"20 Summers: Rebuilding the Rhythm of New Orleans," this BET short documentary is a tribute to resilience, rhythm, and the heartbeat of a city that never stopped making noise. 🎷 🎺
20 Summers of rebuilding. 🔨
20 Summers of rediscovering. 👀
20 Summers of revelations. 📖
20 Summers of resilience. 💪🏾
They waited on rooftops. They begged for help. And the world watched. While the levees may have broken, the spirit of the 504 didn't. Here are five powerful voices — Grammy winners Tarriona “Tank” Ball and PJ Morton, poet and activist Sunni Patterson, bounce legend Ha Sizzle, and rapper Pell — reflecting on the 20 years since Hurricane Katrina changed everything and how the Crescent City continues to let the good times roll. #20Summers #20SummersBET #BET

Anjanette Young, the Chicago woman who was targeted by a botched police raid, is speaking out for the first time since the city approved a $2.9 million settlement.
“I would have been more satisfied if all 12 officers had gotten fired and I didn’t receive a dime,” she said.

EXCLUSIVE: @GayleKing sits down with Azriel Clary, who was a minor when she met R. Kelly, for her first interview since testifying against him.
“He was selfish. He was greedy. He was a pedophile. And he never, not once, wanted to get help.”

“…there are intentional attempts to deprive, in particular, Black and brown and students, Native Americans and Asians, the access to voting, voting is a right.
What they're trying to do is make the right meaningless by depriving access.” - @VP Kamala Harris #StateOfOurUnionBET

In layman's terms the conversation is not just about policing it's a much broader conversation. #StateOfOurUnionBET @BET @soledadobrien it's always about getting to the root cause as the @VP works to explain. There are entire communities that need reformation.

Completely agree w/@VP—"the Delta variant…that’s real.”
When you mix:
⬆️ transmissible variant
⬆️ social mixing
⬇️ adherence to public heath measures, &
⬇️ vaccination uptake locally
You get a (totally preventable) COVID surge...& that's real. #StateOfOurUnionBET
