On this day in 1908, Thurgood Marshall was born here in Baltimore. One of the city’s most famous figures, Thurgood Marshall was an American lawyer and civil rights activist who would later become the first African American Supreme Court Justice. Today also marks the 60th Anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a landmark piece of history prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. 🔗 Join us in celebrating Maryland’s Year of Civil Rights and explore a guide to Baltimore’s African American history and culture: https://lnkd.in/eWJ3WXxk 📍Statue honoring Thurgood Marshall at the U.S. Courthouse in @downtownbaltimore.

As we celebrate the birthday of the iconic civil rights leader Malcolm X in 2024, it is essential to reflect on his enduring legacy and relevance in today's social and political landscape. Malcolm X, born on May 19, 1925, continues to inspire generations with his unwavering commitment to racial justice, empowerment, and self-determination. In a world grappling with systemic racism, inequality, and social injustice, Malcolm X's teachings and activism remain as pertinent as ever. https://lnkd.in/gZGbMaqb

One week ago today, it was #WorldSocialJusticeDay! In honor of that day, especially considering it occurs during Black History Month, we want to shine a spotlight on an often mischaracterized and, subsequently, misunderstood group and movement in the U.S. — the Black Panther Party (BPP)! More often than not, the BPP was mischaracterized as comprised of anti-White Black militants; however, in reality, the BPP was a working-class youth-led movement that supported multiracial coalition building; supported their communities with equity-promoting Survival Programs, which provided free food, healthcare, and voter registration drives; promoted self-determination; and established schools in 9 different cities. Additionally, their vision extended beyond the national level. They saw the issues Black Americans have been forced to endure and face as connected to an African decolonization and global liberation movement. For example, Co-Founder Huey P. Newton drew comparisons between the Black American experience and the experience of colonized peoples, such as the Vietnamese. “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” — Assata Shakur https://lnkd.in/gcc-qZaS #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #historic #history #justice #socialimpact #socialjustice #education #educational #blackpower #blackpride #blackpanther #blackpanthers #blackpantherparty #coalition #coalitionbuilding #equity #food #healthcare #voterregistration #votereducation #national #global #colonialism #colonization #racism #decolonization #decolonize #liberation #freedom #breakthechains #love #protection #support #community #communitybuilding #communityengagement #communityhealth #communitydevelopment #communityempowerment #empowerment #empowering #pride

In practice, the concept of racial humility means that white people have an obligation to assume that they do not understand race and racism because they don’t have to understand it, and this is a manifestation and advantage of their white privilege.

The only real American woman I know would never sign Bills to support genocide Israel, but we know the likes of Fredrica Wilson and many African American legislators have. This is what must change in our American political system where thousands are hired to work for them in military- dimensional ways and the American Congress can’t pass Or get and Executive Order for Reparations and tax-exemption status as endangered human Beings called African Americans? Yet, some how across America Israel is getting trillions in debt funding from local American governments and America is facing immigration issues, homelessness, hyper-inflation, still covered in Racism 3000. Americans need real legislation that is squarely focused on helping us Americans. I have seen my own American Congress dish out massive amounts of funding to other countries, yet Governor of Michigan can’t fix the #flintwatercrisis still going on.
Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005) became the first African-American congresswoman in 1969. She was a lifetime civil rights and education activist. She was also a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus in 1971. In 1972, she became the first African-American majority-party (Democratic Party) candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Her campaign theme was “Unbought and Unbossed”. She survived 3 assassination attempts during her campaign. #shirleychisholm
