Praying for all of us that are broken or have experienced brokenness - all that have experienced life have experienced, in some small or large way, brokenness. #Grateful for all of the broken parts and those that help me put them back together - stronger and more resilient 🙏🏽

🏈⚜️ WHO DAT! Sixty years ago today, New Orleans became a football city.
On Nov. 1, 1966, the NFL awarded the city its 16th franchise, giving birth to the team that would officially become the Saints just two months later.

What an unforgettable surprise for these young men—a visit from President Obama at the OPC. For more than a decade, @MBK_Alliance has worked to ensure boys and young men know they are seen, valued & supported. The excitement on their faces here shows why that mission matters.
Last week, President Obama met with young leaders from the @MBK_Alliance the Obama Presidential Center. They shared more about the work they’re doing at school, their goals for the future, and even gave me an update on their class elections. Take a look!

On behalf of the Government and people of Barbados, I extend warm congratulations to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on 47 years of Independence.
As one of our closest neighbours and dearest friends, your celebration holds a special place in our hearts. Generations of family, friendship and trade have bound our nations together, and the waters between us continue to connect our people and our futures.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines remains a strong and essential link in our Caribbean chain. Your proud heritage, the courage and creativity of your people, and your commitment to regional solidarity have enriched our Caribbean civilisation.
As your anthem declares, “Our faith will see us through.” May that faith continue to inspire your journey.
Happy Independence, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Barbados celebrates with you, today and always.

This birthday, we honor Mahalia Jackson, the gospel legend whose legacy lives on at the Obama Presidential Center, from the Museum’s “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” soundscape to the café named in her honor with support from the Judy and Peter Blum Kovler Foundation.

Lonnie Bunch has called the Smithsonian a “national classroom” where all Americans can better understand our shared history. As he prepares to step down, I’m ever grateful for his insistence on telling the full American story. A remarkable legacy. ICYMI: smithsonianmag.com/blogs/air…

When I was 17, my high school, St. Augustine, played in Baton Rouge. Dale Brown was there to recruit our star forward, Donald Royal. I asked him for an interview for our school paper. He was very gracious and answered all of my questions. It was the first big interview I ever had published. I will always remember Coach Brown’s kindness to a kid reporter. RIP 🙏🏾
The LSU Basketball family is saddened to announce the passing of legendary coach Dale Brown at the age of 90.
