Four years ago Quvenzhané Wallis became the youngest Oscar nominee and today she is a published author! She is the first person born in the 21st century to be nominated for an Oscar. Lil Sis is blossoming and feeding creative minds on top of her stellar acting skills! Good for her, and good for all the little ones that will get to read them.

Congratulations, Quvenzhané! Continue to let your light shine and inspire young girls!

White Owner Tells Black Players How They Can Protest Violence Against Black People.

I sincerely hope that the entire team kneels, and he is forced to bench the entire team. Fuck Jerry Jones, and fuck anyone who doesn’t stand up against racism.

But when Brown, 27. does play, don’t be surprised if he raises his right fist during the Star Spangled Banner. It’s a symbol for solidarity and strength as Brown hopes to bring awareness to police brutality and inequality for minorities.

Brown, one of around 30 black players in the NHL, used this silent protest during Thursday’s exhibition game in Sunrise, finding it a middle ground for those who say kneeling for the anthem disrespects the flag. Brown said he spoke with several active military, along with his family before deciding what he felt was right.

Brown spoke to coach Jon Cooper and his Lightning teammates before Thursday’s silent protest. Captain Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan have said they’d support a teammate who protested.

But Brown wasn’t ready to say when, or how often, he’ll raise his fist during the anthem this year.

“It’s kind of hard to just say you’re going to do it one time or throughout the season,” Brown said. “For me, right now, we’re going to keep trying to bring awareness. You want to make sure you’re in the community, you’re backing up what you’re talking about, what you’re supporting, not just talk.”
