Why No One Should Be Calling Sally Hemings Thomas Jefferson's Mistress

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Sally Hemings, the woman Thomas Jefferson enslaved.

She was called his "mistress," but how can you be a mistress when you were enslaved, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?

March is WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH. Just like I learned like nothing about Black history in school coming up, in spite of being an A student, I also learned like nothing about the contributions of women to science, math, history, the arts, to anything. My life changed as I learned.

[Chief Jim McDonnell @LAPDPoliceChief]

This morning I took an oath—an oath to serve the LAPD, and all Angelenos, to the best of my ability as the 58th Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.

On this day in 1927, singer, actor, and civil rights activist, Harry Belafonte, was born! RIP 🕊️

Harold George Bellanfanti Jr. was a Black American singer, actor, and civil rights activist, who popularized calypso music with international audiences in the 1950s and 1960s. Belafonte's career breakthrough album Calypso (1956) was the first million-selling LP by a single artist.

Belafonte was best known for his recordings of "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)", "Jump in the Line (Shake, Senora)", "Jamaica Farewell", and "Mary's Boy Child". He recorded and performed in many genres, including blues, folk, gospel, show tunes, and American standards. He also starred in films such as Carmen Jones (1954), Island in the Sun (1957), Odds Against Tomorrow (1959), Buck and the Preacher (1972), and Uptown Saturday Night (1974). He made his final feature film appearance in Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman (2018).

Belafonte considered the actor, singer, and activist Paul Robeson to be a mentor. Belafonte was also a close confidant of Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. He was a vocal critic of the policies of the George W. Bush and Donald Trump administrations. Belafonte acted as the American Civil Liberties Union celebrity ambassador for juvenile justice issues.

Belafonte won three Grammy Awards (including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award), an Emmy Award, and a Tony Award. In 1989, he received the Kennedy Center Honors. He was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1994. In 2014, he received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the academy's 6th Annual Governors Awards and in 2022 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Early Influence category.He is one of the few performers to have received an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT), although he won the Oscar in a non-competitive category.
