Yolanda Renee King, the only grandchild of Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King, is interviewed by a Spanish-speaking reporter about her grandfather’s legacy. Wish I had the translation. Spanish speakers, enjoy! (I can only make out a few words 🤦🏽‍♀️)

THIS is my newest mentee, @Jaden_Reports. We met at last week's #NABJ25 convention in Cleveland. I am SO proud of him and the impactful work he's already doing. #journalism #mediadiversity
I posed a question to NABJ panelists @Yamiche, @EugeneDaniels2, and @bymichaeljones — take a look. ⬇️

Just caught up Absolute Batman. What an awesome reinvention of the character. Wild how a Bruce Wayne who doesn’t come from means flips the narrative on its head

For generations, Gullah Geechee families on St. Helena Island buried loved ones in the Big House Cemetery. For a year, private landowners have blocked them visiting and burying their loved ones in the cemetery. Now, the residents are suing. NEW: capitalbnews.org/gullah-geec…

I mourn with the family of Tyre Nichols. I am praying for all who loved Tyre before his name was hash-tagged. Today’s unjust, nonsensical acquittal is a searing indictment of a system that was built to dehumanize Black people. And for so many, the acquittal echos the trauma of knowing/seeing how officers from the Memphis Police Department brutally ended Tyre’s life. We are not a forgotten people. We are not a cursed people. We will overcome evil. It is among us and within us to confront injustice and to, as my father said, “organize our strength into compelling power so that the government cannot elude our demands.” I call on the @TheJusticeDept and Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti (@AGTennessee) to work toward justice, which includes accountability and change. #TyreNichols #TyresLifeMatters
