“Stay woke. Keep your eyes open.” - Lead Belly
The Scottsboro Boys, nine Black teens falsely accused of raping two white women in 1931, were sentenced to death. NAACP forced repeated retrials. They were finally freed but never recovered.
The first documented use of the phrase “stay woke” happened in the 1930s when Lead Belly ended his song about the Scottsboro Boys by advising Black folk traveling through Alabama to “stay woke.”
The term “woke" was created by Black people referring to being alert to systemic racial injustices. #BlackHistoryWithLana #Fresh

🧵Tomorrow is my mother, #CorettaScottKing’s, 96th birthday. She was so much more than #MLK’s wife and widow. Global leader, peace advocate, human rights activist, founder of @TheKingCenter (less than 3 months after my father was assassinated).
