Personal responsibility is key. Choose to see the humanity of other people & treat them w/the same regard & respect you want for yourself & loved ones. Let's BE the change we want to see.
@JustCallMeKiku The intro to Jocelyn Brown's "Somebody Else's Guy" is so serious, DJ's WILL play it. Ain't no cutting right to the music. That transition is everything.
Tony Williams was pure fire as a drummer - started playing with miles davis when he was 17. Hard hitter, brilliant musician and damn good composer too.
Born on this day in 1945.
The 3 Black people killed by an avowed white supremacist/hater of Black people:
Anolt "AJ" Laguerre Jr., 19
Jerrald De'Shaun Gallon, 29
Angela Michelle Carr, 52
Our children need to be truthfully and lovingly educated so that they, too, won’t be indoctrinated.

On the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington a white supremacist walked into a store in a Black neighborhood and MURDERED 3 Black people.
He MURDERED Black people for being BLACK. He’s not a…
gunman, assailant, or any other adjective used to diminish his savagery.
He’s a…
white supremacist, murderer, a terrorist, a rapacious, barbaric, monster.
Governor @RonDeSantis called him a “Scumbag.” His condemnation rings hollow.
DeSantis is a RACIST who has done everything in his power to erase the history and contributions of Black people. He has worked tirelessly to suppress their votes and silence their voices.
He has made Florida a hostile and dangerous place for Black people to live or visit. Their blood is on his hands.
We named The GAP Band after Greenwood Archer & Pine streets because we all knew what happened to the thriving Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, OK during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
Instead of using my father to criticize #BlackLivesMatter, use his words and teachings to enact legislation and establish practices that reflect Black lives mattering.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said he was weary of anyone “who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’”
He understood the urgency of now — that we can not wait for justice. We must demand it.
On this #MLKDay, I want to share a few images of the breathtaking 20-foot-tall monument that was unveiled on Friday in Boston Common, the nation’s oldest public park. It honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.
I remember my father for the ideals that he held, and I know that if he were here today, he would be proud of our progress, but deeply disappointed by some of our failures. That is why we must continue to fight for peace, justice, and equity. Happy birthday, dad.
