That digs deep into the core of our nation, of who we could be, who we can be

         There has been a distortion in many echo chambers.

If we take a look at my Aunt Coretta Scott King’s letter, we know that she was a peace maker. Her intentions were never to divide during her whole life. I was her communications and correspondence secretary for several years when I was a young women.

Does Coretta Scott King thank Jeff Sessions?

The Rosa Parks Library dedication

While Coretta Scott King did not single out Sessions for praise or specifically thank him, Cameron Martindale, the President of Troy University Montgomery, did thank Sessions. As Martindale introduced Sessions, she said that the establishment of the Rosa Parks Library would not have been possible without his support.

This project has been doubly blessed by having the support of both Alabama Senators. Senator Jeff Sessions & Senator Richard Shelby. They have worked tirelessly over the last two years to secure funding for this project and I cannot adequately thank them for what they mean to us. This project would not be possible without the support of Senator Shelby and Senator Sessions.

Interesting and thought provoking as ever! Is the centrist view just too dull in this world which craves extreme soundbites and conspiracy theories. Quality leadership can go unnoticed, rather like a good referee in football (soccer).
On black lives matter - I think that the concept has been sufficiently hijacked as to have maimed it - all lives matter, obviously, and none more than others. I notice skin colour like everyone else does. I want to know about their background, culture, their experience of life, whether black white pink or purple. It is one of the great enjoyments - to learn and be able to celebrate with and for other cultures.

Thank you, @ebryans
#BlackLivesMatter is claimed to be set up to,

The Creation of a Movement
I created #BlackLivesMatter with Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, two of my sisters, as a call to action for Black people after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was post-humously placed on trial for his own murder and the killer, George Zimmerman, was not held accountable for the crime he committed. It was a response to the anti-Black racism that permeates our society and also, unfortunately, our movements.

Is the invisible hand of the Open Society Foundations behind #BlackLivesMatter?
