Former ATL Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms joining CNN as political commentator
I am thrilled to officially announce that I have joined @CNN as a Political Commentator. As a @FAMU_1887 student, I applied for the coveted VJ program at @CNN and didn’t get in. To now join the team nearly 30 yrs later is a reminder that a dream deferred is never a dream denied.

North Carolina A&T men's track and field team demoted to No. 2 in latest USTFCCCA poll
"North Carolina A&T slid to No. 2 to no fault of its own." This statement by USTFCCCA says the HBCU N.C. A&T was taken out of the No.1 position not because of performance, but politics. A&T high performances did not change, but Texas jumped from #3 to #1 on a shot put!! Really? https://t.co/fWIiaJdD2p
