My heart goes out to #MikeBrown’s family today.
I’m praying especially for Mike’s mother, Lezley McSpadden (pictured here), and his father, Michael Brown, Sr.
10 years later, and, still, they mourn Mike; and, still, we’ve yet to pass comprehensive legislation to enhance public safety and prevent police brutality.
The work continues.

“All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.” - Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
Yesterday, on what would have been his 97th birthday, a vibrant celebration of life was held at the iconic Riverside Church in New York City to honor the legendary singer, actor, civil rights activist, and our founder, the late great Harry Belafonte.
We mourn the passing of Tony Bennett, a true legend of American music and a tireless advocate for social justice.We are grateful for Tony Bennett's contributions to the world, and we will miss his music and activism.

@smart_MS3 Thank you, Marcus, for your time in Boston. You were a true Celtic. You'll be missed, but I'll still be rooting for you, no matter what jersey you're wearing. You're an amazing basketball star and even more important, an exceptional human.
