As I was lamenting to my husband on the phone that I was a bit sad to wake up alone in another city on my birthday, the @Delta team in DC showed up with this surprise! 🥰❤️

As I usually do during this time of year, I wanted to share my favorite books, movies, and music of 2023. First up, here are the books I've enjoyed reading. If you’re looking for a new book over the holidays, give one of them a try. And if you can, shop at an independent bookstore or check them out at your local library. What were some of your favorite books this year?

My mother’s birthday is tomorrow. She made the journey in 2007. Everything I am is because of her teachings and counsel and guidance. I’d be incredibly grateful if you could wish her a happy birthday, where she is, out there with her ancestors — among the star nation (Pleiades.)

AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY
AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY@AfricanArchives·
In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people. The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him. Happy Birthay to Ronald! He would’ve been 73 today! Ronald McNair was 9 when a South Carolina librarian told him he could not check out books from a segregated library in 1959. Refusing to leave, a determined McNair sat on the counter while the librarian called the police, as well McNair's mother. The police arrived, told the librarian to let the young boy have his books, and McNair walked out alongside his mother and brother. McNair went on to earn his Ph.D. in physics at MIT and became one of the first African Americans selected as astronauts by NASA, alongside Guion S. Bluford, Jr. and Frederick Gregory. McNair's first spaceflight was the STS-41B mission, aboard the "Challenger" shuttle. He successfully maneuvered the robotic arm, which allowed astronaut Bruce McCandless to perform the first space walk without being tethered to the spacecraft. The second space flight for McNair would be his last. He, along with six other NASA astronauts, were aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger when it exploded 73 seconds after takeoff in 1986. Everyone on board the shuttle was killed. Today, the library in South Carolina where McNair was refused books is named after the heroic boy determined to make a difference. 🖋️if you love our content, please consider supporting our page on AfricanArchives.Support (follow the ko-fi page too for weekly posts roundup)

President Biden let the country and the world down with an address to the American people that can only be characterized as a declaration of war. He refuses to listen to people in his own party like @CoriBush and @RashidaTlaib, nor millions of everyday folk like @jvplive calling for a #ceasefire and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

The girl in blue is the true epitome of what a Queen truly is! She was crowned Homecoming Queen By her Senior class.... …but took the crown off her head and placed it on the girl in pink (escorted by her father). She had lost her mother to cancer the morning of Homecoming. Senior Nyla Covington at Forrest County Agricultural High School showed marvelous grace, humbleness, friendship, beauty and love!!! “All I could think about was my mom and how she wanted to be here, and then the next thing I know, Nyla walked towards me, and she hugged me,” Brittany Walters said. “Then she started to take off her crown.” Way to go Nyla! We could all take a lesson in “Loving Thy Neighbor” through you. Credit: Rick Karle and Eleanor ONeil.

I hope teachers start using “look around everybody on mute” to quiet their classrooms.
