Reposted from @bccafincorporated As we celebrate those who have a great legacy of uplifting and impacting the Black community we shine the light on Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Wright, a preacher of preachers and leader of leaders, served as the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. He ushered thousands of members weekly to worship and influenced others to take action as mandated by the Gospel. Under his leadership, Trinity adopted the motto "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian" and has set out to make activism within and on behalf of the African American community a key aspect of the church's mission. Being an outspoken community leader, Wright has been vocal in making once-taboo issues, such as AIDS, a priority within the African American church leadership and service. He has been true to his commitment to political activism and faithful to the African American sermonic tradition which made him a highly sought-after speaker nationally and internationally. We celebrate his legacy and impact on the world and the Black Community. He is among a great number of Black History Makers. Part of this Information was obtained from The History Makers. ⠀ ⠀ The Bible states that a “good man leaves an inheritance to his children.” Wright legacy extends beyond his biological children. His influence, work, advocacy and activism has extended and is more far reaching than he is given credit for. We celebrate the richness and value of his contribution to Black⠀ History. Thank you Rev. Jeremiah Wright. We salute and thank you for your service. 🖤🧡💚❤️#blackhistory #blackhistorynow #jeremiahwright #bccaf #blackmen #blackexcellence #blackamericanhistory #blackhistorymonth #revjeremiahwright #blackpreacher #jeremiahwright https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-zfrivWEZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition

In the night of 22 to 23 August 1791, men and women, torn from Africa and sold into slavery, revolted against the slave system in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) to obtain freedom and independence. The uprising set forth events that eventually led to the abolition of the slave trade.

In 1997, UNESCO established 23 August as International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition to pay tribute to all those who fought for freedom, and to continue teaching about their story and their values. The success of this rebellion, led by the slaves themselves, is a deep source of inspiration today for the fight against all forms of servitude, racism, prejudice, racial discrimination and social injustice that are a legacy of slavery.

The Slave Route Project, launched by UNESCO in 1994, examines the foundations, forms of operation, and consequences of the slave trade and slavery in different regions of the world. Through research, development of pedagogical materials, preservation of archives, oral traditions and sites of memory related to slavery, it aims to contribute to a better understanding of the impact of this history on our modern world, highlight global transformations and cultural interactions, and contribute to intercultural dialogue.

Let's learn about Marsha P. Johnson and the Stonewall rebellion. Serving as a pivotal moment in the modern Gay Rights Movement, Stonewall began on June 28th 1969.  And though the rebellion lasted less than a week, the reverberations lasted for generations.

Sidetracked during YouTube browsing to find vintage footage of American boxer, Jack Johnson. I first came across the name many years ago in an excellent encyclopedia of the 20th century (which sadly, I have never located since). 

The only details that I knew back then subsisted of Johnson beating white opponents, and the call for a “Great White Hope” to defeat him. 

Later I learned that he had been penalised under the Mann Act for transporting a woman across state lines for immoral purposes. However, this punishment had a more racial import, as the woman in question was white. Johnson was pardoned in 2018 by President Trump. 

This footage is astonishing. First of all, Johnson’s fights occurred at the dawn of the 20th century, so the fact we even have this footage is a miracle. Next, it is one thing to read of a heroic boxer, his image much embroidered by hero-worshippers and himself-- but quite another to see him in person. 

We see both how he was treated as a sensation, usually by white American observers, and his own apparent hesitancy in some camera shots. He had a big smile, which is striking, given the sheer lack of dignity afforded to any black man of his time. And his physique was as impressive as pictures suggest. 

The footage of the fights themselves inspire both awe and unease. Every time Johnson gained the upper hand and won, you can sense the bitterness and tension in a largely white American audience, which, according to newspapers, led to race rioting afterwards. Today, it is astonishing and repugnant to many that such a result could occur. 

Back in the early 20th century, when men and women like Johnson would literally be relegated to the back of any place regardless of fame, this was commonplace. We must always remember not to return to such irrational and repugnant behaviour. 

Astonishing footage, a must watch-- even for non-boxing fans like myself.
