Chairwoman Elaine Brown turns 83 today. She was the first & only woman to lead the Black Panther Party.
And she led it during its most turbulent time when Huey was exiled in Cuba & COINTELPRO had decimated its ranks.
She also oversaw the expansion of its survival programs.
Happy birthday to her

Racism is written all over this countryβs history.
There is absolutely no cleaning that up, no matter how much people try to WHITEwash U.S. history.
Just like DR, how are you celebrating independence when you were later re-colonized?

Fun fact:
You know the panhandle of Oklahoma?
That used to be part of Texas. But when it joined the Union they had to give it up to conform to the rules of slavery. That panhandle was just a bit too north of where slavery was allowed geographically.
It became known as "no man's land."
As Texas celebrates its Independence Day, let's not forget why Texas declared independence.
It was to be a slave-republic since Mexico had abolished slavery 7 years prior.
Six Flags got its name because Texas switched hands six times:
Mexico
France
Spain
Independence
Confederacy
United States
"It felt like Sojourner Truthβs hands were pushing me down on one shoulder and Harriet Tubmanβs hands were pushing me down on another."
It was 71 years ago today that our recent ancestor would set off a chain reaction that would reverberate throughout the world in ways even she couldn't imagine.
