Black women who fought for reparations.

Àbáké Matilda McCrear (she was just two years old when she arrived in Mobile, Alabama, in July 1860, a captive aboard the infamous Clotilda, the last known slave ship to bring Africans to America. She died in 1940 at the age 82, making her the last known survivor of the last known slave ship.)

...Matilda had walked the 17 miles to Selma to request that she receive some compensation, too, for being kidnapped and brought to the country as a toddler. As proof that she was from Africa, she showed the marks on her cheek.

The judge denied her any reparations just as Timothy Meaher, the slaveowner who organized the illegal Clotilda journey, had denied reparations to the ship’s survivors back in 1865.

McCrear made a claim for herself and Redoshi.

Redoshi, also known as Sally Smith, was the second to last living, African-born survivor of North American slavery, and the only female survivor of the transatlantic slave trade known to have been recorded on film. Born on the coast of West Africa in what is present day Benin, Redoshi was one of about 110 West African children and adults who were human cargo of the schooner Clotilda, the last slave ship to reach the United States. She may have been 110 years old when she died in Alabama in 1937.

*************************************************

In 1870, Henrietta Wood Sued for Reparations—and Won

The $2,500 verdict, the largest ever of its kind, offers evidence of the generational impact such awards can have.

*************************************************

Callie House is most famous for her efforts to gain reparations for former slaves and is regarded as the early leader of the reparations movement among African American political activists. Callie Guy was born a slave in Rutherford Country near Nashville, Tennessee. Her date of birth is usually assumed to be 1861, but due to the lack of birth records for slaves, this date is not certain.

*************************************************

Belinda Sutton [also known as Belinda Royal/Royall] was the author of one of the earliest known slave narratives by an African woman in the United States and a successful early petitioner for reparations for enslavement.

Women pioneers of reparations

I’ve previously posted about Henrietta Wood. Here are some other early women pioneers for reparations.

Belinda Sutton

Belinda (Royal) Sutton was born in 1712 in Ghana. She was abandoned by her enslaver, who had offered emancipation upon his death or her transfer to his daughter. If she chose freedom he provided 30 pounds for three years so she wouldn’t be a public charge. In 1783, at 63 years old, Sutton filed a petition to the Massachusetts General Court requesting a pension from the estate of her former enslaver. In her petition she recalled her life in Africa as a joyful one full of love prior to her captivity and enslavement. Sutton’s testimony describing the happy times with family in Africa contradicted the narrative that the enslaved were happy in their captivity. She won her claim and was awarded 15 pounds and 12 shillings annually. She had to fight continuously for that award to be honored and paid.

Belinda Sutton’s […] petition of 1783 is among the earliest narratives by an African American woman. […] It has been seen by some commentators as the first call for reparations for American slavery [and] opens a rare window onto the life on an enslaved woman in colonial North America.

To read the full text of Belinda Sutton’s first petition, click here. All of her petitions are available through the Antislavery Petitions Massachusetts Dataverse, maintained by Harvard University.

Callie House

Callie House was born enslaved in Rutherford County, Tennessee, in 1861. In 1897, at 36 years old, she founded the National Ex-Slave Mutual Bounty and Pension Association (MB&PA) to seek financial support for former slaves left without resources. With Isiah Dickerson she traveled to former slave states to encourage others to join the organization. The organization was eager to petition Congress for a bill that would grant payments (reparations) and mutual aid for burial expenses. Their grass-roots advocacy grew in membership to hundreds of thousands of formerly enslaved residents all over the country. The government used three agencies to try to stop this movement: the Federal Bureau of Pensions, the Department of Justice and the Post Office Department. On September 1899, the Post Office issued a fraud order, without evidence, against MB&PA, which made it illegal for them to send mail, cash or money orders. House resisted by invoking the 1st, 14th and 15th amendments and hiring an attorney.

Congress rejected the pensions petition, as if it was not to be taken seriously, and postponed it indefinitely.

In 1909, when Dickerson died, House became the leader of the MB&PA. In 1915, under House’s leadership, the class action lawsuit Johnson v McAdoo was filed in U.S. Federal Court requesting reparations for slavery in the amount of $68 million. This amount was cotton tax money collected from 1862 to 1868 and held by the U.S. Treasury Department. A former slave, H. N. Johnson, led the charge as the plaintiff against U.S. Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo. The U.S. Supreme Court denied the claim. This was the first documented litigation for reparations for American chattel slavery in a U.S. federal court.

The following year, House was arrested on charges of fraud from the Post Office, convicted by an all-white, all-male jury and sentenced to a year in jail, deliberately hampering the reparations movement.

Callie House died from cancer in Nashville, Tennessee on June 6, 1928, at the age of 67. Source: Greenbelt News Review, BlackPast.org, RoyallHouse.org

Just listened to: “Doctor Who: Forty”

Celebrating four decades of the Fifth Doctor, with stories from across his timeline.

1.1 Secrets of Telos by Matt Fitton (4 parts)

Professor Parry’s expedition to the tombs of Telos was hardly an unmitigated success. The handful of survivors limp home in a spaceship… unaware that the deadly peril they faced from the Cybermen is not yet banished.

