Today is an auspicious day in #USHistory. A Brown WOMAN, #LolitaLebron, tried to snuff a few congresscreeps😎

“On March 1, 1954... It was twelve noon when a woman and three men stood up in the spectators gallery. The small, slender woman grabbed her .45 automatic with both hands, fired the first shots and ☠️kept on going until her clip was empty☠️.”

YES!

It's an Auspicious day in #USHistory. It's the day they 🔥burned🔥 the Isla Vista Bank Of AmeriKKKa to the mothefucking ground.😎

"That evening, the unrest spread, as student broke the windows of several real estate agencies, set police cars on fire, and then began targeting the Isla Vista Bank of America building, ultimately burning it down... During the incident, several waves of riot-clad police were repelled by protesters."

"The #KentStateMassacre, which occurred on May 4, 1970, involved the Ohio #NationalGuard shooting unarmed #CollegeStudents during a #protest against the Vietnam War at Kent State University, resulting in four deaths and nine injuries. This tragic event sparked widespread outrage and led to the largest student strike in U.S. history."

Stop saying "DEI is being attacked." Civil rights are being attacked.

Before 1973, U.S. newspapers used to carry ads, "Help Wanted: Male" and "Help Wanted: Female."

Until 1968, it was legal to refuse to sell a house to someone based on their ethnic heritage.

This isn't ancient history. And this is what they're rolling back.

"From the forced assimilation campaigns designed to erase #Indigenous cultures to the all-encompassing white supremacist terror of the #JimCrow South, it was all too easy to think of ways the #GenocideConvention could be deployed against the US."

#philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker signed a law making civil rights trailblazer Caroline LeCount the first Black woman to have a city street named after her. Better yet, the street had previously been named after Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, the author of the Dred Scott decision in 1857. The city is currently renaming all of the streets named after him. #ushistory #Heroes #sheroes #civilrights #history https://www.phillytrib.com/news/local_news/philly-mayor-signs-into-law-making-caroline-lecount-first-black-woman-with-city-streets-in/article_ca1d0d8d-a119-535a-afd6-8c01774ed10f.html

64 years ago on this day in 1960, 6-year old Ruby Bridges walked into the William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, escorted by 4 federal marshals and made history by becoming the first African-American child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South.

Her courage and poise paved the way for the fight for Civil Rights and Justice.
