New York’s mayor said that God chose him to lead the nation’s largest city, and not someplace like Topeka, Kan. The mayor of Topeka was not amused.

This issue isn't a new one. Re-upping this story I wrote last year about how a winter storm left thousands of folks in Jxn w/o water & Black communities were hardest-hit. Black organizers ensured their needs were met. https://t.co/BxEFjDdIIz via @yesmagazine

When a winter storm knocked out water service to tens of thousands of Mississippi residents, it was Black families that were hit hardest—and who organized their own relief efforts.
