1 year ago, Ralph Yarl was shot in the head after he rang the wrong doorbell in Kansas City, Missouri. Although this young man was involved in a severely traumatic experience, he won't let it define him — he plans to study engineering at a university next fall. 🙏🏿

In 1957, Black entrepreneur Silas White bought land in Santa Monica in hopes of creating the Ebony Beach Club — a place where the Black community could socialize. 1 yr later, the city snatched his dream away by taking his property through eminent domain! Now his family is…

Sadly, discrimination continues to pervade the home-buying process in America! Redfin — a Seattle real estate company — found through a survey that 32% of Black, 36% of Hispanic, and 20% of Asian buyers all experience significant discrimination in their quest to find a home.…

24 Black deaf students from Gallaudet University finally graduated after being denied their diplomas over 70 years ago! Although this is a reminder of the racial prejudice these students faced years ago, it’s beautiful to see them finally get the recognition they deserve!

It’s 2023, and I’m shocked we even have to say this… slavery did NOT BENEFIT Black people. This country was built on our backs — America benefitted from Black people. ✊🏾 📷: IG/valeisha

On this day 1 year ago, Brianna Grier died from a fatal brain injury 6 days after falling out of a moving police vehicle. Brianna was a mother to twin girls who now have to grow up without their wonderful mom. Rest In Power, Brianna 🙏🏾

Slavery was pure and unadulterated evil. There is no "other side to the story."

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's behavior on the Supreme Court is far from normal. She’s crafting her dissents more for public consumption than for building legal precedents. She is using her platform for political grandstanding. In a court of law, the rule of law should always be…

My team didn’t want me to post my resume, but this is a job application after all! We need fresh experience to perform a system overhaul in Washington to better serve the people, not special interests.

Less than 1% of pilots are women of color! Theresa Claiborne was the first Black woman to become a pilot in the Air Force — today she’s an inspiration for young girls around the country! Let’s support our young ladies to get their wings and become the next generation of pilots!

I have also removed my @Tamu Texas A&M Ring of Honor award from my #RolandMartinUnfiltered @BlkStarNetwork set. The actions of the Board of Regents prove they do not respect Black journalists and Black graduates. Enough is enough! 4/4

It’s clear that Texas A&M @tamu loves DEI on Saturday afternoons. They don’t mind Black athletes making them millions, but a Black A&M graduate isn’t worthy of being respected. What they done to Kathleen McIlroy is beyond disrespectful. It’s degrading and despicable. 3/4

Enough is enough. As a Black Texas A&M journalism graduate, I am appalled by what the @tamu Board of Regents has done. Texas A&M recruited a UT professor to revive its journalism program, then backtracked after “DEI hysteria” texastribune.org/2023/07/11/tex… via @TexasTribune 2/4

ATTENTION ALL BLACK HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES: DO NOT sign with Texas A&M University @tamu unless they apologize and reinstate their offer to graduate Kathleen McIlroy. I’m also calling on Education @SecCardona to launch a civil rights investigation into the university. 1/4
