[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Azie Morton's signature appeared on millions of U.S. dollar bills, yet her name is still unfamiliar to many people today.

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter appointed Azie Taylor Morton as the 36th Treasurer of the United States, making her the first and only Black American to hold the position. While the office is often overlooked, it carries a remarkable responsibility. Every piece of U.S. paper currency printed during her tenure bore her signature alongside that of the Secretary of the Treasury. It meant that every dollar bill passing through banks, businesses, and families across America carried the name of a woman who had broken one of the highest racial barriers in the federal government.

Morton's journey began far from Washington. Born in Dale, Texas, in 1936, she attended Huston Tillotson College before building a career in public service. She became deeply involved in civic organizations and politics, working to expand opportunities for underrepresented communities and encouraging greater participation in government. Her dedication and leadership earned national recognition, eventually leading to her historic appointment.

Her achievement came during a period when Black Americans and women remained significantly underrepresented in senior government positions. By becoming U.S. Treasurer, Morton showed that excellence and perseverance could open doors that had long been closed. Her success inspired future generations to pursue careers in public service, finance, and national leadership.

Although millions of people have unknowingly held currency bearing her signature, Azie Morton's story deserves far greater recognition. She helped reshape what leadership looked like in the United States and left behind a legacy that continues to inspire those working toward equal representation in every level of government.

On this day in 2005, Anthony Walker, 18, died after he was chased from a bus stop in Merseyside & murdered in a racist & unprovoked attack. The teenager was savagely attacked with an ice axe and left to die at a park entrance.

Rest in peace Anthony Walker 🙏🏾🕊️

@zMGx215 “Pro life”…..i guess women aren’t human beings in their opinion

[M Mitchell @zMGx215]

@Zoya_ki_batein That's terrible. They're so "pro life" they let them both die....

[kalpesh kandoriya @KalpeshKl]

100% with the father here. If the hospital straight-up admits they don't have pediatric equipment to treat her properly, keeping her there is straight-up endangerment. Parents have the right to seek better care elsewhere. This '24-hour observation' excuse smells like billing/profit nonsense. Good on him for standing firm. Hope the little girl is okay now.

[K.B. 🤴🏽 @SkywalkerMcFly_]

@end3of6days9 He probably wanted the Father to leave so that he can hurt her. None of that shit they wanted made sense. Tried to gaslight that Brotha to be reactionary so that they could have an excuse to get physical. Racist bull shit.

[End3of6Days9 (Helen) 🇺🇸 @end3of6days9]

A desperate dad rushes his 2-year-old to the hospital after she's hurt. Staff admits they can't really treat her... yet they refuse to let him transfer her to a better facility like Children's Hospital.

He stays calm but stands firm: 'If I bring my child to a facility that cannot take care of her, there is no need for her to be in the facility. That man just said he cannot submit my child in this hospital because they do not have child stuff for my child, so I have to take my child to another hospital.'

Police get called when doctors insist on another 24 hours of observation.

Dad fires back: 'You just said you can't do nothing for her—so why keep her? This is about my daughter's well-being. I'M TAKING HER TO A HOSPITAL THAT CAN HELP HER!'

This is a parent's nightmare, fighting for your own kid against the system.

@end3of6days9 I hope he sues the shit out of them.. this was totally uncalled for...

They raised 1.5 MILLION for Renee. We can do the same or more for Keith Porter who was also murdered by ICE.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

What happened to Renee Nicole Good wasn’t the first time ICE has shot a citizen

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot & killed by ICE on New Year’s Eve

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body

[Isaac G. Bryan @ib2_real]

His Mother could barely stand tonight at his vigil. He was a girl dad. He was a friend to many. He was a Black Man and an American citizen.

ICE killed him on New Year’s Eve in LA.

His name was Keith Porter 🕊️

[kevin blue @kevinblue345]

Let’s stop calling it “cultural appropriation.” It’s too soft, too academic, too forgiving. What’s happening here — what’s always been happening — is theft. It’s exploitation. white people need to stop saying the black phrase, “say her name." Start your own phrase.
