What an honor it was to premiere our Citizens Revival film last night at the @belcourttheatre.bsky.social! Considering that the screening took place during the Belcourt's centennial year celebration made it even more noteworthy. #Belcourt100

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. Today, and every day, we honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

58 years ago today, Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first Black Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

When President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Justice Marshall, he said it was “the right thing to do, the right time to do it, the right man, and the right place.”

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger?… If it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time or die by suicide."
- Abraham Lincoln

Ashley Monroe would like you to ignore genres in country music and just enjoy the sandwich:

“Take a bite out of it and let it touch you and don’t even worry about it,” the songwriter says on her new @rollingstone.com Nashville Now podcast.

There are words like "Freedom,"
Sweet and wonderful to say.
On my heartstrings freedom sings
All day everyday.

There are words like "Democracy"
That almost make me cry.
If you had known what I knew
You would know why.

- Langston Hughes

On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, it's good to remember that defending our democracy is good trouble.

Democracy doesn’t protect itself. It’s protected by us - and we, the people, must show up.
