It's my Obama year! Birthday #44 Supposed to be in Curaçao celebrating but 4 days before my flight, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer. So instead, I'm home celebrating her every breath. I declare, SHE IS HEALED! #ibelieveinGod#onlychild#happybirthdaytome#pray
@Dcarteryo@dedeelennae Yep! I was thinking as I was reading all these comments that I am totally fine with the segregation. 🤷🏾♀️ I purchased property in the neighborhood where I grew up to help keep it majority Black because others are coming through buying it up big time.
Happy Birthday to Morgan Freeman, who turns 89 today 🎂💯
He started his career in the 60s, appearing in over 100 films and becoming one of cinema’s greats.
🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
Daniel Nwaekwe just leveled all the way up.
This king finished #3 in his class at McKinney High School, dripping in honors (yellow stole, cords, sashes, medals) as he celebrates getting Princeton bound (accepted into THREE Ivies)!!!
He earned AP Scholar with Distinction, National Merit Commended, 17 AP classes, Black Student Union President, Mr. MHS, Distinguished Student Award, and building his own business (Starstruck World LLC) as a producer & audio engineer.
From the nonstop grind to the Ivy League stage… this is Black excellence in full motion.
Let’s gooooo, Daniel! The world is yours, king! 👏🏽🔥
