145 years later, Mississippi sends a Black senator to Washington! 👏🏾
@scott_colom has become Mississippi's first Black U.S. senator since 1881, nearly a week after 2018 #EBONYPower100 honoree @KeishaBottoms became the first Black woman elected governor in U.S. history.
In a state where generations fought to make Black voices heard, Colom's victory carries the weight of history and the POWER of a vote that can change it.
Let's show Senator-Elect Colom love in the comments below! 🖤
EBONY remembers Irma P. Hall, a beloved actress, educator and poet whose extraordinary talent and undeniable heart made her a treasured figure across the culture.
Best known as Josephine "Big Mama" Joseph in ‘Soul Food,’ Hall made Sunday dinners, tough love and hard-earned wisdom feel like home, capturing the spirit of the women who hold our families together and giving Black cinema one of its most iconic matriarchs.
Born in Beaumont, Texas, and raised in Chicago, Hall graduated from Texas College in 1956 before beginning a career that would touch lives far beyond the screen. From her years as an educator to her award-winning performances in 'A Family Thing' and 'The Ladykillers,' she understood the POWER of using storytelling to educate, connect and uplift others.
Her legacy will live on through the characters she brought to life, the stories she shaped and the generations who will always feel at home around Big Mama's table.
Rest in peace, Irma P. Hall. 🖤
