Remembering the lives lost & the lives irrevocably changed during the Tulsa race massacre.
Honoring those survivors of the massacre who still live, Viola Fletcher & Lessie Benningfield Randle, who to this day, seek reparations for the destruction of Greenwood.

On this day in 1896, the Plessy v. Ferguson decision allowed racial segregation in public facilities.
That ruling essentially
-legitimized Jim Crow,
-erased legislative achievements won during the Reconstruction Era,
-& allowed segregation laws & practices to infest beyond the south.

71 years ago today, Brown Vs The Board of Education was decided. The Supreme Court ruled racial segregation laws were violations of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
A major victory for the Civil Rights Movement.

They are banning our books,
but the plantations are burning.
They are combatting our history,
but the plantations are burning.
As the last antebellum plantation mansion burns, let it be so with the all structures that tried to keep us in bondage. That some how, someway, it will burn to the ground.

Today is the 62nd Anniversary of the Birmingham Children’s Crusade, a nonviolent protest with the goal of combating segregation & inequality. Children were met with brutality, fire hoses, & dogs. Yet for 8 days, they marched.
1 state over, Louisiana just rolled back its desegregation order.

There isn’t enough reporting or sharing of all of the times this administration has either walked back, changed course, or dropped some of its worst policies & decisions.
Its a LOT.
And that is due to us. Our efforts. Our work. Our advocacy. Keep it up, because it’s working.

These takes are so predictable. Rather than accepting this film’s success, these publications question it.
While the industry is worried how theaters will survive while serving us the same remakes & live actions, Black folks created original stories that were interesting. Give them their flowers.

How many more?
How many more people have to be kidnapped or trafficked before something is done?
How many more people until someone with authority intervenes?
How many more until it’s someone you know, someone you care about, someone you love?
These aren’t nameless numbers, these are people.

There is a woman in the comments of my Emmett Till video arguing with me bc she thinks I should have did a better job distinguishing white people in the south vs the north (mind you, I didn’t mention white people AT ALL bc I was focused on Emmett’s story.

Privilege is a dumbfounding thing because what would possess a person to expect entertainment for her kid at a rally or march where people are literally exercising their first amendment right as they fight for their lives?

Today marks the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday. Organized by John Lewis, 600 people peacefully marched for the right to vote & to protest police brutality. They were violently beaten by law enforcement.
Horrified by the savagery, the nation pushed to pass the Voting Rights Act.

I want the names of the 10 Democrats who voted along with Republicans to censure Representative Al Green.
While they are maintaining decorum, real harm is happening to the American people. It’s a shame so few of our elected officials will ever possess a fraction of the spine of Rep Green.

The way too many folks are way too comfortable calling Black women to come clean up messes they did not make but surely warned us about.
Imagine having the audacity to tell a person who is NOT in office, who owes no one anything that she can’t even wish her own husband a happy v-day.
