As we mourn the death of Atlantan #VernonJordan, I am remembering his multi-faceted leadership for civil rights and his work with my mother on various issues. My heart goes out to his family.

PLEASE wear your masks, Texans. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/vlHeuiNPmh
BREAKING: Texas is lifting its mask mandate, making it the largest state to end an order intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Gov. Greg Abbott has faced sharp criticism from his party over the mandate, imposed eight months ago. https://t.co/WHPLWzf9jF

Then. Now. Still.
A religion named after a Love-centered purveyor of justice and peace is often used to perpetuate dehumanizing, devastating racism, nationalism, and white supremacy.
There’s no hate “in the name of Jesus.” https://t.co/ao8d7xAjTC

There are currently 253 bills introduced in 43 states designed to suppress voting. In #BrnovichvDNC, #SCOTUS should affirm there’s no place for racism in our elections. #ProtectOurVote https://t.co/B2hpc8cZ7o
Today, #SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, a case challenging two Arizona policies as racially discriminatory under Section 2 of the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. https://t.co/NqtNDldzSz

There are those who say they want unity and peace, but they don’t want justice and equity.
That’s fake unity and false peace.
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” #MLK

Let’s not view this horror through arrogant, colonized minds.
There are grave injustices across the world, and certainly in the United States, that stem from the same root issues that my father called the Triple Evils: Racism, Militarism, and Poverty. https://t.co/0dQIMKZwNJ

Christ is not American.
The Church that Christ heads is global.
Our neighbors are all of humanity.
The U.S. National Anthem is not a song unto the Lord.
The U.S. flag is not the banner for the Kingdom of God.
