Today I pay tribute to a legendary Lansing family that has broken barriers across generations and continues to make history to this very day. The story begins in 1927 when the family matriarch, Ms. Hortense Canady, was born in Chicago…

Today I honor a man who was a trailblazer in athletics and education and used his talents to break barriers and change the lives of generations of young people. Dr. Samuel Edward Holloway lived to serve others: his Nation, his community…

While we often recognize noteworthy and acclaimed personalities, we have so many other great, unsung heroes and amazing souls who do a ton of heavy lifting with little to no recognition. Yet, if truth be told, they serve as the glue…

this is not just about the fundamental question of human rights, but the economic interest of American workers.

I want everyone to know and to be very clear that every month in the 12th Congressional District is Black History Month. I was born and raised in the most beautiful, Blackest city in the country: the city of Detroit. Countless Black…

Here we go again, sending $17.6 billion of U.S. tax dollars with no conditions attached to Netanyahu's extremist government to drop more bombs on innocent Palestinians. The Israeli Government has already killed 27,000 people, 11,500 of…
