Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson Jackson spearheaded a multimillion-dollar renovation of Spelman College's fine arts building and were honored at the mural reveal. The couple discovered their passion for acting and each other while attending Morehouse and Spelman College.

The center is now named the LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Samuel L. Jackson Performing Arts Center! #BlackExcellence

You signed campus carry for colleges, permitless concealed carry statewide, and allowed so many hospitals to close that the nearest and only area Level 1 trauma center for victims is 45 miles and an 1.5 hours away. You should be ashamed.

Yes. I am absolutely going to say I told you so. This was preventable, @NABJ. Look what you have wrought, @kenlemonnabj. How did you not see this coming? #NABJ #NABJ24

[Renny G. @RendaRoo23]

Proposal: We, as a planet, should have Olympic PTO. Because I’m literally not getting a thing done at work and I know everyone else isn’t either. Tbh it’s pretty unpatriotic to expect me to work right now.

[Mel • Akin @TheOnlyMEA]

Truly disappointed in the way #NABJ approached, and is handling, the announcement that Orange Man will be attending the National Conference.
