I support Dr. Blasey Ford’s request for an FBI background investigation before a hearing. She should not be bullied into participating in a biased process and we should not rush forward before facts are gathered.

To our extended family and friends, it is with sorrow that we inform you that our loved one, Ntozake Shange, passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning of October 27, 2018. Memorial information / details will follow at a later date. The family of Ntozake Shange

Black people in #NewYork now have the right to wear their natural hair at work! The guidelines protect people who are treated unfairly because of their hair. The city commission can levy penalties up to $250k w/ no cap on damages. nytimes.com/2019/02/18/sty…

We’re not our hair AND our hair is a big part of us. We have every right to wear our hair in ways that best express our style, mood & culture. NYC Human Rights made it clear that discriminating against Black people’s hair will not be tolerated #YourHairYourRightNYC bit.ly/cchr-hair-guid…

Detroit agreed to pay $8.25M to the family of a 7-year-old girl who was killed during a police raid in 2010. Aiyana Stanley-Jones was sleeping on the couch when a police officer shot her in the head. Charges against the officer were dismissed.
