"You’re looking at four to five times the risk of eviction for a Black renter relative to a white renter. “Black renters with household incomes of over $80,000 a year are still at greater risk of eviction than a white household that’s making $20,000 a year. atlanta.capitalbnews.org/metro-atlant...

He was a minister, a soldier in the United States Army, a chaplain, and the president of Alcorn State University. But perhaps what he's most known for is that he was the first Black person to serve in any house of Congress. Senator to Mississippi Hiram Revels was born 199yrs ago today

Mamie "Peanut" Johnson was a really good baseball player. So at 17, she tried out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She was rejected. Because... Black. But she'd go on to be the second woman in the Negro League, and first & only pitcher. She was born 91yrs ago today

the lawyers’ argument is ridiculous, much like the false claim that slavery was “beneficial”. Black ppl’s reclamation of a slur isn’t permission for others to use it. they’re trying to redefine domination as neutrality or benevolence where racial harassment becomes merely “a word” or even a greeting

Tesla’s 'hardcore lawyers' went a little too hardcore
On day one of Tesla's racism trial, a witness said a Tesla lawyer misled him, and Tesla's counsel called the N-word a 'term of endearment.'
