On June 30th, 1973, Alberta Williams King was gunned down while she played the organ for the “Lord’s Prayer” at Ebenezer Baptist Church. As a Christian civil rights activist, she was assassinated…just like her son, Martin Luther King, Jr. But most people remember only one. Until a month ago, I was one of those people.
I never knew this!!!!
Wow is this true? 😟
Very true. If you go to the church you can still see the bullet holes and everything.
Yep, I heard about this a few years ago and I was floored. I didn’t want to believe it, but this is true.
For 2017 I vote that we bring capes back into fashion.
your points are all valid, Edna. but see, most of us aren’t fighting crime every other day. the worst that’ll happen if we get one snagged in a revolving door is we’ll look a tad foolish.
Car doors house doors drawers getting caught in things, accidently dipping it into the sink or worse people sitting on it stepping on it spilling stuff on it wet paint people tugging on it constant source of accidentle strangulation.
Honestly the risks are worth it though. If we die, let us die looking fabulous! We can be killed by a thousand things every day regardless of fashion.
Black girls deserve to learn free from bias and stereotypes.
Most black girls experience this hatred at schools. And classmates are not the only problem, there is no support from teachers, too. That’s why they get so affected by their school experiences. Black kids deserve to be treated just like everybody else, they want to study, they want to learn something ,too. However due to prejudice they are 5 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers and it can ruin their lives forever.
National Women’s Law Center created this video to change the situation. Join the movement to help black girls feel normal and get the same opportunities everybody else has.
Over the holidays I played Ace Attorney for the first time and the fact that the game features lawyers in cravats got me thinking about these two lawyering rivals (even if they’re supposed to be on the same side of the courtroom.)
If this is supposed to translate to today, then you’re wrong. The situation today is completely separate from then. They completed their task. Everyone is more or less equal. You all can calm down
“Everyone is more or less equal”
Go tell it to the jails full of people of color, who are incarcerated five times the rates of white men who commit the same crimes, Go tell it to the people of color who serve jail sentences for non violent crime at the same rate as whites for assault, rape and murder. Go tell it to poor people of color who are held in jail for not paying fines, even though that is unconstitutional, yeah, we still have debtors prisons, for minorities. Go tell it to children of color and disabled students who are no more disruptive in school than their white schoolmates, yet are arrested and shunted into prison, Go look up ‘school to prison pipeline’ now tell me that we are all treated equal.
