Open-range cattle ranching in the U.S. started in the South Carolina lowcountry during the Colonial period. The first “cow boys” were the enslaved ancestors of the Gullah Geechee, who brought this African style of raising cattle here.

On Feb 25, 1863, Union soldiers informed the enslaved Gullah Geechee ppl of Georgetown, SC that they were free.
This year, @GullahGeChamber celebrated Emancipation Day by streaming a 3-day, community read-a-thon of the FULL TEXT of “Black AF History”
I couldn’t be more grateful

Working on a post tomorrow about okra—you’ll never see it the same way again.

From okra and rice to fried okra to gumbo, Gullah Geechee have cooked with this fruit—yeah, it’s not a vegetable—since the ancestors brought it to these shores. But did you know it’s part of our folks medicine tradition too?

Sixty years ago, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom showed us what's possible when ordinary people come together to push for change. Now it’s up to all of us to protect and build on that progress, and create a better future for generations to come.

There’s a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.”
As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor."
Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.

Horryfying footage showing the current scale of the forest fire that hit Alberta, Canada. 10,000 hectares of trees involved. Forest fire season is occuring earlier, and lasting longer. There is nothing normal about what's happening.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Our hearts are with the families of those targeted and killed in today’s racially motivated attack on the Black community in Jacksonville, Florida. No family, no community and no nation should be forced to experience this hate-fueled violence.

This is Vanessa. She was surrendered to the Villalobos Rescue Center in 2012 when she was just a puppy. Despite being described as sweet, well behaved, and simply perfect by shelter founder Tia Torres, Vanessa had been waiting for a forever home for over a decade…
ALT a black pittie with a white snout and a very sugary senior face smiles in front of a fence. she has white on almost all of her toes and a big white splotch on her chest.
ALT a little puppy vanessa stands just inside an aging door frame and looks cautiously at the camera. she has the same little white toesies and white snout, but none of the distinguished silver she’ll get in her senior years. her forehead is wrinkled a little because she’s trying to figure out why no one wanted to keep her yet.

Fewer than 1% of architects are Black women! This led Kelly Flowers to start Women Leading Technology -- non-profit that offers young girls courses in architecture! These girls will design the buildings of the future. What an important initiative!

Please take a moment to thank #RubyFreeman and her daughter #ShayeMoss for bringing attention to the attempts to overturn the Georgia vote. These brave women were threatened by #RudyGiuliani & #HarrisonFloyd non-stop yet fought for accountability. RT if you're grateful to them.

Black people still being murdered by white supremacists but we're told we live in a colorblind society and "wokeness" is the problem. This is, as always, America.

Sending all my love to the families of Angela Michelle Carr, Anolt Joseph Laguerre Jr. and Jerrald De’Shaun Gallion—families who never wanted their loved ones to be on the latest page of racist White terror in a state that has banned that history book. 1/2

Racism is not mere dislike.
Racism is driven by an ideology of supremacy + power (being in it, fear of losing it, and by a grotesque desire for more of it).
So if a person is indoctrinated to believe that their race should always be in power, but is losing it…

The 3 Black people killed by an avowed white supremacist/hater of Black people:
Anolt "AJ" Laguerre Jr., 19
Jerrald De'Shaun Gallon, 29
Angela Michelle Carr, 52
Our children need to be truthfully and lovingly educated so that they, too, won’t be indoctrinated.
