Black History Facts!!!

#Happy90th

#NAACP

Born Myrlie Louise Beasley on March 17, 1933, in her maternal grandmother’s home in Vicksburg, Mississippi. She was the daughter of James Van Dyke Beasley, a delivery man, and Mildred Washington Beasley, who was 16 years old. Myrlie’s parents separated when she was just a year old; her mother left Vicksburg but decided that Myrlie was too young to travel with her. Since her maternal grandmother worked all day in service, with no time to raise a child, Myrlie was raised by her paternal grandmother, Annie McCain Beasley, and an aunt, Myrlie Beasley Polk. Both women were respected school teachers and they inspired her to follow in their footsteps. Myrlie attended the Magnolia school, took piano lessons, and performed songs, piano pieces or recited poetry at school, in church, and at local clubs.

Myrlie graduated from Magnolia High School (Bowman High School) in 1950. During her years in high school, Myrlie was also a member of the Chansonettes, a girls’ vocal group from Mount Heroden Baptist Church in Vicksburg. In 1950, Myrlie enrolled at Alcorn A&M College, one of the few colleges in the state that accepted African American students, as an education major intending to minor in music. Myrlie is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. On her first day of school Myrlie met and fell in love with Medgar Evers, a World War II veteran eight years her senior. The meeting changed her college plans, and the couple later married on Christmas Eve of 1951. They later moved to Mound Bayou, and had three children, Darrell Kenyatta, Reena Denise, and James Van Dyke. In Mound Bayou, Myrlie worked as a secretary at the Magnolia Mutual Life Insurance Company.

When Medgar Evers became the Mississippi field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1954, Myrlie worked alongside him. Myrlie became his secretary and together they organized voter registration drives and civil rights demonstrations. She assisted him as he struggled to end the practice of racial segregation in schools and other public facilities and as he campaigned for voting rights many African Americans were denied this right in the South. For more than a decade, the Everses fought for voting rights, equal access to public accommodations, the desegregation of the University of Mississippi, and for equal rights in general for Mississippi's African American population. As prominent civil rights leaders in Mississippi, the Everses became high-profile targets for pro-segregationist violence and terrorism.

In 1962, their home in Jackson, Mississippi, was firebombed in reaction to an organized boycott of downtown Jackson’s white merchants. The family had been threatened, and Evers targeted by the Ku Klux Klan.

In 1967, after Byron De La Beckwith's release in 1965, she moved with her children to Claremont, California, and emerged as a civil rights activist in her own right. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in sociology from Pomona College. She spoke on behalf of the NAACP and in 1967 she co-wrote For Us, the Living, which chronicled her late husband's life and work. She also made two unsuccessful bids for U.S. Congress. From 1968 to 1970, Evers was the director of planning at the center for Educational Opportunity for the Claremont Colleges.

From 1973 to 1975, Evers was the vice-president for advertising and publicity at the New York-based advertising firm, Seligman and Lapz. In 1975, she moved to Los Angeles to become the national director for community affairs for the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO). At ARCO she was responsible for developing and managing all the corporate programs. This included overseeing funding for community projects, outreach programs, public and private partnership programs and staff development. She helped secure money for many organizations such as the National Woman’s Educational Fund, and worked with a group that provided meals to the poor and homeless.

Myrlie Evers-Williams continued to explore ways to serve her community and to work with the NAACP. Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley appointed her to the Board of Public Works as a commissioner in 1987. Evers-Williams was the first black woman to serve as a commissioner on the board, a position she held for 8 years. Evers-Williams also joined the board of the NAACP. By the mid-1990s, the prestigious organization was going through a difficult period marked by scandal and economic problems. Evers-Williams decided that the best way to help the organization was to run for chairperson of the board of directors. She won the position in 1995, just after her second husband’s death due to prostate cancer. As chairperson of the NAACP, Evers-Williams worked to restore the tarnished image of the organization. She also helped improve its financial status, raising enough funds to eliminate its debt. Evers-Williams received many honors for her work, including being named Woman of the Year by Ms. Magazine. With the organization financially stable, she decided to not seek re-election as chairperson in 1998. In that same year, she was awarded the NAACP's Spingarn Medal.

Born Jomo Kenyatta Hankerson on September 26, 1969 (son of Barry Hankerson / CEO of Blackground Records)

In his earlier childhood, Jomo was trusted with the task of walking young Aaliyah and Rashad home from school when their mother couldn’t; they lived five (5) blocks from each other. Aaliyah grew up with many pets, including ducks, snakes, and iguanas. Her cousin Jomo had a pet Alligator (which even Aaliyah felt was a bit much).  

“I was in my last year at Pepperdine University when we started Blackground records in ‘91”, Jomo shared with Fader Magazine ( back in 2011).

After the R.K scandal, Jomo didn’t feel it was fair that the public villainize Aaliyah and ultimately, they felt they were blackballed from the music industry because of how difficult it was to get producers for the sophomore album. 

When Lifetime did their disgraceful Aaliyah biopic movie, Jomo shared the similarities he saw Zendaya going through that Aaliyah went through and shared with V103 that (like Aaliyah), “She’s just trying to get a job and just work, it’s not her”. 

When asked who he thought should play Aaliyah instead, Jomo responded, “I would love to get Zoe Saldana”. He continued saying, “I think she could pull off the acting part and she’s obviously gorgeous and beautiful”.

In Christopher John Farley’s 2013 book ‘Aaliyah: More Than a Woman,’ Jomo shared that the collaboration between Aaliyah and Trent was challenging to arrange due to their conflicting schedules. ⁠ ⁠ “They did get a chance to meet, they did not get a chance to work together. But Trent, creatively, is a very deliberate cat, and they were never able to coordinate schedules. And when Aaliyah's movie career took off, it made it really hard for us to find the time and coordinate with Trent. She was excited to meet him, and she told me afterward that he was absolutely as incredible as she thought he would be when they met,” Jomo shared.⁠

There is little to no other information on Jomo Hankerson's personally life (wife, kids, etc).

