#OTD in 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia that laws banning interracial marriage were unconstitutional. That was in my lifetime. Richard and Mildred Loving's courage expanded freedom for millions. We must never take that victory for granted.

#OTD in 1963, Medgar Evers was shot and killed in his driveway in Jackson, Mississippi, returning home from an NAACP meeting carrying t-shirts that read "Jim Crow Must Go."
His wife and children found him at the door. I know what it means to lose your father to the violence he was fighting against. I know that loss never leaves you. Medgar's legacy endures because he refused to stop, and because his family carried his work forward. We honor him by doing the same.

Students engaged in service see a 29% increase in academic achievement and engagement. Service doesn't just build community. It builds futures. Dad's dream took just 16 minutes to ignite a movement. Start with your 16 minutes today. #100FOR100 realizethedream.org

#OTD in 1963, Gov. George Wallace tried to stop Vivian Malone and James A. Hood from registering at the University of Alabama. The National Guard had to be called to open the door.
63 years later, the doors have changed, but the obstruction hasn't. Voter purges, redrawn maps, restricted access. The fight to block Black Americans from full participation in democracy never stopped. Every barrier they build, we will walk through.

For over 150 years, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed that every child born here belongs here. The Beloved Community means extending dignity and a sense of belonging to every child born on our soil. With Latino families facing the greatest impact, this fight demands solidarity.

#OTD in 1963, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law to end sex-based wage discrimination. Yet 63 years later, women still earn just 81 cents on the dollar. For Black women, it's 68 cents. The promise of equal pay remains unfulfilled. It's time to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.

@melindagates spent years under pressure to meet impossible expectations, then chose to stop performing and start living. The moment women stop performing for approval is the moment you start living fully.

#OTD in 1948 my dad graduated from @Morehouse, a milestone that helped set the foundation for his leadership in the civil rights movement. His time there grounded him in purpose, discipline, and a lifelong commitment to justice.
To this year’s graduates, may you leave with that same commitment to build, lead, and serve.

We are guided by a simple but powerful idea. A society rooted in justice must also be rooted in care for one another. Justice grows when people show up for one another.

#OTD in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802 to open national defense and federal jobs to all Americans, regardless of race. This executive action was a critical step in civil rights history, helping break barriers in defense and government hiring and affirming that race could not legally determine access to opportunity.

The Beloved Community calls us to care for each other and for the world we share. On World Environment Day, let’s fight for a planet where clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment are not privileges.

We cannot fight discrimination if we refuse to see it. For decades, EEOC data has helped hold workplaces accountable. Losing that visibility makes discrimination harder to prove and easier to deny.
