★ This immersive account from historian LaShawn Harris revisits the 1984 police slaying of a disabled 66-year-old grandmother that led to massive public outcry. The result is an elegantly written and riveting view of a pivotal but little-remembered political sea change. @beaconpress https://t.co/GIyEhyx9qz

From #SonyaMassey to #BreonnaTaylor, #AtatianaJefferson, #Sandra Bland, and #EleanorBumpurs, the killings of innocent Black women demand our action!!
#SNCC veteran Judy Richardson drops wisdom reminding us that anger is not enough!

@MayHiddleston1 @SHDetroit @PenielJoseph @wdet If multiple "MALES" could not disarm an elderly mentally disabled woman with a knife without killing her I question the recruitment process. And unless you are telling us all a woman close to 70 Yrs-old wielded a knife like a trained professional ninja then STHU! #EleanorBumpurs
@madameclair08 The contemporary starting point for all that has come after

Positioning her body like a Jet Magazine “Beauty of the Week” model, Eleanor gracefully placed her hand on her mighty and "magic hips,” slightly tilted her head, and flashed a glowing smile. #HappyBirthday #EleanorBumpurs #SouthernGirl #NYC #BX #SayHerName

I don't want to hear that she didn't speak English. That is NOT an excuse. We don't need to reinforce the language barrier b.s. cover.
#EleanorBumpurs again and again.
Police came and killed a 75 year old grandmother with Dementia.
Amelia Baca had dementia & her family called for an ambulance because she was having a mental health crisis.
She was holding a knife in her home and couldn’t speak English.
This didn’t have to happen!
Goal this summer is to sit and write in this lovely space. @BronxCCLibrary. #Bronxgirl #UniversityAve #EleanorBumpurs

In 1985, Bronx teenagers memorialized Eleanor Bumpurs. Black and Latinx students from JHS 120 dedicated several heartfelt poems to Bumpurs. They shared their tributes, "What Eleanor Bumpurs Means to Me," during a live radio WBAI recording.
Happy B-Day #EleanorBumpurs.
It's a good writing day when the C-Town supermarket on University Avenue makes it into the manuscript. #Bronx #1980s #EleanorBumpurs😊
