So proud of my niece, Judge Doris Pryor, a Hope native & UCA grad. The Senate confirmed her today to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit by a vote of 60-31. Pres Biden nominated her as the 1st woman of color in Indiana to the 7th Circuit in May. bit.ly/39VzMfB

LRNightMarket brought droves of revelers to the city’s River Market & CALS’s Liberty Square this weekend. Most electric, diverse event in City of Little Rock and local media is a no-show. . See Black Consumer News of Arkansas story here: bit.ly/39cIdmT

Check out my recent story on Envirotech $80 million project in Osceola. The company's financial statements leave a lot of questions about how an unregulated over-the-counter startup is going to build, finance and run a state-of-the-art electric vehicle manufacturing facility.

A 95-year old Black World War II vet, who once had to pay a poll tax to vote, was twice denied an absentee ballot under Texas new 'voter ID' laws. He now must reregister after never missing a vote in 74 years. This should never happen in America. Never! bit.ly/3HcfRFe

Hopefully, the new executive director at ARORA will turn around the failing culture at ARORA. Too many Black lives at stake. dailyrecord.us/arora-hires-ne…

This is a crime. Arkansas' ARORA has the highest rate of Black patients dying on the state's organ donor waiting list. Yet ARORA execs continue to publicly tout that ARORA saves lives while doing nothing about these racial inequities. Very sad. bit.ly/3Bt68az

'I’m trying desperately to avoid being a dying patient.”

Black patients are three times as likely as white patients to have kidney failure, yet these patients are less likely to be identified as transplant recipients.

Organ failure Pt. 3. Out today. bit.ly/3oo0e54

Z-A-I-Y-A. 14-year-old teenager Zaiya Avant-garde of New Orleans is the first Black American to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Avant-garde, which means original and innovative, won the contest when she correctly spelled “Murraya.” See story here: bit.ly/36wC6ER

Excited to see Arkansas State Track & Field/Cross Country's Bennett Coscoe make 3K steeplechase finals NCAA Track & Field. Reminds me of when legend @Astate Coach Guy Kochel made me run the 7-1/2 lap event as a fresh. Fell in water pit every lap & face flat on last hurdle; rather run marathon.😂Go Red Wolves!

Glad we'll soon end the debate that NFL players are world's fastest athletes when @SeattleSeahawks DeKaylin Metcalf runs in @USATF Golden Games tomorrow. He'll find out in 10 secs that a quick-finger 4.3 football 40-yd time is not equal to top-end 100-meter track speed.
