GPS pioneer and mathematician Gladys West has died. She was 95. Her calculations helped produce extremely accurate modeling of the Earth's shape, laying the foundation for modern global positioning system technology. West was born in rural Virginia during segregation. In 1956, she was hired as a computer programmer at a Navy base in Virginia, where she was one of only four Black employees. Her work went largely unrecognized for years, though she was later acknowledged as one of the hidden figures of the era. Despite being considered the mother of GPS, West said she still preferred using a paper map when driving.

At 15, Dorothy Counts walked through hate to become the first Black student to integrate Harding High in Charlotte, NC, in 1957. She held her head high, and her courage shattered barriers and lit the path for generations. We must always honor her bravery.

Nothing's your fault, it's everyone else's fault for allowing you in. She's a refugee,,, because it 'was so bad', and she literally brings the exact same behavior with her to the West. Bring the 3rd world in, become the 3rd world—never rang more true than right here.

“I do in fact hope she never works a regular job again. That is literally my goal for the rest of her life that she’s on this earth.” “I hope that she is begging on the street corner for change. “Or maybe she has to sell her body to make ends meet.” “I pray for the absolute worst possible outcome for her life humanly possible.” “I’m going to do whatever I can to make that happen.”

Kiki Shepard, the beloved co-host of Showtime at the Apollo, has passed away at 74. In the 1980's at a time where women of color were rarely centered on television she stood as a symbol of elegance, glam, excellence, and cultural pride. A Howard University graduate who finished in the top 10% of her class and a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Shepard carried the legacy of Black excellence with her wherever she went. Kiki Shepard leaves behind a legacy that is both timeless and deeply felt. #KikiShepard #BETRemembers

It’s great to see Morgan State University and the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum honor Henrietta Lacks, the Black woman whose immortal cells changed the world — without her consent. Her legacy is a reminder of both injustice and resilience. We must honor her this #WomensHistoryMonth and beyond! 🎥: Kenneth Lam, The Baltimore Sun

The Ghost of War Memorial will forever haunt Governor Susan Kihika and rightfully so! We will never forget how during her reign she made it so that one of the most effective hospitals in Nakuru county closed down indefinitely whilst she mismanaged health sector in Nakuru County! Thank you Sen Sifuna for holding her accountable in Senate Today! #SisiNdioSifuna

Do you guys remember Dr. Leana Wen? She is a Chinese-born, naturalized American citizen who immediately wanted to lock down the unvaccinated during Covid. She was also a former president of Planned Parenthood. She was positively giddy during Covid. I mean to tell you, she absolutely LOVED the attention, the fame, and the authority she felt during the pandemic. And she basically wanted to criminalize being unvaccinated. She wanted there to be laws preventing unvaccinated people from going in public. Never forget who these people are and how quickly they became authoritarians.
