WorldCafe 'You know, this is supposed to be taken care of by now,' We all thought Dr. King was going to take it to the goal line. The billionaires club did too and his assassination was ordered. As a child, I remember how sad I was thinking no one could replace Dr. King. No one ever did.

WorldCafe ✌💜

WorldCafe Saw her a few years back. It was hot as heck out, Florida humidity too, and she just kept rockin. Pretty impressive performance

WorldCafe You should thank the Obama Administration for making 'protest songs' in vogue again over false narratives....

WorldCafe ❤️

WorldCafe I love Aunt Mavis. Once when she was performing at DakotaMpls she told the crowd she is an older lady now, but she once was a fox. She said something like 'I used to be Beyonce back in the day...' Truth be told, she's still a fox!
