Abducted and murdered by the KKK #OTD in 1964, Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore didn't receive justice. It was a cold case until decades later, when Moore's brother began his own search for the truth. Rest in power.

We made them because they are important!

Here, #HLC Commissioner Franka Cadee makes it clear… if you make commitments, you should fulfill those commitments!

The language we use matters. That’s why *justice* underpins the framework of the #HLC ’s reports.

But why this term? And why do the words we choose matter so much in the fight for #SRHR ? Let Commissioner Latanya Mapp explain.

Five years ago #OTD , a white supremacist gunman attacked a synagogue in Poway, CA, injuring three and killing one, Lori Gilbert-Kaye.

We will continue to fight antisemitism, white supremacy, and all forms of hate. #TheMarchContinues

Reminder: We still have a long way to go to achieve the #NairobiCommitments .

Here, #HLC Commissioner Friday Okonofua reminds us: Though we’ve come a long way on building #SexualandReproductiveJustice , we have further to go.

17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed #OTD by George Zimmerman, who claimed he shot the teen in self-defense. He was acquitted. The death moved conversations about racial profiling to the national level.

Rest in power, Trayvon. #BlackLivesMatter #TheMarchContinues

Trayvon Martin was born #OTD in 1995.

He was killed in a racist murder in 2012. His death sparked a national conversation about racial profiling and — after the man charged in his killing was acquitted — the Black Lives Matter movement. #TheMarchContinues
