Project 21

Beneath the quiet summer sky, Where rows of marble proudly lie, The stars and stripes in breezes sway To mark this hallowed, solemn day. They answered freedom’s urgent call And laid down life—the greatest all. Through stormy seas and foreign lands, They held the line with steadfast hands. Not just names upon a stone, But cherished dreams, futures unknown. They paid the ultimate, high cost So liberty would not be lost. We breathe the air of peace they bought. We live the victory they sought. In silent awe, we guard their name, And feed remembrance's sacred flame. #MemorialDay #MemorialDay2026

Suspending the #GasTax won’t fix everything, but it will put real money back in drivers’ pockets. In @KCStar, Project 21's Michael Austin notes that even temporary relief could mean meaningful savings for families feeling the squeeze. nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/… @KSEconomist #fuelprices #gasprices #painatthepump

"As a black conservative leader in America, @BobWoodson taught me that I can be a man who stands firm in my beliefs and makes no apologies for them." - Project 21's @TerrisTodd62 nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/…

The #NAACP is revealing its true priorities when it encourages black athletes to resist opportunities to maximize their success and wealth, argues Project 21's @TerrisTodd62.

"Bob Woodson represented a generation that spoke to black America with dignity, faith, responsibility and hope," says Project 21's KJ McKenzie. "He reminded us of our historical triumphs of overcoming impossible odds through family, perseverance, entrepreneurship and belief in God instead of constantly framing Black Americans as permanent victims. "At a time when so many activists and politicians profit from outrage and oppression narratives, Bob Woodson challenged people to rise higher, build stronger communities and reclaim the values that carried previous generations forward. This is a time for each of us to stand taller and continue the fight." "Mr. Woodson was a living example of dignity, honor and wisdom. He lived out what it means to extend grace to others, and the stories he told of historical figures demonstrated how black Americans overcame their circumstances to live fully in the grace of God, claiming their full rights as Americans in the pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness," adds Project 21's Evie (“Shelly E”) Harris. "As we mourn his passing, we fondly remember Mr. Woodson as an elder statesman, a griot of sorts, passing down timeless lessons to the people & country he loved. Well done, good and faithful servant. May you wear the crown you have aptly earned. Rest in peace." nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/… @BobWoodson @WoodsonCenter @ShellyEPopstar @bmorepopstars #BobWoodson #blackconservatives

"The thinking of civil-rights hero Robert L. Woodson Sr., who died on May 19 at 89, ran counter to the dominant orthodoxy of the day. Decades of evidence have vindicated him." READ: wsj.com/opinion/robert… via @WSJopinion

Ambassadors with the Project 21 black leadership network are honoring the legacy of Bob Woodson, a civil rights activist whose example and wisdom inspired and empowered many within our current generation of black conservatives. nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/… #BobWoodson #blackconservatives @BobWoodson @WoodsonCenter @TerrisTodd62 @PriscillaRahnEd @MrJPisGreat @ayeshakreutz @TheHoraceCooper @bmorepopstars @ShellyEPopstar @ScherieMurray @CraigDeluz @ebonyjewess @drtinowsmith @AndreNumbersUSA @DavidLoweryJr @LindaBPodcast @ChicagoREDP @anuncommonvoice @KathleenTNTR

"The #NAACP claims to champion black advancement, yet too often it supports policies that keep black Americans politically dependent rather than genuinely empowered. The organization speaks endlessly about 'representation,' but representation without transformation is meaningless," writes Project 21's Dr. @EricMWallace1. "Young athletes are being encouraged to risk scholarships, endorsements, team relationships, and future careers not for policies that will improve schools, reduce crime, strengthen families, or create economic opportunity, but for abstract political theater designed to energize activists and preserve ideological narratives." nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/…

My heartfelt prayers and condolences to the family of civil rights legend Bob Woodson and the entire Woodson Center family. I will forever cherish his encouragement, support, and the incredible legacy he leaves behind. He will be deeply missed!!

Bob Woodson was a friend and mentor who was a constant source of wisdom & encouragement. Dignified, genuine, and selfless, he was a leader in the mold of Booker T. Washington who lived his faith & believed all ppl could be agents of their own uplift. He will definitely be missed.

Remembering a great man…Godly and wise. RIP Bob Woodson. woodsoncenter.org @WoodsonCenter @Project21News @terristodd62 @DL_Institute @BobWoodson

The Southern Poverty Law Center isn't a true civil rights organization. It's a well-funded left-wing machine that engages in partisan politics and silences its enemies. Watch Dr. @carolmswain testify about what this organization is really up to ⬇️

As the #NAACP encourages a boycott of southern college football programs because of their states' #redistricting efforts, Project 21's @TerrisTodd62 debunks the NAACP's claims that their frustrations are truly about black representation.

.@Project21News' Deroy Murdock advises black politicians to shed the 'training wheels' of racial politics. He calls them to run as regular Democrats or Republicans, thus fostering a broader appeal and moving beyond divisive rhetoric that exacerbates racial tension.

This is the contradiction many Americans are finally noticing. The political Left constantly speaks about “representation” and “diversity”… until Black conservatives, Black Christians, Black nationalists, or Black Republicans enter the conversation. Then suddenly representation no longer matters. Why? Because for many activists and institutions, diversity was never truly about diversity of thought… it was about ideological conformity. A Black conservative woman running on family, law and order, economic growth, school standards, and constitutional values disrupts the narrative that all Black Americans think alike politically. And that creates discomfort. So instead of engaging the ideas… they reduce everything to race arithmetic, identity politics, or emotional tribalism. That is why so many people are walking away from modern DEI ideology. Because Americans increasingly want competence, leadership, stability, and outcomes… not permanent racial sorting systems where identity matters more than merit or policy. And ironically… The democrats screaming loudest about “diversity” often become the most hostile when someone diverse in political thought appears. That contradiction is becoming impossible to ignore. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove
