68 years ago today (8 years to the day before the #MarchOnWashington and my father’s #IHaveADream speech), #EmmettTill was tortured and murdered in a brutal act of white supremacist terrorism. The horrific murder of Emmett Till further galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. #MLK

White supremacy still manifests structurally within institutions of higher education & in most spectrums of society. The Supreme Court is morally bankrupt & intellectually blinded by staunch opposition to Black equity & freedom, whether in the voting booth or higher education.

Re: todays Supreme Court decision: Affirmative Action is a reparative and corrective measures to right historic and current day wrongs.
Affirmative Action is not racism. Affirmative Action is a measure which has been effective in combatting systemic and structural racism.

Just when I think it can’t get any worse. The AG in Mo filed a embarrassing pretend brief to REVERSE a conviction. An unarmed black man was shot by a police officer, they staged the scene to plant a gun …he was convicted by judge(his request for judge trial). 🧵

That the Missouri governor is even thinking of subverting justice for the only Kansas City police officer ever found guilty of killing a Black man is shocking. kansascity.com/opinion/editor…

BREAKING: Jackson County Prosecutor @jeanpetersbaker says Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is considering a pardon for Eric DeValkenaere, the only white police officer ever convicted in KC for shooting a Black man.

A pardon here would be outrageously unjust.

This is beyond outrageous. The defendant asked for a judge tried case. He was convicted (evidence included that a gun and bullet were planted on the victim by the police officer) The AG should do his job or resign. It is the law. What the hell?? 🧵
