The College Board deleted from the curriculum of their AP African American History course many authors who opened my mind: Audre Lorde, June Jordan, Alice Walker, Nikki Giovanni, Kimberly Crenshaw, bell hooks, & more.
This is a very bad way to begin #blackhistorymonth2023

Yeah forget about my reparations joke I’m like dead serious rn, I’ve learned so much about the history of how my people were treated and how white people who I thought wanted our freedom instead wanted us to go back to our country and didn’t want the black man in the United States.

During this entire month I demand my reparations for what has been done to my people doesn’t matter how much you give me (as long as it’s $50 maximum)
My cashapp is here
I will also like as well for the Tumblr mogai community to support the black coiners and flag creators in this community, do not ignore our black voices as we are the reason the LGBTQ community has risen and got to where we were today our queer history goes back to Africa and continues to rise.

On the last day of Black History Month
Recently, a coworker of mine reminded me that I am a part of Black history. They had to remind me that I, as someone who has been marching for us since I was young, got PTSD from being shot at as a peaceful protester during the George Floyd protests, and probably led the first anti-Trump rally in my college town(we literally started marching first thing the morning after him winning the election was announced), have my own place in Black history, even if it’s never known, and deserve reparations.
If anyone wants to give:
