don't leave Sudan, Haiti, and Congo out of your advocacy.

black people deserve support. especially in a world that runs on anti-blackness and the destabilization of primarily black countries and nations.

On what would have been Michael Jackson’s 68th birthday, I’m remembering the extraordinary gift he shared with the world and the special connection he had with my mother and our family.

This photo of Michael with my mother takes me back to a time when his remarkable talent was already captivating the world.

Happy heavenly birthday, Michael. Your music, creativity, and impact continue to live on.

The King Center remembers #EmmettTill. 71 years ago today, the apple of his mom, Mamie Till’s, eye was brutally dehumanized and lynched by a rabidly racist mob of white men who had been lied to by a white woman. Even if she had been telling the truth about Emmett whistling at her, the lynching of Emmett Till would have still been vile and reprehensible. A whistle inciting a murder is depravity.

However, this was like many incidents today, when people know that a lie, embellishment of a misunderstanding, or reporting the presence of a Black person will facilitate violence against that person.

Anti-black racism still exists. And is persisting in policies, dismissing of critical history lessons, policing, systemic barriers, and strategic, unjust efforts to weaponize the word “woke” at the expense of Black people in America.

Just as the lynching of Emmett Till and his mother showing his body at his funeral were catalysts for the movement then, may his memory galvanize us now.

White people, this isn’t ancient history — this is within your living memory. In South Carolina, Black families were denied basic medical care, even dental treatment. Black people couldn’t go to white dentists, so many had to visit veterinarians to get their teeth removed.

19 years ago, @ciara released her sophomore album, “Ciara: The Evolution”. All four singles reached Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with over 338k copies sold first week (same week as Eminem and Gwen Stefani albums).

White people implemented violent systems of racial oppression, but no one ever generalizes and calls their race "violent." Why?

I recommend this book. Read or re-read it this month. Written by my father in 1967…it resonates powerfully today. A brief excerpt: “The segregationist goal is the total reversal of all reforms, with reestablishment of naked oppression and if need be a native form of fascism. America had a master race in the antebellum South. Reestablishing it with a resurgent Klan and a totally disenfranchised lower class would realize the dream of too many extremists on the right.”
