As the #Trump regime deletes the bio of Gen. Colin Powell and the story of the 6888th Central Battalion (the 1st all black women battalion) from the Arlington Cemetery website and bans #Books about #blackhistory from being discussed in presidential #libraries it seems like a good time to talk about how to just exist in #america as a black person is a political act.

"Archaeologists with the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) today announced interesting artifacts found at the site of Ben Ross’ home, the place where Harriet Tubman’s father lived and where the famed abolitionist spent her teenage years in Dorchester County. ... While the archaeology site is not open to the public, MDOT created a virtual museum to share the history and interesting artifacts found​."

"The roots of sexism and homophobia are found in the same economic and political institutions that serve as the foundation of racism in this country and, more often than not, the same extremist circles that inflict violence on people of color are responsible for the eruptions of violence inspired by sexist and homophobic biases. Our political activism must clearly manifest our understanding of these connections." ― #AngelaDavis #BlackHistory

Important new report published today from the University of St Andrews: "The University of St Andrews and the Legacies of Empire, 1700-1900" - looks like a really thorough and well researched piece of vital work. Thanks to the researchers. zenodo.org/records/14975043 #slavery #slaveTrade #blackHistory #History #ScottishHistory #colonialism #StAndrewsUniversity #StAndrews #Fife #Scotland

ZenodoThe University of St Andrews and the Legacies of Empire, 1700-1900This report is the result of a research project commissioned by the Principal of the University of St Andrews. We aimed to investigate the legacies that colonialism, empire, trade and slavery have left to the University of St Andrews, both as institution and as a community of students and staff. As well as monies received, we investigated the personal or family connections of members of the University community. We sought to explore how members of our (historical) community had contributed to debates about enslavement and race, or about colonialism and empire; and to discover how British colonialism shaped the culture and community of our University. We focused on the period 1700 to 1900. Contents: Introduction The university, the town and the local economy Where did the university's money come from?

Boo hiss! #DC's #BlackLivesMatter mural will be erased. Look back at the iconic street painting

March 8, 2025

"#WashingtonDC's iconic 'Black Lives Matter' street mural, which has served as a powerful symbol of #activism and a gathering place for #joy and #resistance, will soon be gone.

"The decision to remove the enormous mural near the #WhiteHouse comes after a U.S. Rep. #AndrewClyde, R-#Georgia, introduced legislation earlier this week that gave D.C. an ultimatum: either paint over the slogan or risk losing federal funding. The bill also called for the area in downtown D.C. to be re-named from #BlackLivesMatterPlaza to Liberty Plaza."

'Fans of Bob might remember from his appearance on Showtime's taboo-rattling talk show Ziwe, his high opinion of Tubman as a badass (who could totally beat Spider-Man in a face-off). Produced by PEG records, "Queen of the Underground" has Bob the Drag Queen laying down the incredible facts of Tubman's life and hands-on abolitionism with a amped-up anthem vibe.'
