The burden of working for racial justice is laid on the very people bearing the brunt of the injustice and not the powerful people who maintain it. I say to you: I refuse. — NIkole Hannah-Jones On April 23, 1899, Georgia’s Caucasian citizenry gathered in Newnan to participate in one of white America’s greatest traditions: They were going to lynch Sam Hose. Hose was a Black man who was accused of brutally murdering his employer, the employer’s wife and the […]
TV Judge Lauren Lake used to argue in courtrooms against prosecutors as a criminal defense attorney, but today, she’s calling on voters everywhere to give former prosecutor Vice President Kamala Harris a shot. Lake, who hosts “Paternity Matters” and “We The People” (produced by theGrio’s parent company Allen Media Group), says in the era of Donald Trump and Supreme Court rulings protecting presidents from criminal prosecution, voters shouldn’t dismiss Harris because she once worked in a flawed justice system. “As […]
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee was laid to rest this week in Houston after losing her battle with cancer on July 19. The 74-year-old longtime congresswoman’s signature bill in recent years was HR 40, which would create a U.S. commission to study reparations for African-American citizens.

I’m not a fan of former President Donald Trump, so when he accepted the invitation from the National Association of Black Journalists, an organization I’m a part of, I was not enthused about his appearance. Because a duck is going to quack, Trump popped out and showed … us … exactly who he is and who he has always […]
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is set to launch a battleground tour next week with her yet-to-be-named running mate, with stops in seven swing states stretching from Pennsylvania to Nevada, her campaign said Tuesday. The planned tour is the latest sign of the whirlwind pace at which Harris has gone from President Joe Biden’s supportive running mate to likely Democratic nominee ready to identify her No. 2 and take on Republican Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance. […]
Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. Congressman Tim Burchette referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as a “DEI hire” in racially coded subtext suggesting she is unqualified for her position because she is a woman of color. Not only are the vice president’s qualifications undeniable, but the slight is representative of a deeper and more organized and troubling attack on the very civil rights protections […]

Trump, 78, spewed disparaging insults against his Democratic opponent, […]
Vice President Kamala Harris brought out hip-hop’s biggest stars and trolled Donald Trump with song lyrics and one-liners as she delivered a fiery speech at a campaign rally in Atlanta prosecuting the case against his candidacy for president of the United States. “He does not walk the walk,” Harris said of Trump, her 2024 Republican opponent, on Tuesday evening at the Georgia State Convocation Center. Countering the former president’s misleading accusations that as a “border czar” for the Biden administration, […]
