Help: Is anyone going to Sioux City, Iowa, this weekend? If so, would you be willing to drop off some newspapers there? I really want the Sioux City NAACP to have the papers before their Coretta Scott King “Her Story and Songs” concert on Tuesday. Please let me know. Thanks! #iowa #siouxcityia

This is just a sampling of some of the awesome public libraries Black Iowa News delivers to. #Iowa

Iowa has beautiful public libraries. Iowa HSB636 looking to ban partnerships between schools and libraries is counterintuitive and counterproductive if education is indeed the goal. I love delivering the free Black Iowa Newspaper to libraries across the state. Support public libraries. ❤️ #libraries

I’m up in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, for my sister’s birthday. Woke up to sirens. A state rep. and her husband were killed there. A senator and his wife were shot in nearby. The shooter, a white male, reportedly wore a police uniform, shot at police, had a manifesto. We’re under a shelter in place.

How you know you’re an adult: It’s XMAS Day. Almost 2 p.m. We’re still sitting around… talking about the incoming regime, DEI, immigration and the price of eggs. Haven’t opened any gifts yet because it took all of our strength to wrap them last night 🤣 so we gotta make it last a little longer. LOL.

We need to talk. Join us at noon, Wednesday, Dec. 11, via Zoom for Black Iowa News' Weekly Virtual Statewide Call. 2025 is likely to be especially trying in this anti-DEI and racist era. Let's strengthen our connections and discuss our feelings, needs and hopes. #Iowa #insideblackiowa #blacknews
