@LeleeLyons You just gotta ignore the trolls. You don’t need to defend your legacy to anyone. We know the impact SWV has had on the world. No need to engage with people who just spread hate.
The doors were locked from the outside and fire mysteriously ignited on a cold, wet morning, following earlier thunderstorms in the same area of rural Pulaski County.
On March 5th, 1959, 69 African American boys, ages 13 to 17, were padlocked in their dormitory for the night at the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville. Around 4 a.m., a fire mysteriously ignited, forcing the boys to fight and claw their way out of the burning building.
On this day in 1959, 69 black boys were padlocked in their dormitory at school and it was then set on fire.
21 burnt to death while 48 managed to escape.

What did you think about #ChrisRock's #SelectiveOutrage comedy special?? We're gonna talk about it tomorrow on the show, so please leave your feedback in the comments...
In 2020, at the end of his final year at Pitt, Damar Hamlin organized a toy drive for kids in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa. This is the young man who went down on the field tonight in Cincinnati. He is a man; not a number on a jersey. Prayers for Damar.
The video of Damar Hamlin from a cardiologist’s perspective resembled commotio cordis - a phenomenon that occurs when a sudden blunt impact to the chest causes cardiac arrest.
Timely defibrillation is life saving & prevents anoxic brain injury. I pray an AED was near.
If the coaches and players hadn’t said anything, the NFL would have had these guys playing 5 minutes after seeing one of their peers receive CPR for several minutes 🤦🏾♀️
Please keep Demar Hamlin and his family in your thoughts and prayers. NFL doesn’t have a manual on how to proceed after an incident like this. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾#MondayNightFootball#BillsVsBengals
