A few friends have told me that they’ve heard my interview on NPR this morning talking about A First Time for Everything. Still can’t believe this happened. Here’s the link❤️: https://t.co/Pxz9eXXGmo

48 years ago today, on July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first Black man to win a #Wimbledon  singles title.

That same year, I won the Wimbledon women’s singles title, and we shared a dance together at the ball.

For all those who love baking, but want the task to be made easy as possible. Anna M. Mangin foresaw your needs. She invented the pastry fork in 1891.

—Anna M. Mangin invented the pastry fork in 1891.
The utensil was used to mix dough for pie crusts, cookies, butter and flour pastries without needing to mix the ingredients by hand. The fork was also used to beat eggs, mash potatoes, and prepare salad dressings. Mangin was awarded a patent on March 1, 1892, for the pastry fork for mixing pastry dough
PATENT PASTRY-FORK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 470,005, dated March 1, 1892.
Application filed July '7, 1891. Serial No. 398,705. (No model.)

With this invention, Mangin paved the way for future cooking gadgets to shorten cooking durations and alleviate the physical strain of kneading, mixing, and mashing by hand.

In 1893, Mangin's Pastry Fork displayed the ingenuity of African American inventors and the tenacity of African American women at the World's Columbian Exposition. Held in Chicago, Illinois, people of color and women were initially denied opportunities to participate in exhibits.
After repeated demands for inclusion a limited number of non-white exhibits including
Mangin's Pastry Fork were allowed. Although her invention occupied only a small corner on the second floor, a writer on female inventions noticed the kitchen wonder and called it "the only thing of its kind at the patent's office."

Indigenous rainbow prophecy says that:

“There will come a day when people of all races, colors, and creeds will put aside their differences. They will come together in love, joining hands in unification, to heal the Earth and all her children. They will move over the Earth like a great Whirling Rainbow, bringing peace, understanding and healing everywhere they go.”

Perhaps this is why some fear the power of the rainbow. 🌈
