So I edited this story. And I wanna share on thought on language, & telling the truth We talked about: the "government is lying to you" It may sound saucy. It may sound like opinion But it's just true And if something is true then you should just say it, clearly That's just good journalism

#ResistanceRoots Archibald Motley was born on this day in 1891 in New Orleans. He was a visual artist, modernist painter and a giant of the Chicago Black Renaissance. His diverse body of work carries a common theme: forcing the world to view people of color with dignity, nuance and respect. /1
Archibald Motley Jr. in 1929. Motley was a trailblazing visual storyteller who revolutionized how the global Black diaspora is represented in fine art. He mastered European classical techniques to uplift Black bodies, and helped the world “hear” jazz on canvas. He refused contentment and stood for uncompromising visibility. Whether documenting the working class of Chicago’s Bronzeville, the marginalized communities of Mexico or the harrowing racial traumas of the Civil Rights Movement, Motley’s brush always fought for human empathy. He rejected abstract art — even when it cost him his financial stability — because he refused to abandon his mission to celebrate the Black body. Today, Motley is recognized not just as a regional chronicler, but as an architect of 20th-century American modernism. His work continues to influence generations of contemporary artists.
