America turns 250 on July 4.
Never forget that Indigenous people were forcefully removed from their land and Black people were enslaved when this country declared its independence.
Today, Indigenous & Black people are still treated with disrespect.
I'm not celebrating. 🔥☕️
BREAKING: In a powerful display of solidarity, thousands of Americans are marching in Selma to protest against the Supreme Court's rulings gutting the Voting Rights Act. This is amazing.
Remember blacks we are at war for too many people to be at war with each other. We have no friends we have no allies. All we got is each other.. we must pledge legion to each each other. No one will protect our civil rights and human rights.. the right to vote. they want to return to Jim Crow 2.0.. they want to return to colonization against African people. Pay attention.

Green filed a complaint with the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Commission, a landmark case that ended up in the United States Supreme Court which ruled in Greens favor and helped dismantle racial discrimination in the American passenger airline industry.
While David Harris was the first Black pilot hired with a major airline, Marlon Green’s fight for the right to be in the flight deck cleared a path for generations of Black pilots to come. In 2010, Continental dedicated a 737 named for Captain Marlon Green. The aircraft, N77518, still flies for United today.
Thank you, Marlon Green for your contributions towards Black History and paving the way for many to follow 🧑🏾✈️✈️
