Iranians Who Seized U.S. Embassy Release 4 Women and 6 Black Men (Published 1979)

The United States's "beef" with Iran started during the 1979 Hostage Crisis, where they held 62 American hostages they believed were spies.

What they dont tell you is they released all the Black hostages because they considered American Blacks to be oppressed

Ralph Ellison changed my life forever. One day I walked into the library in 2005 and checked out "The Invisible Man..."

and I never returned it.

It literally began my journey into the Black experience. He introduced "Juneteenth" into my vocabulary

Ellison was born 113 years ago today.

One *tiny* point to pick up: free Black communities already existed in these cities before. Besides the names that make it into books, these communities were a lifeline for those who could plan to liberate themselves, from hiding people to sending cash and even physically defending the newly free.

Rebecca Lee Crumpler becomes first Black woman to earn a medical degree | March 1, 1864 | HISTORY On March 1, 1864, Rebecca Lee Crumpler becomes the first African American woman to earn a medical degree. For much of...

It's Women's History Month.

And what better way to kick it off than to celebrate the first Black woman to get her medical degree exactly 162 years ago today.

Her name is Rebecca Lee Crumpler

I think this thread is the best piece of African American History I've seen this Black History Month 2026. Thank you to the author for crafting it. The scope, analysis, and synthesis of the grand narrative of the African experience in American history is inspiring and extremely valuable.
