I write SO! MANY! FACTS! that sometimes I’ll see a person in the news and I’ll ask myself how did I get here*? “Did I write a fact about this person already?”

And while I’m slightly (ha!) disorganized, my memory is pretty decent. Which is why I always have so many ridiculous stories to tell y’all.

So, when I saw a post that said I approve of both Al Greens, I thought…BOTH?!

And then I was like, I feel like I wrote about Al Green. BUT WHICH ONE?!

The answer was actually both. Sort of.

Because REALLY, I was writing a post about Alpha Phi Alpha’s Founder’s Day.

And Al Green, activist, previous President of the Houston branch of the NAACP, the US Representative from Texas’s 9th congressional district AND my mama’s hometown, who was arrested in 2012 protesting outside of the Sudanese embassy in DC with activist Martin Luther King III** (isn’t it FUNNY how protest is a first amendment right that people get arrested for when the government don’t like it? ), who presented the first articles of impeachment of 45 in 2017, and again asked to ITMFA in 2019 AND has already stated he’ll be filing articles of impeachment AGAIN (this time for suggesting the us take over the Gaza Strip) is the first lawmaker (y’all know I love a good FIRST) in modern history to be thrown out of a joint session of Congress of State of the Union address, AND a member of A phi A.

Yes. It’s March. But a) I do what I want! b) I was definitely busier this February than I expected to be and c) Black History is every day! Somebody gotta tell it to y’all since 47 is definitely tryna keep it from you!

See you next time!

*Fun Fact! I LOVE the Talking Heads because of course I do. But they were popular when I was a kid and I wasn’t really allowed to go to concerts as a kid, but seeing up and coming rappers at my local roller rink in Compton was perfectly –maybe not perfectly. we definitely had to leave early to avoid trouble *cough*gangs*cough* – okay? Anyway. I never did get to see the Talking Heads, but I DID see David Byrne who played all the old stuff at a festival with The Boy and I didn’t get to see the whole set because of conflicts, but I wouldn’t leave until after they played Burning Down the House. And YES, I am providing a random ass song that somehow seems VERY APPROPRIATE to the current events. OR, maybe I just wanted to share a couple of fun songs with y’all. MY job is just to share facts and sometimes music. YOUR job is pick up what I put down.

** I ALMOST put REVEREND in front of Martin Luther King III because I heard him speak here at the jobby job (this was the ONLY time that I was ever interested in my job’s Reverend Doctor Martin Luther (the) King, Jr day because if you want me to celebrate ML(t)K, Jr day, give me the day off or give me money!. But if you think I was going to miss hearing what ML(t)K, Jr’s middle child, you don’t know me like you think you do). I clearly remember him saying, “I am Not A Minister” but then he proceeded to PREACH DOWN, okay?!
