On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC.
They sparked a national movement across the country. Instructions were simple: sit quietly and wait to be served. #BlackHistoryMonth

Mayor @andreforatlanta tells reporters he’s spoken with GA House Speaker, Lt Gov and Gov and he doesn’t see any of them backing Buckhead Cityhood this session.
He says they tell him things seem to be going well and there’s “no need to upset the applecart.”

City & State cooperation is critical for Atlanta & Georgia so it’s good to see & working hand-in-hand.
There is still much to do and great potential here.

Black people in the US are devastated by gun violence at a disproportionate rate, largely due to systemic inequities and generations of racial discrimination. The resulting trauma reverberates throughout families and communities. #BlackHistoryMonth #GVSurvivorsWeek

We don’t need a video to know that Tyre Nichols’ life mattered.
My heart is with his mother and everyone feeling pain and outrage from yet another life that should not have been taken.

I remember the Rodney King assault. I remember how many of us thought the footage would change everything, Finally there was “proof”. Now there’s footage everyday of police brutalizing us. This footage is in HD & often comes from the police. Nothing changes. #TyreNichols

I am disgusted by the grotesquely inhumane treatment of #TyreNichols.
I want elected officials, civic leaders, corporations & faith leaders to invest the same [even more] energy in preventing police brutality as they did in preparing for responses to a video of police brutality.

🧵: May God bless the memory of Tyre Nichols. I pray for his family during this time of unspeakable loss and grief. His life mattered.
Tragically we have been here time & time again. But we must never accept injustice & cruelty as the price for public safety. This has to stop.

Tyre Nichols, 29, was a dad to a 4-year-old son. He loved to photograph sunsets and skateboard, a passion he’s had since he was a little boy.
If you want to share a video, share this one. It’s how his family wants him to be remembered. 🌅

Georgia has more kids in poverty than 43 other states. 20% of children live in families below the poverty line. Yet we are 1 of only 6 states without any specific education funding to support students in poverty. Here's the case to change that: #GaPol

Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿
