What is the importance of a Temple in a Village? I saw your temple while coming in procession on that bullock cart. I found it dilapidated and not in a good clean condition. The heart of the #village is the temple; the lamp burning there is the life of the entire village. Keep it burning bright and clear. Someone has placed a broken bandy cart on the narrow verandah of the #temple; that is as bad as dishonouring the abode of the Lord. It will not inspire devotion in the people. Keep the temple, however simple and small it may be, clean and free from encumbrances. Do not treat it as some villagers do — as a refuge for idlers, who loiter around and play cards or gamble. Get together a #Bhajan group in this village. I know you have one; but it must be more active; it must attend the daily worship in this temple and make it a fountain of devotion. That will demonstrate that you have gratitude to the Lord for all the blessings He has showered on you. . - SRI SATHYA SAI September 9, 1959 Budili Village #QOTD . . . . #sathyasaiwithstudents #srisathyasai #SaiRam #SaiBaba #omsairam #SathyaSaiBaba #thoughtoftheday #avatar #God #radiosai - @sathyasai.withstudents on Instagram

THROWBACK THURSDAY Meet Carl Christian Reindorf. He was a Gold coast pastor of the Basel Mission, a historian, teacher, farmer, trader and physician in the Gold Coast ( Now Ghana). Carl Christian Reindorf himself worked as a teacher of history at the catechists and teachers’ seminary at Akropong (Akuapem) from November 1860 to April 1862. In late 1863 Reindorf was appointed teacher at the newly founded middle school at Osu. In 1866 he took part in the local war between the Ada (a Ga-Adangme group) and the Awunas (Ewes from the Volta Region), acting as assistant surgeon. After the war he was appointed head teacher of the Osu Middle School. The course for students from the ages of fourteen to eighteen included subjects such as biblical exegesis, theology, history and geography, English, and, for the senior classes, Greek. Carl Christian Reindorf worked as a teacher at Osu until 1872. He established a boarding school at Mayera with a dozen Ga boys from Accra. He lived and worked in Mayera for a decade before returning to Christiansborg, Osu. Carl finished work on his notable book, A History of the Gold Coast and Asante in 1889. This literary piece was originally written in the Ga language. The English translation of the book was published in Basel in 1895. Carl Christian Reindorf ’s History of the Gold Coast and Asante has a special place in West African historiography. Drawing a colorful and lively picture of historical events, it was written from an African point of view; in it Reindorf gave Africans a voice and the ability to actively shape history, in marked contrast to the views of his European predecessors and contemporaries.

- Abolitionist, former slave, womens rights activist, and world-renowned orator Frederick Douglass. 1852
Ella Josephine Baker, born in Norfolk, Virginia in 1903, was one of the most influential, and largely unknown, people in this nation’s history who was intimately involved in the fight for civil rights for oppressed communities. While she spent the majority of her time as an activist fighting for the rights of Black men and women, she was also an outspoken advocate for women of all races, Latinx people, and people in poverty. Starting in Harlem, her activism focused on grass roots organizations and spread across the country. She led multiple protests against racial injustice, colonialism, and fascism in America. In the 1950s, she fought against police brutality and segregation in the early days of the Civil Rights movement. She was also an organizer and advisor for SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) and SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference). One of the many causes she fought for was the vote. African Americans, while technically granted access to the vote with the 15th and 19th Amendments, in reality were often unable to register due to discriminatory practices and regulations that operated around the amendment. As the Associate Director of SCLC, Baker fought to increase the number of registered African American voters in the 1958 and 1960 elections to exercise their right to vote where possible. This work to get more African Americans registered to vote, broadened awareness in the fight for voting rights in Black communities, and laid the groundwork for the 1965 Voting Rights Act. On the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment as well as the 55th anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we are honoring inspirational women throughout America’s history who have fought for the rights of the disenfranchised. Who was the first woman in your family to vote?

