[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.

Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!

Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!

It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”

🧵 (⚠️ disturbing speach and images )

Rasheem Carter had called his momma and warned her on several occasions about having issues, he was having trouble with his boss he was afraid he was going to have him killed.
On October 2nd 25-year-old Rasheem Carter called his mother again saying he was being chased by 3 white men and the police wouldn't help. That was the last time he was heard from.
On Nov 2 police found remains belonging to him but claimed "there was no reason to suspect foul play" Which is amazing considering what we now know about the condition of the remains. (1/🧵

I’m here for the women who get abortions just because they want to. No explanation. If she does not want to be pregnant, that’s a good enough reason to me. I truly do not care. I’m done playing this morality game.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.
