Reposted from White supremacy is systemic. It lives in policies like law-and-order policing and access to public goods and services. It thrives in politics with systems that Americans rely on to elect leaders, like the electoral college, a process originally designed to protect the influence of white slave owners, which is still used today to determine presidential elections...
The idea of a simple popular-vote election struck fear in delegates from slaveholding states because while their states boasted large populations, much of the populace was comprised of enslaved black people who could not vote. By contrast, northern states had smaller populations with a greater number of eligible voters (read: white, male, and generally property-owning)...
Fearful of being outnumbered, Madison pushed for the electoral college, and championed representative government by state as a solution. Seats in the House of Representatives would be based on population size, and delegates from slave-holding states sought to have slaves included in the count for total population..
And so the states made several compromises. The first, known as the Three-Fifths Compromise, was a racist, manipulative policy that outlined the rules for legislative representation and taxation of the states. It read, “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.”
Enslaved black people, ordinarily only regarded as property, were declared three fifths of a person in order to strengthen the power of the white men who kept them in bo***ge. It would remain that way until the 14th Amendment granted citizenship to slaves in 1868.
The second compromise was the advent of the electoral college in deciding the general election. Instead of popular votes, electors would make selections on behalf of their states.

Today we pay homage to one of the strongest black women of the 20th century, Maggie L. Walker, whose dedication to economics helped pave the way for others.
Maggie Lena Walker was born in Richmond, Virginia on July 15, 1864. Growing up Maggie always knew the importance of hard work and dedication. Skills that helped her to graduate at the very top of her class in 1883. She then went on to teach grade school for three years at the Lancaster School, at the same time she took classes in accounting and business.• •
Mrs. Walker became an important community organizer for the Independent Order of St. Luke, a fraternal burial society that provided humanitarian services to the elderly. Walker started a newspaper for the St. Luke organization in 1902 called the St. Luke Herald. After the success of the newspaper she started the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank and became the first woman in the United States to charter a bank. She was also the bank’s first president. During the Great Depression two other banks in Richmond merged with St. Luke to become The Consolidated Bank and Trust Company which continues to be the oldest black-owned and black-run bank in the United States today.

Reposted from - On September 3, 1838 Abolitionist, Journalist, Author, & Human Rights Advocate Frederick Douglass Made His Notorious Escape From Slavery Traveling From Baltimore, Through Delaware, To Philadelphia & Finally Arriving In New York A Couple Days Later! Douglass Disguised Himself As A Sailor Wearing A Red Shirt, A Tarpaulin Hat, & A Black Scarf Tied Loosely Around His Neck. He Also Mastered A Sailor’s Accent To Better Convince The Conductor He Was Indeed A Sailor.
Reposted from August 28th in 1955, a murder took place in Money, Mississippi. Fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was kidnapped in the middle of the night by two white men, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam. They tortured Emmett, nearly beat him to death and ultimately murdered him.
For African Americans, the murder of Till was evidence of the decades-old codes of violence exacted upon Black men and women for breaking the rules of white supremacy in the Deep South. Particularly for Black males, who found themselves under constant threat of attack or death for sexual advances towards white women – mostly imagined – Till’s murder reverberated a need for immediate change.
In an effort to provide a space for history, truth, reconciliation and healing, the museum has acquired Emmett Till’s original casket. The powerful object not only helps tell the difficult history of racial violence and the Civil Rights movement, but it also gives pause to visitors and make them reflect in the same way that Mamie Till Mobley encouraged the public to do so in 1955.

Repost from “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”
Black suffragettes like Ida B. Wells did not celebrate 100 years ago. The right they fought for alongside white suffragists was not afforded to them by the 19th amendment. Today is a day we celebrate progress in our country, but we must remember that Black women had to keep fighting long after 1920.
Today's is dedicated to Fannie Lou Hamer who worked tirelessly to secure civil rights and voting rights for Black Americans.

Repost from In August 1962, eighteen African American people from Sunflower County, Mississippi, including activist Fannie Lou Hamer, traveled 26 miles from Ruleville, Mississippi to the courthouse in Indianola, Mississippi, to register to vote. Upon their arrival at the courthouse, the group was intimidated by men with rifles in the back of their pickup trucks who were circling the building. Upon entering the courthouse, the prospective voters were denied the right to vote due to an unfair literacy test. When the group was on the way home, Indianola police pulled the bus over and arrested the driver for driving a bus “of the wrong color.” Hamer used her powerful voice to sing songs that helped to calm the other passengers. Her voice would prove to be a powerful force in the movement for years to come.⠀
⠀
This month marks 100 years since the went into effect. Follow to hear from about the many, diverse women who fought for voting rights, long before and after the amendment passed. ⠀

Reposted from Part of anti-racism work is knowing where the language we use comes from. Understanding the history of commonly used phrases that became popular due to the mistreatment of and discrimination against Black people.
EDIT: please note that “historically” does not always mean “originally.”
That being said, “Tipping Point” has origins in physics, but this was it’s first use in sociology. Thank you to those who challenged and helped correct/educate!

Juneteenth, a portmanteau of June and nineteenth, is an annual celebration marking the end of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865. the day that the last enslaved Blacks in the U.S. were finally informed of their freedom, a full two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863.
Throwing it back two years ago when students from joined us on our hip-hop Music Studio Tour at . We look forward to being able to teach students about music production and sound engineering again!

Repost from Spent this morning educating myself. This world is nothing without the strength and intellectual power of Black women. So, here’s the beginning of a long list of Black women I wish I learned about in history class. Each of these women have a long list of accolades (i wish i could have included more about each of them!) but I suggest you look them up if you’re unfamiliar!

Throughout time black history has been concealed to fit the white wall construct we have held for much too long. Voices haven’t been honored or authorized the same rights when it comes to writing history.
These names I have on these slides changed the world we know today and they deserve to be honored for it. These names have pushed the limits of their time to fight for something they saw—opportunity and innovation.
