With Trump carrying out a coordinated assault on our shared history, it’s imperative that we support our local museums. TY to the @MAAHMuseum & our local leaders for their partnership in telling this hostile, anti-Black White House: hands off our museums & hands off our history.

Massachusetts’ Museum of African American History learned a three-year federal grant was terminated. Its leader worries their work is at risk after President Donald Trump issued an executive order targeting the Smithsonian last month. wgbh.org/news/politics/2025-… @GBHNews @MAAHMuseum

An ambassador of his community was his goal as a teen, & with his Bivfam Foundation, he has sent many high school graduates off to college, and he has also been a staple for the Seniors in the city. His mantra is just a kid from Roxbury, who never forgot where he came from #02119
