HUGE: President Obama has endorsed Dr. Amy Acton for governor of Ohio.
“Amy understands that leaders should solve problems, not create them.
Amy Acton will be the governor that Ohio needs.”
For weeks, some racist Western media outlets published story after story against Professor Jason Arday, at times every few hours, branding him a plagiarist. They hounded him relentlessly, and the pressure became too much for him. He committed suicide in August, aged just 41.
This week, he was cleared of plagiarism yet again. A fresh investigation by the academic publisher Taylor & Francis found nothing to support the allegations. Of the four formal investigations into his work, not one substantiated the charge.
The same publications that hunted him are now silent. They have not corrected their reporting, and they have not had the decency to admit they were wrong.
This is how hard it is to be Black in a deeply racist world, and to succeed where they expect you to fail. Even those who present themselves as the moral conscience of the Western world have nothing to say.
In a shameful act, the Oxford Reform Society has invited Nathan Cofnas, the self-described "race realist" who first raised the plagiarism allegations against Professor Arday, to speak at Oriel College next month. Oriel College, the home of Cecil John Rhodes’ statue.
These institutions are racist. Sadly, Black leaders have failed to build rival institutions that give Black people respect and intellectual dignity.
We are forced to endure disrespect because our leadership has failed us completely. Black billionaires line up to hand money to these institutions in exchange for meaningless honorary titles, instead of building our own.
May Professor Arday's soul rest in peace. You were hounded to your death by publications that today do not even have the shame to admit they were wrong.
.@DawnFlytheMoore and I voted early yesterday and I encourage every Marylander to make a plan to vote. Early voting is open in every county and Baltimore City until Oct 29.

They did their part. Now it’s time to do yours.
Daddy and Julian Bond understood that the right to vote was worth fighting for. We honor their work by exercising that right and protecting it for others.
Today is National Black Man Voter Day. Check your voting location and hours. Vote early where available, and bring someone with you. If you’ve already voted, help someone else get to the polls.
Our families, our communities and our future deserve your participation.

It’s a beautiful night to be inspired, and there’s nothing like a gorgeous sunset walk around the Obama Presidential Center and the nearby Osaka Garden. These young @MBK_Alliance leaders not only care about their community — they care about each other. That’s the enduring spirit of mentorship, friendship and connection we hope to foster, whether you’re young or old.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness helps librarians, nurses, and caregivers pay off their federal student loans.
The Trump administration tried to restrict loan forgiveness for employees of certain government and nonprofit organizations. A federal court struck down the rule in June, and the administration has now dropped its appeal.
Public servants who meet the program’s requirements deserve the loan forgiveness they’ve earned. My Office will keep standing up for Marylanders who serve our communities.

Faith is not separate from how we live. It is reflected in how we show up, how we love, and how we respond in the face of conflict and injustice.
Nonviolence is not passive. It is a disciplined way of living that calls us to align our actions with our values, even when it is difficult.
If we are serious about creating the Beloved Community, we must be intentional about learning and practicing these principles.
Study, grow, and train with us: https://t.co/Q6NEWaKynH
