King Holiday invites us to reflect and, among other invitations, to engage democracy in acting. The work of protecting truth, expanding access, and safeguarding the vote does not end after January. It is sustained by everyday courage and collective responsibility. As we move toward King Holiday, we’re reminded that the Beloved Community depends on people who show up—not just in moments of commemoration, but in moments of decision. #BelovedCommunity #MLKDay #Nonviolence365 #MLK

Big Mama Thornton performing "Hound Dog". She released the song first in 1953 before Elvis Presley (1956), his biggest worldwide rock and roll hit record. Thornton was a blues singer who helped shape the sound of Rock&Roll. She released the song “Hound Dog” in 1953 and it sold two million records and went #1 on the R&B charts. Unfortunately Thornton only received about $500 from those profits.

Listening to Thriller by Michael Jackson in 2026 would be like listening to music made in 1939 when Thriller came out.... This comparison exposes in my opinion how distorted our sense of modern time has become. Thriller was released in 1982, a year that still feels recent to many people who lived through it, yet it now sits more than four decades in the past. When the album debuted, the Second World War was closer in time than the present day is now. The world that produced Thriller existed without the internet, without smartphones, without digital streaming, and without the constant acceleration that defines contemporary culture. The album itself became a temporal anchor. Its sound, visuals, and choreography were replayed so relentlessly that they never seemed to age. Music videos ran on loop. Radio kept it alive. Later, streaming froze it in a permanent present. As a result, Thriller feels less like an artifact and more like a shared memory that never stopped happening. When Thriller was released, Thomas Edison had been dead for only 51 years, roughly the same distance in time as Thriller is from today. © Historyfeels #archaeohistories

What Exactly Is Sickle Cell? Sickle cell is not caused by spiritual attacks or bad luck. It is a genetic blood disorder passed from parents to child. Like blood group, genotype is inherited—not chosen. Knowledge replaces myths with facts. #SickleCellAwareness #KnowYourGenotype
