Gabrielle Union was so funny in Deliver Us from Eva, man.

The most humblest thing about starting from the bottom is that you get to see how people really view you when they think you have nothing.

Ava DuVernay’s new documentary “14th” is set to premiere on Netflix later this year.

According to the logline: “14th” is centered around the 14th amendment. Written in the wreckage of the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was meant to close the door on the hierarchy of human worth. Instead, it has become a permanent argument. DuVernay’s pulls this constitutional fight out of the footnotes and into the present. The documentary chronicles the vicious battle over the amendment that has raged for over 150 years. Threading deep archival scholarship with piercing headlines of today, “14th” brings together legal minds, politicians, historians and cultural voices in direct conversation with a question America still hasn’t settled: Who gets to belong?

Rest in power to our elder Denise Oliver-Velez. Although the Young Lords has been framed as a Puerto Rican organization, 25 percent of its membership was African American and many of its members, especially the NYC branch were Afro Latino. @DeniseVele49788

Do not talk about discernment if you cannot recognise when someone needs compassion more than criticism and correction. There is a time to guide and a time to simply hold space for a person who is hurting. Wisdom knows the difference. And kindness knows it even faster.

Re-learning myself while unlearning old behavior. It’s really me vs me.

Mississippi has never elected a Black governor, despite having the HIGHEST percentage of BLACK residents of any state. Let me say that again, Mississippi has one of the largest Black populations by percentage in the ENTIRE country, yet still has never elected a Black governor.

1980s photographs of Grace Jones by photographer Jean-Paul Goude.

Some of the most timeless photoshoots ever created, in my opinion*

CHALLENGES WILL ALWAYS COME, even at the peak of success; but true greatness is about rising above the setbacks.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

When they were six and seven years old, George and Willie Muse were kidnapped from their rural Virginia farm by a "freak hunter" in the early 1900s. Born with albinism, they were forced to perform in circuses for the next 25 years until their mom saw them at a sideshow and sued for their freedom.

Born in Truevine, Virginia, the brothers had albinism, a genetic condition that affects the body’s ability to produce melanin, resulting in lighter skin, hair, and vision differences. During an era when many people with unusual physical characteristics were exploited by traveling shows, George and Willie became part of the circus industry at a very young age.

For decades, they performed in sideshows where promoters created false stories about who they were and where they came from. They were given names such as “Eko and Iko” and advertised in ways that treated their appearance as a spectacle rather than recognizing them as two brothers with a real family and identity.

Their mother, Harriet Muse, never gave up searching for them. After years apart, she eventually found her sons performing and fought to regain control over their lives and ensure they were treated and compensated more fairly.

Although the brothers continued performing, their story changed from one of exploitation to one of survival, family, and reclaiming their own identity.

George and Willie Muse lived through a time when society often failed people who were considered different, but their legacy today is not defined by the circus posters. It is defined by their resilience and the mother who refused to let the world forget they were her sons.

There are too many cases involving Black victims where families are still waiting for answers. Every family deserves the truth. #NolanWells
