There’s no telling how many lives she saved via her persistence and sacrifice to RIGHT America’s wrongs.

Happy National Barn Day 😀
In a world that often feels heavy with hardship and uncertainty, it seems more important than ever to find joy in the little things.

Too many people are LOUD and WRONG.
Historically, these should not be used interchangeably.
There’s too many resources available to learn about the heroic efforts and accomplishments made by “Uncle Tom.”

January 24, 1956, Look magazine published the confessions of J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, two men from Mississippi who were acquitted in the 1955 kidnapping and murder of Emmett Till.
Milam and Bryant were never brought to justice and both later died of cancer.

A big thank you to the @fairfieldfoundation for hosting the documentary “Silenced Voices” on #mlkjrday . We greatly appreciate the opportunity to be the voice of the once voiceless, enslaved humans held in bondage at the Pharsalia Plantation.

Good to see my friend/former co-worker and NFL hall of famer Donnie Shell today. He was a key 🔑 member of the Steel Curtain defense for the #pittsburghsteelers 🏈 in the 70s.

Those who gave their lives for equity during the civil rights movement must never be forgotten, their sacrifices planted the seeds of justice we strive to harvest today. To honor them is not merely to remember but to continue the fight for a world where equality is more than a dream—it is a reality
