Black people are indigenous to every corner of the globe.

In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant

All children born in the penitentiary became property of the state

At 10 years they would be auctioned off. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white kids #BlackHistoryMonth

If We Must Die by Claude McKay. One of the greatest poems in literary history. Take a few minutes to read this powerful poem written during the Harlem Renaissance and influenced by the writings and scholarship of W.E.B. DuBois.

If We Must Die

If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursèd lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

—The poem entered the lexicon of those versed in great literature and poetry in the English language.
It gained world fame after being quoted by Sir Winston Churchill to inspire the British in the Second World War.—

An enslaved African is hung alive by the ribs to a gallows above skulls of beheaded slaves on posts, Dutch Suriname, 1773.

An incision was made in the victim's ribs, and a hook was placed in the hole. In this case, the victim stayed alive for three days.

Before he was a Hollywood star, Samuel L. Jackson was a civil rights activist. In 1969, he was expelled from Morehouse College after a two-day "lock-in" where he held the school's board of trustees, including Martin Luther King Sr., hostage to demand changes to the university's curriculum.

On this day in 1968, Bobby Hutton, an original member of the Black Panther Party was shot dead by the Oakland police, unarmed. He was only 17 years.

After being bombed with tear gas and trapped in a burning basement, he came out shirtless to prove he was unarmed and the police immediately shot him 12 times and he died.

He was only 17 years.

Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.
