Mary Eliza Mahoney, born #OnThisDay in 1845, is considered the first professionally trained African American nurse in the U.S. She became a registered nurse after graduating from the New England Hospital for Women and Children’s nursing school in 1879. #HiddenHerstory

@BrianEKennedy2 I feel like Baldwin should be required reading for curriculum in high school.

Some Republicans spent months trying to invalidate Black, brown, and Indigenous votes. They incited a deadly Confederate battle flag-waving insurrection.

Now, they've acquitted their white supremacist-in-chief.

Our answer? March. Organize. Vote them out.

There is a lot of disinformation out there, but here’s the truth: You should get a COVID vaccine as soon as it's available to you. It could save your life—or a loved one’s.

It’s long past time we raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. The American Rescue Plan will get it done.

You should never have to fear for your life at work.

You should never have to be constantly retraumatized at work.

You should never have to beg for accountability at work.

All of that must be true in Congress too. Pass H.Res 25 to investigate and expel these GOP members.

So to recap we told people to stay home for the last 325 days and gave them $1,800. That's $5.54 a day.

Meanwhile, they pumped about $3 trillion in to the stock market for corporations, which then turned around and did record layoffs anyway.

@LibraryJournal @theadvocateaca Sounds like censorship to me! Clearly they don’t want the truth about voting rights exposed! It’s not a left or right issue - the facts should speak! Sad!!

Today, we honor the legacy of civil rights icon: Fred Korematsu. His unwavering courage in standing against the unjust internment of Japanese Americans during WWII is a reminder of the power of everyday Americans to uphold our values & strengthen our democracy. #FredKorematsuDay

The 117th Congress has a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives.

We impeached the white supremacist-in-chief by passing H.Res. 24.

We must expel the white supremacists in Congress by passing H.Res. 25.

@AOC Boycott the station!

[libraryHG @LibraryHg]

@akela_lacy You should have called/emailed the station and asked the question. Unfortunately, many of those most in need won’t get this money and too many who would bank it will get it! 🥲

@LibraryShellf @freeblackgirl @gaoladipo I understand however, I think this could be done in a positive way. I think that Chimamanda Adichie has contributed a lot of important work and it shouldn’t be discounted. As it is, Black authors have a difficult enough time getting published.
