#SundayService: “Pastor of the Pentecostal Church, Chicago, Illinois” by Russell Lee is from the Farm Security Administration Collection in our Photographs and Prints Division. Lee (1903—86) was best known for his work with the Farm Security Administration, an agency created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937 as part of the New Deal to combat rural poverty. Lees images captured everyday people going about their daily lives.#Goodmorning #BlackChurches #ChurchService #BlackHistory (Image ID: 1260227) - @schomburgcenter on Instagram

When I joined the FDNY IN 1996 there were about 10,000 firefighters on the job. Out of the 10,000, less then 2% were African American which turned out to be roughly 200 black firefighters. With these low numbers most of the black firefighters knew each other pretty well. Out of the 12 black firefighters that perished on 9/11 I worked with 4 of them and wanted to share some history about them. I worked with Leon Smith in engine 205 and Ladder 118 in Brooklyn Heights. He was known as the Gentle Giant and we played on the house basketball team. I worked with Vernon Cherry who was also in Engine 205 and Ladder 118. Vernon Cherry also sang the national anthem at all of the FDNY events, he had a beautiful voice. If you google the firehouse you will see pictures of the fire truck responding to 9/11 on the Brooklyn Bridge. Shawn Powell worked in my firehouse for about a year then went back to his original Firehouse in Brooklyn. Our sons went to the same school and we remained great friends after he left my firehouse in Harlem. Andre Fletcher has a twin brother who is also a firefighter and we all played on the FDNY football team. Terrell Coleman also played on the FDNY football team. The rest of the black firefighters I would see from time to time and heard many stories about the veteran guys like Captain Vernon Richards, William Henry, and Ronnie Henderson. These guys paved the way to make it a little easier for other Black firefighters coming on the job. Legends and heroes who I will always have in my heart. ✌🏿 - @hishamtawfiq on Instagram

What does reflecting on anti-blackness involve psychologically? A confrontation of the deidealised, ugly and hateful parts of ourselves. It brings a discomfort that we want to get rid of (picture 2 from my thesis). Is posting on social media a quick relief from that discomfort? It’s an action, but maybe also a movement away from truly being with our own oppressive and uncomfortable feelings and behaviours, and the horrific impact of the harm on black lives. I’m taking active and reflective time away from screens and leaving a link in my bio for full pdf downloads curated so generously by @alijahwebb of Baldwin, Malcolm X, Fanon books and more. The revolutionary offerings of love from the black writers in this folder help me understand knowing, beyond what is deemed ‘legitimate knowledge’ by the white walls of academia. Here’s one of my favourite parts of James Baldwin’s seminal essay ‘The fire next time’ on the discomfort that arises in deconstruction of whiteness. #jamesbaldwin #thefirenexttime #psychologyofoppresion #antiblackness - @sanah_ahsan on Instagram

Hellier was best known for his contemporary and historical street scenes. Moments after this photo was taken, Hellier and his onlookers were told to pack up and move on as they were creating a public disturbance. Hellier later said that he was one or two strokes away from finishing the painting, but they insisted he leave immediately. #onlyoncollins Thank you to @theageaustralia and @theagearchives for this photo and its story. - @collinsstreet on Instagram

#tbt In 1990 I wrote the song #leavethegunsathome with @greg_phillinganes_live which we then recorded with Al Green @royalstudiosmemphis in Memphis. Willie Mitchel was there and helped keep the 24 track rolling when it seemed to be lagging. ( that’s a whole other story). But when we released the track in 1991 Al and I got the opportunity to meet up with James Brady, Reagan’s press press secretary who had been paralyzed in the Reagan’s assassination attempt and later started an organization that wrote and helped pass the Brady Bill. We met with him in Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church after having breakfast @sylviassoulfoodbrand - can you imagine having breakfast there with Al Green?? Line out the door. Just wanted to big up @bradybuzz who continue the work of James Brady to this day. Hopefully I’ll have some new info re the song soon. - @arthurhbaker on Instagram

