On this day that we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I’m sharing this special picture with you. This is Dr. Christine Farris - she was one of my English teachers when I was a student at Spelman College in Atlanta. Dr. Farris was Dr. King’s sister. I remember the first day in her class. All of us young students were so excited that we were meeting someone who ACTUALLY knew Dr. King! Throughout the semester, Dr. Farris would sometimes talk about her younger brother and how we could honor him by striving for excellence in our lives. I was honored to be taught by Dr. Farris and overjoyed when I got to see her again during a reunion weekend at #SpelmanCollege. 💙

It’s hard to measure the impact of a person like Barbara Walters. A legend. For a journalist like myself, she was an icon. I know my path through the broadcasting industry was greatly forged by #BarbaraWalters because she was a trailblazer. There will be many tributes to come in the days ahead. For me, she helped me see what was possible. Thank you, Ms. Walters. Well done. RIP. 🕊️
