“There’s a lot to be proud of, but if people don’t recognize that pain, then they can never understand the struggle of what it is to be Black in America.” – @bakarisellers on the origin and importance of Black History Month
Tonight. 8pm est.
DEI. We know what it means but this campaign has to be big and bold! Future vs hate. (Yes i did this from airport lounge bathroom.)
4 students from @ncatsuaggies ignited the South and launched a movement. Learn our shared History.
A PSA. Necessary messaging. Tell your friends.
Today was a busy day. Started the morning at River Bluff High School and ended having the opportunity to take the stage for @joebiden and @kamalaharris. It was an honor to have the twins meet MVP. Hoping to give them the same memories my parents gave me. Maybe make tomorrow better than yesterday.

With dozens of law enforcement officers present in a show of support, State Patrol trooper Ryan Londregan made his first court appearance Monday after he was charged last week with murder in the fatal shooting of motorist Ricky Cobb II. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty charged Londregan last week with second-degree unintentional murder, first-degree assault and second-degree manslaughter in the July 31 shooting of Cobb, 33. Londregan, 27, has and will remain out of custody. Londregan has not yet been booked into jail. His attorney, Chris Madel, said that will likely take place next week. According to state statute, a defendant must submit fingerprints to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) before a judge accepting a plea of guilty or not guilty. Londregan didn’t enter a plea Monday. Cobb’s family attended the hearing Monday along with retained civil rights attorney Bakari Sellers. They declined to comment beyond a statement in which Sellers said he enlisted Geoffrey Alpert, a criminologist at the University of South Carolina. Alpert served as an expert witness for the family of George Floyd who won a record $27 million settlement against the city of Minneapolis and the four officers. It’s said to be the largest pretrial settlement in a civil rights wrongful death lawsuit in U.S. history. Alpert reviewed dash and body-worn camera footage of Cobb’s fatal traffic stop. “Review of the body-worn camera video raises serious questions and red flags about policy violations and the use of excessive force,” Alpert said in a statement. “The video can be used as an example of what a police officer should not do and if the officers had followed protocol and accepted police practices, it is likely that Ricky Cobb II would be alive today.” The BCA said early on that at no point was Cobb seen holding a gun, although one was later recovered on the floor behind the center console
Scenes from LSU! A time was had in the midst of LSU faithful. By the time the horn sounded, they were quiet as a church mouse peeing on cotton! I hope Mulkey saw my jersey. #Petty 📸 : @shotbyjcole

During this media run you often get time to reflect with good friends. @timmillergram and I spoke on his @bulwarkonline podcast and check out this conversation…. Pick up The Moment today! Leave your thoughts below…
This week was fulfilling to say the least. Had the opportunity to moderate a black male educators from Charleston panel, discussing how to improve the plight of our young black boys. Spent time at River Bluff High School with the government, politics, and law class. And of course got a chance to take the fam to see MVP! In between ,of course, practiced some law. Announced a new lawsuit on sex abuse in figure skating, and still trying to be a good lawyer. Thursday and Friday were dope!
With a great response, we have added new stops! Hopefully in a city near you! Leave your thoughts on The Moment below!!!!

This is so dope! Thank you all for your support of The Moment. Charleston Library Virtual talk tonight. St. Louis tomorrow. Chicago Friday. Grab your copy today!
Grab your copy from @turningpagebookshop the Only Blackowned Brick & Mortar Bookstore in SC | The Moment by @bakarisellers is based on thoughts on the Race Reckoning That Wasn’t and How We All Can Move Forward Now. This powerful and persuasive book, Sellers expands on the issues he addressed in his New York Times bestseller My Vanishing Country, examining national politics and policies that deeply impact not only Black people in his home state of South Carolina but the lives of millions of African Americans in communities across the nation. Four years later, Sellers has an answer to the question he raised on CNN, offering much-needed prescriptions to help all Black American lives. Sellers explores inequities in healthcare, education, early childhood education, and policing, drawing on interviews with numerous thought leaders such as pioneering voting rights and poverty activist the Rev. William Barber, and Ben Crump, the civil rights legend who successfully uses the law to achieve justice for people of color in racially charged cases. He also shares his thoughts on conservative media and the forces and dark money behind firebrands such as Tucker Carlson. This thoughtful and practical work is a timely meditation on the state of our world today and how we can all play a part in making it better for tomorrow. #southcarolina #charlestonsc #blackcharleston #blackinamerica #charlestonblackowned #blkcharleston #equality #blacktobusiness #newyourtimesbestseller #blackownedbookstore
