.@POTUS 's historic nomination of Adm. Lisa Franchetti as Chief of Naval Operations, making her the 1st woman to hold that post if confirmed, builds on our diversity and strength, as does her wealth of experience, skill, and knowledge. Diversity is our greatest strength.

I will remember Tony Bennett joining the March from Selma to Montgomery for Voting Rights in 1965. He performed, under the threat of violence, for those fighting for their rights. Harry Belafonte asked him to join the movement. We lost both of these icons months apart. God Bless

To suggest that enslaved people somehow benefited from slavery is not only misleading, it is false. This is revisionist history.
