Normally, every Friday, I share other great content (with some added context) to dive into over the weekend.

Black Farmers Have Been Robbed of Land. A New Bill Would Give Them a “Quantum Leap” Toward Justice.

This bill is long overdue and I hope it gets passed. From the article:

Meanwhile, the near-complete wipeout of Black farmland ownership since the early 20th century—drivenlargelyby racist federal and state policies—represents a transfer of wealth from Black to primarily white Americans “conservatively” worth $300 billion, Thomas added. That handover contributes to a persistent racial wealth gap—today, the median white family is 12 times wealthier than its Black counterpart.

Les Twins | FRONTROW | World of Dance 2014 #WODHI

I got into a YouTube rabbit hole recently and dove deep into dance battles (the things we do at 3 am). The best one I ran across was from the Les Twins. You may recognize them from their work with Beyonce.

Take a moment to pick up some new dance moves via YouTube.

Leave today better than yesterday ✌️.
