Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Rhinestones on the outside, gold on the inside. 💛

Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he TRULY was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian internationalist who was deemed an enemy of the State and assassinated for his radical work. Just about everything else is a lie.

During the height of lynching n 1892, the white press blamed it on black criminality. A dying Frederick Douglas, a young W. E. B. Du Bois and a opportunist Booker T. Washington believed the white press. But a black woman pushed back against the narrative. Her name is Ida B. Wells
