Rep. Norman: January 6th was an issue that was made up in the first place.

Please calm my mind and give peace to my heart.
Take away my stress, fear, and worries.
Give me strength for today and hope for tomorrow.
Help me trust You in every situation.
Amen.”
In 250 years, Louisiana has sent 171 white men to Congress.
During Reconstruction, Black people were elected and denied their seats. Only one Black man — Charles Nash — served in the 1800s.
Then from 1877 to 1990, Louisiana sent zero Black people to Congress. Zero. For 113 years.
In 1990, Black Louisiana finally got a member of Congress again. Since then, white voters have elected 25 members. Black voters have had 4.
All 4 were in the same room fighting to keep the two seats Black Louisiana fought for.
Don’t tell us this isn’t about denying Black people representation. It always has been.
@repcleofields_ and @reptroycarter were joined by former Congressman Cedric Richmond and William Jefferson to let the record be clear that Black voters are due fair maps.
This image should put things into perspective for you.
Today at the state Capitol, the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee will vote on which congressional map Louisiana will have.

Nearly a quarter-century after rap star Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC was shot to death, a man admitted in court to a role in a killing that stymied investigators for decades.

Michael Jackson’s nephew is tackling what he calls a misconception that the late icon “wanted to be white” based on his appearance in the latter half of his life. Jafar Jackson, who is playing his uncle in the new film “Michael,” says Jackson was “proud to be a Black man” and that the skin condition vitiligo played a major part in his life.