Into this situation stumble the Fifth Doctor and his friends Nyssa and Tegan - and they’re soon in a deadly fight for their lives.

Except things aren’t quite that simple - something odd is happening to the Doctor. He’s suddenly in a different part of his own timeline inhabiting his future self with no idea of why or how this has happened.

Who is bouncing him through time? And what could they possibly want?

Starring Peter Davison as The Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka.

Special guest stars Barbara Flynn as Professor Vansom, Christopher Timothy as Professor Parry, Tamzin Outhwaite as Morton, Nicholas Briggs as The Cybermen and Matthew Waterhouse as Adric.

Also starring Ronan Summers as Captain Hopper.

All other roles played by members of the cast.  The characters of Captain Hopper and Professor Parry are originally featured in the Second Doctor story The Tomb Of The Cybermen.

1.2 God of War by Sarah Grochala  (2 parts)

The Doctor is still being jolted through his own timeline, and has now found himself with Nyssa, Tegan and Adric in ninth century Iceland near a Viking settlement on the edge of a volcano. A settlement whose leader has just found a god in the ice.

The TARDIS crew are soon in a battle with the fearsome Ice Warriors. There are a lot of lives to save… and not just those of their new friends.

The Doctor’s about to find that his biggest battle may be with his own conscience.

Starring Peter Davison as The Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa, Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka and Matthew Waterhouse as Adric.

Special guest star Belinda Lang as Revna Ulfsdottir and Nicholas Briggs as Grand Marshall Xasslyr.

Also starring Matilda Tucker as Inga Kundsdottir.  All other roles played by members of the cast.

Both stories directed by Ken Bentley.

[This is a tight boxset meaning the stories need to be listened to in order.  While Secrets Of Telos and God Of War are self contained stories in themselves, there is a larger arc running through them and The Auton Infinity which is the story that makes up the next box set, Forty 2.]

hi there! i've been exploring your profile that last few days and can i just say i love all your ocs?? the effort you put into them is amazing! i can't wait to start on tds now :) but, in the meantime,✍🏻️!

Oh, thank you so much for that, Blu! I hope you enjoy what you find there - that fic has been a labor of love for the last three years and I've had a lot of fun with it.

I would love for you to meet Billie Mitchell. The daughter of a well-to-do Philadelphia industrialist, it would be easy for Belinda Mitchell to be nothing more than a pretty society girl. But Billie, as she's usually called, doesn't go for easy - or for following her mother's expectations, either. She defies convention by first attending the University of Pennsylvania to become a nurse, and then further scandalizes her family by taking her professional training to work at a shipyard, tending welding burns and industrial accidents that range from the unfortunate to the truly gruesome.

And some women would be content to let that be the end of defying convention- but not Billie. She enlists in the Women's Army Corps in early 1942, and volunteers to be part of the first class of female paratroopers under Lieutenant Annie Sutton, joining the rest of what I affectionately refer to as The Girl Gang down at Camp Toccoa in August of 1942. She's often found making jokes with her friend Molly Mahoney, providing needed advice to new replacements, and refusing to believe everything the rumors say about a certain lieutenant from Dog Company.

You can read more of her adventures here in her tag, on tumblr, and at The Darkening Sky, on AO3!

We’re celebrating the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation at Camp Saxton during our January Gullah Campfire Supper with Stories and Songs event. You will hear the reading of the document, see portions of the actual event re-enacted, be introduced to people who attended the event and left journal accounts, and hear songs from the program.

In addition to the program we will serve a farm to table meal featuring items from the original menu plus dishes that are commonly served during a Gullah New Year’s supper. See a replica of a Civil War tent and mess kit. Tony will wear a replica of a Union Army uniform and Belinda will be dressed in women’s period clothing. Hear the emotional response of the Black attendees to the speeches and the receiving of the flags by Colonel Higginson and then passed to “two noble looking black men, as color guard…”Corporal Prince Rivers and Sergeant Robert Sutton. It will be an exciting and educational experience. Tickets are available through our website, link in bio.

Camping is available on the farm through our Hipcamp sites.

Stopping Stone outside the Royall House, Medford, MA

“The face of your Petitioner, is now marked with the furrows of time, and her frame feebly bending under the oppression of years, while she, by the Laws of the Land, is denied the enjoyment of one morsel of that immense wealth, apart whereof hath been accumilated by her own industry, and the whole augmented by her servitude.” - excerpt, Petition of Belinda [Sutton, to the Massachusetts General Court, February 14, 1783] for a pension to be paid from the (confiscated) Royall estate

“Although the 1783 petition had long been known to scholars, it was only in 2015 that the launch of a comprehensive database of Massachusetts antislavery petitions brought to light additional petitions that allow us to track her persistent efforts to ensure that she received the pension confirmed by the legislature. A history of missed payments meant that Belinda would renew her claim five times over the course of a decade.“ - Belinda Sutton and Her Petitions (Royall House & Slave Quarters)

Heidi was my favorite part of the show. There were some very funny parts to the show, especially if you are a theater buff. There are about 10 mins of total blackouts, which is mostly a chunk in within the first 13 minutes. Depsite that, a nice capture and the audience was very into the show.
