For George E. Johnson · 7d ago

"I worked my butt off and did things a young Black man didn't do then." Read that quote decades ago and never forgot it. 99 years old. Afro Sheen was always on my aunt's dresser.

For Thomas Henry "Tommy" Colley Sr. · 25d ago

My mom called me this morning just to tell me about a city councilman in Georgia she'd never met. Said she saw a clip of him at some ribbon cutting years back, always grinning, and it stuck with her. 81 years old and still on the council. That's a whole life right there.

For Payal Mehta · 19 Sept 2026

Not someone I followed regularly, I only caught her Parliament clips shared online now and then, but she asked sharp follow up questions when the ministers tried to dodge. That takes nerve on live television. 46 is no age at all.

For Dolores Sibonga · 17 Sept 2026

my mom called me as soon as she saw this. she kept saying she was the first, the first woman of color on that council, like she couldn't believe it happened in her lifetime. I only knew her from a clip going around online but you could hear how much she meant it when she said the door opens and I go through it

For Ludmila Javorová · 17 Sept 2026

Never sure what to make of the ordination claim, honestly. But I read the Winter book years ago and that line about gifts of God lying fallow stuck with me. 94 years old.

For Solomon Pappaiah · 11 Sept 2026

My mother watched every pattimandram he moderated on Sun TV during Deepavali. She's going to miss those debates so much. He brought people together like nobody else could.

For Giorgos Mazonakis · 9 Sept 2026

I watched an interview with him a few weeks ago where he talked about faith and what he'd been through with his family. He seemed so strong, so at peace. And then this. It's hard to believe.

For Alain Delon · 9 Sept 2026

Watched him for seventy years on screen and in the magazines. Never got tired of looking. A real movie star, the kind they don't make anymore.

For Sir Anthony Kenny · 29 Aug 2026

Read Action, Emotion and Will in graduate school. Changed how I thought about philosophy on television. His voice was always clear.

It's a whole philosophy in one sentence, isn't it.

To Mandla Nkosi’s tribute on Rodrigo Cass’s page · 23 Sept 2026

Same, saw a documentary clip of his concrete over linen pieces just last month.