From the 1920s to the 1960s, motion picture theaters enlivened the city of #Hartford. Main Street glowed from the luminous marquees of the Loew’s Poli, the Poli Palace, the Crown, and the Strand. The Allyn and E. M. Loew’s stood on Asylum Street, the Colonial on Farmington Avenue, the Lenox on Albany Avenue, the Princess and the Regal were on State Street, the State Theatre on Village Street, the Webster on Webster Street, and others. In addition to the double features these theaters screened cartoons and newsreels, and some included Wurlitzer music. Hartford’s motion picture theaters were magnificent. Their designs reflected architectural trends of the day.

image from the Selma March, 1965. Same message, 55 years later. I’ve been sitting with what I wanted to share at the end of a week that has been traumatic, enraging, and energizing. I’ve been vigilant on Stories, having the best conversations of my life and also the most awkward conversations as we process, and joining protests to Defund The Police. I’ve seen our follower count fall but at the same time rise with new, engaged people — I conclude that the results are net neutral, actually even net positive as we align ourselves with likeminded community. People who are compassionate, who are always seeking, who don’t turn away. If anyone else is anxious about posting online, there - you have my experience getting political, which didn’t hurt at all. Attention is a resource you can give. Staying silent in times of injustice IS Privilege. A lot of our followers are other designers. I’ve always noticed this. Here’s what I see is our role. We’re not just creating pretty pictures. We work in a luxury industry on houses in neighborhoods that historically benefit from class hierarchy, keeping money and power insular, gerrymandering, keeping certain groups of people out, and gentrifying. Our best clients are aware of that and are active in distributing their power. I know we’re privileged in the Bay to align our values like that. With them, we support local craftspeople and rely heavily on our community of artists and manufacturers. A lot of our work is knowing where things come from. I make it clear that our choices affect everyone AND everything. We have a responsibility to care, to offer opportunity, to talk, in support of eradicating the toxic systems that have been built to divide us. That includes systemic racism. Everything Is Political. You can expect us to keep showing up. Stats and resources continue in Stories. Over time this looks like sponsoring internships, assisting with college applications and career paths, hiring BI/POC, buying responsibly, having hard conversations, simply being happy for our black peers, voting, and protesting. #blacklivesmatter #defundthepolice #defendthepeople @schapirophoto - @landedinteriors on Instagram

@archiveafrica *Culturally Significant* Happy Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day - Kwame Nkrumah (21 September 1909 – 27 April 1972) was a Ghanaian politician and revolutionary. He was the first Prime Minister and President of Ghana, having led the Gold Coast to independence from Britain in 1957. An influential advocate of pan-Africanism, Nkrumah was a founding member of the Organization of African Unity and winner of the Lenin Peace Prize from the Soviet Union in 1962. - - - #ghana #art #africa #africa #nigeria #senegal #tanzania #carribean #dance #eastafrica #centralafrica #jamaica #westafrica #carribean #haiti #35mm #africanphotography #sudan #france #culture #blacklivesmatter #fashion #newyork #algiers #brazil #filmisnotdead #ethiopia #algeria #filmisbetter #photography #southafrica #kwamenkrumah - @archiveafrica on Instagram

Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002) // was an American-Canadian photographer known for his portraits of notable individuals. He has been described as one of the greatest portrait photographers of the 20th century. An Armenian Genocide survivor, Karsh migrated to Canada as a refugee. By the 1930s he established himself as a significant photographer in Ottawa, where he lived most of his adult life, though he traveled extensively for work. His iconic 1941 photograph of Winston Churchill was a breakthrough point in his 60-year career, through which he took numerous photos of known political leaders, men and women of arts and sciences. Over 20 photos by Karsh appeared on the cover of Life magazine, until he retired in 1992. His 1941 photo of Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister, brought him prominence. The photo was taken on December 30, 1941 in the chamber of the Speaker of the House of Commons in the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa after Churchill delivered a speech on World War II to the Canadian members of the parliament. It was arranged by Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King. Churchill is particularly noted for his posture and facial expression, which have been compared to the wartime feelings that prevailed in the UK: persistence in the face of an all-conquering enemy. The photo session was short and, just before exposure, Karsh moved towards Churchill and removed the cigar which he had in his hand. Churchill was miffed and showed his displeasure in the portrait. #filmphoto #film #filmsnotdead #photography #arthistory #portrait #portraitphotography - @thefilmcameraco on Instagram

