Reflecting on my days at Tougaloo1869 following the Two Rivers Gala on Friday, where I was honored with the Light of Justice award.

Tougaloo taught me to challenge injustices at every turn and to strive for a more equitable society. It was a full-circle moment.

If a student can be expelled for racist taunts, a congressman (Rep. Mike Collins) can be held accountable for celebrating their behavior.

Racism has no place in Congress or anywhere else in our nation.

Rep. Mike Collins' decision to condone racist behavior at Ole Miss cannot be tolerated.

Join us in calling for the Ethics Committee to launch an investigation into the congressman's actions.…

A Black Woman was victim to pandering, racist remarks and gestures, and hateful speech with the hope of breeding fear, isolation, and retreat.

She marched forward anyway.

I hope racists like Mike Collins took note of that as well.
