Good Trouble? I just love this story about John Lewis. “When John Lewis Cosplayed at Comic-Con as His Younger Self” Let’s pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act NOW to honor his legacy.

@BarackObama I will always treasure the day you gave Daddy the Medal of Freedom! RIP Jim Brown and Joe Morgan. What a great day!

Daddy had great Marvin Gaye stories! GREAT! Music played a huge role in our life. HUGE! So grateful to my parents for teaching us to love art in all forms! LOVE! #BlackLoveDay

40 years ago today, the late great Marvin Gaye performed arguably the best ever rendition of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ before the 1983 #NBAAllStar game at The Forum!
