Rep. John Lewis has passed. It is not enough to say he was a revered civil rights icon. He was a man of impeccable integrity who dedicated his life to fighting against racism, discrimination & injustice. John was a true leader who inspired us all to have the courage to fight.

Thank you for fighting the #goodfight to the end John Lewis #goodtrouble alongside so many other courageous leaders #CTVivian #hoseawilliams

EXCITED: Last year I became a contributor to Encyclopaedia Britannica My first entry — about #juneteenth — is now live on the homepage. This feels like a full-circle moment because encyclopedias were so important to me as a child. britannica.com/story/a-teen-g…

#Juneteenth commemorates the day news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached enslaved Black people in Texas on June 19, 1865, effectively ending slavery in the U.S.   May we reflect on all of the progress we have made and recommit ourselves to the work ahead.

Congratulations Coco Gauff So proud of you!
