From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

Let me tell you a story:

In 2015 I was working on a Presidential campaign and one night some of the staff go to dinner. While there, the person heading up our campaign research (let’s call him Research Guy) looked at me and said he wanted to give me some advice.

He said I will need to get some additional experience before I am able to make this much money again. 🧵

Quincy Jones, who died at 91 on Sunday, was a colossus of American music, leaving a profound influence on nearly every genre he touched — jazz, funk, soundtracks, syrupy R&B and chart-topping pop.

Here is a sampling of his essential work. https://t.co/1Tjwt10C1I

Grief is not a purely negative emotion. Over time, it becomes bittersweet—sadness is joined by love and gratitude.

Nostalgia is a healthy response to loss. Longing for the past motivates us to appreciate the present and improve the future.

The goal of coping is not to erase pain. It's to gain purpose.