“Fue llamada Phillips, porque así se llamaba el barco que la trajo, y Wheatley, que era el nombre del mercader que la compró. Había nacido en Senegal. En Boston, los negreros la pusieron en venta: -¡Tiene siete años! ¡Será una buena yegua! Fue palpada, desnuda, por muchas manos. A los trece años, ya escribía poemas en una lengua que no era la suya. Nadie creía que ella fuera la autora. A los veinte años, Phillips fue interrogada por un tribunal de dieciocho ilustrados caballeros con toga y peluca. Tuvo que recitar textos de Virgilio y Milton y algunos pasajes de la Biblia, y también tuvo que jurar que los poemas que había escrito no eran plagiados. Desde una silla, rindió su largo examen, hasta que el tribunal la aceptó: era mujer, era negra, era esclava, pero era poeta.” Phillis Wheatley, fue la primera escritora afroamericana en publicar un libro en los Estados Unidos. - @luis__iturrieta on Instagram
Putting a few faces to the names of 12+ headstones at Evergreen Cemetery that were defaced with blue paint over the weekend. As written in their obituaries, the individuals whose headstones were defaced led successful lives in Austin as church leaders and school teachers. Many were born at the turn of the century and grew up in rural Central Texas freedom colonies like Littig and St. John’s Colony 🕊 Evergreen Cemetery was established by the City of Austin in 1926 as the first municipal graveyard for Black residents. Thank you to @tonyaforconstable for compiling a list of affected headstones: David & Carolyn T.

Every year on fourth of you lie we get Frederick Douglass quotes & I get v annoyed b/c his ass was only free b/c of a Black woman he almost never writes about. Which is wild b/c my nigga wrote A LOT. Anna Murray-Douglass is his first wife who was born a free woman. She used her sewing gifts & funds to help him escape slavery which was risky AF. She then used her funds to get them started as a couple. She birthed 5 children & continued to run their household for 44 yrs. while Frederick traveled & grew popular in abolitionist circles. During this time he gained new friends (mostly white women) who critiqued Anna b/c they felt she was too uneducated to be his wife. He initially chose Anna b/c she reminded him of freedom & home. Sound familiar? Mkayyy. Balancing their money, the house as an Underground Railroad stop, raising their children & dealing w/ his disrespectful ass friends eventually threw Anna into depression. She died from a stroke. Two years later, Frederick remarried a white woman, Helen (a direct descendant of the Mayflower), & she gets way more airtime b/c he defends their love publicly. So on this day I’m here to clearly rant LOL & tell da damn truth. Anna Murray-Douglass was THAT DEAL! She was a bomb Black woman abolitionist who made it all possible. BUT AREN’T WE ALWAYS! Today her efforts will not be overshadowed by a Black man & a white woman. Thank you for coming to my Moesha journal! 🌹 #BWAFGU #AnnaMurrayDouglass - @stevie_elem on Instagram

Truganini finally came to rest in Tasmania. On 30 April 1976 Truganinis remains were cremated at the Cornelian Bay crematorium where Rosalind Langford, former Secretary of the Aboriginal Information Service in Tasmania, delivered the oration. The following morning, just seven days short of the centenary of her death, Truganini’s ashes were scattered in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, close to her birthplace and homeland.

What is is like to see two decades of research and writing finally become a book? I am totally excited by the beautiful cover and thankful for a great pre-pub review from Library Journal (August 28, 2020) Writes Barbara Hoffert,Even as Shaik offers an inside look at the society itself—and its major meeting place, the iconic Economy Hall, reverberant with political debate and jazz—her new work does something more. By presenting a thriving community of free Black Americans in a major Southern city pre–Civil War and the actions of society members through 1935, Shaik aims to deepen our sense of Black American history,. - @fshaikauthor on Instagram

Harriet Tubman, notable conductor on the underground railroad, maintained strong ties to Boston throughout her life. Visiting the city numerous times, Tubman often met with abolitionists and women’s rights activists alike. The Liberator noted her participation in Boston suffrage events as early as 1860, when Tumban, called ‘Moses,’ attended a woman’s rights convention and “told the story of her adventures in a modest but quaint and amusing style, which won much applause.” The Woman’s Journal also recorded several occasions local suffragists welcomed Tubman. An April 1897 edition of the publication recounted a reception presided over by Ednah D. Cheney in which many people connected to both the abolitionist and suffrage movements attended. Tubman’s words reflecting on her life, The Journal observed, “left her hearers feeling braver and braver.” #SuffrageSaturday #HarrietTubman #VotesForWomen #Suffragent #NPS19th #19thAmendment #UndergroundRailroad #UGRR #UGRRMonth Sources: “Woman’s Rights Meetings,” The Liberator, July 06, 1860.

