Civility has its virtues, BUT civility does not = true peace
Kindness matters, BUT kindness does not = justice
Be careful not to try to substitute civility and kindness for true peace and justice
Or to try to hinder true peace and justice with calls for civility and kindness.

My heart goes out to #TamirRice’s family, especially to his mother, Samaria Rice, on today, Tamir’s birthday.
He should be celebrating 21 years.
It is a grave injustice that he’s not.
And I just can’t imagine how devastating that is for Ms. Rice…I’m sorry.

Pres. Biden made #Juneteenth a national holiday in 2021. This #NMAAHC article explores its legacy & origin in Galveston, TX, when enslaved people learned of their freedom late on June 19, 1865 (2 years after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation) because slaveholders kept it secret.

Juneteenth is an often overlooked event in our nation’s history. On June 19, 1865, Union troops freed enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay and across Texas some two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

Little Richard may be the most influential figure in #rocknroll because he distilled its essence: gender-bending #blues & a dynamite mixture of #gospel & the profane. His influence on rockers who followed him (gay, straight, and everything in between) is incalculable. #PrideMonth #littlerichard
