When Dr. Jong Park learned about disparities among African-American men, he wanted to make an impact. With a V Foundation Translational Grant, Park hopes to help more African-Americans successfully navigate a prostate cancer diagnosis & advance research:
Correct me if I’m wrong! Most college AD’s hire search firms to help them decide who will be their next NCAA men’s head basketball coach? How many search firms are owned & led by African Americans & how many are white? Lastly, who’s monitoring the race of the candidates?
The story behind the viral clip of a GOP senator asking whether Kristen Clarke believed African Americans are ‘genetically superior’
A US congressional panel debates whether to consider federal slavery reparation payments to African Americans, ahead of a historic first vote on an issue gaining momentum during the nation's racial reckoning
#Breaking: US Congress panel backs slavery reparations for African Americans
Portlanders have reason to protest peacefully, @NickKristof writes: Police arrest African-Americans in the city at four times the rate of whites. But violence doesn’t serve any cause other than the election of Republicans.
Online, you can find a list of things you should/shouldn't do during a traffic stop.But many African Americans have additional ones. One keeps a GoPro running. Another puts his wallet on the dashboard as soon as cops pull him over. From @FaithMKarimi
In a world in which another Black man in Minnesota, Philando Castile, was shot dead by police during a 2016 traffic stop despite seemingly doing everything by the book, some African Americans have taken extra precautions to stay safe.
House Judiciary Committee today holds first ever markup of H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act. Would examine slavery from 1619 to the present

Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for being unable to act. Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States. I watched the tapes of A$AP Rocky, and he was being followed and harassed by troublemakers. Treat Americans fairly! #FreeRocky
I am proud to have fought for and secured the LOWEST African American and Hispanic unemployment rates in history. Now I’m pushing for prison reform to give people who have paid their debt to society a second chance. I will never stop fighting for ALL Americans!
A Democrat win in 2020 would be a tragic setback for African Americans! @SteveHiltonx @FoxNews
So. Let's set the stage... President Trump has chosen as the venue for his first rally in months, Tulsa, Oklahoma, site of a horrific massacre of African Americans. And he has set the date for June 19th, Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States.
So if African-American unemployment is now at the lowest number in history, median income the highest, and you then add all of the other things I have done, how do Democrats, who have done NOTHING for African-Americans but TALK, win the Black Vote? And it will only get better!
If Donald Trump takes people's anger and turns it against Muslims, Hispanics, African Americans and women, we will be his worst nightmare.
Mass murder at a Pittsburgh synagogue. A killer targeting African Americans in Kentucky. The bomb maker. The focus should not be only on Trump, but all who excuse, abet, or stand in silence while hate is stoked for political gain.
Our criminal justice system is profoundly broken and has failed African Americans over and over again.
Except for African Americans, Muslims, Latinos, immigrants, women, veterans—and any so-called "losers" or "dummies."
