I am heartbroken over the passing of a civil rights hero: Clarence B. Jones, who served as counsel and close confidant to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a co-organizer of the March on Washington, and a co-writer of the immortal “I Have a Dream” speech.
Clarence Jones is one of the greatest heroes I will ever meet. To have known a moral giant on whose shoulders so many of us stand is a gift from God that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Dr. Jones not only practiced law. He transformed it. And we are all better for it.
May his memory be a blessing.
An esteemed, beloved elder is now an ancestor.
Clarence B. Jones, among Dr. King’s trusted legal counsels and strategic advisors, has passed.
We are grateful for his life and his work in the interest of justice and Civil Rights.
Our hearts go out to his family and our prayers go up on behalf of his loved ones.

SIX YEARS, SIX MOMENTS! In 2024 we committed to advancing literacy in Oakland with a $25m investment, providing one-on-one tutoring and literacy programs for @ousdnews students and surrounding them with the books, tutoring, and encouragement they need to succeed.
@TheKardiac_Kid Hey, random but might have a really fun/cool opportunity for you. I'm a long-suffering, diehard Browns fan and appreciate how you've helped make that a bit more fun. Send me a message when you have a sec.

Heartbroken to learn that all-time great sportswriter and good friend John Feinstein has died. John was such an amazing journalist. There was never a moment with John that you weren’t challenged to think about things in an elevated way. He cut right to the heart of things. What a pro. RIP.
