Today marks 10 years since the start of the Flint Water Crisis. A decade later, kids are still sick, the city is not done replacing lead pipes and families still haven’t seen a cent from settlement funds theguardian.com/us-news/2024…

My mother wasn’t a prop. She was a peace advocate before she met my father and was instrumental in him speaking out against the Vietnam War. Please understand…my mama was a force. Here’s what I wrote about her a few years ago: huffpost.com/entry/coretta-s… #CorettaScottKing
