Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was a masterclass in subversion—an all-Black cast forming the American flag, each in red, white, and blue. Samuel L. Jackson as “Uncle Sam,” reclaiming Black autonomy in a country built on our culture. This was genius. #KendrickLamar #SuperBowlLVIII

📽️ Sing Sing made history as the first film to screen inside U.S. correctional facilities, including in my home state of Texas.

🔥 One of those men is Clarence Maclin, who plays himself in the film.
