As Americans, we endeavor to form a more perfect union that truly establishes justice and equality for all. I believe a deeper understanding of the 14th Amendment is a critical jumping off point. Our hope with this series is to illuminate the beauty that is the promise of America and to share a message of connection and shared humanity so that we will be able to better understand and celebrate our different experiences as Americans and promote progress toward the true equality promised to all persons under the 14th Amendment.

Dope! Great find Ale!

New shirts or sweaters? I'm not getting my hopes up for new music.

Thanks for clearing things.

DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Fresh Prince and a Grammy boycott that set the tone for three more decades of rap — and culture https://theundefeated.com/features/dj-jazzy-jeff-the-fresh-prince-and-a-grammy-boycott-that-set-the-tone-for-three-more-decades-of-rap-and-culture/ ------------- It's an older article but it's still interesting. I knew about the boycott but it's always great to read more about it.

Great stuff! Fire as always!

Why do they hate each other? This is new to me.

I loved it! It was really emotional. Loved the James tribute and the conversation with Janet. The final week of filming was great to see.

Great trailer! Need to find a way to see it because HBO Max is not available in Belgium.

Great stuff! Hopefully this place will get some more visitors and more action. :-)

This looks amazing. And can’t believe the Janet Hubert took part in this. Looking forward to hear that conversation.

Great news. Hope JJFP will do some music during the show.

Probably my second favorite album. Code Red will always be my favorite JJFP album.

Yeah, I love ‘I’m All That’. Great intro to the album. I also like ‘You Saw My Blinker’.

What’s your favorite song on the album?
