Dr. Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, was shot and kiIIed at age 47 on August 22, 1989, in West Oakland, California. He died from multiple gunshɔt wounds to the head inflicted by Tyrone Robinson.
A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child’s birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15..😳🚨
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Black political power and Black people in general are under attack by the federal government. Rolling back voting rights, trying to change how slavery is taught, targeted mass firings of Black people in government jobs, skyrocketing unemployment, Black farmers being denied funding and now this. We are under a full blown assault from all sides.
The story of George Stinney
The youngest person ever sentenced to Death. Only 14 years old and was accused of killing 2 white girls. He was sentenced and killed in the electric chair. 70yrs later in 2014, he was proven innocent.
His last words were : “Johnny, I didn’t do it, i didn’t do it,Why would they kill me for something I didn’t do”💔
This is insane.
The GOP's newly proposed TN Congressional maps would have people in Shelby County all the way to Williamson County—200+ miles apart—being "represented" by the same Congressman.
It's a blatant, corrupt power grab that would destroy the Black community's and our entire city's voice.
