Tragic.
Rolling Ray and I talked about him being forced to wait for hours in the cold after being discharged from Georgetown Hospital at 1AM. He could not get home due to a lack of wheelchair transportation (e.g., UberWAV and Metro Bus).
He wanted to work together on transportation justice and inaccessibility and suggested taking the issue to the blogs and media. We were both wheelchair users in the DMV who had been through the same thing.
He was a larger-than-life person with a big personality who cared about improving the conditions for people with disabilities. Rest in Paradise power, Ray! 🕊️👨🏾🦼➡️🕯️

Well, remember all that was French territory. In 1719 French entrepreneur Philippe François Renault hopped in a boat in the South of France, stopped in Haiti to purchase 200-500 humans beings & headed to “Upper Louisiana”
By 1760, 900 ppl were enslaved in “Illinois Country”

When someone like Rolling Ray passes away, not only do I mourn for their life as a Black person but also for the way their likeness will be extracted even in death; the way they are reduced to memes and flattened as performers.
