Today, Parkland paid tribute to Dr. John Wesley Anderson by naming a street on our main campus in his honor. As one of the first African-American physicians in Dallas, Dr. Anderson blazed a trail for countless others to follow. #Parkland #ParklandTribute #Medicine #DallasCounty

They were outspent nearly 30 to 1 by their opposition, led by the Nashville FOP, in the fight over Amendment 1.
But the campaign for Nashville's COB said they had something more powerful than money and television ads that propelled them to a lopsided victory Tuesday. #Oversight

Today, I encourage you to preach for the congregation before you, not the one you want or for your friends/mentors who may watch. #FreeYourself

For all y’all right wing fools applauding #KanyeWest for his nonsense about “blacks on welfare,” do ya know how many black adults get cash “welfare” in this country? Fewer than 290,000. This, in a nation with over 29 million black adults. That’s 1 percent. #StopLyingOnBlackFolks

A 30 second reminder from @MichaelEDyson - social media can't adjudicate competing claims of rationality!

When you find yourself feeling weak and insecure look within and figure out how to combat those feelings. This will become a consistent and necessary practice. You’re always worth the work.

My sentiments exactly. LeBron James is more of a prophetic witness in line with the protest tradition of the Black Church than those who were just happy to be at the table.
As a Black preacher it pains me that a basketball player demonstrated greater moral clarity by opening a school for inner city youth & saying he’d refuse to sit across the table from Trump than some black preachers who sold out for a photo op. #Resist

Watching #TravyonMartinStory. Feeling the heartbreak all over again. The narrative of White fear of Black presence has shaped America. The residue infects EVERY system in this country’s history, from George Washington to George Zimmerman.

The jitters before the first day of school are real right now!!! Tomorrow is going to be one of the greatest moments (if not the greatest) of my life when we open the #IPROMISE School. This skinny kid from Akron who missed 83 days of school in the 4th grade had big dreams...
