“Knowing what must be done does away with fear.”

Periodic reminder that Rosa Parks was part of a community that trained for resistance and civil disobedience. Parks was an organizer and activist. She did not simply “decide to sit down one day.”

These moments are not about us as individuals. These moments are about forming and supporting community that includes us. Together, we are less afraid.

Happy Birthday, Rosa Parks

#OnThisDay in 1960: The Woolworth's sit-in protest against segregation in Greensboro, North Carolina. Not the first, but the start of a snowball. 4 fed-up students who decided to do something about it.

66 years later, we are seeing segregation roaring back (in many ways it never really left). This isn't just USpol, the international anti-immigrant trend is strongly based in racism. What are you deciding to do about it?

Happy Black History Month to all who celebrate! Created in 2014, Vantablack is touted as the blackest color in the world, and are capable of absorbing 99.965% of light. The creator, Surrey Nanosystems, gave Anish Kapoor "exclusive artistic rights" to the color. In response, artists Christian Furr and Stuart Semple created "the pinkest pink", and allow everyone except Kapoor to use it. Kapoor later got a pint and used it "illegally". #blackHistory

I have a question to #POC/ #BIPOC and I hope you can help.

I'm looking for good books/podcasts/YouTube-channels about #BlackHistory and #BlackCulture in general.

I noticed that I'm really interested in the subject but don't know much about it and don't know where to start...

Do you have good starting points? Any recommendation is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

#PleaseBoost

Edit: Assume in my case, that I'm starting totally from scratch...
