The American Redress Coalition of California Bay Area is a community based group that advocates for Black Descendants of U.S. Slavery for Reparative Justice.
Anyone saying or insinuating that Black🇺🇸 don't value education, is also saying that they don't know us at all.
We are the foundation of the US education system.
✊🏾💪🏾🇺🇸

The disrespect coming from the diaspora in response to our identity movement is palpable.
Many have internalized yt supremacist ideology and parrot racist anti-Black🇺🇸tropes with the same ease of a Jim Crow segregationist.
It is telling that you are unable to see yourselves.
“White women were especially likely to buy and sell enslaved women, making up nearly 40% of the people doing the buying and selling.”

Happy Black August.
Today marks the beginning of Black August—a month dedicated to remembrance, reflection, study, and honoring the legacy of Black American resistance.
As we move through this month, may it be a time to deepen our understanding of the people and movements that fought for freedom, justice, and dignity. Wishing everyone an inspiring and meaningful August. Take time to learn, reflect, and continue the work of building a more just future.

Black August is this Saturday, August 1. 🖤
Did you know it began in 1979, honoring George Jackson and Black political prisoners in California’s prisons — and that South Central LA has its own roots in this history through youth organizing in the Avalon Gardens projects?
A month to reflect, remember, and educate.
Justice delayed is still justice owed. The late Pastor Fred Price of Los Angeles, makes it plain: America’s wealth was built on the stolen labor of Black Americans — the American Freedmen — and that debt has never been paid. No more excuses. Pay what is owed. 🎥⬇️ #Reparations #LEAP
The drummer is playing a Black American rhythm known as the Charleston, with shuffled 16th notes on the hi-hat that create a deep, driving groove. Sharon Paige’s voice alongside Teddy Pendergrass is pure magic. Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes at their finest. https://t.co/d5dlAVhe5y

We're building more than family trees🌳 — we're preparing for Reparations by tracing our lineage back to the period of Slavery in the U.S. Thank you for the love OAKLAND 🙏🏿💯💯💯

Today, on the Fourth of July, America celebrates its 250th anniversary. As the Lineage Equity & Advancement Project (LEAP) concludes our #America250 countdown, we affirm one truth: American Freedmen are central to the story of America.
We built this nation. We defended it. We fed it. We enriched it. We expanded its democracy and shaped its culture.
The next chapter must be one of truth, reconciliation, and reparations. Repairing the enduring harms of slavery and its aftermath will strengthen our nation, fulfill America’s founding promise, and move us closer to a more perfect Union.
The next 250 years begin with justice. 🇺🇸 #America250 #AmericanFreedmen #Reparations #LEAP
You’re Welcome America 🇺🇸 Now where’s the check? Blood and bodies are the invoice… ✨No amount✨is enough✨for what Black American Freedmen unwillingly sacrificed. The blood and bodies of our Ancestors paved the way. Pay your bill-then will you America 🇺🇸 be truly blessed.
250 years later, America celebrates its founding.
At the same time, we remember what that founding meant for the people in our families who were already here.
That's why, 250 years later, the case for Reparations has never been greater.

250 years later. Does Frederick Douglass 1852 speech ring true today and how does Birthright citizenship impact the American Freedmen? Special 4th of U lie edition. Thanks for the support....
