53 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law by President Johnson. I shed a little blood on that bridge in Selma and friends of mine gave their lives so that no person would be denied their right to vote. Now do your part—get registered, and vote. #goodtrouble

#HappyBirthday to the Queen Maxine Waters 🎂🎈🕯️Thank you for being a champion in this movement and for teaching us all to reclaim our time.

There’s one more spot for you at the #MWUL Candidate Forum at the Delaware Contemporary on Saturday August 25th. Will you be there? #inwilm facebook.com/events/2676163…

Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.

Rest well, Aretha 👑

The world has lost another noble giant. #KofiAnnan’s legacy of #peace + possibility will live on for generations. May he rest in power 🙏🏾.

In the classic rap lyrics of 50cent "When the feds come in the game loyalty is limited" I am still struggling to wrap my head around all of this. But either way, we must continue to stay focused on the mid term elections and voter turn out! #Elections2018

Tomorrow is the day we’ve all been waiting for!

The debate forum is running live from Facebook! Stay tuned for thread here on Twitter!
