The Overlooked Black Architect Who Shaped a Landmark Smithsonian Museum | Brian Goldstein
Max Bond Jr., who lobbied for and co-designed the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC, deserves a larger place in history.

"Bunch is a fighter, but a smart one. He has often struck me as a master of institutional jiu-jitsu—a leader who knows instinctively when to hold the line, when to yield, and how to convert yielding to the advantage of the institution he has done so much to advance and protect."—Sebastian Smee

Yesterday, @Smithsonian announced the retirement of Lonnie G. Bunch III, founding director of our museum & 14th Secretary of the Smithsonian. His commitment helped create a national museum documenting a people’s journey & a nation’s story through the African American lens.

So, @michaelharriot asked me how I might think about rewriting the Constitution and... of course I had some thoughts.

62 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law because people refused to back down. That same energy is needed now.Â
As voting rights are under attack, we cannot afford to be complacent.
We must keep fighting until every voice is heard and every vote counts.

Laila Edwards has become the highest-drafted Black woman in PWHL history after the expansion team PWHL San Jose selected her with the No. 4 overall pick. The Wisconsin standout helped lead her team to an NCAA championship and now continues to break barriers at the professional level. Laila's achievement shows young Black athletes that there is no limit to what they can accomplish! 🏒

I don't think people realize how young Medgar, Malcolm, and Martin were. Not one of them saw 40.

Today, on what would have been Trayvon Martin’s 31st birthday, our museum shines light on his life and legacy. His mother Sybrina Fulton remembers him as an adventurous kid who loved planes and aspired towards a career in aviation.
ALT Photo of Trayvon wearing his flight suit with badges running down the front. His hand opposite to the camera is rested on the propeller of a plane. He is smiling at the camera and standing in front of another student in a flight suit who is obscured. A large plane sits in the right corner of the photo.

Kujichagulia!
#Kwanzaa’s theme colors reflect the Pan-African movement: black for the people, red for the struggle, and green for the future and hope that comes from struggle: nmaahc.si.edu/kwanzaa.

BLACK FARMERS AREN’T TAKING THE BAIT
Rejecting Trump’s bailout as structurally racist.
The $12 billion runs through the same USDA systems that systematically locked Black farmers out for decades. Loan denials, delayed paperwork, acreage rules, enrollment hurdles. The discrimination is documented.
A bailout depending on those same pipelines isn’t relief. It’s theater.
