When we remember that 57 years ago today, WWII veteran and civil rights organizer Medgar Evers was assassinated in front of his home by a white supremacist its important not only to recall his death, but his life. His work to make black citizenship real still matters.
“We Be Word Sorcerers. Indeed. For we are the disenchanters of the gospel of inferiority, the exorcists of hatred of self, the enchanters of our renewed circle of Blackness where the love of self and each other has no Beginning or End.”

@ericabuddington I had a little bit of a Stan mentality through elementary and secondary. Most of it ignited by fluff homework that I found useless. But independent reading was my lifeblood.
50 years ago, history was written at the Stonewall Inn when New York's LGBT community stood up, spoke out, and started a movement. In 2016 I was proud to designate it as a national monument—a reminder the arc of our history is an arc of progress as long as we keep pushing for it.
Gospel: Today Jesus says that if you call someone a name you will, essentially, go to hell (Mt 5:20-26). "Whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa,' [Aramaic: "idiot"] will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna." Hear O @Twitter.
To all my many #LGBTQ friends, Catholic and otherwise: Happy #PrideMonth Be proud of your God-given dignity, of the gifts God has given you, of your place in the world, and of your many contributions to the church. For you are "wonderfully made" by God (Ps 139). #PrideMonth2019
The @SaintLouisMBB had a great season with a significantly depleted team. So proud of them! They will be back and be a team that will be tough to beat.
