This is Trump’s legacy: the resurgence of the Klan.

.@SalHernandez spoke to the Black woman seen in a viral photo holding her son while waiting in line to vote.

"The way COVID is affecting the African American community is astonishing and that's concerning to me," she said https://t.co/huTKODUHhf

Breonna deserves a federal prosecution against the officers. But Barr won’t launch an investigation because that would inflame their base.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of "Remember the Titans." My movie has, over that time, become a cultural phenomenon. We need the lessons from Titans now, more than ever.

"Before we reach for hate, always, we remember the Titans".

And even after Remember the Titans made more than 10x its budget at the box office, Howard and the film were still seen as outliers. https://t.co/sBaq60zZ29

Screenwriter @GregoryAHoward was rejected by every buying entity in Hollywood—twice!—before Remember the Titans finally found a home at Disney. “A couple of them said, ‘If you get rid of the race stuff and just do it as a football movie, we’ll buy it.’” https://t.co/sBaq60zZ29

President Obama used Trevor Rabin’s score from Remember the Titans as the crescendo to his 2008 victory speech. For Rabin, who grew up during apartheid in South Africa and thought of Nelson Mandela while composing the music, it was a powerful moment. https://t.co/sBaq60ioaB

Left side! Strong side! Twenty years after its release, I looked into the making of Remember the Titans and how it became everyone’s favorite sports movie that’s not really about sports at all for the @washingtonpost. https://t.co/sBaq60ioaB

Correction. A life well lived

RIP Notorious RBG. Alive well lived.

Trump is contemptuous of the military obviously. When confronted with the bounty on heads of soldiers, he did nothing. Of course he doesn't understand sacrifice for a nation. He's a sociopathic narcissist.

Princeton, my alma mater, has a notoriously racist past. It didn’t really integrate until the early 60s—the last Ivy League school to integrate, the first one to have a black valedictorian! As Marcus Garvey said, “Up, you mighty race.”

Today the house passed the Emmett Till anti lynching bill. It feels hollow. It’s 100 years too late. Today’s bill mocks the thousands who were butchered. For me, it is just a hideous reminder of America’s ocean of hate for our people.