"I remember that once Rashad and Aaliyah got to Detroit, that Aaliyah and Aunt Diane would always be around the house singing. Growing up, Aaliyah would sing the whole Whitney Houston album" - Jomo Hankerson on growing up with Aaliyah.

Kenyatta University graduate wins big: Bags Kshs 10 million in SportPesa’s Goal Rush game

Derrick Mukeku Kasyoka from Machakos is SportPesa's latest multi-millionaire after winning Kshs 10 million in the free-to-play Goal Rush game.

SportPesa, Kenya's leading online gaming platform, crowned Derrick Mukeku Kasyoka as the second winner of the Kshs 10 million Goal Rush jackpot, making his life-changing win official during a special ceremony on Thursday. Derrick, a 38-year-old Kenyatta University graduate with a degree in Education, correctly predicted the outcome of three matches in the thrilling Goal Rush game, which is free to play for all active SportPesa users.

Derrick’s victory comes just months after the first-ever Goal Rush winner, Stephen Visendi, hit the jackpot in May 2024. In this engaging game, participants predict which team will score first and the exact minute the first goal will be scored, and then share their predictions on social media. Derrick, thanks to his sharp mathematics skills, nailed his predictions with remarkable accuracy, winning the grand prize in only his third attempt.

“I'm overjoyed today. I've been a loyal SportPesa player since 2018, and though I’ve seen many people win, I never imagined I would be one of them. This is a turning point for me, and I hope to use this fortune wisely, investing in property and securing my family’s future,” said Derrick during the prize-giving ceremony, where he was presented with a dummy cheque by SportPesa Kenya ambassadors, Biggie and Sammyro.

Derrick revealed how his love for football, especially his favorite club Manchester United, and his strong mathematics background helped him make the winning predictions. “As I was going about my errands, Goal Rush popped up after placing a multibet. Something clicked in my mind, and I made my predictions based on the sequence of 13—goals in the 13th, 26th, and 39th minutes. My instincts were spot on,” he added.

Derrick now plans to invest wisely, focusing on property and ensuring his family's financial stability. He also encourages other SportPesa players to approach betting responsibly: "SportPesa’s Goal Rush is an amazing game, but always remember to bet responsibly. Luck plays a big role, but anyone can win."

What is Goal Rush?

Goal Rush is a free-to-play game on SportPesa that gives players the chance to win up to Ksh 10 million daily. To participate, players predict the first team to score and the minute the first goal will be scored across three pre-selected matches. Players must then share their predictions on social media for their entry to be valid.

How to play Goal Rush?

Predict which team will score first and at what minute.

Share your prediction on Facebook, WhatsApp, or X (formerly Twitter).

Stand a chance to win Kshs 10 million if all three predictions are correct.

Players also have the opportunity to win daily bonuses, with Kshs 10,000 awarded to the closest prediction and Kshs 1,000 given to the next 50 closest predictions.

Join the Goal Rush! If you're a SportPesa player, you can participate in Goal Rush every day for free. Simply make your predictions, share them on social media, and you could be the next big winner, just like Derrick!

Play Goal Rush today and experience the excitement of winning millions with zero stake!

Additionally, SportPesa's ‘Tujiamini’ initiative continues to empower Kenya’s sports and talent scene. With up to Ksh 30 million in funding, this campaign supports individual athletes, teams, and various talents across the country. Learn more and apply through www.tujiamini.co.ke.

Missives from messengers of the divine.

Elijah himself would have cowered in fear on Mount Carmel had he faced off with Kenya's latter day seers.

Nevertheless, Mr Njau's peculiar prophecy is why it's important not to confuse the MAU MAU who were ideologues with a cause, sometimes even intellectuals, sometimes even feminists, with these types of snuff imbibing seers who issue daring ultimatums on behalf of the god of Mount Kenya.

Yes, it's hard to picture it now. But there was an Agikuyu people, even before modern day cults such as Mūngiki prescribed that cultural revivalism should consist of illiteracy, female circumcision, misogyny, ritual beheadings, and pseudo-witchcraft.

Indeed, the Agikuyu were not only MAU MAU freedom fighters who inspired the likes of Mandela and Che Guevara, but were also at the forefront of Kenya's so called second liberation and boasted fierce political consciousness intellectuals such as historian Maina wa Kinyatti, literary scholar Micere Mugo who latterly taught at Syracuse University and for whom Ama Ata Aidoo wrote the poem Speaking of Hurricanes, not to mention the world famous Wangari Maathai biological scientist and first black African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Of course, the decline of the Agikuyu as freedom fighting individuals began soon after independence when Jomo Kenyatta and the sycophants surrounding him usurped the freedom fighter's narrative.

Mr Moi further pulverized the fight out of an already traumatized lot. Following the attempted coup of 1982 in particular, outspoken thinkers such as Micere Mugo were hounded into exile to the benefit of countries such as Zimbabwe where she helped craft their school curriculum.

Suffice it to say that a people with no public intellectual standing to speak of, firm political principles, or ideological currency to barter with, have since relied on their numerical advantage to vote as a bloc for whichever of Kenya's presidential candidates promises "peace" for the continuity of a favourable business environment.

Stern Warning! Mwenenyaga warned the US embassy in Nairobi, European embassies, British Army and the LGBTQ to vacate Kenya by December 31, 2024. Defying Ngai will be punishable by death. Thaai Thathaiya Ngai Thaai.
