Mike Tyson was 20 years old in this shot. One of the fiercest and most intimidating boxers in history. It really seems like his genetics were exceptional.
"You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea."
— Medgar Evers
Today marks 63 years since the civil rights leader was assassinated in front of his home by a white supremacist.
As we continue the fight for a more equitable society, we will continue to honor his legacy. ❤️🖤💚
When he was 12 years old, Christophe Maleau swam 40 kilometers from Saint Lucia 🇱🇨 to Martinique 🇲🇶 to support his mother and raise breast cancer awareness.
He completed the crossing in October 2020. He started from Rodney Bay in Saint Lucia at 5:10 a.m. and reached Sainte Anne after 13 hours, 50 minutes, and 47 seconds.
The swim was part of the Octobre Rose breast cancer awareness campaign. Maleau did it for his mother, Murielle, who was diagnosed with the disease when he was nine years old. He described the experience as enriching and, above all, an act of self-transcendence.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.
@SleeperNats Yeah, that’s solely on the Lerners and senior admin hell bent on TV contracts and vendor profits as opposed to fielding a WS team with solid pitching and bullpen support. We have the bats! We don’t have the arms. It’s sad. Damn near criminal.
On this day in 1963, civil rights leader and organizer #MedgarEvers was assassinated by a white supremacist in the driveway of his home. We remember his legacy and honor his family, including his wife, #MyrlieEversWilliams, who was a dear friend of our founder, #CorettaScottKing.

“It’s time to wake the fuck up”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

Mississippi. New Black Wall Streets popping up! The Hollaway Brothers; Engineers, Real Estate, Culinary by trade just bought a town square. Next phase renovations.
A family in Lee County, GA, was enjoying a reunion together when a man drove by yelling racial slurs. Minutes later, he returned wearing body armor and carrying an AR-15-style rifle before opening fire. Marine veteran Ramell Green stepped in to protect his family from a hate-fueled attack. Black families deserve to gather, celebrate, and make memories without fear of becoming targets. This was no misunderstanding but a deliberate act that endangered the lives of children and elders. When innocent lives are put in the crosshairs of hate, accountability is not optional and justice is NOT negotiable.
