Three years. Today marks three years since 46-year-old George Floyd called out for his momma as a Minneapolis police officer brutally snuffed out his life. So, what actually happened with all the promises made after his murder? https://wordinblack.com/ra...

Love this article! There is such a unique Black culture in LA that OF COURSE it shows up in the food.
Omar Little @OmarLittleMy Hot Take: LA Soul Food. This is a good read on some history of the Soul Food scene in LA. I'll defer to my LA folks to confirm or deny. Some of these will be on my to try list next time I'm in the area.02:12 PM - May 21, 2023

Malcolm X would have been 98 today. Denise Rolark Barnes, publisher of the Washington Informer reminds us today is about celebration and action. She talked to 85-year-old A. Peter Bailey, who knew Malcolm, was one of his pallbearers, and wrote 3 books about him. https://bit.ly/malcolmxday...

Since the Daily Mail bought the pics of Harry and Meghan, then they’ll know who the paparazzi were, and they should be made to turn their names over to NYPD asap. This is absolutely horrific. These folks won't stop til Meghan is dead. #SussexSquad

If you didn't already know America is sick to the core with racism, you'd know it today because some people are actually relieved the shooter in Atlanta is Black because, to them, that proves guns aren't the problem... SMH. In these folks' eyes, Blackness is ALWAYS the problem.

"The income and racial inequality gap is the largest it has been in 50 years," says Fred Redmond of the #AFLCIO . More rights for workers "isn’t just a labor issue. It’s a social and racial justice issue." https://wordinblack.com/20... #internationalworkersday

All I Really Want Is to Hear Prince Sing Live Again | by Liz Courquet-Lesaulnier | Apr, 2023 | Medium
April 21, 2023, marks seven years since Prince died. I still haven’t come to terms with the loss or the way he died alone. And what I wrote back in 2016 when his death was a fresh wound still rings…

It's crazy to think it's been seven years since Prince died. I'm still not over it. This pic is the last time I saw him live. 2012 at an outdoor concert at Jimmy Kimmel. Gone too soon.

I love Zinn Education Project for this: Engaging students — by asking them why climate change is happening and who it's happening to — makes it a social issue. Not just science. https://wordinblack.com/20...

In December 2020, The Proud Boys desecrated several historic Black churches in Washington, D.C.
Now, a historic Black church is hoping its $22 million lawsuit against the far-right street gang will neutralize them for good

Anyone else watch BMF? I caught an episode of it last night (my son was watching it) and I just kept saying to him, "No one used the n-word this much in the '80s."
HIM: How do you know???
ME: BECAUSE I WAS ALIVE THEN.
