Be a good troublemaker like our hero Rep. John Lewis
Continue performing Good Trouble in Rep. John Lewis’ name. It took me a while to
Uncle Willie and Aunt Maggie are Back!
Aunt Maggie takes over this phone call, I wonder what she has to say this time?
Joe BIDEN is the real PRESIDENT of these UNITED STATES.
While the nation and the world grieved, not once has Trump attended any of Floyd’s three home-goings. Since President Obama left us, we have had a dictator, an oppressor, a liar and a White Supremacist. To me this disqualifies. So to me the presidency is vacant until someone worthy of that honor comes.
Floyd’s Untold Story as a Faithful Christian
He was a gentle giant, non-violent and as all of us honor his memory let us not disgrace his memory with arson and looting. This dishonors him. It also dishonors our past. And plays right into the hand of Trump.
Blacks Have Two Problems: Them and Us
Until we can understand violence is not normal and we continue to dismiss black-on-black murder we will lose many valued souls. In the nation’s capital, around where I live many people go to bed every night with the sound of gunshots ringing in their ears, afraid to let their children come out and play.

Them and Us and until we solve both we be merely surviving and not thriving.

Happy Birthday Coretta Scott King!!
Today is the 93rd birthday of Coretta Scott King, who died in January.
For 30 years she was my mentor and friend. She honored me by allowing me to write her memoirs: My Life, My Love, My Legacy. I pray that one day we will honor and celebrate her birthday. Here was a woman who spent 15 years of her life to help make her husband, one of the greatest martyrs of our generation a holiday and after his birthday served this country for more than three decades as an activist and political voice for good. Here are at least three aspects you should know about her.
Even now love still reigns
I saw courage. I saw devotion. I saw Jesus working in new ways, shedding a new light. But more than that I found love
Uncle Willie’s “truths” fiction not facts?
There is also plan B. Under martial law, the president can seize banks, seize control of the Internet and media to broadcast his emergency statements. He will have enormous power and since he believes whatever he does is in the public interest and the cowardly GOP will back him up, he can close down the polls and the elections to save the Republic because the Pandemic would make it too dangerous for large groups to go to the voting polls.
