On this day in 1963, civil rights leader and organizer #MedgarEvers was assassinated by a white supremacist in the driveway of his home. We remember his legacy and honor his family, including his wife, #MyrlieEversWilliams, who was a dear friend of our founder, #CorettaScottKing. #MartyrsOfTheMovement #MLK #MalcolmX #TheKingCenter

With profound sorrow & deep respect, we honor the life and legacy of Lawrence N. Brooks, who passed away at the remarkable age of 112. As the oldest living ‘American World War II Veteran’ at the time of his passing, represents one of the final living links to this generation.

Yup

I’ve been informed by folks on this site that The Hobbit and now Jane Austen are too difficult for teens. I can’t stress enough how condescending this is to teenagers. You’re taking away all the things that might bring them joy and leaving them with no pastimes but scrolling.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Banger after banger 🔥

Man with the way people are posting you'd think this guy is dead or something, please use some modern pictures too 😭 So glad this absolute powerhouse of a talent is getting honored!

The gag order lifted. And the mask came off with it. After sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf went live on TikTok and was caught on a racist rant about Karmelo Anthony, including calling him a “watermelon felon,” saying Black people get “all the free sh*t we give you,” claiming “400 years ago someone sold you to us,” and attacking Black fathers for not being involved in their children’s lives. This is the same man who stood in that courtroom and said “this was never about race.” The prosecution struck every qualified Black juror from the panel. A gag order silenced public response for nearly a year. And the moment the muzzle came off, this is who he showed us he was. Karmelo Anthony did not get a fair trial. And now the victim’s own father has confirmed in his own words what this community has known from the beginning. 🎥: @SamsonCrouppen

I see a lot of y'all trashing this but just know that a family created this for their daughter and it gained a following and it's being picked up by Disney so let's just appreciate that.

It is almost 100F indoors and climbing. Our generator is out of gas. One 5 gallon refill is about $21. Please help us get through the heat! A bag of ice and some cold food options would help too. Anything helps! CA/Venmo: aliwatson117 PayPal: paypal.me/aliwatson117

I have been weathering growing pain. It’s to the point that sleeping is difficult. Gas funds would be so appreciated. I don’t have a set goal. Just some hope. A few people with a few bucks helps! CA/Venmo: aliwatson117 PayPal: paypal.me/aliwatson117

This picture of Mrs. Myrlie Evers-Williams comforting her son Darrell at his father’s funeral breaks my heart. It is all too similar to photos I have seen of my mother and me at my father’s funeral. The same grief. The same violence. The same racism. The same ache of a child forced to grow up without a father and a wife forced to live without her husband. Sixty-three years ago today, Medgar Evers was assassinated after a life of courageous service for civil rights and voting rights. My prayers are with Mrs. Myrlie Evers-Williams, the Evers family, and all who continue to love and honor him. #MedgarEvers #MyrlieEversWilliams

As we observe Black Music Month, this 1958 Jet cover reflects a part of my mother’s public life that is sometimes overlooked. Her voice and artistry were part of the freedom movement, and music was one of the ways she contributed to the struggle for justice. Her artistry and her activism were never separate. #CorettaScottKing #BlackMusicMonth #JetMagazine #JetBeauty #MLK
