There are not enough words to express how very much I love my child. Pouring love into another human being, then watching them grow, and becoming the beneficiary of that same love is the greatest gift I could ever receive.

Not unelected billionaires.
Not giant corporations.
Not special interests.
Not their families.
Not their ultra-wealthy friends.
The people.
Sam Nordquist. What happened to him was unfathomable, horrific, and downright depraved. Don’t ever forget this name….Sam Nordquist.

It’s Fancy February, the time when folx are banging down the doors of people who are engaged in the work of preserving & sharing Black stories. We’ll be exhausted on March 1st, but are still fancy all February. This work is 365 days/year. Consider that we can bring it any month, not just February.

Fugitive Slaves in the Dismal Swamp, Virginia, by David Edward Cronin, 1888
Osman, an escaped slave in the Great Dismal Swamp by David Hunter Strother, 1856
The Great Dismal Swamp is a 190 sq mile swamp running from SE Virginia to NE North Carolina. Before the Civil War, it was home to 1000s of formerly enslaved people. References can be found to the formerly enslaved (known as maroons) who settled in the swamp dating back to well before the 1700s.

Garden of Eatonville
Eatonville, Fla was officially incorporated on August 15, 1887 by 27 registered Black voters. Columbus H. Borger, a Black man, served as its 1st mayor. 7 years later, Zora Neale Hurston’s family moved to town. Her father would go on to become mayor of Eatonville in 1897.
The 15th Amendment, giving Black people the right to vote, was ratified on this date in 1870. It specifically prohibits the US government from denying any citizen the right to vote based on their "race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”
Some folx need to read this again. 🙄

POET TO BIGOT
I have done so little
For you,
And you have done so little
For me,
That we have good reason
Never to agree.
I, however,
Have such meagre
Power,
Clutching at a
Moment,
While you control
An hour.
But your hour is
A stone.
My moment is
A flower.
