It was an honor to celebrate Mr. Tommy Dortch, an #HBCUMade legend, with my Georgia colleagues and Mr. Dortch's family and friends in the U.S. Capitol. Our thanks can never measure up to Mr. Dortch's contributions but I'm still going to try y'all!

In 1993, Tommy Dortch became my first client when he hired me to produce a newsletter for the 100 Black Men of Atlanta. Thus, began a friendship that lasted 30 years. I am grateful for his generous spirit and the many ways he blessed our city. Rest in power, Tommy. 🙏🏽

Deeply saddened to hear my friend Thomas "Tommy" Dortch, Jr. of @100BlackMen has passed away.
He was a trailblazer whose decades of leadership in the community moved Georgia forward and paved the way for so many who have come behind him.
Praying for his family & many friends.

Boris was a climber, intoxicated with the proximity to power. Not surprising that he’d do anything to maintain it. Grossly unqualified. Never smart enough to walk away. And, I’m being generous.

The National Negro Anthem is called “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” not raise your voice and sing.
It also isn’t “so-called,” when it’s absolute.
The original hymn was written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900. That’s 123 years to acknowledge the history.
