I colorized it a few months ago and now it is on the walls of The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery
I’m very proud of this project. This one was colorized by me as well.

My page in this month's issue of @HistoryRevMag.

Robert Peary, 1909. The US explorer is pictured with his dogs, having arrived home after his final polar expedition. It was arguably his most successful mission, one he believed made him the first man to reach the North Pole.
Grab a copy: historyrevealed.com/magazine-issue…
Peary's claim to have reached the North Pole was widely debated in contemporary newspapers, but eventually won widespread acceptance. However, in a 1989 book by Wally Herbert concluded that Peary did not reach the pole, although he may have been as close as 60 miles (97 km).

Surprise! Check out my new series: The Tuskegee Airmen.

They were the first African-American pilots and some of the best military aviators in the United States Armed Forces.

I was of the opinion that the establishment Democrats would remove AOC , Ilhan , Rashida , and the Justice Democrats but it has become obvious that they now control the party. They will destroy the moderate wing of the DNC . These Radicals are here to stay .
AOC got every Presidential hopeful to endorse the green new deal.

Ilhan got Presidential Democrat hopefuls to skip AIPAC .

They now control the agenda and will only get stronger within the party because Democrats are scared to death of them .
Democrats are willing to lose a few elections in order to steer the entire party as far left as possible. What was extreme and radical a few months ago, is now standard Democrat policy.

Catch me up: when/why did everybody start saying "stan"?
Ok, I'll buy that this comes from the Eminem song. (Which yes, I know, that was pre kid and shit.) But...i've never heard it used or seen int #here until a few months ago and now its omnipresent, so what was accelerator?
honestly, I blame @SlackHQ

Did y’all know about the Ocoee Massacre that happened on Election Day in 1920?

I didn’t.

Not until we went to @MemPeaceJustice last week and I saw this lynching monument that left me asking, “What happened in Ocoee, Florida on 11.3.1920?”
The story is horrible. Black people try exercise their right to vote. Denied. They return armed. White mob runs them off. By the next day they’ve razed the town and lynched dozens of people and overnight an all black town becomes white.
Black folks wouldn’t live in Ocoee for another fifty years. Here’s more of the history here as told by a survivor.

1. It is altogether fitting that a memorial to the thousands of lynched black Americans should open the same week as Rev. Dr. James H. Cone's death; no theologian did more to condemn these atrocities—to expose in their deaths Christ's own crucified body.
nytimes.com/2018/04/25/us/…
2. As Cone wrote in his 2011 masterpiece, The Cross and the Lynching Tree, "The conspicuous absence of the lynching tree in American theological discourse and preaching is profoundly revealing, especially since the crucifixion was clearly a first-century lynching.”
3. He didn't just name lynching as modern crucifixion, though. Cone also condemned the white joy that accompanied the Jim Crow-era killing of black people—and tied it to white Americans' appalling silence when faced with present state-sanctioned murder of their black siblings.

 Yesterday was historical: The Equal Justice Initiative's National Memorial for Peace and Justice opened in Montgomery. This Memorial begins to break the silence on lynching.
2/
 One of the speakers during opening day activities, Reverend Barber, asked if we can memorialize the lynchings of the past without talking about today’s injustices.
3/
 As Montgomery's new museum, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, points out, mass incarceration continues the injustices of the past. As Alabama’s Attorney General, I will work so we have needed criminal justice reform.

True peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice.
