🕊️ IN LOVING MEMORY OF HAL WILLIAMS 🕊️
1934 – 2026
We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Hal Williams, who has died at the age of 91.
For generations, Hal Williams brought warmth, humor, strength, and authenticity to our television screens. From his memorable work on “Sanford and Son” to his beloved role as Lester Jenkins on “227,” his presence helped make these classic sitcoms an unforgettable part of television history and Black culture.
His talent reached far beyond a single role. Through decades of work in television and film, Hal Williams built a legacy that will continue to live on through the characters he portrayed, the laughter he gave us, and the generations of viewers who welcomed him into their homes.

🏘️ BIG NEWS: The Largest Pro-Housing Bill in More Than 30 Years Is Now Law.
Donald Trump called it a “big yawn,” refused to sign it, and tried to make it about his own political demands.
It became law anyway.
This bipartisan legislation is expected to:
✅ Build more homes
✅ Increase affordable housing
✅ Help first-time homebuyers
✅ Cut red tape to speed up construction
✅ Redevelop vacant properties
✅ Reduce Wall Street’s grip on single-family homes
✅ Modernize federal housing programs
Let’s be clear: Trump did not write this bill. He did not negotiate it. He did not help pass it. He refused to sign it, and it became law without his signature after the constitutional deadline expired.
While politicians argue, Americans need more affordable places to live. Congress delivered a bipartisan housing package that supporters say will help address the nation’s housing shortage over time.
Results matter. More homes. Lower costs. Stronger communities. 🏡🇺🇸
🚨 “Grow a Backbone.” 🚨
Vice President Kamala Harris is calling on Democrats to take a stronger stand in the fight to protect American democracy and voting rights.
Among the reforms she says should be considered:
🗳️ Changes to the Electoral College
⚖️ Expanding the Supreme Court
✊🏾 Stronger federal action to protect the right to vote
As debates over election laws, the Voting Rights Act, and the future of American democracy continue, Harris argues that bold leadership—not caution—is needed.
Do you agree that it’s time for major reforms, or should the current system remain unchanged?
