After an appeals court ruled against the Fearless Fund for black women-run startups, critically acclaimed actor @WendellPierce speaks out. Why he shared his experience with modern racism. “I wanted to show the damaging effect of when bigotry is memorialized in law.”

If I could bottle certain memories to share... I’d choose recollections of those times I spent w/the nation’s #Black priests, sisters & seminarians during their joint national gatherings, beginning for me in the early 1980s. catholicreview.org/take-hear… #Blog #FaithBlog #BlackCatholic

This portrait combines elements of Haitian art history with the legacy of French colonialism in New Orleans. It is a tribute to the Venerable Henriette Delille, the founder of the Sisters of the Holy Family. Painted by Haitian artist Ulrick Jean Pierre, the artwork pays homage to both the vibrant cultural heritage of Haiti and the significant contributions of Delille to New Orleans' black community.
Henriette DeLille, a Louisiana creole of color and Catholic religious sister, founded the Sisters of the Holy Family in 1842 and served as their first mother superior. The order is the second-oldest surviving black Catholic confraternity in the U.S... instagram.com/p/CuoqT8ju2Q2

BREAKING: Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act is reintroduced in Congress!
This bicameral legislation would prohibit the death penalty at the federal level, and require re-sentencing of those on the federal death row.
CMN Executive Director @KrisanneVMurphy responds.
I just reintroduced my bill to end the federal death penalty with @RepPressley.
The death penalty is a failed, unjust policy – and it’s time to prohibit the deeply flawed practice once and for all.

If you are ever in Atlanta, I highly recommend visiting the Lyke House. Had a wonderful time there yesterday, and their gallery on Black Catholic history is fantastic.
