Malcolm-Jamal Warnerโ€™s powerful words on endurance and Black history live on after his passing.

Today, June 1, marks the day the guns went quiet in Tulsa's Greenwood District...but only after 18 hours of terror had reduced Black Wall Street to ash. Up to 300 people killed. Over 1,200 homes and businesses burned. 10,000 people left homeless and robbed of everything they had built.

The fires stopped on June 1, 1921. The racism that lit them did not.

No one was ever convicted. The massacre went unspoken in history books for decades โ€” not by accident, but by design. What was erased was not just a neighborhood, but evidence of what Black excellence, safety, and self-determination could look like โ€” and what white supremacy will do to destroy it.

We remember Greenwood not just as a tragedy, but as a testament. Remembrance is resistance.

A remarkable milestone was reached in Maryland as Daisy Rhem, a vibrant 109-year-old Black woman, celebrated her birthday. Born in 1916, Daisy became one of the oldest members of her community, with her family and friends marveling at her longevity and vibrant spirit. While headlines called her possibly the oldest living person in the state, the claim was not officially verified, but it certainly sparked conversation.

Her longevity became a source of pride for both her family and the local community, with Daisy sharing that her secret to a long life included staying active, holding strong to her faith, and, most importantly, treating others with kindness. While the title of Maryland's oldest living resident may still have been up for grabs, Daisy's milestone remained undeniableโ€”a living testament to the resilience and strength of those who came before her.

Her story also invited a deeper reflection on the untold histories of Black elders whose wisdom and experiences were often overlooked. As people celebrated her incredible milestone, Daisy Rhemโ€™s life challenged many to think about how society honored the lived experiences of people who had seen more than a century of American history unfold. Her journey reminded us all of the rich, untold stories that shaped communities and our collective legacy.
