On this day, 26 January 1944, Angela Yvonne Davis was born in Birmingham, Alabama. A communist, civil rights organiser and the third woman to feature on the FBI's most wanted list, for a time Davis was also closely associated with the Black Panther Party. Davis worked at University of California, Los Angeles until being fired for her political views on the orders of governor Ronald Reagan. Soon after, Davis was arrested following the Marin county courthouse incident on bogus charges of murder, kidnapping and conspiracy of which she was later all acquitted at trial. Davis has also been a consistent advocate of feminism which takes into account factors like race, class, capitalism and transgender rights, and highlights the vital historical contributions of Black women: "When we speak of feminism in this country, there almost always is the tendency to assume that this is something that was created by white women… Women like Ida B. Wells, women like Mary Church Terrell, women like Anna Julia Cooper, are responsible for the feminist approach today that we generally call intersectionality… What I want to argue is for a feminist perspective that understands that we cannot simply reform institutions like prison and the police, because they are so embedded with racism and violence that, if we're ever going to extricate ourselves from that, we have to abolish prisons". * We only post highlights on here, for all our anniversaries follow us on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@workingclasshistory https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/2195303000654838/?type=3

Population: 200,733
Urban population: 774,956
One submitter commented, “This city has a lot of historical value. It's also a bit of a blue island in the sea of red that is Alabama.”
Another said, “Some of the coolest things you can visit are the McWane Science Center, Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, Vulcan Park and Museum, the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, and the Birmingham Museum of Art. I've been to all of these places, but my favorite is the McWane being my personal favorite since I went there a lot in my childhood. Also I had the privilege of seeing Weird Al perform live there at the Alabama Theater. It's one of the biggest cities in the state, but it can be a lot of fun to visit.”

Sonia Sanchez was born Wilsonia Benita Driver in Birmingham, Alabama. After her mother’s death in 1935 she lived with her grandmother. Her grandmother taught her to read at age four and write at age six. When her grandmother passed away in 1943 she moved to Harlem, New York where she stayed with her father Wilson Driver.
Driver attended Hunter College in New York City where she took creative writing courses although she graduated with a B.A. in Political Science in 1955. Continuing her education at New York University, Driver focused on the study of poetry. She also married and divorced Puerto Rican immigrant Albert Sanchez, although she retained his surname. She later married poet Etheridge Knight and together they had three children. They would later divorce.
In 1965 Sanchez taught at San Francisco State University. The course she offered at San Francisco State in 1966 on the literature of African Americans is generally considered the first of its kind taught at a predominately white university.
Sonia Sanchez released her first collection of poetry in 1969 entitled Homecoming. Her poetry was described at experimental and innovative; Sanchez was the first to blend the musical elements of the blues with the haiku and tanka poetry styles. She tackled many genres of literary art such as writing children’s books, and plays. Sanchez is most famous for her Spoken Word poetry books. She was awarded the American Book Award in 1985 for one of her best-known books, Home girls and Hand grenades.
Sanchez was a major influence in the Black Arts and Civil Rights Movements of the 1960s. She was an active member in the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) as well as the Nation of Islam. She was inspired when she met Malcolm X and used his vernacular in some of her poems. She left the Nation of Islam after three years of affiliation in protest of their mistreatment of women. She continues to advocate for the rights of oppressed women and minority groups.
Sanchez has received countless awards for her work including the P.E.N. Writing Award (1969), the National Academy of Arts Award (1978), and the National Education Association Award (1977-1988). She has guest lectured in over 500 colleges and universities. Her poetry has been heard worldwide in Africa, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean Islands, China, Cuba, Europe, and Nicaragua. Sanchez’s last faculty appointment was at Temple University in Philadelphia where she was the first Presidential Fellow at that institution and the first to hold the Laura Carnell Chair. Sanchez taught courses in English and Women’s Studies until her retirement in 1999.
Ms. Sanchez now resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Came across a post on Reddit full of people who're outraged with Ghira and Kali for letting Blake go to protests as a kid, and honestly it just really shows how this fndm has absolutely no idea about the history of protesting in their own country, let alone the world. "You shouldn't bring your kid to a protest! It's dangerous! It could turn into a riot! People could attack them. Racists could kill them!" Yeah that's kinda the point isn't it???? That the community is in disproportionate danger of harm because of racism? If racism can get Emmet Till killed, kids Emmet Till's age should be at protests against institutional racism. Literally every civil rights leader from Mandela to Gandhi to King knew how important children were in these spaces. But of course these people completely ignorant of history are gonna whine and complain about it. MLK literally set up an entire march JUST for children

