On the morning of September 11, 2001, LeRoy Wilton Homer Jr. reported for work like he had countless times before.
He was a pilot. A husband. A son. A Black man who had earned his place in a cockpit that had never been designed with him in mind.
When United Flight 93 was hijacked, LeRoy didn’t disappear into fear. From inside the plane, a calm but urgent voice reached the ground. He relayed what was happening. He fought for time. He fought for lives. And when passengers rose up against terror, he was already standing in resistance.
The plane never reached its intended target.
It crashed into a field in Pennsylvania instead—because the people onboard, including the pilots, refused to surrender quietly. Because courage lived in that cabin.
LeRoy Wilton Homer Jr. died that day at just 36 years old.
His name is rarely spoken when 9/11 is remembered. His face is often missing from the narratives. And yet, his sacrifice is inseparable from the lives he helped save. Even in a moment of national mourning, his story reminds us of a painful truth: Black heroism is too often overlooked, even when it costs everything.
But history does not forget forever.
LeRoy Homer was a Black pilot who faced terror with resolve, who helped prevent even greater loss, and who gave his life in the fight. He deserves to be remembered—not as a footnote, but as a hero.
Donald Trump and his allies are trying to bully @NewYorkStateAG as an act of political retribution.
I have news for them: New York will not bow, we will not break, and we stand together with Tish James.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Raskin eviscerates Speaker Johnson for calling the peaceful No Kings rally a "Hate America rally... The hate America rally happened on January 6th, 2021.
What does Speaker Johnson say about that? Nothing."
Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here!
RETWEET if you love @BarackObama!

@ImSimplyWinter He makes easy to do. I used to like him, but after watching his interactions with Mariah I was done and he seems to just be getting worse as the season goes on. 🤦🏾♀️
