!!!!!HAPPY FU*KING BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!!!
use this month to take extra time, if you don't already, to think and talk about what Black people have done for society. Black people have contributed a great deal to this world, through our cultural advancements and social and racial uplift. I urge you to take special interest in Black activism, Black politics, Black women and the Black LGBTQ, and other lesser known Black folxs throughout history. Find yourself in their stories.

RubyBridges, now 62 and the first African American child to attend an all-white public school, was born the same year that the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decided to desegregate the schools? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Ruby was in kindergarten, she was one of many African-American students in New Orleans who were chosen to take a test determining whether or not she could attend a white school. It is said the test was written to be especially difficult so that students would have a hard time passing. The idea was that if all the African-American children failed the test, New Orleans schools might be able to stay segregated for a while longer. Ruby lived a mere five blocks from an all-white school, but attended kindergarten several miles away, at an all-black segregated school. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 1960, Ruby Bridges' parents were informed by officials from the NAACP that she was one of only six African-American students to pass the test. Ruby would be the only African-American student to attend the William Frantz School, near her home, and the first black child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The image of this small black girl being escorted to school by four large white men (pictured above) inspired Norman Rockwell to create the painting "The Problem We All Must Live With," which graced the cover of Look magazine in 1964.

Fuck it. Let's get an early start. Let's talk about Eugene Bullard. Dude probably had the crazy soldier life ever.

Black History Makers: Eugene Bullard

blog.mahoganybooks.com

Buddy ran away from home at 11. Wanted to fight for America in WWI, but they wouldn't let him do what he wanted because he was black, so he went and joined the french foreign legion. He survived the deadliest battles in the war, but got seriously injured in one. At that point, he was no longer cleared to fight in the infantry, so he said "Fuck it" and decided to become the first black fighter pilot ever. He started out flying for the French, but the U.S. eventually allowed him to fly for them and he was instrumental in several major battles. When the war was over, he opened up his own nightclub in France where he basically had all the famous black people from the U.S. come over and perform and hang out. When WWII started, he became a spy against the Germans until the figured out what was happening, and then his peoples whisked him away and got him to the U.S. In the U.S., he wound up working as an elevator operator. Basically no one even knew who he was even though in France he was a national hero. When he died in 1961, he got full French honors. America didn't honor dude until 1994.
