Many quote Daddy today, but when he was alive, he was one of the most hated men in the United States. And I suspect that, among the many who quote him, there are those who hate the authentic, peacemaking, truth telling, poverty-racism-militarism eradicating King. #MLK

To be clear, Nikki didn’t change her name. She chooses to go by her middle name instead of her first. And maybe it’s not fair to point out her actual name.
Im sure people in SC wouldn’t care.

These are the pages of my inaugural poem that an objecting parent cited as "not educational and have indirectly hate messages". And now because of that one complaint, my poem is now banned for elementary school students at a school in @MiamiDadeCounty.
At the World Championships in Budapest, USA’s Anita Alvarez sank to the bottom of the pool.
Looking across the deck, and noticing she was under way too long, her coach, Andrea Fuentes immediately dove in after her fully clothed, pulling her to safety. Anita was unconscious and didn’t have the capacity to kick, paddle, or help herself in any way.
If Andrea would not have noticed, she would have drown.
But she knew Anita. She looked for her, quickly noticed she was under too long, then dove in without thinking twice.
This has resonated with me….
When you are under too long, who are the people that will look for you, notice, and dive in to pull you to the surface when you lose your strength to swim?
Who are the people that would do that for you?
And can someone count on you to be that person that would go looking and notice when they are under too long, diving in to support them when they are all out of fight and fuel to swim in these turbulent waters we call life?

FAMU Students marched to the Florida State Capitol to protest what they believed were racist policies in Florida Higher Education in the 70s & 80s! Is it time to do it again?
