Listen as Dr. King makes the case for Black Americans to receive reparations in 1967.👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Until America reckons with & repents (with corresponding action) for the continuum of gross inhumane treatment of Black people, from slavery to Jim Crow to today’s systemic racism, in the words of my father, “there will be neither rest nor tranquility.”

A Democrat was in the White House when my family was sent to the internment camps in 1941. It was an egregious violation of our human and civil rights.

It would have been understandable if people like me said they’d never vote for a Democrat again, given what had been done to us.

But being a liberal, being a progressive, means being able to look past my own grievances and concerns and think of the greater good. It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.

I went on to campaign for Adlai Stevenson when I became an adult. I marched for civil rights and had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King. I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.

Bill Clinton broke my heart when he signed DOMA into law. It was a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community. And I knew that we still had much work to do. But I voted for him again in 1996 despite my misgivings, because the alternative was far worse. And my obligation as a citizen was to help choose the best leader for it, not to check out by not voting out of anger or protest.

There is no leader who will make the decision you want her or him to make 100 percent of the time. Your vote is a tool of hope for a better world. Use it wisely, for it is precious. Use it for others, for they are in need of your support, too.

Hammering anyone who says killing must stop, now. Threatening with loss of jobs and livelihoods; bullying students; rescinding job offers; using full weight of formal institutions and informal networks against people, without distinction.

Driving us all to a new day.

16 incarcerated individuals recently graduated from the Northwestern University Prison Education Program — marking the FIRST time a top-ranked U.S. university awarded degrees to students in prison! Incarceration and setbacks didn’t stop them from pursuing their dreams!

Greens flavored with ham hocks is a survival story. Enslaved African Americans stretched their allotments of food by growing greens and using scraps of meat to add flavor and nutrients.

If some of y’all are gonna give Trump credit for jobs, then do the same for @potus @joebiden @vp @kamalaharris. See, these are FACTS. But I’m sure some will find a way to complain. #Civics101 #Economics101

Rosalynn Carter’s life is a reminder that no matter who we are, our legacies are best measured not in awards or accolades, but in the lives we touch. We send our thoughts and prayers to Jimmy and the entire Carter family during this difficult time.

50 of these judges are Black, many civil rights lawyers and defense attorneys. How many did Trump appoint? I don’t deal w/emotion. I deal in FACTS. FACT: 88% of Trump judges were white; 75% were white men. These judges are appointed for LIFE. Y’all better understand this in 2024!
