Today marks the 99th anniversary of the #TulsaMassacre. 400+ years of severe trauma. washingtonpost.com/history/2020/0…
We keep rising, only to be met with more trauma inflicted by the nation built by traumatizing us. It’s hard to see a nonviolent way, but it is there, focused on what can be when history is faced, when true peace (which includes justice) is the goal...
...and when we rise up with determination that we will no longer be destroyed, not even by self-destruction. Rest in power to our people who died by racist massacre.

🧵Today, we commemorate #Juneteenth, a day that acknowledges the emancipation of the last enslaved Black people in the United States. This day, also known as #FreedomDay, represents a pivotal moment in our nation's history— Image
a step towards justice, equality, and the recognition of our shared humanity.

As we celebrate this historic day, let us remember the words of my father:

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” #MartinLutherKingJr Image
Juneteenth is not only a day to reflect on the past but also a time to renew our commitment to fighting for justice and equality. Let us use this day to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and take actions that contribute to a more just and inclusive society. Image

🧵 On his 95th birthday, I wanted to share some color photos of Daddy. It wasn’t that long ago… #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK Image
“We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK Image
“Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.” #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK Image

Why isn’t THIS being covered by all national news outlets?

“215 bodies found in unmarked graves behind Mississippi jail”

@ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews @FoxNews @CNN @NewsHour @Reuters @AP @cspan fox26houston.com/video/1391574

“The gravesite is intended for people who have no known family, but according to relatives, they were never contacted by officials.”