The third is one of the classics in that negative sense, Plessy vs Ferguson itself
The Brown vs Board of Education case and Plessy vs Ferguson were products of the same institution. Homer Plessy was one of those men who could pass for white and did, which was why he was deliberately selected to challenge the evolving segregation system. And yes, it was evolving and it evolved after the 1870s over those 20 years before it was formally sanctioned. Segregation is technically a second-best outcome from the perspective of former slaveowners, and they were not entirely happy that Black people had as much as it allowed them.
The decision established the 'separate but equal' legal framework of segregation and did so again by twisting the 14th Amendment from its primary intended purpose. The Supreme Court literally used the amendment designed to ensure freedmen had fully sanctioned constitutional rights as people and civil entities under the law to provide a new means to fully sanction the neo-slavery sharecropping and chain gang systems.
The reality that as MLK put it in the Birmingham Jail letter 'segregation was legal' is true. It was legal, sanctioned by the highest court in the land. It was also a monstrous injustice and a warping of the law like the Dred Scott decision and should serve as a reminder that there have always been two Americas, one that believes in the illusion of 'a nation of laws and not of men' and one that knows it's 100% an illusion and has always been.

Civil Rights: Today we heard a lot about keeping stories and legacies alive. What is a story or a moment that you heard or experienced that you want to pass on to someone else?
Today we heard about the many stories and perspectives of the Civil Rights movement. We walked through Ground Zero of many iconic civil rights events, all centered around the Civil Rights institute. We also heard a first hand POV from a real foot soldier of the movement, who marched in the children’s crusade of 1963. I want to share Pastor Webb’s incredible story of courage in the face of racism. Our time in Birmingham culminated in the Shabbat service at Temple Emanuel, which was beautiful and moving.

Ahead of the AI Safety Summit starting tomorrow morning taking place outside of London in Bletchley Park, today, the U.K. government has confirmed more details about who is actually going to be attending the event. The list’s publication comes after weeks of speculation and criticism that the event’s line up — both in terms of topics and attendees — would fall short of giving a full representation of the different stakeholders and issues at play.
Organizers have said that some of the headline conversation topics will include the idea of catastrophic risk in AI; how to identify and respond to it; and establishing an agreed concept of “frontier AI”.
Depending on how close you think those risks are to reality, some of the ideas might appear more abstract, and less about some of the more specific and pressing worries people have voiced about the role AI is playing right now, for example in furthering misinformation, or offering a helping hand to malicious hackers looking for ways to break into networks.
As we wrote yesterday, the U.K. is partly using this event — the first of its kind, as it has pointed out — to stake out a territory for itself on the AI map — both as a place to build AI businesses, but also as an authority in the overall field.
That, coupled with the fact that the topics and approach are focused on potential issues, the affair feel like one very grand photo opportunity and PR exercise, a way for the government to show itself off in the most positive way at the same time that it slides down in the polls and it also faces a disastrous, bad-look inquiry into how it handled the Covid-19 pandemic. On the other hand, the U.K. does have the credentials for a seat at the table, so if the government is playing a hand here, it’s able to do it because its cards are strong.
The subsequent guest list, predictably, leans more towards organizations and attendees from the U.K.. It’s also almost as revealing to see who is not participating.
The 46 academic and civil society institutions include national universities such as Oxford and Birmingham (but not Cambridge); alongside international institutions like Stanford and several other U.S. universities (but not some you might have expected, like MIT); China’s Academy of Sciences will be present. Groups like the Alan Turing Institute, the Ada Lovelace institute, the Mozilla Foundation and the Rand Corporation will also be present.

