High-Key Details

Last year, R&B superstar Rihanna announced she would honor King at her annual Diamond Ball for his work in activism and spreading awareness about social injustices.

“I can’t imagine a better night than this year’s Clara Lionel Foundation event with Seth Meyers, Pharrell and DJ Khaled,” said Rihanna. “I am particularly honored to present Prime Minister Mottley and Shaun King with this year’s Diamond Ball Awards for their groundbreaking work. We are so thankful to them for joining us and making the night better than ever.” (Variety)

30 brand new prison guards in West Virginia willingly posed giving the Nazi salute in their graduation photo. I’m searching for this image without their faces blurred so we can all know who’s who, but have not found one yet. ‪I have $1,000 for the unblurred version of this photo of these new West Virginia prison guards doing the Nazi salute. ‬ ‪Email it to me at [email protected] and I’ll pay you anonymously. ‬
