    Selma, Lord, Selma. It’s no coincidence that Selma, where blood was shed in the struggle for voting rights for Black people, pushed ahead for good.

    My God. Jimmie Lee Jackson. Viola Liuzzo. James Reeb. I believe they look down on Alabama today and smile.

    Selma put Jones ahead. Somewhere Hosea Williams is smiling -- and Jimmie Lee Jackson just said, "Amen."

    Dear Alabama, Remember the best of yourselves. You've done it before. Selma marches. Montgomery bus boycott. Birmingham bombing activists. Tuskegee airmen fighting for this country. Rise again. Polls open until 7pm. For complaints or questions: 866-OUR-VOTE.

    While everyone is tweeting about Keaton, I just want to remind y'all that Ashawnty Davis & Rosalie Avila just committed suicide bc of bullying. The Keaton drama/scam is crazy but let's continue to stand against bullying.

    His work brought national attention to the murder of Emmett Till, which became one of the flashpoints for the civil rights movement. Mr. Booker’s article in JET Magazine included an open-casket picture of the boy that shocked the nation. Rest in power, sir. And thank you.

    Simeon Booker, a trail-blazing African-American journalist and first full-time black reporter at The Washington Post, dies at age of 99.

    There was an explosion in Port Authority in NYC this morning and what does tweet about? Whining about The New York Times. The man is pathetic.

    "Do. Or do not. There is no try." Bravo, . You did that! The last 40 minutes had me on the edge of my seat in every moment. Superb storytelling. Exceptional design. I laughed. I cheered. A total joy-ride through the galaxy. So fun.

    Amen. Incredibly special in that way. And in so many others.

    : The Last Jedi is so beautifully human, populist, funny, and surprising. I cried when one POC heroine got her moment because films like these leave their mark on entire generations -- and representation matters

    In the future, we will celebrate the opening of a museum dedicated to the new heroes who fought against your dismantling of what these civil rights heroes achieved.

    It was my great honor to celebrate the opening of two extraordinary museums-the Mississippi State History Museum & the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. We pay solemn tribute to our heroes of the past & dedicate ourselves to building a future of freedom, equality, justice & peace.

    I love Alabama. It's my father's home state. My sisters and brother live there today. I made a film about its beloved city, Selma. If you live there and love it too, please watch this. Then, vote for decency and justice. Vote .
