Surya Bonaly will forever be the undefeated Ice Queen.
Blatant discrimination in 1993 caused her to lose a much deserved win to Oksana. She protested in 1994 as she was again cheated out of a win and refused to stand on the podium, a brave move for an athlete.
In 1998, she left the public frozen and etched her name in history when she performed a forbidden somersault. This was a blatant "fu*k you" to the Olympic judges as the injured Bonaly did an illegal backflip landing on one blade.Although that kept her forever away from winning a gold medal, her style was never duplicated and for that she remains undefeated..

Gloria Richardson doesn't get enough credit for how revolutionary she was! Ms. Gloria, like many other activists of the day, disagreed fully with Dr. King and any non-violence movements.
She believed that if we have to ask Whites for our dignity, that means we are not free. And she refused to accept that we were relegated to second class citizenship.
"A first-class citizen does not plead to the white power structure to give him something that the whites have no power to give or take away. Human rights are human rights, not white rights".
Rest in Power Queen ✊🏾

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

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

In 1988, the late Dr. Patricia Era Bath received a patent for her Invention, the Laserphaco Probe. It’s used worldwide in eye surgery to remove cataracts and she also founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness.

She restored sight to millions of people suffering from cataracts.

On May 17, 1988, Dr. Patricia Era Bath is a Black American ophthalmologist, inventor, and academic received a patent for the Laserphaco Probe an apparatus that efficiently removes cataracts by using laser technology making her the first Black American woman to receive a patent for a medical purpose on this date in 1988.

The device which quickly and nearly painlessly dissolves the cataract with a laser, irrigates and cleans the eye and permits the easy insertion of a new lens is used internationally to treat the disease. She has broken ground for women and Black Americans in a number of areas.

Prior to Bath, no woman had served on the staff of the Jules Stein Eye Institute, headed a post-graduate training program in ophthalmology, or been elected to the honorary staff of the UCLA Medical Center. Before Bath, no black person had served as a resident in ophthalmology at New York University and no black woman had ever served on staff as a surgeon at the UCLA Medical Center.

Bath is the first Black American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical purpose. The holder of four patents, she also founded the company of the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness in Washington, D.C. Bath has been honored by two of her universities.

Hunter College placed her in its "hall of fame" in 1988 and Howard University declared her a "Howard University Pioneer in Academic Medicine" in 1993. A children's picture book on her life and science work, The Doctor with an Eye for Eyes:

Nashville was given the Nickname ‘Music City’ by England's Queen Victoria after receiving the Fisk University Jubilee Singers in her court in 1873. The group, made of mostly those formely enslaved, put Nashville on the musical map. —Fisk University opened in Nashville in 1866 as the first American university to offer a liberal arts education to “young men and women irrespective of color.” Five years later the school was in dire financial straits. George L. White, Fisk treasurer and music professor then, created a nine-member choral ensemble of students and took it on tour to earn money for the University. Every one of these students had been enslaved. The group left campus on October 6, 1871. Jubilee Day is celebrated annually on October 6 to commemorate this historic day. The first concerts were in small towns. Surprise, curiosity, and some hostility were the early audience response to these young black singers who did not perform in the traditional “minstrel fashion.” One early concert in Cincinnati brought in $50, which was promptly donated to victims of the notorious 1871 fire in Chicago. When they reached Columbus, the next city on tour, the students were physically and emotionally drained. Mr. White, in a gesture of hope and encouragement, named them “The Jubilee Singers,” a Biblical reference to the year of Jubilee in the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 25. Continued perseverance and beautiful voices began to change attitudes among the predominantly white audiences. Eventually skepticism was replaced by standing ovations and critical praise in reviews. Gradually they earned enough money to cover expenses and send back to Fisk. In 1872 they sang at the World Peace Festival in Boston and at the end of the year President Ulysses S. Grant invited them to perform at the White House. In 1873 the group grew to eleven members and toured Europe for the first time. Funds raised that year were used to construct the school’s first permanent building, Jubilee Hall. Today Jubilee Hall, designated a National Historic Landmark by the US Department of Interior in 1975, is one of the oldest structures on campus. The beautiful Victorian Gothic building houses a floor-to-ceiling portrait of the original Jubilee Singers, commissioned by Queen Victoria during the 1873 tour as a gift from England to Fisk.
