Who would’ve ever thought a man from Atlanta Georgia would change the entire world. It’s easy to forget how we got here to this point, but it hits me even harder now that I’m a father. To witness my kid play with other children and not see color, a white bathroom, a black bathroom, a white water fountain, a black water fountain, a white lunch line, a black lunch line, a white neighborhood, and a black neighborhood...I TRULY HONOR YOU FOR THIS!!! Although we still have much work to do to reach true equality...YOU MADE THE DIFFERENCE!!! #mlk #saviour #activist #brother #equality #genderequality #freedomofchoice #lgbtequality #ethnicequality #togetherwecanmakeadifference #wehonoryou #inyourmemory #martinlutherking (at Washington, District of Columbia)

I was in the art supply store and speaking on the phone with my friend Alex when I received a text from Selena. It was July 27, 2021 at 5:27pm. “I don’t know if you saw the news about Joey, but wanted to make sure you are ok.” Before asking what the news was, or doing and internet search, I already knew. “Oh no…” I searched his name and saw the many headlines. I told Alex I had to go. I left the store and just outside, I found a tree guard—the closest place for me to sit down. I felt panicky and dizzy. I was shaking. Selena called. I had feared this news many times… I felt numb. The conversation was short, yet comforting… I couldn’t find the right words…I was thankful that she had reached out and that I received the hint of the news before seeing it on social media. I had to call Traci. She answered immediately but had not yet heard. I told her to sit down and to brace herself. “Joey died.” (1/6—Continued in the comments.) 🖤 … I apologize if the thread is difficult to follow but they are numbered. * * * #inyourmemory #kindredspirits #joeyjordison #arttherapy (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CghoT3wO_1K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
