62 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law.

It was not a gift. It was won through courage, sacrifice, organizing, marching, and the refusal to accept legalized discrimination.

But civil rights laws do not protect us by merely existing. They must be enforced, defended, and strengthened.

Today, those protections are being threatened by efforts to weaken enforcement, dismantle equity work, restrict voting power, and distort history. We cannot honor the Civil Rights Act while being passive about efforts to undermine it.

We must stay informed. We must vote. We must pay attention to courts, legislatures, school boards, executive orders, and policies that shape people’s lives.

Freedom is not self-sustaining. Justice must be guarded by every generation.

High school strip search 7 Black teenage boys—over suspected vapes.

"They were made to bend over, squat down,and show their genitals," said mom.

Even though school had a vape detecting wand—so invasive search was never needed.

After all that—no contraband was found of any kind with each of the 7 students.

"These children were too embarrassed at first to tell the full truth because the details were too painful... it left our children emotionally traumatized."

Families announced a federal lawsuit against Attala County School District on July 1, 2026.

Incident occurred at McAdams High School in Attala County, Mississippi—about 60 miles northeast of Jackson.

The founder of Big Ups, Eunique Jones Gibson, did it — her Black-owned diaper and wipes brand is now on shelves in Target stores nationwide.
From dreaming big in a warehouse to seeing her products reach families across the country, this is real representation and Black entrepreneurship winning.
Little ones finally getting diapers and wipes that celebrate them.
Huge milestone. Keep building, queen. 👏🏾

Black Americans didn’t play when it came to Double Dutch. I hope the kids are still keeping this sport alive. Needs to be a part of the Olympics.

A Senagalese physicist, Cheikh Anta Diop (1923 - 1986) used European science to prove they'd been lying about Africa for 200 years. They never forgave him.
