On Thursday, Julius Jones is scheduled to be executed by the state of Oklahoma. He has been recommended for commutation. It's clear he is innocent and was wrongfully convicted. @GovStitt, please commute Julius’ sentence. #FreeJuliusJones

Akron knows that @KingJames is the greatest just as much for what he does on the court, as for what he does off it. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all you did and continue to do for our great city. Always #JustAKidFromAkron
The U.S. leaving the UN Human Rights Council reflects the posture and policies of this administration. It shouldn’t be a surprise, but another sign that we are in a state of emergency. Wake up. Do justice. Research issues. Advocate for good. Use your voice. Pay attention.

The most authentic way to honor my father is to commit to the work of creating a more peaceful, just, humane world. Let quotes coincide with conscious efforts to eradicate poverty, militarism and racism (privilege + power = oppressive policies + culture). #MLK50Forward#MLK
When I look at my son - I see so much. I see beauty in his face. I see joy in his smile. I see intelligence when he tinkers with toys. I see love when he snuggles with his mama. I see so much. And I thank Dr. King - for I know more people will see him as I do #MLKDay2018
