Beware of this account. This person is claiming to be an online claim agent for USAID. USAID primarily gives aid to people outside of the United States--it's a US international humanitarian and goodwill agency. Plus the grammar and punctuation are a mess. This might be a phishing attempt. #scam

Beyoncé's #CowboyCarter has a track called "The Linda Martell Show." Linda was a talented country artist & the first Black woman to play the Opry in '69. Unfortunately, her career was cut short due to racism and sexism. Listen to our curated selection of Linda's song here. #Beyonce #LindaMartell

OTD 03.03.1975 Earth, Wind & Fire released their classic That’s the Way of the World. Writer Michael Harriot on the significance of that album & EWF: “To this day, every time I hear it, I remember what joy sounds like. What love tastes like. What home feels like.” #earthwindfire #michaelharriot

A BMP infographic ft. the band Earth, Wind & Fire. Beside the graphic is the following quote: “Have you ever heard That’s the Way of the World? If you are Black, the answer is yes. If you have ever been to a cookout, the answer is yes. If you have an aunt who owns a leather miniskirt or a leopard-print blouse, the answer is yes. If you have ever smelled incense burning in a room with a ceiling fan, the answer is yes. To this day, every time I hear it, I remember what joy sounds like. What love tastes like. What home feels like.” — Writer, journalist, and poet Michael Harriot on Earth, Wind & Fire’s “That’s the Way of the World” from his book Black AF History.

Finally. Some kind of movement. It's been a disappointment to see the inaction from so many of these organizations, including the NAACP. Where have they been while all of this mess has been festering & worsening these past few years. I'll believe it when I see it.
