#RestInPower to actress and comedian Erica Ash, who passed away at the age of 46. Ash was known for her memorable roles in "Real Husbands of Hollywood," "Survivor's Remorse," and "MadTV." Her talent and the laughter she brought into our homes through her TV roles will never be forgotten. We send our deepest condolences to her family and friends at this time.

Always happy to join MSNBC’s "Morning Joe." Today, we unpacked the historic potential of our nation’s first Black female president and the path forward for Vice President Kamala Harris. My key takeaway: hate has no place in a functioning democracy. The sad reality is that the racist and sexist attacks we’re already seeing are a symptom of the current political climate. That doesn’t mean we should normalize them. As we look toward November, it’s crucial that we #StandUpforBlackWomen. The world is watching, and it’s time for us to come together, not become further divided. Watch my full interview now on the NAACP YouTube Channel. https://bit.ly/4cXipqn

"The NAACP is saddened to mourn yet another Black life taken too soon at the hands of police violence. Make no mistake - while Deputy Grayson is responsible for Sonya's death, lawmakers are responsible for empowering him to commit this heinous crime." —Derrick Johnson, NAACP President and CEO Read our full statement.
