Black Love Throughout History
Real Relationships
Because it’s Black History Month, we want to honor one of our culture’s greatest love stories: that of Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. Beyond sharing their talents as actors with the world, they turned their love for their people into activism during the Civil Rights Movement. They were so about that life that the two served as emcees at the 1963 March on Washington. Brother Ossie also delivered the eulogy at Malcolm X’s funeral. In a world where people are increasingly about themselves, their dedication to each other for 57 years and to the culture should be a reminder to us all that there are rewards in seeing a bigger picture.

Very Important News
The big news of the week is that Donald Trump was acquitted in his impeachment trial, but did you happen to hear his State of the Union address? In the speech, he attempted to woo Black voters by listing all the things he says he’s done for the community. Are you buying it? Rep. Ayanna Pressley is not.
Plus, what side of the line are you on as it relates to Gayle King’s questions about Kobe Bryant’s sexual assault case? Are she and Oprah actively trying to tear down successful Black men or should we hold our men accountable regardless of their power and influence?
