The speech sparked pushback. Then came the threats. But make no mistake—Tougaloo is unshaken.

We stand with our graduates.
We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
We stand in our truth. Unapologetically. blackwithnochaser.com/rep-jasmine-...

She reminded graduates that Tougaloo is sacred ground. That power lives in truth-telling. That resistance lives in Black joy, in scholarship, in speaking out—just like she did.

Congresswoman Crockett’s speech honored this legacy:

“In 2025, sitting in these very classrooms is just as much of a protest as Anne and Memphis pulling up to Woolworth’s in 1963.”

Founded in 1869 to educate formerly enslaved people, Tougaloo students helped shape the Civil Rights Movement. They organized sit-ins. Hosted MLK Jr. Marched for freedom. Risked everything.

And we’re still standing. blackwithnochaser.com/rep-jasmine-...

Tougaloo College confirmed it received threatening calls after the ceremony. The administration has now involved law enforcement and reinforced safety protocols.
But if you know Tougaloo (my Alma mater)—you know threats aren’t new to us. blackwithnochaser.com/rep-jasmine-...

4/ Travis didn’t just shine; he dominated. He became the first player EVER to win the Camp, Maxwell, Bednarik, and Biletnikoff Awards in the same season. That’s right—offense, defense, and overall excellence.
