Viola Davis’ career spans decades, with some of her biggest milestones coming later in life.
She grew up in “abject poverty,” living in rat infested, condemned buildings and at times eating out of garbage cans and dumpsters.
In 2015, she became the first woman of color to win the Emmy for best lead actress in a drama for "How to Get Away With Murder." A year later, she won an Academy Award for "Fences," a role that had already earned her a Tony Award.
In 2023, she completed EGOT status with a Grammy for narrating her memoir "Finding Me." She is also a co owner of JuVee Productions, which helped bring "The Woman King" to the screen.
She is one of the greatest living self-made Americans on the #Forbes250 list. https://t.co/dD3PMhGYdb

America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.
Former President Barack Obama is viewed positively by 57% of Americans, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, far surpassing the ratings for his two Oval Office successors. Only 34% of the public offers a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump, with former President Joe Biden's favorability trailing at just 30%. https://t.co/5yRK0iqSGr
I would read letters like Emily’s every night in the White House. They were powerful reminders of why the work we did mattered, and who we were fighting for.
When folks visit the Obama Presidential Center, my hope is that they see their stories reflected in the exhibits, and leave inspired to change their own neighborhoods.
Black fathers. Far more involved in their children lives than in the other group in America. Do not listen to the white supremacist propaganda against black men and black fathers.

The Black Coaches Association proudly congratulates both NBA Finals head coaches, Mike Brown and Mitch Johnson.
History will be made as two Black head coaches meet on basketball’s biggest stage in the 2026 NBA Finals.
This opportunity has only happened a handful of times in NBA history, making this moment even more significant for the game and for the next generation of coaches who aspire to lead at the highest level.
No matter the outcome, one thing is certain:
A Black head coach will be crowned NBA Champion.
We celebrate the leadership, resilience, preparation, and excellence that both coaches have displayed throughout their journeys.
Good luck to Coach Brown and Coach Johnson.
They WIN. WE WIN. ✊🏾🏆

65 years ago, the first #FreedomRiders including the late John Lewis began their journey through the South to peacefully protest racial discrimination. They were beaten, arrested, and bombed.
Today, old battles have become new again. This week, Alabama state leaders are trying to take us back to the Jim Crow era by erasing Black political representation and robbing our communities of a voice in Congress.
It’s time for us to take a page from the Freedom Riders’ playbook. It’s time to send a message to politicians in Montgomery.
We are NOT going back.
Make no mistake. This right-wing Supreme Court is hellbent on erasing the progress secured by our foremothers and forefathers during the Civil Rights Movement.
But we are NOT going back!
Today we honor the first Black mayor of Birmingham, Alabama—Richard Arrington Jr. He served the city for two decades and dedicated himself to making Birmingham “a city where all of her people could be proud.” #BlackHistoryMonth
Tax Tip Thursday 2-26-26
For today's edition of #taxtipThursday we're talking about how the One Big Beautiful Bill affected the Standard Deduction going into tax season 2026 #taxes#taxtime#taxprep26
Mike Johnson has denied the request from Rev. Jesse Jackson’s family and Democrats in Congress to allow his body to lie at the U.S. Capitol, saying this honor is reserved for presidents and certain top federal officials. In contrast, Congress previously approved a special resolution allowing conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s body to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda, even though he was not a president or federal officeholder.
That contrast sends a painful message about whose lives and sacrifices are deemed worthy of our highest public tributes and highest public honors. This is not about protocol, it is about power and disrespect, a deliberate choice to minimize the legacy of a man who bled for this country’s promise of equality. We will not quietly accept this insult to Rev. Jackson, his family, or the movement he helped build.
If a six-year-old Black girl integrated a whites-only elementary school escorted by the federal marshals.
Then your kids are old enough to learn her story as white parents chanted death threats and chased her with a coffin w/ a Black baby doll in it. #WhiteFragility#snowflake
The Trump administration’s objection to a program that helps people of color pursue doctorate degrees has prompted colleges to cut ties with a range of organizations associated with racial minority groups, a Post investigation found. https://t.co/PBDm0x1x9o
