❤️HEARTWARMING—it was past 12am & for 90 min, he crouched down & filled half dozen trash bags. When he finished cleaning up the Capitol rotunda, he cleaned adjacent rooms. Then worked until 3am to certify the election—he had been awake for >36 hours. Who is he? Rep Andy Kim 🙏

Samuel Bass, Ron Berry, Dr. Louis Lynn and Larry Nazry were among the first African-American students at Clemson University. With the help of Clemson, they were able to pay their respects to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. after his assassination.

Wow. Big disconnect here. Kids are not in a daily quarantine away from school. And it's impossible to stop kids from sneezing, coughing and touching things while in school... CDC director says schools can safely reopen without vaccinating teachers cnb.cx/3au6x09

Between 1936 and 1938, the federal government collected the narratives of over 2,300 formerly enslaved people. I tracked down the descendants of people who were interviewed and wrote about what these stories mean to them, and what they mean to our country. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

This piece is part of The Atlantic’s INHERITANCE, an ongoing project committed to collecting, preserving, and unearthing the stories of Black life in America. We’ll have many more stories coming through this series in the days, weeks, and months to come. theatlantic.com/inheritance/

Prayers for the family of the venerable Vernon Jordan. An Atlanta native and grad of David T Howard High School, he was a global inspiration for those who committed to serve and dared to be great. "Vernon Can Read" must be required reading for every ATL kid. Rest well mighty oak!

Thank you Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff for making sure healthcare subsidies were extended.  We need to make them permanent so thousands of Georgians won’t lose their insurance.  We appreciate your help!

Rest in Paradise Maceo. Praying for peace and comfort for Mrs. Brown and the entire Brown Family.
