Black male brilliance ♥️👏🏾

We love to see it! Malik Dupont started his aviation journey as a baggage handler at 18 to pay for flight school lessons. Through strategic partnerships, real estate investments, and sheer determination, he managed to acquire a regional charter service and transform it into a commercial fleet. His new airline aims to provide affordable regional flights while creating a dedicated scholarship pipeline for aspiring minority pilots. What an inspiration for the next generation of aviation leaders!

That’s right African and Caribbean countries let’s get our reparations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

African and Caribbean nations on Friday, June 19, 2026 demanded formal apologies from countries that benefited from transatlantic slavery, as well as debt relief and financial compensation, part of an increasingly forceful push ‌for Reparations.

The demands were part of a 19-point reparations plan endorsed at the end of a three-day conference ‌in Ghana, whose U.N. resolution recognising transatlantic slavery as the "gravest crime against humanity" was approved in March despite resistance from Europe and the United States, countries ​which have a legacy in the sprawling human trafficking system that saw millions forcibly taken from their homelands.

The plan was adopted by the African Union and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Commission on Reparatory Justice. It does not mention which specific countries should apologise.

It calls for the establishment of a Global Reparations Fund, comprehensive debt relief and cancellation for affected countries and reforms to international financial institutions to ensure ‌fairer representation for nations in the Global South.

It ⁠also calls for the restitution of looted cultural property and ancestral remains, climate justice financing and steps to address the specific brutalities inflicted on African women and girls during slavery.

And it urges African ⁠countries to grant the right of return and citizenship pathways for diaspora Africans while committing to preserving the coastal forts and castles as memorials.

The U.N. resolution in March was passed with 123 votes in favour, but the United States, Israel and 52 other countries —including European Union ​members and ​Britain — either opposed or abstained.

Black Family University and National African American Parents and Youth let’s all complete the survey

The 2026 Black Census Project is launching its largest effort yet, with a goal of surveying 300,000 Black Americans across the country.

Led by the Black Futures Lab, the initiative seeks to better understand how Black communities are navigating economic uncertainty, voting rights concerns, and attacks on diversity initiatives—while also exploring what Black Americans want the future of opportunity, government, and political power to look like.

Organizers say the project is about more than documenting challenges. It’s also about creating space for Black communities to dream, imagine, and help shape policies that impact future generations.
