D’Ettrick Griffin (2019)
Jimmy Atchison (2019)
Edward Barnett III (2020)
Rayshard Brooks (2020)

Research and let’s talk

Voter Suppression is real. That is it, that is the post.

Looking forward to this event and the needed conversation.

It’s not exactly how that works. See all of the executive orders that have been overturned by federal courts.

Working on something. Stay tuned…

Quick reminder… American elections cannot be legally suspended or canceled by the President, even during wartime. The U.S. Constitution and federal law require elections to occur on set dates, a precedent maintained through the Civil War and both World Wars.

Only Congress has that power.

We brought #BlackHistoryMonth to a powerful close in #SandySprings with a celebration on the past, present and future of Black Excellence and History. #justicefighter

Today is the 400th day since Target ended its DEI policies, how many of you still aren’t shopping at Target, raise your hand ✋🏾

We returned to Brunswick for a black history presentation on recent Georgia history. We will never forget and never stop running for #AhmaudArbery. The story of how Georgia pulled together to fight back against injustice must be told to the next generation. #BlackHistoryMonth

Inspiring Lessons from the Life of Jesse Louis Jackson My Friend and Mentor Jesse Louis Jackson was never just a public figure to me. He was a beacon of hope, a relentless advocate for justice, and a personal guide whose presence shaped my life in ways I am still discovering....

When I think about Jesse Louis Jackson, I think about more than history. I think about the charge he left with all of us — to be courageous, to pursue justice relentlessly, to build community, and to never stop growing.

Federal Flags should be at half staff for the loss of a Civil Rights Hero.

The SAVE ACT will make it harder to vote.

That is it, that’s the message. It’s not about photo ID.

Just leaving this message here, we in Georgia know a little about Voter Suppression see the Ban on passing out Food at the Polls. 🤷🏾

Standing in solidarity with Don Lemon. As a Civil Rights Attorney, his charges should be dismissed as he was simply covering the protest.

I am glad to hear that he is pleading not guilty and hopefully the charges will be dismissed.

Breaking:

Fulton County just announced it has filed a motion "seeking the return of all files from the 2020 Election that were confiscated by the FBI" last week.

“It is an honor to address the next generation of leaders during Black History Month at Clark Atlanta University.”

Don Lemon has been released.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen an attack on the 1st Amendment, the 2nd Amendment and the 4th Amendment.

Free Don Lemon and Georgia Fort

Launch an independent investigation into the shooting of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

This is not normal.

Keep speaking truth to power and calling out injustice.

It’s on video and here is a freeze frame.
