Big Mama Thornton performing "Hound Dog". She released the song first in 1953 before Elvis Presley (1956), his biggest worldwide rock and roll hit record.

Thornton was a blues singer who helped shape the sound of Rock&Roll. She released the song “Hound Dog” in 1953 and it sold two million records and went #1 on the R&B charts.

Unfortunately Thornton only received about $500 from those profits.

A man in Boston shot his pregnant wife and told police a Black man had done it.

The city believed him instantly — and then tore its own Black neighbourhood apart looking for someone who did not exist. October 1989.

Within hours, police flooded Mission Hill. Over the following weeks Black men were stopped, searched, and strip-searched in the street. Homes were entered. Teenagers were pulled off basketball courts.

A man named Willie Bennett was arrested and named publicly as the suspect. His family's home was raided. His name was in every newspaper in America.
Stuart picked Bennett out of a line-up.

Then Stuart's own brother went to the police and said he had helped dispose of the gun and the wife's belongings.

Stuart died before he could be charged.
Boston had spent nearly three months believing a story whose only evidence was that a white man had said a Black man did it.

Willie Bennett was released. His life did not recover.
In 2023 — thirty-four years later — the city of Boston formally apologised to Bennett, to his family, and to the Black residents of Mission Hill, and the police department acknowledged what it had done.

One sentence from one man was enough to put a whole neighbourhood under occupation. It took the city a third of a century to say sorry for believing it.

Siddharth Kara just said it on Rogan: Britain paid the slave owners a fortune. Taxpayers finished the Bill in 2015.

£20 million.
Forty percent of the entire national budget.
Then they borrowed the money.
British taxpayers were still paying that loan in 2015.
Not 1850.
2015.

People who never owned a slave, never saw a plantation, were still on the hook for compensating men who treated human beings as property.

The Gladstones cashed one of the biggest checks.
Tens of millions in today’s money.
On top of the fortune they already extracted.

The enslaved got five more years of unpaid “apprenticeship.”

Then Britain just replaced them with Indian indentured labor and kept the machine running.
That’s the part that doesn’t make the museum plaque.

It's time to remind ourselves what Desmond Tutu said…

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

I found out about this when I was a kid after reading Zora Neale Hurston’s, Their Eyes were Watching God. Hurston would pass in 1960 about 40 miles from where the levee broke. She was poor, alone, largely forgotten and was buried in an unmarked grave.

Mandy Patinkin is an incredibly brave Jewish man. You can hear the heartbreak in his voice every time he speaks about what’s happening to Palestinians. He cares so deeply, and he refuses to stay quiet about it. Protect this man at all costs. ❤️

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Reginald Francis Lewis was the first black American to build a billion-dollar company. He was born on December 7, 1942 in Baltimore, Maryland. The creation of TLC Beatrice International Holdings, Inc by Lewis was an amazing feat of hard work, remarkable ingenuity and true genius from a man who grew up in a middle class Baltimore neighborhood. Lewis died on January 19, 1993 in New York City at age 50 due to brain cancer.
Reginald would have become the first black billionaire if he would not have succumbed to brain cancer at the age of 50 in 1993. At the time of his death, he was the richest African-American in U.S. history. Lewis started out as a attorney and became the first black man to head his own law firm on Wall Street. In 1987, he mastered a $1 billion dollar purchase of TLC Beatrice, a giant food distributor with 64 companies in 34 countries. Lewis would go on to run a business empire spanning four continents.
In his spare time, he mentored African-American students and entrepreneurs. Lewis donated $1 million dollars to Howard University and $3 million to Harvard Law School where a building is named in his honor. He holds the distinction of the being the only African-American with a building named in his honor on a Ivy League campus.
In the early 90's, Lewis tried unsuccessfully to buy the Baltimore Orioles. After his death, his brother and his widow Loida ran TLC Beatrice, they would eventually sale the company for billions. At the time of his death, Reginald Lewis was worth $500 million dollars.

Tulsa was not the only anti-Black massacre in American history. From New Orleans and Colfax to Wilmington, Elaine, Rosewood, Ocoee, and many others, racial violence devastated Black communities across the United States, destroying lives, homes, businesses, and generations of progress. While this map is not exhaustive, it serves as a reminder that these events were part of a broader history that deserves to be remembered, studied, and discussed rather than forgotten.

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

The press pursue a Black man to the end of his life and Parliament says nothing about their conduct.

Today, I raised the sustained harassment and intrusion Prof Jason Arday was subjected to in the days before his death and asked why Parliament is yet to see a statement on this.

[Dr Nafeez Ahmed @NafeezAhmed]

EXCLUSIVE: 1/15 Jason Arday was cast as a serial plagiarist. Three formal reviews had found no plagiarism or fabrication.

Police violently arrest Black man—for laughing at city councilman's comment.

Officer slams man to ground—after he was already voluntarily leaving.

Then 3 more cops jump on top of his back.

Jamaal Shabazz was at city meeting to oppose the increase to $400 Million police budget.

"They were saying they were going to kick people out when they weren’t being loud," he said.

"Just for a comment or even just a noise that they didn’t like."

Protesters also demanded the release of all bodycam footage of the shooting of 21 year old college football player Dalys Jett.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department police officers fatally shot him 9 times—and then lied saying he shot first before admitting it was friendly fire.

Incident occurred inside the Indianapolis City-County Building during the police department budget hearing.

A brief message on the manifestations of violence from King Center Founder, #CorettaScottKing: “May I remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.”