Today is my birthday. I get to spend it with the Love of my life and my Family. #BreonnaTaylor did not get to. My brother runs everyday through neighborhoods that know him and neighborhoods that have never seen him before. #AhmaudArbery could not. And on, and on, and on. 60+ years later and this photo still sorely rings true. As members of our communities where injustice is occurring, we must do better. As congregations of CHURCHES where injustice is occurring, we are obligated to BE better. As members of a society where injustice is occurring, we must demand better. #BlackLivesMatter - @steubanks on Instagram

Historian, writer, lecturer and researcher, Runoko Rashidi, has written extensively on the global African presence and leads tours to various sites around the world. Below are extracts of an article he wrote for the about the black presence in early china. . “In September 1998, a scientific study posted in the Los Angeles Times concluded that: “Most of the population of modern China — one-fifth of all the people living today — owes its genetic origins to Africa.”[1] . “From the realm of the physical anthropology of early China, according to the preeminent scholar in the field, Kwan-chih Chang: “Skeletal remains from the Hoabinhian and Bacsoinan strata, similar to those found in southwest China, bear Oceanic Negroids features.”[1] . “The first Black people in China … were apparently Black people akin to the Batwa of Central Africa and the people of the Andaman Islands today — we call (them) Diminutive Africoids. They survived well into the historical periods. The presence of Diminutive Africoids (whom Chinese historians called Black Dwarfs) in early southern China during the period of the Three Kingdoms (ca. 250 CE) is recorded in the book of the Official of the Liang Dynasty (502-556 CE). They are said to be Diminutive Africoids and are variously called Pygmies, Negritos and Aeta. They are found in the Philippines, northern Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra in Indonesia and other places.”[1] . “The Shang Dynasty (1766-1027 BCE), China’s first dynasty, dating from the 18th to the 11th century BCE, apparently had a Black background, so much so that the conquering Zhou described them as having “Black and oily skin.”[1] . “…The Le Tigress vessel (a famous artefact from the Shang Dynasty period, created around 1250 BCE) appears to depict an human figure with Africoid features in the embrace of a tiger.”[1] . Runoko Rashidi has also photographed statues of Africoid-looking dancers from the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE). He has photographed such statues in both the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. He describes the statues as having ‘twirled hair’. . “…In the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) founded by Kubilai Khan[cont.] - @_hiddenpages on Instagram

In 1971 as I waited for a plane at Washington National Airport, I noticed a grieving man sitting nearby holding a folded American flag. He was obviously in pain….I took the photograph and turned to put the camera away and planned to walk over to speak with him…. but when I turned back…. he was gone.

“It is under all circumstances an advantage to be in full possession of ones personality, otherwise the repressed elements will only crop up as a hindrance elsewhere, not just at some unimportant point, but at the very spot where we are most sensitive. If people can be educated to see the shadow-side of their nature clearly, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more self-knowledge can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures.” On the psychology of the unconscious: The Eros Theory.

