A voice for the ages. A commitment through her art to the cause of her people. A defining presence.
I have loved Roberta Flack for as long as I can remember. An educator, a towering artist, a proud black woman. She was the music of my youth and pointed the way to a spiritual maturity.

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

The moment at the Carter funeral when President Biden, delivering the eulogy, said, we have an obligation to stand up to what my dad said was "the greatest sin of all," the abuse of power, and stared directly at Trump

Obama has a talent for making the most of any situation and would ensure that President Carter's ceremony receives the respect it deserves, as all eyes would be on him.

Funny how this image "irritated" so many. Clearly you forgotten what Obama was like. You forgotten what a good man he is. How classy he still is, because so many were expecting him to be disrespectful. You know what, I like this Obama best. And that's how I wish to always remember him. 🇺🇸 RIP Jimmy.

Watch how President Obama does a textbook pick and roll for Mrs. Bush. Picks up the defender, allowing her to move freely and shoot her shot without any obstruction.

I can understand Barack Obama's behavior during Jimmy Carter's funeral, but I don't like it...
Do you think that Obama can be excused for not ostracizing Trump?

We were rightfully outraged when Deb Fischer's husband refused to shake Kamala's hand. And he was white.
Imagine the optics and the outrage and the distraction it would have been if Obama refused to talk to Trump at a funeral. Black men gotta move different. They got mad at him for a tan suit.

Today, President Obama was in an no-win situation. If he didn't engage with Trump, he would deemed "the angry Black man". If he was cordial according to the demands of white supremacy, that too would be wrong. Black professionals know these rules. The folks criticizing are telling on themselves.

I'm not mad at President Obama laughing at Donald Trump to appease him...as far as I'm concerned he just took that bullet for the whole country.

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”
For me, nobody epitomizes this quote better than Jimmy Carter.
Rest in peace, good Sir.
May your character, compassion and deeds inspire generations to understand the true meaning of a life well lived.
