Brother Wendell no lies detected! ✊🏿 I’m in NY but I spent many youthful summers in Jeanerette, LA & some don’t believe me that the local movie theater was still segregated as late as 1971 (I was 8). I ❤️ & salute the work our warrior brother @GaryChambersJr continues to do.🫡 👊🏿

Charles Barkley was better than many
Kevin Garnett reflects on the rapid evolution of the NBA. When he first entered the league as a young prospect, he found himself matching up against established legends like Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon. Before long, a shifting of the guard occurred as a new wave of hungry talent emerged to challenge him directly players like Chris Bosh, Rasheed Wallace, Lamar Odom, and Amar'e Stoudemire. This incoming generation arrived eager to make a name for themselves, build their own legacies, and take his spot at the top."

This is just beautifully done. A wonderful tribute to a singular character in our world of sports.
"I know exactly who he was, I know what his gift could do, and I know that we were all just a little happier, a little better off, for getting to hear the song...for as long as we did." @adamamin gives a touching tribute to his late partner, Stacey King ❤️

Rest in peace Dale Brown. I spoke to Coach Brown earlier this year for an article I was working on. I left a message. He called back and when I answered the phone he broke into "Paul, Paul, he's our man. If he can't do it no one can!" He was full of life and great stories.

Due to unforeseen production challenges in our two outdoor venues and the size of venue in Nola, my Raleigh and New Orleans dates will no longer take place right now. 💔 I’m extremely sorry to everyone who made plans to be there, and I was sooo ready to come see you!! Im really really sorry Charlotte, I’m still coming to you! I’m moving to an indoor venue that can accommodate the production of my show. The new date is November 5 at Ovens Auditorium and all previously purchased tickets will be either transferred to apply to this new date, or they can be refunded.. Raleigh… IF you are open to travel to Charlotte for the show, I have made it so that I will honor your tickets with 50% off to take care of any extra travel costs incurred 🙏🏾 I’m still so excited to bring the Frequency Of Love Tour to life, and I can’t wait to share this show with you🤍🤍🤍 Houston, I’ll see you so soon for opening night!!!

The Congressional Black Caucus called the raid of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home a “sham” and an attempt to “manufacture an appearance of wrongdoing on the eve of the midterm elections, without any apparent legal basis”

From FAMU to MIT, Dr. Mareena Robinson Snowden made history as MIT’s first Black woman to earn a nuclear engineering PhD. At Black Girls Rock! in 2018, she encouraged young girls to pursue science one step at a time. Thoughts 💭 ⁉️

Trump has declared it’s now illegal for banks to help Black people buy homes. And to make it worse, he brought out his only Black cabinet member to make the announcement.
