I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

On this day in 1963, civil rights leader and organizer #MedgarEvers was assassinated by a white supremacist in the driveway of his home. We remember his legacy and honor his family, including his wife, #MyrlieEversWilliams, who was a dear friend of our founder, #CorettaScottKing.

D.L. Hughley continues to voice his dissatisfaction with the guilty verdict in the Karmelo Anthony trial and says there has never been a case in the United States where a white guy k*lled a Black guy and was given a guilty verdict by an all Black jury.

@tariqnasheed@NoireShar Notice how badly white supremacist contradict themselves in terms of their stance on chud vs Karmelo.
America is racist and just lynched a child for defending himself.
Karmelo was found guilty of murder jury in TX. There was a reason why they had to manufacture a jury with no Black jurors. They needed a jury that would ignore the law and implement the "I'm-white-and-I-say-so" rule.
Not saying he’s totally innocent but just saying had it been the other way, we all know Karmelo Anthony would be called “a thug who got what he deserved” 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ https://t.co/qbnNH9VMqx
Didn’t take 24 hrs for a so called “law & order / 2nd amendment / evangelical” white supremacist piece of trash to call for Karmelo Anthony to be lynched 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ #ThisIsAmerica https://t.co/t9IZOCb0DH

Don Lemon: “If Barack Obama had sued his own government, settled with himself in secret, created a billion dollar fund with no congressional oversight to pay his political allies. What if he did that? They would’ve had him in chains before sundown. The National Guard would have been called in. Impeachment articles would have been filed. Can you imagine Fox News?”
TODAY: ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE SOUTH.
Republican lawmakers across the South are carving up maps to dilute Black voting power and protect their own power because fair maps would threaten their grip.
They knew the voters didn’t support this, so they went around them.
