I, too, sing America... Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then. Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— I, too, am America. ~Langston Hughes

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides, 
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

Maybe it's easier to call for civility when your people haven't been to the concentration camp, the reservation, bowels of the slave ship or plantation? If they have and you're still calling for civility, shame on you and honor to your ancestors.

YOU DON’T THANK THE KIDNAPPER FOR RELEASING THE HOSTAGES

Thank you @POTUS for taking critical action ending family separation at our border. Congress must now act + find a lasting solution that is consistent with our shared values;the same values that so many come here seeking as they endeavor to create a better life for their families

But my emails.

IG found that on numerous occasions, COMEY used a personal GMail account to conduct official FBI business, according to source briefed on the report.



I know the lyrics are not...kid friendly, but my kid singing Despacito in full voice is pretty much my favorite thing.

Bishop @pb_curry sermon from the Royal Wedding: “There’s power in love. Don’t underestimate it. Don’t even oversentimentalise it. There’s power – power in love. . . There’s power in love to lift up and liberate when nothing else will.” #proudepiscopalian

HELPFUL TIP: When a black woman says "...cause we can do this, if that’s what you want to do." you do not want to do this.

If some in the press were as hemmed up by this @WhiteHouse’s open embrace of white supremacy, misogyny, mass incarceration, environmental pollution, corporate corruption, and defecation on the First Amendment as they are about what a comedian said, we might be getting somewhere.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: @kendricklamar is the truth. #futureofthegame

This is how systemic racism hurts generations of American families. Congress should be doing more, not less, to make sure families have a fair shot at success.

These government maps documented racist lending practices that gave rise to today’s segregated neighborhoods. New @NCRC research shows how redlining 80 years ago are still hurting minorities today. washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…

My advice to Black girls everywhere: whenever you find yourself in a room where there aren't a lot of people who look like you — be it a classroom, or a boardroom, or a courtroom — remember that you have an entire community in that room with you, all of us cheering you on.
