Dr. Angella Ferguson was born #OTD in 1925.

Pediatrician who developed one of the first reliable blood tests to detect sickle cell disease in newborns (1950s). By 2010, her blood test and diagnostic protocols were the standard of care in 40 US states & remain the standard today. #WomenInSTEM #BHM
A formal color portrait photograph of Dr. Angella Ferguson, the pioneering Black pediatrician and medical researcher, seated at a wooden desk in a professional setting. She is an elegant woman with short neatly styled dark hair pulled back, and a calm, confident expression with a gentle smile. Dr. Ferguson wears a dark blazer or suit jacket with a white collared blouse accented by a large black bow tie at the neck, small pearl earrings, a bracelet on one wrist, and a ring on her left hand. Her arms rest crossed on the desk, hands gently clasped, conveying poise and authority. On the desk in front of her sits an open hardcover book, a pair of eyeglasses, and a few other items, with a rich wooden panel background suggesting an office or academic environment. The image captures her as a trailblazing figure who developed one of the first reliable newborn screening tests for sickle cell disease in the 1950s–1960s, revolutionizing early diagnosis and treatment for this genetic condition and improving outcomes for countless children. The portrait radiates dignity, intelligence, and quiet strength.

Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first Black woman doctor in the US, graduated with her M.D. in 1864. She overcame significant barriers due to both racism & sexism & provided care to formerly enslaved people in the post-Civil War period. She was born #OTD in 1831.

#WomenInSTEM #BHM (1/2)
Black-and-white 19th-century engraving of the New England Female Medical College building on Springfield Street in Boston, the institution from which Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler graduated in 1864 as the first Black woman to earn a medical degree in the United States. The illustration shows a large, three-story Victorian-style brick structure with a mansard roof featuring multiple dormer windows and chimneys. The facade includes tall arched windows on the upper floors, a prominent central entrance with a grand arched portico supported by columns, flanked by smaller arched doorways or windows, and a wide staircase leading up to the main entrance where a few small figures of people are shown standing or ascending the steps. The building is surrounded by trees, shrubs, and grass in a landscaped setting, with light shading to convey depth and texture typical of period illustrations. Photograph of the aged, original 1883 title page from A Book of Medical Discourses by Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, M.D., recognized as the first medical book written by a black author in the United States. Printed in black ink on yellowed, worn paper with frayed edges, minor creases, and stains from age. The centered title appears in large, ornate uppercase letters: "A BOOK OF MEDICAL DISCOURSES" followed by "IN TWO PARTS." Below, detailed subtitles describe the contents—Part First addresses the cause, prevention, and cure of infantile bowel complaints from birth through the teething period up to the fifth year; Part Second provides miscellaneous information on life and growth, the beginning of womanhood, and the cause, prevention, and cure of distressing complaints affecting women and both sexes. The author's credit reads "BY REBECCA CRUMPLER, M.D." (with a handwritten checkmark or underline nearby). At the bottom: "BOSTON: CASHMAN, KEATING & CO., PRINTERS. FAYETTE COURT, 603 WASHINGTON ST. 1883." A prominent circular red library stamp from the "SURGEON GEN'L OFFICE LIBRARY" dated "12/1/31" overlaps the lower center, along with faint additional library markings, giving it an archival, historical appearance typical of 19th-century medical publications held in institutional collections.

This is my hometown and these are violent, seditious white nationalists. Folks, chances are that sympathizers exist in your own circle of family, friends, and coworkers. If you are white, use your privilege and denounce this rhetoric every chance you get. Silence allows it to be normalized.

For those who don't know, remigration is a European far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white minority populations.

I took this photo today in SASKATOON within hours of the ICE remigration Gestapo executing another person in the US.

The squirrel is dark brown in colour, with the spiky fur of its tail's tip is directly behind its head, giving the appearance that it has spiky fur on its head. It is standing on top of a broken oak tree trunk, and the blurred background is comprised of a hickory-oak forest with an ice blue sky.

Be a helper like Alex Pretti. He was an ICU nurse who knew that his work of caring and helping others extended beyond the hospital and clinic walls. And for that, he was executed in broad daylight by federal ICE agents.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

As a photojournalist, I can confirm that good, clear signage with your key message, properly placed, is ABSOLUTELY KEY for your press conference/rally/march/event.
