A lifetime of courage. A legacy of justice. ❤️🕊️
We honor Dolores Huerta, whose lifelong fight for justice and equality inspired generations to find their voices and recognize their power.
Rest in power, Dolores. ¡Sí, se puede! ✊🏽

In 2022, MLB celebrated Roberto Clemente Day at CitiField. @Lindor12BC watched the pre-game ceremony and thought about one day being a part of this fraternity.
Now, he is the 2026 winner of the award.
WATCH: In 2025, I asked him about Clemente’s baseball acumen on the field.

Grandmaster Caz rapping over the "Good Times" instrumental, backed by Nile Rodgers and Chic, last night at the Paid in Full Awards in Vegas.
A partial healing of hip-hop's original sin.

Good morning.
We spent a night with the secret Wu-Tang album.
And Method Man — the artist who’d never heard it, either.

SPECIAL THANKS: Donovan Mitchell Sr., NY Mets’ Senior Director of Community, Inclusion and Player Relations for speaking to my students. You are now a honorary “Hayesman.” Check out this post. 👇
Earlier today, Donovan Mitchell Sr., NY Mets’ Senior Director of Community, Inclusion and Player Relations and the father of Donovan Mitchell Jr. (NBA All-Star player for the Cleveland Cavaliers) spoke with Mr. Torres’ Sports/Media class and select members of the Cardinal Hayes varsity basketball team.
He shared his career trajectory from being drafted by the Houston Astros to playing in the minors. Although his dream to one day play in the big leagues didn’t become a reality, the Mets would reach out and he became a coach.
He eventually applied his expertise in a different department for the Mets - player/community relations. Yet, throughout his discussion, Donovan stressed education, how to deal with adversity and embracing teachers/coaches who can direct Hayesmen on the right path.
The students asked excellent questions and in particular wanted to know about his famous son’s journey into the NBA.

Shout to @rapsody — she started a really important discussion about journalism in Hip-Hop and how artists, the audience and media sit in the current climate. Where are we now? How do we get better?

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists that will shape what comes next.
I sat down with @Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to perform the United States National Anthem for the #NFL game between the #ChicagoBears and the #Eagles, and it was incredible to do so with love and respect for a great nation.
However, a huge wave of racist criticism has emerged.
