Detroit’s Black population grew sixfold from 1910 to 1920, and many businesses that sprouted to welcome the newcomers flourished.

Just a sprinkle of positivity would be nice

Normalize Black stories WITHOUT racism and trauma.

Such a viral program. Too many people forget that Black folks are farmers, black folks live in the rural south. While the program is here to stay let’s not fall asleep at the wheel.

So the realities we as Black Washingtonian face were the same before and will be after it’s removed. This sign is not the solution to the bigger issue. We keep us safe and don’t need our government to flash a temporary solution in our face to appease us and make us think they’re doing something.

Look, from the beginning I’ve always said this plaza was performative. Did I enjoy it being here while it lasted…yes. Am I mad it’s going away…no. Because regardless if 16 St. says BLM or not, our city has done virtually little to keep Black Residents Safe.

BREAKING: DC Mayor Muriel Bowser says Black Lives Matter Plaza will be changed, becoming part of a mural marking America's 250th birthday. This comes as Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) pushes a bill to strip DC of funds unless the name & mural are removed.

“‘No Other Land’ reflects the harsh reality that we have been enduring for decades and still persist as we call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.”

The party lost their way a long time ago. Got too comfy being wealthy and took their base support for granted. The party has become a place to advance your career. Too much opportunism. And don’t get me started on the CBC but I digress 🤐
