@lawyerscomm On Tuesday, a federal court issued a ruling on the controversial classroom censorship provision of the Arkansas’ LEARNS Act, Section 16. The court upheld student’s right to receive information and ideas and issued a partial injunction, prohibiting Arkansas from disciplining Ms. Ruthie Walls and Mr. Colton Gilbert, teachers and plaintiffs in the case, from simply teaching about Critical Race Theory (CRT), using CRT or parts of CRT to teach other topics, or referencing parts of CRT in their teachings. The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and civil rights attorneys Mike Laux and Austin Porter Jr. filed a complaint and motion for preliminary injunction against Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the state of Arkansas on behalf of the Arkansas State Conference of the NAACP, two Little Rock teachers and two students attending the historic Central High School. The plaintiffs are challenging the constitutionality of Arkansas’ controversial classroom censorship law and the discriminatory treatment of students taking the Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies course in public schools. They have asked the federal court to enact a temporary injunction, preventing the law from being further enforced while the case is litigated. #teacherappreciationweek #civilrights #educationalrights #FreedomtoLearn #freedomsummer2024

Post 3/3 Start of the Celebrity block out list (2nd slide) being conducted, blocking any celebrities who continue to be silent while they gallivant in all their opulence at events like the Met Gala where tickets are $75,000 per person, not including the egregiously expensive outfits they wear. (And wait until you hear about the theme laughing in our face about the current times and state of the world. Celebrities know what they do, and mock us on camera.) Block anyone who attended the Met, and anyone who continues to stay silent rolling in OUR money that makes them that famous. :) Remember, no one is free until we are all free!

Does protest have to be popular for it to be effective? ⁠ ⁠ Today’s protestors are engaging in civil disobedience by boycotting, blocking highways, occupying buildings, and more. These tried and true tactics to voice dissent have been employed in past movements such as the Civil Rights era, labor movement, and anti-war activism. ⁠ ⁠ Yet these tactics weren’t always popular at the time they were employed. In 1961, a Gallup poll showed that the majority of U.S. Americans believed the Civil Rights demonstrations actually “hurt” the cause of integration in the South. But because of the persistent actions of protestors and advocates, the South was desegregated. Now looking back, the majority of Americans view those demonstrations favorably. ⁠ ⁠ By design, protests are not typically easy or convenient. We should support movements while they’re happening, not just after they win, because they're essential to winning change.⁠ ⁠ #shiftthenarrative #protests #civilrights

To make it clear if it wasn’t before on where I stand. Post 2/3 Let me make it known now that we are not friends, or moots, or anything close if you have been silent and continue to be silent on the ongoing Genocide of Palestinians and many others suffering for the big white supremacist War Machine. I implore you to change that and speak up on behalf of these people, if you’re human at all. To start: I post near daily information on my instagram stories, from instagram and TikTok, and I also repost a lot on Twitter (X). All can be found under @spitandkiss for all platforms. I also implore you to consider donating to any fundraisers being used to aid Palestinians to escape Rafah, or until/if borders open again aiding their continued survival during this time. One such organization #OperationOliveBranch can help you find families to donate to, as well as partnered #ProjectPassTheHat #PasstheHat which you can find plenty of information on by checking out Erin Hattamer’s TikTok page and insta @erinhatta You can also search and join local Pro Palestine protests, since voices and numbers are a big advocate for change. Consider also helping by engaging in planned Strikes such as today May 10th, which includes no work, no spending or any monetary transactions, and refraining from posting anything other than amplifying Palestinian voices and those of others who are disenfranchised. There is also a Celebrity block out being conducted, blocking any celebrities who continue to be silent while they gallivant in all their opulence at events like the Met Gala where tickets are $75,000 per person, not including the egregiously expensive outfits they wear.

Block anyone who attended the Met, and anyone who continues to stay silent rolling in OUR money that makes them that famous. :) And lastly, stream Hinds Hall by @macklemore on all platforms as all monetary gain will be donated to @unrwa and it is being censored and hidden despite violent pro Israel propaganda being left uncensored on the same platforms.

Please join us at Orangeland Gallery to experience a special pop-up art exhibit by our eighth- and seventh-grade students: “Can art amend history?” The guys have been studying the artwork of Titus Kaphar and Kehinde Wiley, who tell the stories of people left out of history and out of art, the stories and poems written on the walls of the Angel Island Immigration Station, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, Gabriel Coakley, who was enslaved but gained his freedom, moved to Washington, D.C., and earned enough money to purchase all of his enslaved relatives and bring them to live with him, and the civil rights movement and its leaders, including Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, John Lewis, and others. All of our Grade 8 and 7 students then made drawings, paintings, and iMovies depicting the people and stories they’ve been studying, all of which are on display at Orangeland Gallery through Saturday, May 11, with a special reception Saturday from 12:00pm to 5:00pm.

