Ida B. Wells was born a slave. She faced prejudice all her life. Less than five feet tall, her massive presence left a permanent mark on America, leaving behind a legacy of journalistic excellence and social change.

Here’s her story. #InternationalWomensDay
Ida’s parents died when she was 16. She dropped out of school, lied about her age, and became a teacher to support her siblings.

At the same time, the dream of Reconstruction was dying, and the violent authoritarianism of Jim Crow racism was rising.
Ida B. Wells made it her mission to fight for justice, and particularly to expose lynchings of Black men as hate crimes.

It was not a punishment for crimes, she wrote, but “an excuse to get rid of Negroes who were acquiring wealth and property.”

When @OrlandoPolice’s first Black officers—Belvin Perry Sr. and Richard Arthur Jones—began their careers in 1951, they had secondhand cars and no radios.

They could issue arrests, but if the suspect was white, they weren’t allowed to take them to jail. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM
Despite these challenges, they served Orlando with professionalism and distinction.

Belvin Perry Sr., Richard Arthur Jones, John W. Jordan, Otha Lee Kelly, Mayo Howard and Gainous Wright were the first Black officers for the @OrlandoPolice
Louis Crooms, Leroy Williams, Tommy Ward, Jimmie Randle, Luis Demps, Roosevelt Sealey and William Williams were the first Black deputies for the @OrangeCoSheriff.

When Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune was a child, she picked up a book. Other children, seeing that she was Black, told her "put that down, you can’t read." That moment started a lifelong commitment to education & civil rights and launched an unparalleled legacy. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM Image
In her "last will and testament," she wrote, "I am aware that it will overtake me before the greatest of my dreams – full equality for the Negro in our time – is realized. Yet, I face that reality without fear or regrets."

Read it for #BlackHistoryMonth:

Mary McLeod was the 15th child to former slaves.

Over the course of her extraordinary life, she became one of America’s leading advocates for education, civil, and voting rights, the founder of @bethunecookman, and an advisor to five U.S. presidents. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM Image

you guys, i’m having a lovely time in my eerily deserted city. i already had covid19 in early feb, i stay stocked up on supplies + i love a reason to knit and read at home all day

i know it’s new to a lot of people, though, so let me be your infectious disease/shut-in guide. AMA
the first thing everybody’s going to want to do is learn how to knit. we’ve all got some long days at home to put in and you can only binge so much tv. knitting keeps you mentally stimulated AND it has a ton of mental and emotional health benefits to ease those pandemic nerves.
the next thing you want to do is buy in bulk and, if possible, get that shit delivered, rather than go to the store.

you live in a small space and can’t store bulk items, you say? so do i. get creative. make it work. you’ll be thankful for that case of tissues later.

Looks like @0ctoberReignz is onto something here... the image we have been bombarded with as being “Coronavirus” (specifically 2019-nCoV) is not an actual image of #COVID. It’s a rendition of another virus. In fact, we barely have a decent image of COVID at all!
Here is the best image we have of #COVID / #Coronavirus from the #Wuhan outbreak... this is it... this is the real image.

Doesn’t exactly look like the pretty modeled image we saw just a moment ago does it? Nope... not at all!
What we DO have... is a Electron Scanned Microscopic image of Influenza A... as correctly pointed out by @0ctoberReignz ... so... WTF??

There is definitely something way way off going on here

Coronavirus #COVID -19 appears to be jumping at a rate of 117 new cases per hour. Monitoring closely as this seems to indicate a faster rate of infection than was previously reported. Could be an anomaly. The deaths did not jump however... so that’s good.
