When you cross Democrats, you get a political argument. When you cross the MAGA right, today’s GOP, you get threats of violence. And not metaphorical threats: real ones. The kind of threats that force a sitting member of Congress to hire armed guards because she dared anger their god-king.

Fact : Bojangles was informed he wasn’t allowed to hold Shirley Temple’s hand while filming the stair scene in the film, “The Little Colonel.”

She insisted anyway and grabbed his hand during the act.

This scene became the first time where integrated dance partners were filmed dancing together on film.

She also credited him for making her a better dancer throughout her career.

In other words…

It’s hard to live in color when you just see black and white.

In a world full of hate,

Be A Light. 💡

Thirteen years ago today, 17-year-old Jordan Davis was shot and killed by a white man because he and his friends were playing “loud music” at a Florida gas station. After his senseless death, Jordan’s mother, @RepLucyMcBath, dedicated her life to ending gun violence, becoming a national leader with Moms Demand Action and @Everytown.

In Jordan’s honor, Lucy ran for and won a seat in Congress on a gun safety platform. She was re-elected to her fourth term last year. In that time, she helped pass the first major gun safety legislation in nearly three decades—the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

We are forever grateful to @RepLucyMcBath for turning her anguish over Jordan’s senseless death into action. We’ll continue to follow her lead. In Jordan’s honor, we fight for stronger gun laws alongside Lucy to spare other families this same pain.
