    Black History Month begins today in the US. There are 47 million African Americans who continue to strive for freedom, justice and equality. The best way to celebrate Black History Month is to make more history. @NNPA_BlackPress @BlackPressUSA @NAACP

    Thanks President Obama for remembering the veterans. My father, Sgt Major Benjamin F Chavis Sr, was a veteran of World War I when the US Army was segregated but he along with thousands of WWI veterans fought for freedom, justice & equality for all humanity.

    President Macron: Your perspective is compatible with best interests of all humanity. Nationalism produces racism, ignorance & human oppression due to the false premise of selective manifest destiny of one nation or race over others. @NAACP @BlackPressUSA

    1977 NC prison isolation trying to break my spirit unsuccessfully. French film exposes the audio of torture by prison guards beating “billy clubs” on the steel bars of my prison cell #PoliticalPrisoners @unitedchurch @NAACP @BlackPressUSA #SaturdayMorning

    President Trump freeing Alice Johnson from unjust 50-year prison sentence is another vivid example why mass incarceration in America must continue to be challenged and ended. @SecondChanceOrg @realDonaldTrump @NAACP

    Patriotism is protesting for that which is just and true. NFL players who are protesting racism and police brutality are the true patriots
