Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry. She does not get the credit she deserves.

On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC. They sparked a national movement across the country. Instructions were simple: sit quietly and wait to be served. #BlackHistoryMonth

101 years ago today, in 1923, a lie by a white woman that she’d been sexually assaulted by a black man, led to the destruction of the predominantly African American town of Rosewood, Florida, thus the Rosewood Massacre. A THREAD

@TheEliKlein @CR_HIATT So you ARE aware of racism. Only when you need to prove a point.

@KO_Fights_ And the teacher didn’t step in until the sister gave her what she was looking for. They always protect their own even when they’re WRONG.

AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY

In 1964, a white hotel manager named James Brock poured acid into a whites-only pool at the Monson Motor Lodge after Black activists jumped into the water during a "swim-in" protest. —On June 18, 1964, motel manager James Brock poured muriatic acid into the swimming pool at the Monson Motor Lodge in St. Augustine, Florida, in an attempt to force out black swimmers who were protesting the hotel's whites-only policy. The incident was part of the St. Augustine Movement, a civil rights campaign that used nonviolent protests to challenge segregation in the city. Brock's actions were met with outrage from the civil rights community, and they helped to galvanize support for the St. Augustine Movement. The incident also led to a national debate about racism and segregation. The Monson Motor Lodge is no longer in operation, but the site of the pool where Brock poured the acid is now a memorial to the St. Augustine Movement. The memorial includes a plaque that tells the story of the incident and its significance. 🖋️if you love our content, please consider supporting our page on https://t.co/MkzBtV9AwG (follow the ko-fi page too for weekly posts roundup)
