Exploring Dr. King’s ‘Two Americas’ More Than Half a Century Later
By LaKeshia N. Myers Every year, I get a tad bit unnerved around Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. I get this way because I know many will post pictures and quotations that will celebrate him as a “dreamer” and seek to sanitize his life and legacy in order to fit him into a very […]

Capitol Chaos: A Tale of Two Americas
Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C. Taylor The comparisons were immediate. If these were Black people, they would have been arrested. If these were Black people, they would have been beaten and shot. If these were Black people, they would have been killed. But they weren’t Black people, they were white. If you haven’t figured […]

When the Chickens Come Home to Roost: Donald Trump, Insurrection and the Death of the Grand Old Party
By LaKeshia N. Myers I wondered when enough would be enough. Publicly mocking a disabled reporter didn’t do it; neither did calling white supremacists in Charlottesville ‘very fine people’; and it most definitely wasn’t the blatant disrespect for women.

By Dr. LaShonda Brenson As the new Congress prepares to take office and members of the U.S. House and Senate make key staff hires, it’s time for careful scrutiny of the diversity reflected within the ranks of congressional staff.

Medical Apartheid, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, & African American Reluctance
By LaKeshia N. Myers Let me begin by saying, “Yes, I will be taking a COVID-19 vaccine when it is made widely available.” I will be asking my doctor for the Moderna vaccine specifically, because it was created by a Black woman; and when you trust Black women, we get things done.

Advocate for A Racial Justice Agenda at the U.S. Department of Education
By John B. King Jr. and Marc Morial The coronavirus has shined a light on how systematic racism, unequal access to opportunity, and disinvestments in low-income communities and communities of color have compounded inequities that have long existed in our country.
