The Cornell 7 are the logical conclusion of the Founding founders' wildest dreams! Many historical narratives are curated, obscuring the country's true DNA. We must teach these truths to fight for accountability.

Full episode out now on Youtube! With guest host @jefordedu

My friends and I were fortunate to have spent Thursday, September 24, 2026, at the Obama Presidential Center on the Southside of Chicago, IL. Although our time in the “windy city” was brief, it was well worth my travel from Charlotte, NC. The displays and artifacts used to document this monumental time in history, when the first Black man was elected (twice) and served as President of the United States of America, are well curated and will hopefully withstand the test of time!🇺🇸-Part 2

There will come a time when everybody will have been against this.

There came a time when everybody was against the apartheid in South Africa.

There came a time when everybody was against McCarthyism.

There came a time when everybody was against enslavement of people.

There came a time when everybody was against the subjugation of women.

There will come a time when everybody will have been against this apartheid state and there was certainly come a time when everybody will been against this genocide.

And, we cannot be silent in the face of this anti-arab anti-islamic outright bigotry.

And we cannot let them gaslight us, as my good brother and friend, @jefordedu reminds us.
