Trump has declared it’s now illegal for banks to help Black people buy homes. And to make it worse, he brought out his only Black cabinet member to make the announcement.
Buffie the Body’s origin story makes me so curious about her birth chart, especially placements governing visibility, recognition + destiny. Imagine having photos taken for your man, only for them to find their way into the world + change the trajectory of your life.
NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO FANNIE LOU HAMER.
In 1963, Fannie Lou Hamer was arrested in Winona, Mississippi, after helping Black Americans register to vote. While in custody, she was brutally beaten by police and other prisoners under their direction. The injuries left her with lasting physical damage.
Her crime? Demanding a right that America claimed its citizens already had.
Hamer was a sharecropper who understood that the right to vote was about far more than casting a ballot. It was about having a voice in a country that had spent generations trying to keep Black people powerless.
They threatened her. They attacked her. They tried to make an example of her.
But she refused to be silent.
She went on to challenge the political system that excluded Black Americans, speaking before the nation at the 1964 Democratic National Convention and exposing the violence and discrimination Black voters faced in Mississippi.
Fannie Lou Hamer's story is a reminder that many of the rights people take for granted today were secured by people who paid an extraordinary price to demand them.
They wanted her to be afraid. Instead, she made America listen. History must never forget her name.
To keep these stories alive, we have uncovered and documented crimes against Black people that have remained unanswered.

A man in Boston shot his pregnant wife and told police a Black man had done it.
The city believed him instantly — and then tore its own Black neighbourhood apart looking for someone who did not exist. October 1989.
Within hours, police flooded Mission Hill. Over the following weeks Black men were stopped, searched, and strip-searched in the street. Homes were entered. Teenagers were pulled off basketball courts.
A man named Willie Bennett was arrested and named publicly as the suspect. His family's home was raided. His name was in every newspaper in America.
Stuart picked Bennett out of a line-up.
Then Stuart's own brother went to the police and said he had helped dispose of the gun and the wife's belongings.
Stuart died before he could be charged.
Boston had spent nearly three months believing a story whose only evidence was that a white man had said a Black man did it.
Willie Bennett was released. His life did not recover.
In 2023 — thirty-four years later — the city of Boston formally apologised to Bennett, to his family, and to the Black residents of Mission Hill, and the police department acknowledged what it had done.
One sentence from one man was enough to put a whole neighbourhood under occupation. It took the city a third of a century to say sorry for believing it.
a black teenager named kahlil simmons turned 17 three days before he was shot dead in south carolina.. three teens are charged with his murder.. two adults are accused of hiding the guns and clothes nobody has said why a black boy had to die.
The man who invented the operation that saves babies born with blue-baby syndrome had no medical degree, no college degree, and was listed on the payroll as a JANITOR.
He guided the first operation from a stool behind the surgeon's shoulder, telling him where to cut.
Vivien Thomas. He had been saving to study medicine when the 1929 crash wiped out his savings and the bank holding them.
He took a job as a lab assistant at Vanderbilt for a janitor's wage, because that was the classification available.
Within a couple of years he was running experimental surgery — developing techniques, performing operations on his own, training surgeons.
He moved to Johns Hopkins with Alfred Blalock in 1941, where he was still paid as a janitor and had to enter through a back door.
He was the only Black man in that building not carrying a mop.
He worked out the surgical fix for tetralogy of Fallot — the condition killing infants who turned blue and died — and built the instruments for it.
The first operation on a child was in 1944. Blalock, who had never done the procedure, asked Thomas to stand behind him and talk him through it.
The surgeons on the paper became world famous. Thomas was not credited.
Hopkins hung his portrait in 1971 and gave him an honorary doctorate in 1976. Generations of surgeons he personally trained insisted on it.
He was paid as a cleaner while inventing heart surgery.
She was bought at fourteen by a man who assaulted her for five years and fathered two of her children.
When she finally fought back and he died, Missouri put her on trial — and the court ruled she had no right to defend herself. Celia. 1855.
Missouri law at the time said a woman could use deadly force to defend her honour.
Celia's lawyers argued that law covered her. The judge ruled it did not — because the statute said "any woman," and Celia was not legally a woman. She was property.
That was the finding. Not that she was lying. Not that it had not happened. That the protection did not extend to her, because she was a thing.
She was convicted and sentenced to hang. The state waited until she had given birth — the baby was stillborn — and then executed her in December 1855.
She was nineteen years old.
Her story is the kind of buried history that we must never forget https://t.co/V6OJtazidd

This is part of why they had to bring this "investigation" to an end, bc the evidence was piling up against Nolan's murderers, and the lies were unsustainable & had them all tripping over themselves.
All I know is, Ocean Springs has a group of murderers walking around...for now!
Imagine feeding kids, opening clinics and organizing your community while the FBI infiltrates and dismantles your movement. Panther leaders were jailed, exiled and even killed. Yet the KKK survived. That history speaks volumes.
