Nashville made the national news for tons of mostly white tourists partying maskless downtown with police officers present, then again with a massive maskless party house gathering. A Homeless Black man makes history as Nashville’s 1st arrest for—not wearing a mask.

I’m simply astonished. We’re not likely to see any meaningful spending of our CARES Act funding until sometime in September.

We should’ve spent a significant amount in _months ago_ to help vulnerable Nashvillians. Failing that, tomorrow is better than Sep. We have a relief fund!

Rev. Vivian, 30 years ago, looked into the eyes of TSU Students during the 1990 Sit In and told us: “Keep fighting. You are in the right.” He then hosted a press conference where the Sit-In leaders of the 60’s endorsed the kids on the floor in the 90’s. Rest In Power, Rev.

Last night’s lead news story on #TheInfinityPlan was a pleasant surprise. In addition to selecting an inclusive police chief, Nashville needs to prioritize building communities for displaced Creatives, Artists, and Teachers who can’t afford to live here.

Here's my new editorial in The Tennessean. As a person who was born and raised here, I can say honestly, It’s time to create a better 'Nashville Way' that truly works for everyone | Opinion https://t.co/x6UgGF2Em0 via @tennessean

Missing my oldest @Jumokecarr , because she’s doing great grownup things in the world!

Being a Father is easy (any adult male can do it). Being a Dad takes investment. But it’s a gift that keeps on giving. I stand on some powerful Ancestral shoulders. #HappyFathersDay  Dads!

[Greg Carr @AfricanaCarr]

On #FathersDay we lift the Black men in our lives who have fathered us:

Babas, Jegnas, Daddies, Pops, Pop-Pops, Big Papas, Padres, Old Heads and Elders.

Biology brings us. Community shapes and guides who we are.

Dobale to all Brothers who form Our Collective Fatherhood.
