I’m proud of it.
I’m Black and beautiful.”

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

“Southwest Memphis has the highest levels of pollution in Shelby County, these things did not happen by chance, it is because this area has a low amount of political clout, and have not had in the past environmental champions.” -- Kathy Robinson, Memphis TN

Qualified immunity shields police from accountability & denies families robbed of loved ones recourse.
It must be abolished.
My bill with @SenMarkey will fully end qualified immunity to ensure justice & accountability for police brutality.

Black History...still.
It’s World History, too.
The world should know about and learn from #BayardRustin.

My father wrote this about “white backlash” 54 yrs ago.
Still powerful, still relevant
Many white people still think Black liberation = loss of freedom for them.
That’s because, for hundreds of years, our bondage = prosperity for America.
The soul of this nation is sick. #MLK https://t.co/FFQzaN0y0q

As February comes to a close, for many so does attention to Black History. EJI believes one month’s exploration of the history of racial inequality in America is insufficient and that this nation must commit to a new era of truth-telling about our past. https://t.co/1Mzk1STu5V
