HPD officer Ashley Gonzalez relieved of duty after video allegedly shows r*cist language; department investigating

Man can’t believe why he was stopped

My father’s commitment to justice was deeply rooted in his faith. His ministry, his methodology of nonviolence, and his movement work were not separate from what he believed. They were an expression of it. At a time when misinformation about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s faith continues to spread, When Faith Calls offers an important opportunity to go deeper. This upcoming six episode docuseries from The King Center explores how faith helped shape the Civil Rights Movement and how that witness still calls us to courageous, justice centered action today. When faith calls, courage is the answer. Stay tuned for more updates on the premiere and what is ahead. #WhenFaithCalls #CourageIsTheAnswer #MLK #TheKingCenter

Instead of holding real hearings, Oversight Republicans are hosting “roundtables” with no rules, no motions, no subpoenas, and no witnesses under oath. That blocks any move to hold Pam Bondi in contempt. We see what they’re doing and we won’t stop fighting for accountability.

Jackson has so much energy!!! Amazing time hosting an early screening of Michael movie for the good people at Jackson State University! #MichaelMovie #JacksonUniversity #HBCU

Ten years ago, when we lost Prince, thousands of Minnesotans filled the streets singing “Purple Rain.” A hometown star who had a way of bringing us together—and still does.

Michelle Obama to Angel Reese: “You are handling yourself beautifully. It’s not just what you do, it’s the way you carry yourself”❤️

This is the sister of Kendrick Johnson the 17 year old boy that was found dead 13 years ago rolled up in a gym mat at his High School which never made any sense.The sister says they never showed her the body to identify him only his shoe.Someone knows what happened Help!

Houston Police say an officer was relieved of duty after a video surfaced allegedly showing her using racist slurs, even describing using that language during an arrest. If these allegations are true, this officer’s actions would be a betrayal of the badge and a THREAT to justice itself! We are already fighting an uphill battle against bias and wrongdoing within police forces, we don’t need officers who will weaponize hate against the very communities they are sworn to protect! The Houston Police say they are investigating. Justice demands nothing less than a FULL investigation.

Virginia just beat Trump’s rigged game. November ends him. Democrats WILL take back Congress.

White men stole and used a black woman's intellectual talent to build U.S. Navy warships. She trained white engineers who got recognition and more pay.

Had to Gas up the Jet 🛩️ To PERSONALLY see FAMU’s @TheMarching100 who killed the #PullOverChallenge 🤯🤯 BUT which college is NEXT?? Tag them in the comment section! 🥁🏎️💨

ICE is reckless and out of control. A 27-year Army veteran with three tours in Afghanistan — Sgt. 1st Class Jose Serrano — watched ICE agents arrest his wife during a routine immigration appointment, even after they showed military IDs. This cruelty must stop. We will not fund an agency that terrorizes the families of those who served our nation.

I was locked up in the Jim Crow South for raising civil rights issues on my Air Force base — but I refused to let injustice make me bitter. I refused to generalize.

WOW! Tucker Carlson: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.” Because you are an opportunist.

This man was a great inspiration and big brother. We had love and respect for each others work and I was blessed to know him. He encouraged and elevated me as you see here. How you are missed in the flesh but the music and spirit lives on.
