Candace da Friendly Coon said Juneteenth was "stupid." Probably because as a bed wench, she may have had a few "privileges" from Massa!

They claim we're products from the bottom of hell

'Cause the black is back, and it's bound to sell

Picture us cooling out on the Fourth of July

And if you heard we were celebrating, that's a worldwide lie ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Happy 79th birthday and all the flowers to activist, professor and American Book Award winner Angela Yvonne Davis #blackliberation #womenraceclass #freedomfighter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4yaZBPwp1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vivian • VIA @eji_org https://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/mar/07 On March 7, 1965, state and local police used billy clubs, whips, and tear gas to attack hundreds of civil rights activists beginning a march from #Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery. The activists were protesting the denial of voting rights to African Americans as well as the murder of 26-year-old activist Jimmie Lee Jackson, who had been fatally shot in the stomach by police during a peaceful protest just days before. The march was led by #JohnLewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (#SNCC) and Reverend #HoseaWilliams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (#SCLC). The marchers crossed the #EdmundPettusBridge and found themselves facing a line of state and county officers poised to attack. When demonstrators did not promptly obey the officers' order to disband and turn back, troopers brutally attacked them on horseback, wielding weapons and chasing down fleeing men, women, and children. Dozens of civil rights activists were later hospitalized with severe injuries. Horrifying images of the violence were broadcast on national television, shocking many viewers and helping to rouse support for the civil rights cause. Activists organized another march two days later, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. urged supporters from throughout the country to come to Selma to join. Many heeded his call, and the events helped spur passage of the #VotingRightsAct of 1965 three months later. #thesaintsofselma #Vote #VotingRights #Blackliberation #WomensHistoryMonth #WhiteSupremacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CpahlB_uQhm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We must face the painful reality soberly, without illusions. But we can face it with the courage and confidence that comes from knowing that it is workers who make this society run. And together, united in defense of our rights, we can SHUT IT DOWN. Let your rage radicalize you. But more, let it revolutionize you.

📷📚 #ArtIsAWeapon Reposted from @schomburgcenter #HappyHeavenlyBirthday to our founder #ArturoSchomburg who was born #onthisday, January 24 [in 1874]. To join us for our annual lecture and conversation at 6:30 PM this evening, click on the link in our bio. We will have a pop-up display starting at 12 noon. #Didyouknow Mr. Schomburg is widely associated with the word Afroborinqueño—a person who is Black and Puerto Rican. Mr. Schomburg celebrated both of his heritages and frequently used the word to describe himself. Journalist Gustavo E. Urrutia used the term in a 1936 column about Mr. Schomburg for El Diario De la Marina. Researchers can read the column from the newspaper on microfilm. Our Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division holds the Arthur Alfonso Schomburg Papers. Our Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division has the correspondence on microfilm. • Reposted from @nmaahc #OnThisDay in 1874, #ArturoAlfonsoSchomburg was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Inspired by Latino revolutionaries, Schomburg became an influential an advocate for #PuertoRicanindependence and #Blackliberation. After arriving in New York in 1891, he joined Los Independientes, an organization dedicated to advocating for Puerto Rican independence. Schomburg's interests shifted during the 1890s amid rising racial tension and the disbanding of the Cuban Revolutionary Party. After visiting the South and being confronted for the first time with the inequalities of our nation’s Jim Crow society, Schomburg took an interest in learning more about U.S. history. He collected and read books and manuscripts, co-founded the “Negro Society for Historical Research,” and joined the #AmericanNegroAcademy. Throughout the years, Schomburg amassed a personal collection of over 10,000 books, manuscripts, artifacts, and pamphlets. The New York Public Library purchased Schomburg's collection in 1926, forming the core of what is today known as the @schomburgcenter for Research in Black Culture, a division of the New York Public Library. #Afroborinqueño #NYPublicLibrary #SchomburgCenter #HarlemRenaissance #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory (at Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzdjNlObUT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
