When they say it was a long time ago, just remind them no other race experience this type of brutality of 500 years. Never forget.

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

The older I get, the more I understand why older women disappear into gardening, candles, comfy clothes, and silence.

Never forget. In 1953, They drained an entire swimming pool because Dorothy Dandridge stuck her toe in it." Racism and segregation kept many African Americans from learning to swim-a fact we can't forget while celebrating Simone Manuel's historic Olympic gold medal.

Anna M. Mangin (October 1844 - March 1, 1931) was an American inventor, educator, and caterer. She invented a kitchen tool she called a pastry fork in 1891. This was different from the eating utensil, also known as a pastry fork.

Jo and Joy Banner, twin Black sisters from Louisiana, purchased the historic Woodland Plantation — the site where their ancestors were once enslaved.
Through their nonprofit, The Descendants Project, they now own the land to preserve its history and protect descendant communities.
Reclaiming what was taken. 👏🏾

@43Silencer @AfricanArchives The statement wasn't about who wrote it first or which version. There are two versions of "Crossroads" by Bone Thugs&Harmony, but few know the first version. That does not negate the fact that they sang it. Bob Dylan wrote "All Along the Watchtower," ppl know it through Hendrix💜

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.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.

We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.
