*Update: I had the wrong quotation on this earlier. . I was walking into my daughters school (@LREI ) this morning and I saw this on the #pococ wall for #bhm. I really thought this would be perfect to post. (Last week was #blacklivesmatter week too btw. You have to see some of the brilliant things these kids said in her #kindergarten class) . “The only way we’ll get #freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world.

It’s #bxbbkBHM time again. Here is a little #fact that I didn’t know until last year myself. “The celebration of Black History Month began as “Negro History Week,” which was created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian, scholar, educator, and publisher.” . #blackhistory #letustellourstory #factually #blackgenius #history #celebration #negrohistoryweek #blackonblackbk #blacketyblack #blackeverything #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlmagic #magicmagic #blackmagic #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #blaaaaacknificent #blackpower #blackpride #supportblackbusiness #supportblackart .

From @becauseofthem - On May 4, 1961, a group of Black and white civil rights activists boarded two buses in Washington, D.C. and set out on a mission to end segregation in public transportation throughout the South. Although they faced jail and angry mobs, they remained steadfast and focused on their goal to challenge Jim Crow laws and pressure southern states to enforce the United States Supreme Court decision (which ruled that segregated public buses were unconstitutional). As a result, segregation in transportation facilities were prohibited later that year. Check out the mugshots of a few of the nearly 450 Freedom Riders whose resilience and self-sacrifice helped bring national attention to segregation and racial violence endured by African Americans in the South. . 1.

Happy birthday to Rosa Louise McCauley Parks and Sofia Hernandez-White! . On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order to give up her seat in the "colored section" to a white passenger, AFTER THE WHITES-ONLY SECTION WAS FILLED. . So basically not only were they forcing us to sit in the back, they expected to us give up those very seats IF A WHITE PERSON WANTED TO SIT THERE. . #FOH . "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” - From her autobiography, My Story . In a 1992 interview with National Public Radio's Lynn Neary, Parks recalled: . "I did not want to be mistreated, I did not want to be deprived of a seat that I had paid for. It was just time... there was opportunity for me to take a stand to express the way I felt about being treated in that manner. I had not planned to get arrested. I had plenty to do without having to end up in jail. But when I had to face that decision, I didn't hesitate to do so because I felt that we had endured that too long. The more we gave in, the more we complied with that kind of treatment, the more oppressive it became.” . #hbd #rosaparks #bxbbkbhm #civildisobedience #blackhistory #letustellourstory #factually #whitesonly #history #jimcrow #segregation #blackonblackbk #blacketyblack #blackeverything #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlmagic #blackmagic #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #blaaaaacknificent #blackpower #blackpride #supportblackbusiness #supportblackart (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)
