I learned that Dr.Martin Luther King Jr was apart of the d9!!! I never knew that. I also learned that black history is a core value is the d9!!!!!!
Bill Walton was one of the greatest basketball players of all time – a champion at every level and the embodiment of unselfish team play. He was also a wonderful spirit full of curiosity, humor and kindness. We are poorer for his passing, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family.
Florence Griffith Joyner was one of the most flamboyant runners of all time. FloJo won three Olympic gold medals and two silvers. More than 30 years after she sprinted to three gold medals in the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games, Flo Jo is still considered the fastest woman of all time.
Don’t full agree but do agree that we need students to learn how to debate ideas they disagree with instead of simply shouting them down. I always had at least one uncomfortable speaker for Bless the Mic & Brain Food. I wouldn’t do it any differently. https://t.co/vi1vvixtQZ
@sheedyali Thank you for telling us the purpose of the D9! The purpose is clear that our black culture is here to uplift each other & become advocates to each other. I’m tuned in while i’m at work ❤️
One thing I’ve learned in part 1 was about sisterhood and brother hood it’s not about strolling it’s about helping each other and helping the community the people that are important @sheedyali and @harborninstitute
“We all remember our cafeteria workers, our financial aid workers, campus police from our days at HBCUs — we still do. Those are your go-to people…We all knew that they didn’t know anybody’s name, but we were all ‘baby,’ ‘honey,’ ‘dear’ and ‘sweetheart.’” https://t.co/RTlOXGxtIi
Stopped by a local fav for lunch before speaking tonight.
Even though the restaurant was packed there is still a table that is always open for one person. @DeionSanders#coachprime
#OnThisDay in 2016, our museum first opened its doors to the public. Today, we commemorate 7 years as the nation’s largest destination devoted exclusively to exploring, documenting and showcasing the African American story. #APeoplesJourney#ANationsStory