Tales of the Archives- Pearl City 🍍”Old Time Fun”. 📻 By the 1930s-50s, most Pearl City residents were employed in August Butts green bean fields which once covered much of what is now “West Boca.” It was a hard life and even the children worked in the fields during harvest time. Many Pearl City residents also lacked running water and electricity; things we take for granted today. Nonetheless, they knew how to enjoy themselves. Walter Dolphus recalled: “Well, the kids always played ball; and I never forget years ago of a marble range . . . was right in the center of Dixie Highway, and now you can’t even walk across it. A car would pass by probably every four or five hours. So that’s where we used to make up our marble range, right in the middle of Dixie Highway between 11th and 12th Streets. Right in the middle of Dixie Highway.” Amos Jackson had this memory: “We used to celebrate the 20th of May here [that is Florida’s “Emancipation Day”]. That’s the day that we were told that the slaves were freed. … The 20th of May was a big day to us. We’d have big baseball games, picnics on the beach and Collin Spain used to carry his juke box, or piccolo as we called it, on the beach; and he had a generator, and they called it a dynamo at the time, that would provide the electrical service for the box. We used to have music on the beach, swimming, ice cream, and sandwiches. Later on in the day we would have baseball games.” Irene Demery Carswell recalled the pleasures of a box supper: “Well this is boxes that the ladies would fix with food, and the men would buy these boxes. This was one of the recreational parties that they had. The men would buy the box maybe for fifty cents or seventy-five cents at the most. And then, for instance, if I made a box and you liked my box, I had this box all decorated with crepe paper, etc. And sometimes there’d be big boxes and little boxes, and they had fried chicken and potato salad and maybe some collard greens, or some homemade rolls, or maybe made a cake. You put enough for two in the box. For instance if you bought my box, you and I would sit and eat whether we were married or not. #continuedincomments - @bocahistory on Instagram

I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom...I was free, and they should be free also...* #OnThisDay in 1849, Harriet Tubman set out on her first attempt at escape with her two brothers, Ben and Henry. After some time, Tubman and her brothers disagreed on how to proceed, and they returned to their enslavers home. Some time after October 3, Harriet decided that she could no longer remain in bondage. Risking everything, she set out alone, and with the help of several operatives on the Underground Railroad, she finally crossed the border into Pennsylvania. Later in her life, Tubman would recall, When I found I had crossed the line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in heaven.

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. It was on June 19th, 1865 that the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. This was two and a half years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official on January 1st, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the enslaved population in Texas due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. Freedom finally came after a proclamation by General Granger solidified the emancipation of the quarter-million enslaved people in the state. These images are from a larger selection of early ambryotype and tintype photographs in @thekinseycollection. Taken during the post-Civil War period of Reconstruction, these elegant portraits portray newly freed African Americans dressed in their best for the photographer. In many ways these photos represent the hopes and dreams of a people, who for so long were denied the right to even have hopes and dreams. With freedom came the urgency to find family that had been sold away, to create businesses and community, participate in the political process, and to cast off the vestiges of slavery. When The Kinsey Collection acquired these historical images they came without descriptive documentation on the subjects in the photographs - thus the names of these incredible people have been lost to history. However, when viewed together, these portraits provide a collective snapshot of African Americans seeking to achieve the American Dream, envisioning a better life for themselves and their families shortly after the end of slavery in the United States. On this day especially, we honor our ancestors who did so much, with so little. Happy Juneteenth from @thekinseycollection. #thekinseycollection #kinseyuntold #juneteenth #juneteenth2020 #africanamericanhistory #africanamericanart #blackhistory #mythofabsence #americanhistory #americanart #history #fineart #art #education #museum #exhibition #becauseofthemwecan #blacklivesmatter - @thekinseycollection on Instagram

Have you guys seen the movie HARRIET??? ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE. Sometimes films about history can feel so waited and heavy that you don’t know if you have the capacity to take them in. That isn’t this. Obviously heavy themes but told from a very inspired perspective. I felt so empowered watching this movie and I feel it portrayed Harriet as the true superhero she actually was!!!!! Kasi Lemons, director of one of my favorite films “Eves Bayou” also directed this and the angles, the score, the locations, the CASTING was all so incredible. It truly felt magical, @cynthiaerivo made me feel like I was actually watching Harriet Tubman herself. I appreciate this film as an American, that I can talk about things and give my child something empowering, magical and (some fiction)truthful. Thank you for this! (I know I’m late 🙄) God bless Harriet AND EVERYTHING SHE DID THAT WE DIDN’T HAVE TO DO. 🙏🏾 - @keke on Instagram