Join us on Thursday, October 8th at 7 pm for OUTFlix Film Festival at the Drive-In! The first film we will be showing is CURED. Trailer linked in our bio 🎥 About the film: Mentally ill. Deviant. Diseased. And in need of a cure. These were among the terms psychiatrists used to describe lesbians and gay men in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. According to the medical establishment, every gay person—no matter how well-adjusted—suffered from a mental disorder. And as long as lesbians and gay men were “sick,” progress toward equality was impossible. CURED chronicles the battle waged by a small group of activists who declared war against a formidable institution—and won a crucial victory in the modern movement for LGBTQ equality. This feature-length documentary takes viewers inside the David-versus-Goliath struggle that led the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to remove homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses in 1973. Viewers meet the key players who achieved this victory, along with allies and opponents within the APA. The film illuminates the strategy and tactics that led to this pivotal yet largely unknown moment. Indeed, following the Stonewall uprising of 1969, the campaign that culminated in the APA’s decision marks the first major step on the path to first-class citizenship for LGBTQ Americans. While CURED is indisputably about science, medicine, and politics, at its core this is a film about activism and the process of social change. It features a diverse group of crusaders with stubborn dedication and big personalities who came together at a crossroads in LGBTQ history. Their tenacity, resourcefulness, and ingenuity brought about a change that transformed not only LGBTQ people’s perceptions of themselves, but also the social fabric of America. #wearehere #outflix #drive-in #CURED - @outmemphis on Instagram

#MaudeCallen, known as the “Angel in Twilight,” provided medical care to poor and desperate people in need. Born in Florida in 1898, she was orphaned as a young girl with 12 sisters. Callen went to live with her uncle, who numbered among the country’s earliest Black medical doctors. She learned techniques from him and studied at Florida A&M University and the Georgia Infirmary in Savannah. Callen later moved to Pineville in the early 1920s as a medical missionary and remained the health care provider for the area’s residents for many years. She operated a community clinic out of her home, which was located miles from any hospital. Callen provided in-home services to “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads.” She often served as a “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of desperately poor patients. It is estimated she delivered between 600 and 800 babies in her years of practice. She also devoted time to teaching other women the skills of being a #midwife. Callen received an honorary degree in 1989 from the Medical University of South Carolina. A scholarship was also established at the college of nursing in her name. - @black.archive on Instagram

- The 3 young men killed by police at the Algiers Motel during the Detroit riot in 1967. Their crime was being in a motel room with 3 partially-clad white women. If you turn on the news today you know this kind of pointless killing has never stopped.

Rep. John Lewis, the Georgia Democrat known for his significant leadership in Congress and throughout the civil rights movement, died Friday at age 80. He served Georgia’s 5th Congressional District, which encompasses most of Atlanta, and was highly respected on both sides of the political aisle. Lewis was known as the “conscience of Congress.” The congressman announced in December 2019 that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Source: HuffPost - @swtblackberry on Instagram

⭐ Friday Fact ⭐ is back! Inspired by @brixtonheritage who have been sharing the history of Railton Road and the Lambeth Heritage Festival, this week we are looking back at the history of this iconic street in Brixton. Railton Road is commonly known as The Front Line and has been home to many of Brixton’s most celebrated residents including but not limited to Olive Morris, Winifred Atwell and C.L.R. James. In 1956 when Winifred was, perhaps, at the height of her career as a pianist, she opened The Winifred Atwell Salon in Railton Road on the corner of Chaucer Road. A stranger had pointed out that there were no hairdressing salons for black women in the area at that time. ⠀⠀ During the 70s it was a largely squatted area with organisations such as the Black Panther Movement, Brixton Black Women’s Group, Brixton Fairies and the Race Tate collective starting from buildings on this street. The infamous image of Olive Morris jumping across a rooftop was taken on this road, Sabaars bookshop was started at 121 and artist Rotimi Fani-Kayode lived at 151.

63 years ago today, under escort from the U.S Army’s 101st Airborne Division, nine Black students enter all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Three weeks earlier, Arkansas Governor Orval Faunus had surrounded the school with National Guard troops to prevent its federal court-ordered racial integration. This was one major step toward educational equity in the United States. Thank you to Ernie, Carlotta, Elizabeth, Gloria, Jeff, Melba, Minnijean, Terrance, and Thelma for your activism for social justice! #LittleRockNine - @hbcucampaign on Instagram
