Look up the ages of the Freedom Riders. Lots of young folks. So when people are discussing whether it’s fair to ask young people to boycott attending certain schools in the Deep South over gerrymandering, realize young people were a core component of the civil rights movement.

On this day in 1961, 27 Freedom Riders headed to New Orleans were arrested in the Jackson, Mississippi, bus station. ow.ly/in8h50Z2TYQ

Pioneers: Eugene Caruthers, Elizabeth Watkins Crawford, George L. Nichols, Mary Luellen Owens Wagner, and Clarence McKinney. Their courage and legacy now stand tall for future generations. The statues, titled “The Path” by sculptor Austen Brantley, were unveiled on October 25, 2025. History remembered and honored. 👏🏾

I told the Supreme Court what would happen if it ruled against Louisiana’s fair map. And I was right. The results have been catastrophic. But the sílver lining is a sleeping giant has been awakened. Our democracy majority is coming together. #ARLS ms.now/opinion/suprem…

It’s not surprising that the states redrawing voting maps to suppress black voters are the same ones that fought to keep slavery. 😡

Dr. Gina Merritt, a Black woman developer and founder of NREUV (Northern Real Estate Urban Ventures), made history by raising over $310 million to fund multiple affordable housing projects across Ohio, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Her work is delivering more than 1,200 affordable units and transforming communities. A powerful example of vision, persistence, and impact. 👏🏾

Patrick Glanville, a Black chocolatier, got tired of getting fired and underpaid even though he knew his stuff. So he co-founded 3 Some Chocolates with his wife Kristin — their own gourmet chocolate company in New York and became his own boss. From frustration to founder. Turned his passion into a thriving Black-owned business. 👏🏾

We remember. On May 14, 2022, 10 Black people were tragically gunned down while shopping at the Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, NY. Racially-motivated hate violence is on the rise and remains a stain on our democracy.

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

In 1957, Marlon Green, an Air Force pilot, applied to be a Continental Airlines pilot. Green had applied to other airlines but was rejected each time. When he filled out his application for Continental, he left the “race” box unchecked. Green made it to the final round of interviews but was not hired, even though he had more flight time than the other candidates who were white. Green filed a complaint with the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Commission, a landmark case that ended up in the United States Supreme Court which ruled in Greens favor and helped dismantle racial discrimination in the American passenger airline industry. While David Harris was the first Black pilot hired with a major airline, Marlon Green’s fight for the right to be in the flight deck cleared a path for generations of Black pilots to come. In 2010, Continental dedicated a 737 named for Captain Marlon Green. The aircraft, N77518, still flies for United today. Thank you, Marlon Green for your contributions towards Black History and paving the way for many to follow 🧑🏾‍✈️✈️
