civil rights

Black History Month should be a time of celebration of achievement and honest reflection on the impediments to freedom for all. Civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer is one of many who broke [...]

Biologically, I’m black and white. As an adoptee with brown skin from a very diverse family, I’m grateful that my mother (who happens to have skin much lighter than mine) provided all kinds of [...]

Those challenging the status quo of violence and real structural racism had every reason to reject an America that continued to fail to deliver equality. But they didn’t. They overcame instead.

The nation’s capital, one would think, would be the freest in our Constitutional Republic. That assumes, of course, the Constitution is what elected leaders uphold. As we’ve seen throughout the [...]

Ahhhh. Barnstable County, Massachusetts. To most Americans, it has no special meaning. But when the CDC strongly “recommended” everyone wear masks indoors based on what happened there this [...]

#Juneteenth doesn’t belong to one group of people. It belongs to all Americans. It’s a testament to the unity of both black and white people who went to great lengths to break the chains of bondage.

Music artistry reaches people in ways that other forms of expression cannot. It’s why Christian artists who have a national platform have both opportunity and an incredible responsibility. [...]

Women’s History Month. I’m all for it. We should celebrate anyone (like these fearless women) who has helped to positively shape the greatest nation on earth. And yes, my American exceptionalism [...]

04/07/21 UPDATE: Fox 23 News reports 4 determined to have died in the Capitol Riot. All were Trump supporters. 11/1/21 UPDATE: Factcheck.org (you know, another mostly useless fact-checking [...]

Life is filled with irony. Last year “feminists” were celebrating women’s equality declaring #TheFutureIsFemale; now men can be “women” merely by saying so. Smart phones provide more access to [...]

Juneteenth should be a reminder to never see any group of humans as non-persons. It never works out well for the ones victimized by such evil arrogance. Today, the most marginalized and [...]

You can't fight (alleged or actual) racism with more...racism. You can't denounce prejudice and the violence that accompanies it with more...prejudice.

How is it that celebrities like Oprah see negative racial disparities in every facet of American life, except in the one industry that kills for a living? Oprah recently opined about the [...]

The NAACP has forgotten its history. Apparently, free speech is no longer a civil right. Who knew? “I Have a Dream” would be erased from our collective memory. A former slave, by the name of [...]

The tyranny of Jim Crow could not withstand the relentless non-violence of freedom fighters. It took everyday people, both black and white, to stand against a ruthless racist ideology that was [...]

***UPDATE: 06/04/18 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of cake artist Jack Phillips’ First Amendment rights! Read more here. No matter how many times the leftist ACLU wants to compare LGBT [...]

The NAACP finds racism in every facet of American life, except for in the one industry that kills human beings for a living. But Planned Parenthood, the leading killer of unarmed black lives, has [...]

Finally! NFL players across the country took a knee to protest the systemic racism and unjustified deaths that have plagued black communities for decades. Using their broadcast platform, [...]

Why is it that the self-proclaimed evangelists of tolerance always seem to have a zero-tolerance policy? Tech giants that run the world’s largest platforms of public discourse—Google, Facebook [...]

I love museums. Historical perspectives enrich our current perspectives…sometimes even change them. Recently, I went to a museum that, literally, touched my soul—Motown Records. I had a little [...]

If you abort over 325,000 human beings a year, you’re going to abort the facts, too. One would think that actual parenthood would be part of Planned Parenthood’s mission. The abortion [...]

Ahhhh, the Huffington Post—all the fake news that’s fit to print. Pro-abortion icon, Gloria Steinem, doesn’t want to own her radical abortion activism. And leftist news outlets are more than [...]

It seems we have a government who increasingly, since the establishment of this great nation, thinks that in order to ‘promote the general welfare’ it needs to generally promote welfare for all. [...]

Skin color doesn’t confer upon anyone omniscience or exemption from criticism. So, I’m an equal opportunity scrutinizer, especially when it comes to some of our civil rights icons. I can [...]

I’ve not been a fan of the National Urban League’s leftist ideology since 2010. That’s when I stopped my daily diet of fake news from mainstream media. Now, the National Urban…I’ll say [...]

This article has been updated on 10/15/16 from the original 2013 post to include current statistics.  It’s quite popular to join the fight against human sex trafficking. On college campuses [...]

Dear Colin Kaepernick, I hear you. And so do millions across the country. As a professional athlete, you actually have more sway than pastors. Welcome to a culture driven by the worship of [...]

Today’s my birthday. El Cinco de Ry-o is what we call it in my house. My friends and family get to celebrate that I was born. But I almost never was. Many say I “should have been [...]

Things have really gone down the toilet. Literally. Corporate America, the bastion of all things ethical (cough, cough), is now forcing its public potty policies on the rest of America. Why do [...]

Frederick Douglass was motivated by God to pursue absolute moral truth. Too many movements, today, are motivated by propaganda and pursue a relativist "truth".

No. You don't have to first solve the world's other injustices to be pro-life. Anti-black genocide campaign on Purdue campus has #BlackLivesMatter activists scrambling for distractions.

Islamic terrorism goes back centuries. It’s not fear of Islam that drives many to denounce such violence. It’s humanity.

Human history is filled with injustices…and victories over them. Slavery abolitionists in this country were often often defeated legally, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s why many [...]

Your support makes our life-affirming work possible. From hundreds of hours of diligent research comes our unconventional creative media that fearlessly illuminates truth. From over 40 keynoted [...]

The world is moved by music. There is, perhaps, no more compelling construction than a melody to elevate and embolden a cause. Anti-slavery abolitionists understood its power and its ability to [...]

#BlackLivesMatter? When? And where? Apparently they only matter in jail or on the streets but never in the womb, in an abortion mill, or in an intact married (husband/wife) family…never.

So-called “progressives” love moving forward with their reconstructed versions of history. The taxpayer-funded Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery is supposed to be a place that [...]

On July 9, 1868, a monumental shift happened in the legal landscape. Slavery had just been abolished by the 13th Amendment as an institution three years prior, and now black people were finally [...]

We are a country of laws. Our Constitution’s goal, in part, to “establish justice” relies heavily on a handful of people across the country given the awesome power and responsibility as judges. [...]

Fresh off a stinging courtroom defeat, the national NAACP leadership reveals how little it considers its legacy. They sued an actual black (biracial) man for “harming” its reputation for [...]

The NAACP loses huge court battle against The Radiance Foundation. Radiance wins free speech victory over NAACP's attempt to silence speech.

  I’m a designer. I love the shiny silver products created by Apple. But when those products become philosophical pontifications in Op-Eds and news media campaigns of misinformation, I want [...]

Hollywood lives in a pretend world on a daily basis. So, it’s no surprise on Oscar night, the imaginary is passed off as reality. Patricia Arquette, millionaire actress, waxed ineloquently about [...]

We live in a hashtag world. It’s much easier to deal with a few emotionally charged words than the fact that those words misrepresent reality. #BlackLivesMatter. Well, it depends. This whole [...]

My heart is broken. Another young man, because of poor decisions, has died prematurely. And it never had to happen. What has followed has turned a tragic death into an absurd circus of rioting, [...]

This year marks the 49th anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It was a long time coming. Justice, sometimes, takes a while. But this monumental piece of civil rights [...]

*A speech adapted from this article was delivered at Live Action’s #MarchOnMedia rally outside of ABC News offices in DC on August 8th, 2013. Lila Rose and Live Action are calling out the media [...]

Dear Cecile Richards, Please stop abusing civil rights history to justify your present-day killing fields. Martin Luther King Jr’s memory is not a dummy that you can manipulate like a [...]
