On December 7, 1971 at the Boys Club of America on Hoe Avenue in the South Bronx, over 100 leaders from roughly 20 different New York street gangs, including the Black Spades and Ghetto Brothers, met to negotiate a truce.

The truce was prompted by the murder of Black Benjy, a member of the Ghetto Brothers. The meeting significantly reduced community violence in the area against civilians and created rules of engagement between rival gangs that held until 1981, when crack began to flood inner cities.

This gathering is considered a pivotal moment in the history of the Bronx, contributing to the environment that allowed hip-hop culture to emerge. It was also one of the inspirations for the film "The Warriors."

Did you ever asked your self why the world is being forced to remember the Jewish holocaust but forget what the same white criminals did to the black man?!

They killed Lumumba and dissolved him in acid because he refused to kneel. Not for ideology — for nationalising resources and choosing African sovereignty over Western control.

They didn’t just murder the man. They tried to erase the example for the entire continent.

The same powers still fear any leader who puts the people first.

The resistance remembers.

We can afford to dress cops like stormtroopers but not feed hungry people or shelter the unhoused. Fuck all cops forever

They'll investigate this, but won't investigate Black people that were hanged. This country is so unserious

[Dirty Laundry Media 🇺🇸 @Billtheicon]

A 1972 Harvard Report, commissioned by Clive Davis for CBS, outlined a strategy for white-owned corporations to enter and financially exploit the booming Black music market, which was then dominated by independent labels.

Not so fun fact: Epstein's house has a room with a drop door that goes straight into the ocean.
Also had a dentist office, and it was revealed that he had 330 gallons of industrial grade sulfuric acid shipped there. So they were pulling teeth so they couldn't bite or be identified, dissolved in acid and dumped into the ocean.

A police officer murdered a child whose mother couldn’t afford diapers at Walmart. The headline below was constructed to protect the child-murdering police officer. This is America.
