"Be brave enough to teach the history they are trying to erase." This will be our highest calling in the years to come. Black History is a communal history. A rich history of achievement and possibility. It embraces diversity, incluson and equity. #BlackHistoryMatters

#Florida students are giving up Saturdays to learn #BlackHistory lessons their schools don’t teach
By KATE PAYNE
Updated 12:15 AM EST, December 21, 2024TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — "Buried among Florida’s manicured golf courses and sprawling suburbs are the artifacts of its slave-holding past: the long-lost cemeteries of enslaved people, the statutes of #Confederate soldiers that still stand watch over town squares, the old #plantations turned into modern subdivisions that bear the same name. But many students aren’t learning that kind of Black history in Florida classrooms.
"In an old wooden bungalow in Delray Beach, Charlene Farrington and her staff gather groups of teenagers on Saturday mornings to teach them lessons she worries that public schools won’t provide. They talk about #SouthFlorida’s #Caribbean roots, the state’s dark history of #lynchings, how #segregation still shapes the landscape and how #grassroots #activists mobilized the #CivilRights Movement to upend generations of oppression.
[...]
"When Sulaya Williams’ eldest child started school, she couldn’t find the comprehensive instruction she wanted for him in their area. So in 2016, she launched her own organization to teach Black history in community settings.
"'We wanted to make sure that our children knew our stories, to be able to pass down to their children,' Williams said.
"Williams now has a contract to teach Saturday school at a public #library in Fort Lauderdale, and her 12-year-old daughter Addah Gordon invites her classmates to join her.
"'It feels like I’m really learning my culture. Like I’m learning what my ancestors did,' Addah said. 'And most people don’t know what they did.'"

In the newest leg of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' crusade against "wokeness," the state's Board of Education on Wednesday approved new standards for its African American history curriculum that distort historical events and omit important context -

In my 3rd #kentucky #blackhistory video of 2023, I talk about the Shelbyville Community Remembrance Project Coalition, formed in 2019 to memorialize the six Black men murdered by #lynching in the county (that we know of). Through the SCRPC, as of 2021, Shelbyville is the first town in Kentucky to officially memorialize lynching victims.

I’m listening to the #ChrisHayes podcast- he’s interviewing Minnijean Brown-Trickery, one of #LittleRockNine He asks her if there were any nice white kids. She responds that there were about 20 nice kids, 200 mean kids, and 1800 who said and did nothing but watched. And that there is the societal breakdown of good and evil…then and now. #blackhistorymonth #BlackHistoryMatters #blacklivesmatter #blm

For #BlackHistoryMonth, a Wikipedia article I started a while ago on The Bog, a 19th-century Charlottetown neighbourhood of Black enslaved persons, and later a mixed-race slum. The Bog was gentrified (read: bulldozed) in the early 20th century.

Did you know that #AaronBurr had two children with an #Indian woman born in Calcutta who worked as a servant in the household of his second wife?
In 2018, Louisa and John were acknowledged by the Aaron Burr Assoc as the children of Burr after a descendant of John, provided both documentary evidence and results of a DNA test to confirm a familial link between descendants of Burr and descendants of John Pierre.

From African & Black History on Twitter
@[email protected]On this day in 1969, activist and chairman of the Black Panther Party Fred Hampton, was assassinated by Chicago police and the FBI at just 21 years old.
William O'Neal, an FBI informant, infiltrated the Black Panthers and set up Fred Hampton for $300.
A THREAD [ condensed from Twitter ]
In Illinois, where Fred Hampton was born, the police constantly harassed black people. Access to social goods too was made difficult, if not curtailed, in the areas with heavy black populations.
The party, a creation of Huey Newton and fellow student Bobby Seale, insisted on black nationalist response to racial discrimination. The party’s Illinois chapter was opened in 1967 and Hampton joined in 1968, aged just 20.
when Stokely Carmichael’s Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) split from the Panthers in 1969, Hampton headed the Illinois chapter of the Panthers.
Then a petty criminal, O’Neal was coerced by the FBI into helping them silence Hampton and the Black Panther Party. And he did just that when he infiltrated the party and provided the FBI with a floor plan of the Chicago apartment where Hampton was assassinated in 1969.
