Civil Rights & Social Justice

Rev. Jesse Jackson has spent the last six decades advocating for equal rights and economic justice for low-income Black communities. 

Black History Month transformed America by restoring hidden histories, shaping education, and empowering Black communities.

The question sitting under everything right now is: Does NABJ actually understand how to operate under authoritarian pressure?

Black History Month's purpose of education and remembrance is threatened by commercialization and performative gestures, requiring commitment beyond February.

Black History Month marks 100 years, but the fight to protect Black history is far from over amid censorship and erasure.

Pioneering Black leaders transformed society through education, activism, and resilience, laying a foundation for progress.

Besides Don Lemon, federal agents arrested Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort — who went live on Facebook — and Jamael Lydell Lundy.

This moment cannot be separated from a broader political climate in which Black people who dare to use their voices are increasingly targeted, censored, and criminalized for telling the truth.

Georgia Fort and Don Lemon, two independent Black journalists, were arrested for covering an anti-ICE protest in St. Paul, Minnesota.

A nationwide “economic blackout” is being staged on Friday, as more state officials take action to end ICE cooperation and hold agents accountable.

Law enforcement leaders say ICE has violated the civil rights of U.S. citizens, citing incidents in which they have pulled guns on off-duty police officers of color, demanding proof of citizenship.

It’s a question that immediately raises a deeper historical one. Not just whether white participation ever existed, but what it actually meant, and what people imagine it would mean now.
