"Juneteenth has long been celebrated all over the country even though many outside of Texas don’t recall learning about it in school. Now, in this sixth month of the non-stop stunner that is 2020, the country finds itself in a period of education and reckoning of the racism embedded in its birth. This education includes learning about Juneteenth."
Observe the holiday by learning more about its history, teaching the next generation.

8:46
Last night, Netflix dropped a new set from Dave Chapelle and reactions are overwhelmingly positive. This set isn’t his usual brand of comedy, however. Instead, audiences are hailing 8:46 as a sermon for the current moment and are praising Chappelle’s raw and personal response to the death of George Floyd.
The title 8:46 marks the length of time officer Derek Chauvin held his knee to Floyd’s neck. It’s also the comedian’s exact time of birth, according to his birth certificate, and it’s a tribute to Kobe Bryant: “He died the day I won a Grammy,” Chapelle said. “They had both of his f**king jersey numbers hanging up. 8, 24. Well, that’s my birthday. Crying like a baby.”
Chappelle has remained relatively quiet around the issue of police brutality and Floyd’s murder specifically. As celebrities, including comedians, voice their support for the protests have taken hold across the US, Chapelle’s silence has been interpreted by some as indifference. In the special, Chappelle asks, “why would people care what their favorite comedian thinks after they saw a police officer for eight minutes and 46 seconds?”
He also uses the opportunity to skewer hypocrisy in the entertainment industry. He noted, for example, how the right-wing media told LeBron James to “shut up and dribble” when he spoke out about racism, yet when white athletes like Drew Brees took a political stance against kneeling during the anthem, their message was amplified.
Watch the entire special below.

“At last, this is what we produced together! We identified a problem, created dialogue to brainstorm ideas, took action, and here is the product... a solution! This is one of the very reasons this group was created. 👏🏽 These hashtags can be used as compliments to other hashtags such as “blacklivesmatter”. Feel free to post now on your social media platforms. 😊
No specific caption is needed, but please add #YoungPeopleForBlackLives and tag our pages on Twitter (@YP4BlackLives) and Instagram (@YoungPeopleForBlackLives) to build our follower base.
The public page (@YoungPeopleForBlackLives) will be published soon so we can utilize Facebook for awareness and education. Will update when this happens.
Thank you to everyone who contributed! ✊🏽

Thought process that went into the final product:
1. “BLM” is easier for people to dismiss than "Black Lives" written out. Using “BLM” could also unintentionally cause people to associate it with the “Black Lives Matter” organization, which we don’t have permission to use.
2. Most people type out the full “blacklivesmatter” hashtag. These hashtags will populate as suggestions and at the same time won’t become potential trademark/copy right issues.
3. “Young People For Black Lives” brand awareness is still developing, so using “YP4BL” won’t be effective if people don’t know to search that for resources. But let’s build it!
4. This is a start we can always build off of if necessary. 😊” @youngpeopleforblacklives
Let’s get the kids involved in the conversation so we can fix some societal issues early.
As anger and heartbreak have swept across America over the killing of yet another black man at the hands of police, CNN and Sesame Street are refocusing their second town hall to address racism.

DETROIT - Today, @campaignzero is launching #8CantWait, a list of 8 policies that, when combined, have the power to reduce police violence that results in death by up to 72%. These policies can be changed immediately.
⠀
They are common sense and easy to understand ideas regarding use-of-force that will make our communities safer. This plan is simple but not small — the impact of these policies will save lives. I’m supporting #8CantWait, and I urge you to join me.
⠀
We need to flood mayor’s offices across the country with clear demands that these policies be enacted immediately. We simply can’t wait — too much is at stake.
⠀
These changes can be made right now.
⠀
Your mayor has the power to change them immediately, but we have to make the demand. Go to 8cantwait.org to take action with me today! @ Detroit, Michigan

Introducing something NEW and EXCITING for another level in kingdom building in Detroit - #MasterMindMedia.
In this digital age, content has a much different feel than that of yesteryear when newspapers and news programs championed journalism. Sadly, quality journalism has been replaced with quick sound bites and the true heart of the story has all but been lost over time.
People want to see stories that matter to them. So, we are creating something new for the current times that engages and informs OUR people. Look out for Original and Exclusive Content (videos, interviews, and articles) that focuses on our community and the work we're doing to change what real neighborhoods looks like. Join us on this amazing journey of discovery and revelation.
Watching the news these days often means checking to see how your local sports team is doing, proposed changes to town plans or new shops opening on the nearest street. Local news keeps people up to date on everything that’s going on in a community, but also plays a vital role in holding local councils and institutions accountable.
We recognize the important role Master Mind Media will play in how people get new information in Islandview (and abroad), and we want to do more to support local writers and on-air talent. For this reason, we’re launching the Master's “” Journalism Project.
Our objective is to first teach the importance of having and sharing your voice, regardless of socioeconomic status, because it’s valid. It’s important for people to have access to the tools of journalism (AP, broadcast style, or other) writing foundation, fundamentals of visual storytelling, and public speaking).
