Keshia Knight Pulliam, best known as Rudy Huxtable from The Cosby Show, earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Spelman College in 2001.
While actively continuing her acting career, she balanced the demands of fame with the rigors of college life at the prestigious HBCU. She also became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority during her time there.
A strong example of prioritizing long-term personal growth alongside early success. Respect to Keshia for showing it’s possible to do both. 👏🏾🎓
What Nick Cannon said is exactly how misinformation spreads.
Yes, the KKK was tied to Southern Democrats in the 1800s. That part is true.
But leaving out what happened next changes the entire meaning.
In the 1960s, after Lyndon B. Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the racists who supported segregation did not just disappear…
They left the Democratic Party and shifted politically. That is a huge part of the story that keeps getting left out.
AND THAT MATTERS.
Because when we, especially Black voices with big platforms, repeat half stories, it does not just stay a conversation. It spreads and it can be used against us.
We cannot afford to be loud and wrong at the same time, especially right now.
Small Business Saturday is an important reminder that the backbone of Westchester’s economy is built on the dedication and vision of our small business owners. These entrepreneurs invest not only in their companies but in the well-being of their communities. They create jobs, mentor young workers, sponsor local events and help shape the character of our cities, towns and villages.
When residents choose to shop local, they strengthen the local economy and keep dollars circulating within our communities. I encourage everyone to take time today to discover a new small business or revisit a favorite one. Our local businesses deserve our appreciation and our support, not just today but throughout the holiday season and the year ahead.
