She was 78.

Assata. 🕊️🖤

Assata Shakur died free

Rest in power, Assata Shakur.

Tweet from Tanisha long with pictures of Assata “Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her. Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken. Rest Free, Assata.”

assata was the best of us. a revolutionary who was determined to be free by any means necessary. our north star forever and always. assata taught us that we will win our liberation and that the most important thing in the world for us is to struggle. rest in power assata shakur

R.I.P. Assata Shakur 🙏🏽❤️✊🏽

“Pastor i feel like im losing my faith”

Lose it…. Allow yourself to be transformed and begin again

Writer, poet and social reformer Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) was born to free Black parents 200 years ago today in Baltimore, Maryland. She was a leading campaigner for abolition, women's suffrage and temperance. She lived the latter part of her life in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“all men are created equal” was a lie even then. they didn’t mean:

-enslaved Africans
-indigenous people
-women
-poor whites without property

they meant land-owning white men. and even many of them were on the fence.

The cover of Eric Gardner’s book Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s Civil War and Reconstruction. On a blue background, the largest portion of the cover reproduces a C19 engraving of African American author-activist Frances Ellen Watkins Harper from William Still’s 1872 The Underground Rail Road. The portrait shows her head and upper body. She is wearing traveling clothes, and she is in three-quarters profile, facing to the left. Her hair is pulled back in her signature chignon, and she looks ahead with wisdom and determination. The engraving lines can be seen throughout the portrait, especially on her skin and her dress. A mostly-opaque yellow rectangle rests perhaps two-thirds of the way down the cover below Harper’s chin and neck. Here, inside a thin brown border, the words “Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s” are offered in brown all caps, followed by the words “Civil War and Reconstruction” in smaller white all caps, followed by a partial centered line, followed by the author’s name in smaller brown all caps.

Tamir Rice would have turned 23 today. He should be here, celebrating with his family. Instead, we honor his memory and recommit to ending the violence that takes too many, too soon.

Chapter 31. 💜

30 went by lightning fast, but the blessings were abundant. New dream job, new car, moving in 5 weeks to a new apartment in a new city, and a new title loading: Doctor. Excited to see what God does in this next chapter. ✨
