Meet The @SpelmanCollege 7: Alyssa Richardson, Sophia Davis, Alexis Sims, Mariama Diallo, Cori’Anna White, Aiyana Ringo & Nia-Sarai Perry all had 4.0 GPA's & are now all valedictorians. Check out the video & read their record-breaking story. @ajc @itsuatl instagram.com/erniesuggs/

@TurtleProps @FDSportsbook We all got hurt in college

I think if I had 100 tries, I possibly could. Before I got injured in college, I was facing 87-96mph with some pretty good movement, off speed, etc. I wouldn’t say it’s a walk in the park, but i think after 20 pitches, I could be down with timing and have 80 left to do something! 💪

Would you rather... A. Be given $50,000 right now B. Have 100 pitches to hit a HR off of Paul Skenes for $100 million

My latest on the anniversary of the passing of #Prince. Today, 10 years after the death of Prince, the memory that stays with me is not from the day he died but from his concert a week earlier at the Fox Theatre. I was there. @ajc @itsuatl uatl.com/entertainment/…

My latest on the lasting legacy of C.T. Vivian & his Foundation's Kaleidoscope Awards for Literary Excellence, a celebration of writers of the Black experience. This year's honorees include @pcleage, @trymainelee and @Isabelwilkerson @ajc @itsuatl uatl.com/politics/2026/…

@corenmhr @MikeBellATL @AtlantaDream Why am I getting strays?

@MikeBellATL @AtlantaDream Yes. I can't wait for the 11th fastest growing sport to dominate UATL (AJC's segregated black newspaper's) headlines. @erniesuggs is already concocting the narrative...

I know jack squat about the WNBA but the @AtlantaDream landing Angel Reese for future picks seems like a helluva deal.

HAPPY #404DAY Check out the AJC and UATL's new series, 404WARD. We kick the series off with COMMUNITY and my latest on Hills4ATL, Alvin AB Bailey's wonderful fitness and bonding program. @ajc @itsuatl #hills4atl uatl.com/404ward/2026/0…

@YankeeReport_ 19

How many wins do you see in this 25-game stretch?

@OleTimeHardball Middle because Trout ruins top

One row of Outfielders for the entirety of the careers Top, middle, or bottom row?

MY LATEST ON THE GREAT MAN. Before he became a globally recognized thinker who identified the “color line” as America’s defining problem, W.E.B. Du Bois came to Atlanta and it changed him. A new documentary examines @ajc @itsuatl @PBS @PBSAmerMasters uatl.com/entertainment/…

@Harvarddoc32 You can't give up your HBCU status

Kentucky State University is giving up its HBCU status for a Polytechnical status, like Virginia Tech & Georgia Tech. Did they have a choice????

@itsuatl senior reporter @erniesuggs highlights Chad Pitts’ journey as a standout example of Black excellence, balancing elite competition in the ring with academic discipline. In a sport where college degrees are rare, Pitts is building a path that blends focus in the classroom with dominance in the ring. #boxing #morehouse #hbcu #studentathlete #blackexcellence 🎥: AJC | HBO Sports | Parkway Productions/USA Boxing 📸: Jason Getz, Miguel Martinez/AJC | USA Boxing | Pitts Family | Morehouse Boxing Club | chadksp/Instagram | Getty Images

In my latest, I spar with @Morehouse's Chad Pitts, one of USA's best amateur fighters. But we also talk about his dreams of turning pro, all while navigating a heavy college course load, where he has maintained a 4.0 this semester. @ajc @itsuatl #hbcu uatl.com/news/2026/03/m…

Wishing the great Andrew Young a happy early Birthday. The civil rights leader and former congressman, mayor and ambassador was born 3-12-32 and is 94 with the energy of a man half his age. @AJC @itsuatl uatl.com/news/2026/03/a…

Still in full W.E.B. Du Bois mode here at @ajc. If you have not read the fantastic story by Mirtha Donastorg, along with the amazing images by Natrice Miller, click & enjoy. And check out scenes of our opening last week at the @CAU Art Museum. @itsuatl ajc.com/sp/dubois-revi…

Bernard LaFayette Jr., civil rights strategist, dies at 85 A founding member of SNCC, Bernard LaFayette helped desegregate Nashville, organized voting rights in Selma and later carried King’s philosophy of nonviolence around the world. @ajc @itsuatl ajc.com/news/2026/03/b…

Epic night at the @CAU Art Museum as “W.E.B. Du Bois Revisited” opened, inspired by @ajc’s re-creation of 1900 Paris exhibit. Marking 100 years of #BlackHistoryMonth, CAU Prez George French called it “a profound tribute” to Du Bois. @CAUArtMuseum @ASALH uatl.com/news/2026/03/a…

In today's ePaper, I go back to my days at @NCCU in 1988, when I first met Jesse Jackson. And back to 1973, when I first heard his voice. Then to 2025, the last time I saw him. R.I.P. Rev. Jackson. @ajc @itsuatl editions.ajc.com/shortcode/AJC4…

I'm on the AJC Opinion pages today with my essay about my relationship with Jesse Jackson & how he influenced my generation. "I had known Jesse Jackson all my life, or so I believed, long before I ever shook his hand." @ajc @itsuatl #jessejackson uatl.com/news/2026/02/i…
