Harriet Go was told that she couldn't teach sighted kids because of her blindness. She's broken down barriers to prove the naysayers wrong. Now, sisters, Harriet and Heather Go are raising funds for NBP as team H&H Go! #BrailleAcrossAmerica #braille

LBJ on the riots of 68: “What did you expect? I don’t know why we’re surprised. When you put your foot on a man’s neck and hold him down for 300 years, and then you let him up, what’s he going to do? He’s going to knock your block off.”

Registered to vote in November? Are you sure? Especially if you are a renter, you are vulnerable to having your name stripped from voter registration roles. It takes 30 seconds to make sure: https://t.co/MmV0W8VJnQ #vote #VoteOutHate #VoterSuppression #VoterReg2020

"This burning rage that you are seeing, when you turn your TV on, or you hear in my voice, is real. People are fed up. To the white community that is now waking up to see this rage, we have been telling you this forever." Suffolk County DA Rachael Rollins.
