The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, founded in 1925 by A. Philip Randolph, was the first Black-led labor union to gain a collective bargaining agreement. It not only fought for fair wages but helped lay the groundwork for the civil rights movement.✊🏾🛤️ #LaborHistory

Born on May 26, 1926, Miles Davis transcended the barriers of segregation to revolutionize American music. His trumpet wasn't just an instrument—it was a voice of defiance, innovation, and Black excellence. From Kind of Blue to Bitches Brew, his legacy endures.

The Freedom’s Journal was the nation’s first newspaper owned and operated by African Americans. Only lasting two years, from 1827-1829, the Freedom’s Journal was pivotal in becoming an outlet that allowed African Americans a voice of their own.
