An enthusiastic crowd filled a screening room in a lovely East Greensboro estate Saturday for a screening of “Our Blues Make Us Gold,” the #NCAT doc now streaming on Comcast Xfinity.
If you haven’t seen, go to any of the Xfinity platforms and stream it tonight. It’s a beautiful love letter to A&T.

Higher ed should be outraged.

Welker, the panel and guests talked about spending philosophy, foreign aid - even the, ahem, “Trump doctrine.” 🙄
But they hardly touched on the fact that what this administration is doing to the federal government is ILLEGAL.
Without that as the starting point, we are no longer a nation of laws.

Meet the Press is apparently now where admin officials can go to filibuster, deflect and avoid with no one laying a glove on them.
Welker’s interest seems to be only getting through a set of question, not actually uncovering facts or truth.
That Waltz interview was absolute garbage.

65 years ago, 4 freshmen teens from North Carolina A&T sat down at a whites-only lunch counter and refused to leave.
That launched a sit-in movement led by Southern Black youth. It broke the back of segregation in restaurants and other public services across the South.
