Queen @halsey still at the protests, working hard to help innocent injured protesters. So proud and grateful for all that she is doing and for her as a person!!! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Thirty one years ago, the Chinese government authorized the use of assault weapons and tanks against its people for protesting for democracy. It is our right as Americans to protest and demand justice. This is what democracy looks like 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿

Black girls and women are fighting many types of wars in this movement and being forgotten. Ending white supremacy won’t end misogyny, homophobia, or transphobia, fatphobia, colorism, and ableism. Black girls and women deserve so much more. That energy you all doled out in the beginning of this movement needs to start being reciprocated for them. Black trans/women’s activism has always been at the forefront of revolution. Keep fighting with/for them. . Bicycle Protest 6/8 .

Education is the key to a better future. There are lessons to be learned today. Lessons that Reverend Martin Luther King should not have had to die to teach us. “Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.” -MLK ”Whether you like it or not the millions are here, and here they will remain. If you do not lift them up, they will pull you down. Education must not simply teach work – it must teach life.” – W. E. B. Du Bois #justice #unity #equality #mlk #mlkday2021 #learn #teach #grow #blacklivesmatter #think #2021 #stoptheviolence #stophate #antifa #malcomx #webdubois #medgarevers #brionnataylor #georgefloyd #implicitbias #bias #racism (at MLK, jr.

Reposted from @emilwilbekin This day will forever be etched in my memory. The day Aaliyah died in a plane crash 19 years ago. I was Editor-in-Chief of @vibemagazine and had to suppress my own grief and be an editor, journalist and manager instead of a fan. The irony of the situation was that #Aaliyah was already on the cover of the August issue of the magazine that was on newsstands with this illustrated cover by @alvaro_arts and then we had to quickly create a tribute issue using the now famous angelic photograph by @upstairsaterics It’s so interesting to see the @vanityfair cover with #BrionnaTaylor by @asherald and @voguemagazine with @aurorajames by @jordanmcasteel and the @kerryjamesmarshs illustrated covers and to reminisce about the Aaliyah Vibe cover in this moment in time and contemplate how Black women are seen and canonized in visual arts. It’s also a moment to be thoughtful about art and it’s relationship to dramatic shifts in life, culture and identity — and how artist see us and how we see ourselves in this world. I also included some photos of Aaliyah when she was a debut artist by @barronclaiborne for #Vibe because they are Dope AF. #RIP #RestInPower #Aaliyah #Art #Existence #BlackWomen #Visage #SayHerName #JusticeForBrionnaTaylor #History #BlackExcellence #BlackCulture #NativeSon #WorldOfWilbekin #WOW - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVsgXvJGYr/?igshid=ghcrwtm9li54