Alabama Topsoil Suppliers
Topsoil in Alabama is the layer of soil found on the Earth’s surface. It is generally composed of organic matter, minerals, and microbes. Topsoil is a vital resource for plants, as it helps them to obtain water and nutrients from the soil. In addition, topsoil provides a way for plants to anchor their roots and provides a medium in which they can grow. Topsoil also helps to regulate temperature and provides a habitat for many organisms. How to Use Topsoil.com
Using topsoil.com is simple. When use the search function on the Topsoil Suppliers page to search your area. You can call any of our topsoil sites, check out their website, or contact them through our portal.
Questions to Your Local Supplier
When looking for a topsoil suppliers, there are many things to consider. The first question to ask is what kind of topsoil they offer. There are several different types, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. The most common type is loam, which is a mix of sand, silt, and clay. It’s a good all-purpose soil that can be used for most plants.
Another important question to ask is how the topsoil is made. Some suppliers use only natural ingredients, while others add in man-made materials. The latter can be beneficial in some cases, but it’s important to know what you’re getting.
You should also figure out approximately how much soil you need. Sometimes, this requires a trained eye. You’d be surprised how quickly 5 yards of dirt can be used up. You don’t want to get too little, but you also don’t want to get too much. If you finish the job with extra dirt, you’ll need to somehow dispose of the extra.
Additionally, be sure to ask the price per yard and whether or not delivery is included. Depending on the company, the price for 5 yards could be the same as for 10 yards! Some Alabama topsoil companies will offer a low price per each yard but then tack on a fairly large delivery fee. Others, though, will include the delivery in the per-yard price.
Lastly, make sure the AL topsoil business will be able to deliver to your address. Very often, these suppliers will only travel within 10-15 miles of their soil site.

With its rich history and culture, Alabama is a truly unique place to call home.
A visit to Alabama would not be complete without a trip to the Gulf Coast. Enjoy the sun and the sand at one of the many beautiful beaches. For a change of pace, take a hike through one of the state parks or go camping in the mountains. Spend a day exploring one of the many museums or historical sites. Try some of the delicious seafood or southern cuisine. Whatever you choose to do, you are sure to have a great time in Alabama.

The series “When They See Us” tells us the story of the story of Korey Wise, Raymond Santana, Yusef Salaam, Kevin Richardson and Antron McCray, the five boys who were wrongfully convicted of the brutal 1989 rape of a woman known simply as the Central Park Jogger. she was white, and she had been sexually assaulted and left for dead. The group of teenagers who were between the ages of 14-16 were coerced into confessing to the assault. Donald Trump who at the time was not a president, paid for ads and newspapers to bring the death penalty back in order to apply it to this case. DNA testing in 1981 done by the FBI proved that the five boys did not it commit this crime but New York Police Department and New York district attorney proceeded with the prosecution anyway. I think this clearly shows racism because everyone believed that the boys were guilty just because they were black, everyone who was around them was white, the victim, the prosecutors, and although the people in the jury weren’t all completely white, there was only 4 black people in that jury. This led to them being heavily influenced to believe these young men were guilty.
Tumblr media
“The Watson’s Go To Birmingham” portrays white supremacy as it follows a family who visits Birmingham, Alabama during the civil rights movement. During the movie it briefly talks over or shows the Alabama 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. On September 15th, 1963 the church was knocked to the ground, after the desegregation in Birmingham in May of 1963, white supremacists and white segregationist opposed desegregation which caused violence to enter the city. Eventually the church found justice when the FBI conducted an investigation to revealed the suspect of the bombing was apart of the KKK.
I chose this picture for microaggressions because the quote “you’re not like the other black people I know, you speak so well” is a hostile insult which was unintentional. This quote is something that a lot of black people here on a daily basis, it’s derogatory to us and is often times not seen as aggressive by the other person but it’s still derogatory and can be seen as insults.
This picture of an article shows how miscegenation was once illegal in earlier times. In order for an interracial couple to get married was to move to a state where it was already legalized and in some cases such as this one, you would be arrested when you returned.
I chose the series “Dahmer” on Netflix to represent systematic racism or in other words institutional racism. It shows systematic racism because it shows how one of his victims who was at the time 14 years old was led back to police after Dahmer lied to them. I believe the victim was led back because he was a person of color and Dahmer is white, not to mention the women who complained was a black women. Also Dahmer was arrested for a previous crime on a 13 year old boy and was let of by the judge. He only served a week in jail after he made bail.
Lastly, I think the movie “Princess and The Frog” shows white privilege throughout the film. In the movie it shows unintentionally shows how Tiana was lesser than her white sidekick. Tiana worked in the kitchen while her sidekick or best friend Charlotte was the product of a wealthy family, her father was one of the most wealthiest and powerful men in New Orleans, she was given everything she wanted and this gave her the shallow and spoiled personality shown throughout the movie, whereas Tiana is hardworking and is often absorbed into her work environment, she shows how working hard will eventually lead you to where you want to be and in her case that was opening her own restaurant.
