    Harriet Tubman made 19 trips along the Underground Railroad to free over 300 enslaved people between 1850-1860. She once had a $40,000 ($1.2 million in 2020) bounty on her head. She carried a pistol on her for protection from slave catchers and slaves who wanted to turn back.

    Joe Biden is on the brink of being President of the United States and again, it's Black folk, in Milwaukee; it's Black folk in Philadelphia; it's Black folk in Detroit; it's Black folk in Atlanta turning up like it's Freaknik again in the mid 90s." - @Bakari_Sellers on CNN

    Dave Chappelle said white people should commit random acts of kindness for Black people who don’t deserve it. Because for years, they’ve inflicted pain on Black people who didn’t deserve it. #SNL

    BREAKING: DPD police chief James Craig has fired Sean Bostwick.
    Detroit Police officer Sean Bostwick posted this on his social media. He was suspended from the job Sunday. He needs to be fired. Your top cop is black, you patrol a predominantly black neighborhood, in a city that is almost 85% black. Can’t have this on our force.

    “Warnock had to thread an incredible needle, because they tried to make him a radical negro. So, now you have a Morehouse alum going to the senate; you have a Howard alum who’s Vice-President; and a Spelman sister who lifted them up. It’s a great day in Georgia.” @Bakari_Sellers
