On this date in 1955, Rosa Parks was tired after spending the day at work as a department store seamstress. She stepped onto the bus for the ride home and sat in the fifth row — the first row of the "COLORED SECTION." When the bus became full, it was customary for black passengers to stand up and let white people sit. Mrs. Parks wasn't having it.

She was arrested and fined $10 dollars, but Jim Crow paid much more. This small chain of events began the 13 month Montgomery Bus Boycott that galvanized the Civil Rights movement.

Rosa Parks sat down so we could stand up!

Happy 66th birthday to Ruby Bridges. Born on September 8, 1954, in Tylertown, Mississippi, Ruby Bridges was 6 when she became the first African-American child to integrate a white Southern elementary school, having to be escorted to class by her mother and U.S. marshals due to violent mobs. Bridges' bravery paved the way for continued Civil Rights action and she's shared her story with future generations in educational forums. #rubybridges #integration #southernhate #youngandbrave #greatblackwomen #blackhistory #blacklivesmatter #blackrevolutionaries #blackhistory #racismistaught #domesticterrorism #thesepeoplehadchildren #treasureourown #thingstheydontteachyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4Vckmpmou/?igshid=1xgtu78lopd9f

65 years ago on this date in 1955, 14 year old Emmett Till was kidnapped and murdered because Carolyn Bryant lied and said he whistled at her in Money, Mississippi. Her husband and his friends took Till away and beat and mutilated him before shooting him and sinking his body in the Tallahatchie River. Three days later, Till's body was discovered and retrieved from the river. Mamie Till insisted that there be an open casket at his funeral to show the world how brutal and despicable his murder was. 65 years later, we're still looking for justice for the constant lynchings of people of color. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. #emmittill #mamietill #carolynbryant #blackhistory #blackhidstory #whitelies #thingstheydontteachyou #blacklivesmatter #makebeingblackinamericalegal #legalizeblacklives #blacklivesdidntmatter #sameshitdifferentday #alldaylongthesameoldsong #defundthepolice #alllivesmattermyass #unjustifiedhomicide https://www.instagram.com/p/CEboExrJiv3/?igshid=rtmptfsjycw6

On August 16, 1904 In Statesboro, Georgia, Two black men, Will Cato and Paul Reed, were doused with oil and burned alive at the stake after an all-white jury convicted them of murdering a white family of 5. Angry whites from surrounding counties were drawn to the trials by lynching rumors printed in the Savannah Morning News. The rumors and unsubstantiated stories about the murdered Hodges children offering their pennies in return for mercy helped vilify Cato and Reed before the trial even started. About 1,000 men, with guns and whiskey in tow, showed up for the trial. They crowded the Bulloch County Courthouse the day the all-white jury delivered the final guilty verdict and the judge sentenced Cato and Reed to hang. But the verdict didn't satisfy their demands for vengeance. The mob kidnapped Cato and Reed with the help of the Bulloch County Sheriff and his deputies and nooses were placed around the necks of Cato and Reed anf they were tied with ropes and chains to a tree stump, each man was doused in 10 gallons of oil and burned alive before a cheering crowd. Hundreds of citizens brought their children to the scene to gather souvenirs. 2 kids even presented the judge with charred pieces of Cato and Reed's bones the following day. The day after the lynching, blacks were being whipped and beaten by mobs almost nightly. Many whites believed that there was still a ring of black criminals in town and others were just taking their fears and frustrations out on whoever was available, according to the reports. An unidentified black man was found,"shot to pieces," on Lott's bridge in Statesboro and an elderly black man named Albert Roberts was shot and killed in his Statesboro home. Roberts' 17-year-old son was also wounded in the incident, in which a mob selected their house at random and riddled it with bullets. #statesborolynching #willcato #paulreed #lynchings #domesticterrorism #whitesupremacy #blackhidstory #blacklivesmatter #makebeingblackinamericalegal #thingstheydontteachyou #hiddenhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9X3xiJJRZ/?igshid=1lt9oxdrvdomd
