My thoughts 💭 on 7/14/2022 @ 7:45am There’s no telling how many lives she saved via her persistence and sacrifice to RIGHT America’s wrongs. “Brave men do not gather by thousands to torture and murder a single individual, so gagged and bound he cannot make even feeble resistance or defense.” -IBW

Too many people are LOUD and WRONG. Historically, these should not be used interchangeably. There’s too many resources available to learn about the heroic efforts and accomplishments made by “Uncle Tom.” #uncletom #history #legend #historybeforeus

January 24, 1956, Look magazine published the confessions of J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, two men from Mississippi who were acquitted in the 1955 kidnapping and murder of Emmett Till. Milam and Bryant were never brought to justice and both later died of cancer. #history #historybeforeus #emmetttill

Good to see my friend/former co-worker and NFL hall of famer Donnie Shell today. He was a key 🔑 member of the Steel Curtain defense for the #pittsburghsteelers 🏈 in the 70s.

Those who gave their lives for equity during the civil rights movement must never be forgotten, their sacrifices planted the seeds of justice we strive to harvest today. To honor them is not merely to remember but to continue the fight for a world where equality is more than a dream—it is a reality
