The Grandmother of Juneteenth is an HBCU grad. ✊🏾
Before Dr. Opal Lee made June 19 a national holiday, she earned her elementary education degree from Wiley College.
HBCUs build leaders who change our nation. #Juneteenth#HBCUPride
I attest that the cast and crew of @AbbottElemABC ,cast and crew, is exactly the brand of wonderful we thought. Yup. Like the warmest hug from a sincere friend, that got jokes. Goes down as-“wonderful experience”.
You can't erase our history. It's not just Black history it's also American history. My Great-uncle was Captain Albert Whiteside Jr an original Tuskegee Airmen. When I was a child I got to talk to him in person. People should learn about the Tuskegee Airmen.

#HydeiaBroadbent, a remarkable HIV/AIDS activist, daughter and friend, has sadly passed away at the age of 39.
May her story of perseverance inspire us all and may she rest in power. 🕊️
I’m devastated to hear about the passing of an incredible young woman, activist and hero Hydeia Broadbent. In 1992, I did a Nickelodeon special called “A Conversation with Magic”, and 7-year-old Hydeia and I made an incredible impact. Hydeia changed the world with her bravery, speaking about how living with HIV affected her life since birth. She dedicated her life to activism and became a change agent in the HIV/AIDS fight. By speaking out at such a young age, she helped so many people, young and old, because she wasn’t afraid to share her story and allowed everyone to see that those living with HIV and AIDS were everyday people and should be treated with respect. Thanks to Hydeia, millions were educated, stigmas were broken, and attitudes about HIV/AIDs were changed. We will miss her powerful voice in this world. Cookie and I are praying for the Broadbent family and everyone that knew and loved Hydeia.
Michelle and I were saddened to hear about the passing of Dexter Scott King. Dexter was the youngest son of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, and dedicated his life to protecting their legacy. As Chairman of The King Center, he inspired a new generation to continue their work for justice and equality. Our thoughts are with his wife Leah and the entire King family.
