On this day in 1967, @NAACP_LDF 's founder, Thurgood Marshall, was sworn in as the first Black justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Justice Marshall used his position to defend affirmative action and the right to privacy, while challenging racial discrimination. #OTD

“As the U.S. continues to grapple with race and racism, it’s time for the nation, its police officers and its media to stop being complicit in using a term based on a discredited 18th century theory rooted in false notions of white racial superiority.”

Fascinating that, on one hand, something that constrains white folks freedoms is a terrible "slavery" and OTOH, white folks keep saying that literal slavery wasn't that bad and we should get over it already.

Amazing: “Ogletree immediately understood that [Anita Hill] would need a defense attorney even though she was the accuser, not the accused. And even though Ogletree was up for tenure at the time, Hill said, he didn't hesitate to wade into the controversy.”

@kristinrawls @salexandy so true. @BrianLehrer had a segment today where people could call in and talk about their loved ones lost to COVID. It was really beautiful & you could tell people needed to publicly speak their names & their lives.