Join us in celebrating her impactful legacy! 🌟 ⁠ ⁠ #AAPIHeritageMonth #YuriKochiyaka #CivilRights #Activism

. Rustin Film del 2023 diretto da George C. Wolfe, candidato agli Oscar per il miglio attore protagonista a Colman Domingo. Rustin Bayard, è un noto attivista ed amico di Martin Luther King, ha in mente una marcia pacifica a Washington per i diritti umani, non sarà semplice organizzarla. Dopo Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, George C. Wolfe racconta di nuovo una storia sul tema afroamericano, con l'ideazione e progettazione della marcia più famosa d'America, in particolare del suo ideatore, un personaggio che sinceramente non conoscevo e che mi ha fatto piacere scoprire. Rispetto ad altri film del genere questo l'ho trovato meno emozionante, diciamo che mi prendeva di meno, forse anche dovuto al fatto che si tratta di organizzare la marcia, quindi vediamo tante scene di riunioni, abbastanza statiche, infatti punto a favore del film, la colonna sonora, molto ritmata ed azzeccata che riesce a tenere su il film donandogli ritmo in momenti che se no sarebbero stati molto statici e a rischio di creare noia. Una storia vera che forse non emoziona al massimo ma che comunque riesce a prenderti, anche grazie ad una bellissima colonna sonora ed un grande prova attoriale da parte del protagonista, per conoscere la storia dietro alla più grande marcia d'America, consigliamo la visione se si vuole approfondire questa parte della storia americana o per conoscere una storia vera ed emozionante. Il film è su Netflix. #rustin #rustinbayard #rustinmovie #netflix #georgecwolfe #colmandomingo #civilrights #afro #blacklivesmatter #martinlutherking #marciasuwashington #washingtonmarch #oscar #academyawards #review #cinereview #moviereview #recensionidifilm #recensione #filmbelli #filmaddict #cinelovers #movielover #themovietasters

As a Civil Rights and Business Law attorney, I often reflect on the pivotal moments that led me to pursue this path. I still remember vividly being glued to the tv during cases like Trayvon Martin’s. These are not just legal battles; they are reminders of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. Trayvon’s case deeply resonated with me and solidified my commitment to advocating for civil rights. His tragic death exposed systemic issues that continue to affect marginalized communities today. It’s a stark reminder that the fight for justice is far from over. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the disparities and injustices faced by many in our society. These experiences fueled my passion to become a voice for the voiceless and a champion for equality under the law. Becoming a Civil Rights attorney wasn’t just about practicing law; it was about making a difference in people’s lives. It’s about standing up against discrimination, advocating for fair treatment, and striving to create a more just society for all. While the road ahead may be challenging, I’m committed to using my legal expertise to fight for justice, uphold civil rights, and empower individuals and businesses alike. Together, we can make a lasting impact and work towards a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect under the law. #CivilRights #JusticeForAll #LegalAdvocacy #Equality #TrayvonMartin #SocialJustice

Just returned from an amazing trip to Washington DC for the Arkansas State Chamber Fly-In and the Unveiling of the Daisy Bates Statue at the United States Capitol! The State Chamber Fly-In was an incredible opportunity to connect with chamber members, advocate for important issues, and make our voices heard on Capitol Hill. I enjoyed interacting with people I’ve known for years and making many new connections as well! The highlight of my trip was undoubtedly witnessing the historic unveiling of the Daisy Bates statue at the United States Capitol. It was a deeply moving experience to see Daisy Bates, a fearless civil rights activist, honored in such a meaningful way. Her legacy serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice for all Americans. Being part of this momentous occasion was truly humbling, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to witness history being made. I’m back home now, feeling inspired and energized to continue advocating for positive change in Arkansas and for my clients! #StateChamberFlyIn #DaisyBatesStatue #WashingtonDC #CivilRights #Advocacy #UnitedStatesCapitol 🇺🇸

Peace is insufficient without liberation.” —Kwame Turé formerly Stokely Carmichael #KwameTure #StokelyCarmichael #SocialJustice #Liberation #CivilRights #Peace #Activism #PeaceAndJustice #word #fl🌸wersbookclub

“Mosquito Beach is a .13-mile strip of land that served African Americans during the Jim Crow era, when nearby Folly Beach was segregated. The beach began as a gathering spot for workers at a nearby oyster factory in the 1920s and 1930s. A store selling seafood and drinks first opened in the 1930s. Other businesses followed in the 1940s and 1950s. Mosquito Beach lies along a tidal marsh historically known for the large mosquito population that gave the beach its name. By the 1960s, the beach provided African American leisure seekers with music venues, pavilions, restaurants, and a hotel. Mosquito Beach’s businesses as well as the land were owned by African Americans. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2019” -South Carolina Historical Marker The Mosquito Beach Historic District became part of the NPS African American Civil Rights Network in 2021 and the Pine Tree Hotel at Mosquito Beach is currently being rehabilitated using a National Park Service Civil Rights Grant.
