#NikkiGiovanni, the legendary poet and revolutionary voice of justice, has left this earth, leaving an irreplaceable void. Her words, bold and unapologetic, ignited movements, healed wounds, and inspired generations to rise above oppression. She was a poet of the people, capturing the beauty and complexity of Black life with unmatched grace and power.
Her passing is a profound loss to humanity, but her legacy is eternal. Nikki Giovanni’s voice will continue to echo in the hearts of all who seek justice, love, and liberation. The world is better for her presence and forever changed by her artistry. Rest in peace.

Happy 70th birthday to Ruby Bridges! In 1960, she became the first Black American to attend a white elementary school in the South.
A visual reminder of what she faced every day.
—In 1960, Ruby Bridges became the first Black American to attend a white elementary school in the South. As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled.
Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Mrs. Henry taught her alone, "as if she were teaching a whole class."
Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her; because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, only allowed Ruby to eat food that she brought from home.
Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges said "scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us."
At her mother's suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks. #blackhistory #rubybridges

This is a spot-on encapsulation of my political theology.
"I need my neighbor's children to be ok, so my children will be ok… We are all God’s children. So let’s stand together, let’s work together, let’s organize together, and let’s pray together."
