Today marks the 60th Announcement of the March on Washington on August 28, 1963. We won’t stand for the continued egregious attempts to ban Black history in states across the country! Our children deserve to live in a world where all of their histories are recognized. We will continue to unapologetically defend Black life, liberty, and humanity!
In 1973, The Bronx introduced the world to a new type of soundtrack for social justice. Created by diverse Black voices, hip-hop draws on the stories of the community that have been historically ignored by the mainstream. The genre shines a light on the joy, pain, creativity and ingenuity of the Black community.
93 Year-Old Josephine Wright has been named in a "frivolous" lawsuit where developers in Hilton Head are trying to force her to sell her property to them. When she refused to give up her property, her tires were slashed and trash was thrown on her property!
Josephine should not lose her home!
No More Affirmative Action
The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a major ruling on Affirmative Action today, making it so colleges cannot consider race during the admission process. You can expect to see less diversity in traditionally white universities as well as the potential for decreased funding for HBCU’s who relied on the affirmative action bill.
Alabama Voting Rights
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court is ordering Alabama to redraw their house district lines. Historically, the lines were drawn to put minority voters at a disadvantage. Now, not only will minority voters in Alabama see a more equitable map but hopefully other states with traditionally exclusive maps will follow suit.
Dexter Barry was neglected by the Duval County Jail which lead to his death! He told police upon his MISDEMEANOR arrest, that if he did not take his MEDICATION for his HEART TRANSPLANT, his heart would fail and he would die.

11-Year-Old Mississippi boy shot in the chest by police after he initially called 911 for help. Officer involved currently on paid administrative leave.
At some point we have to give serious consideration to the almost exclusive, horrendously violent actions visited on Black, Indigenous and Brown bodies by the very individuals who we pay to protect and serve us. We need something different.
4 Black Harvard students were held at gunpoint by campus police after responding to a false 911 call even though it was clear the young students posed no threat once the officers made contact!
If these students were white would the police have held them at gunpoint?!
We pray this doesn’t lead to more vigilante like George Zimmerman

America’s security force can and will escalate violence to the point of beating a defenseless woman — over a dispute about cheese.
Instead of allowing the woman to leave — as no crime had been committed — the video shows police escalated to violence instead.
Parts of African American history are banned in Florida & diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is illegal in Texas. This is America.
We need something different.
“In a memo written Monday and obtained by The Texas Tribune, Abbott’s chief of staff Gardner Pate told agency leaders that using diversity, equity and inclusion policies in hiring violates federal and state employment laws, and hiring cannot be based on factors “other than merit.”
Today, Peyton Gendron, the racists who slaughtered blacks at a Buffalo, NY grocery store, received life in prison. This sentence cannot bring the innocent victims back, “justice” has been served.
Let’s remember the families of the victims in our prayers.

These black farmers are being harassed and having white people kill their livestock and try to drive them off their land. Because of all the complaints against them they’ve been arrested. The @naacp has bailed them out, but we must do something to support them as they fight against terrorism and oppression to keep what is rightfully theirs and make a living for their family.
Contact the sheriff @epcsheriff or call 719-520-7100 and demand they be released!
King Walker and Diamond Bynum have been missing for 7 years and the police have made no real efforts to cooperate with the family! This family deserves to know where their loved ones are!

Little Rock police officers killed Terence "Tee" Caffey despite him saying "I Can't Breathe" multiple times. The Chief Medical Examiner ruled this a HOMICIDE. The Prosecutors in Little Rock decided that no officers were liable for Terence's death and decided not to present the evidence to the Grand Jury. Demand that the evidence is presented to the Grand Jury so that the PEOPLE can decide who is responsible for the death of Terence Caffey.
Imagine your mother just passed. Suicidal thoughts can happen to many. Your family calls the police to get YOU help and somehow, a shot is fired and you end up dead.
The family deserves to see police body cam footage so Desman's final moments are clear and proper. Call Chief of Police Todd Justice so the right thing can be done.

Call Milwaukee chief of police, Jeffrey Norman

The family of Jaheim deserve to know the truth. Justice cannot be served if the body cam footage of that night is not released. What we do is 15-year old Jaheim Mcmillian lost his life at the hands of police. What we don't know is the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Imagine being in a car for a nice drive with your girlfriend and a truck tries to run you off the road to kill you. How would you defend yourself? Marc Wilson, pulled out his LEGALLY REGISTERED weapon to defend himself and should not have been sentenced to 10 years for defending himself. Call the GA Attorney General and demand the charges be reduced.
Using rap lyrics that are made FOR ENTERTAINMENT should not be used to prosecute artists in criminal cases. It’s a sad day when prosecutors feel they need to use the lyrics of a song to prove criminal involvement instead of actual evidence!
