Dreaming of Monet and water lilies and my failed attempts to take a picture in front of his masterpieces in #Paris.
Sunrise over Ben’s Chili Bowl, as we honor and remember Dr. King’s life and legacy 50 years after his assassination. Instead of heading to Memphis, Urban View host Joe Madison broadcasted from Ben’s, the site that provided refuge and meals to rioters, police officers and politicos as the capitol erupted in flames and fury. Today was memorable. Reminded of the uniting power of good food and kindness. ❤️ #mlk50
“The March is not the climax of the movement, it is the beginning.” #marchforourlives
Walking around D.C. today feels different. It’s bustling with students with a range of accents sharing that they’ve traveled from the far-flung corners of the country. It’s freezing, but they’re out in droves, readying for tomorrow. Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the place that marks the power of a movement, I ready myself for tomorrow. These kids sliding down the marble will be the face of a new movement. They will march. They #marchforourlives
