This is what Greenwood looked like before it was attacked and destroyed. Before the smoke and flames, before the killing, there was a thriving Black community known as Black Wall Street, filled with Black owned businesses, homes, faith, dignity, and possibility.
What began on May 31, 1921 was an assault on one of the most prosperous Black communities in the nation, a place where Black enterprise, excellence, and self determination were visible in every block. The violence would continue into June 1 and leave that community devastated. More than 35 blocks were destroyed, hundreds were killed, and thousands were left homeless.
We must remember not only how Greenwood was destroyed, but what was stolen.

Sometimes God will let your heart break just enough to break your attachment to what was breaking you. Stop calling it rejection when it was really rescue.

Some days the world feels heavy, yet the
Sunrise still arrives softly,
Flowers still bloom patiently, and
Hearts still find reasons to love again.

A commitment to compassionate action and love centered leadership is not weakness. It is how we help light up the world without burning it down.

When asked what sort of government the United States had, Benjamin Franklin famously said, "A republic, if you can keep it."
Like many, columnist Sophia Nelson has been wondering how well we have kept it. Her new book, "Redefining Freedom," seeks to answer that question and provide recommendations for how we can adapt America's founding principles.
Watch Ali Rogin's (@AliRogin) interview with Nelson.
My father showed us that nonviolence is not passive and it is not weak. It is love organized into action. It is courage disciplined enough to confront injustice without surrendering our humanity.
That truth still matters now. In this season of ongoing attacks on voting rights and efforts to turn us against one another, we are called to do more than react. We are called to organize, build, and move with the kind of moral force that can challenge systems and transform society.
My father did not just dream of a better world. He helped build the power to bring change, and that same work is still before us.
