This morning, I remember the Emanuel Nine whose lives were taken on June 17, 2015, during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC.

May their lives, stories, and legacy continue to remind us to stand against all forms of violence.

On this day in 1944, George Stinney, at 14 years, became the youngest person executed in the US in the 20th century. He was so small they had to stack books on the electric chair.

Due to no evidence, his conviction was posthumously vacated 70years after his execution!

In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant.

All children born in the penitentiary to blacks were property of the state.

At 10 years, they would be auctioned off. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children.

Isaiah Foskey, Edge Notre Dame
@IFoskey

Prototypical size ✅
Elite athleticism ✅
High end production ✅

Foskey has shown everything that you look for in an NFL pass rusher.

He deserves to be taken 1st round and talked about as a top 5 edge rusher.

[Mel Vail, Jr. @MelvailJr]

@imTerenceLester It's Done already yours.
