“In 2017 [FBI] created new counter-terrorism designation in response to the rise of Black Lives Matter & new wave of Black Liberation Movement.”

Reminder that US policing agencies focused on Black activists even tho white supremacists were the #1 threat

Frederick Douglass described John Brown as a person who, "though a white gentleman, is in sympathy a Black man, and as deeply interested in our cause as though his own soul had been pierced with the iron of slavery."

In honor of our annual MLK Dinner, we’re bringing you #4DaysOfMLK, in an effort to (virtually) celebrate the King himself.

Join us next month for a week of LIT events! 🗣 More info to come!

On 1/8, we remember the Battle of New Orleans, but that date also marks another event. On 1/8/1811, led by Charles Deslondes, the largest uprising of enslaved people in the USA began.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress." Frederick Douglass.

[Smithsonian’s NMAAHC @NMAAHC]

Frederick Douglass traveled to Washington, D.C., in 1862, determined to meet President Lincoln. Using his influence as America’s most well-known African American abolitionist, he pressured Lincoln in speeches and print. Now, he wanted to speak to him directly. #APeoplesJourney

Additionally, due to the #COVID19 pandemic, we had to cancel #HoosiersReadingFrederickDouglassTogether activities for 2020. We're looking into what 2021 will bring us as we reengage in this socially distanced world. For now, join the online discussion at:

And now, ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail.’ A masterpiece. “You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.” #MLK

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

In 1840, only a year and a half after his escape from slavery, at age 21, Frederick Douglass registered to vote in New Bedford, MA. Found the record at City Hall. He was then a refugee as a fugitive slave, an illegal immigrant, escaped "property." YOUNG PEOPLE! VOTE!!
