The Learning Tree is a drama film written and directed by Gordon Parks, a celebrated photographer. The movie was released on August 6, 1969, it depicts the life of Newt Winger, a teenager growing up in Cherokee Flats, Kansas, in the 1920s, and chronicles his journey into manhood that is marked by tragic events. The Learning Tree is based on Parks’ semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, which was published in 1963.
Newt Winger, Marcus Savage, and several of their friends steal apples from Jake Kiner’s orchard, and when Kiner confronts the boys, he is beaten and left for dead by Marcus, who is later sent to jail for his actions. While Marcus is in jail, Newt begins to work for Kiner to make up for his actions and those of his friends and begins a relationship with the new girl in town Arcella Jefferson, but his relationship with her is destroyed when Chauncey Cavanaugh, a white man, and son of the local judge, rapes and impregnates Arcella, who moves away out of shame. Another scene shows Newt forced into a brutal boxing match at the County fair.
One day when Newt is eating his lunch in the loft of Kiner’s barn, he witnesses the brutal attack and murder of Kiner by Booker Savage, Marcus’ father. Newt keeps quiet about what he has seen but appears to be bothered that Silas Newhall, who was at the scene of the crime for another reason, is being accused of a murder he did not commit. Encouraged by his mother Sarah, Newt reveals to Judge Cavanaugh that Booker committed the murder, and testifies in court, but rather than doing the good he intended to do, Newt’s testimony leads to his suicide of Booker and almost being killed by Marcus. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Coretta Scott was the third of four children born to Obadiah "Obie" Scott (1899–1998) and Bernice McMurry Scott (1904–1996) in Marion, Alabama.
She was born in her parents' home with her paternal great-grandmother Delia Scott, a former slave, presiding as midwife.
Coretta's mother became known for her musical talent and singing voice. As a child Bernice attended the local Crossroads School and only had a fourth grade education. Bernice's older siblings, however, attended boarding school at the Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee Institute. The senior Mrs. Scott worked as a school bus driver, a church pianist, and for her husband in his business ventures. She served as Worthy Matron for her Eastern Star chapter and was a member of the local Literacy Federated Club.
Obie, Coretta's father, was the first black person in their neighborhood to own a truck. Before starting his own businesses he worked as a fireman. Along with his wife, he ran a barber shop from their home and later opened a general store. He also owned a lumber mill, which was burned down by white neighbors after Scott refused to sell his mill to a white logger.
Her maternal grandparents were Mollie (née Smith; 1868 - d.) and Martin van Buren McMurry (1863 - 1950) - both were of African-American and Irish descent. Mollie was born a slave to plantation owner Jim Blackburn and Adeline (Blackburn) Smith.
Coretta's maternal grandfather, Martin, was born to a slave of Black Native American ancestry, and her white master who never acknowledged Martin as his son. He eventually owned a 280-acre farm.
Because of his diverse origins, Martin appeared to be White; however, he displayed contempt for the notion of passing. As a self-taught reader with little formal education, he is noted for having inspired Coretta's passion for education.
Coretta's paternal grandparents were Cora (née McLaughlin; 1876 - 1920) and Jefferson F. Scott (1873 - 1941). Cora passed away before Coretta's birth. Jeff Scott was a farmer and a prominent figure in the rural black religious community; he was born to former slaves Willis and Delia.
Coretta Scott's parents intended for all of their children to be educated. Coretta quoted her mother as having said, "My children are going to college, even if it means I only have but one dress to put on."

In honor of Black History Month, we're highlighting the accomplishments of some remarkable Black Chillicotheans.
Tumblr media
The early details of William H. Dupree's life seem to be a bit in question. Some sources say he was born into slavery in Virginia on March 13, 1839. Others say he was born here in Chillicothe. If he was enslaved, it's unknown how he secured his freedom. He may have been educated in Chillicothe schools, which he's said to have left after the death of his father when Dupree was 19.
Dupree worked as a plasterer and played baritone in a brass band. He married Maria Elizabeth Isaacs, who was the daughter of a woman who'd been an enslaved cook at Thomas Jefferson's estate Monticello. (Dupree was the uncle of another famous Chillicothe man James Monroe Trotter.)
When the Civil War broke out, Dupree wanted to enlist, but was unable until after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863 and Black regiments were created. Ohio didn't form any, so Dupree had to go to Massachusetts to enlist. He was one of the 5,092 Black Ohioans who joined regiments formed in other states so they could serve.
In 1863, Dupree enlisted in Co. H, 55th Massachusetts Infantry, where he oversaw the regimental band.  He achieved the rank of 2nd lieutenant, but was only officially awarded the rank in 1865 when his unit was mustered out, reportedly because the white officers refused to serve with Black officers.
He returned to Chillicothe after the war, but eventually moved to Boston where he became one of the first Black men to be employed by the city's post office. He worked there for several decades and became quite prosperous.
  In 1903, he and a few other investors purchased the Colored Co-operative Publishing Company and its journal, the "Colored American Magazine." It was one of the more prominent Black publications. Through its work, he tried to model Booker T. Washington's ideas of achieving equal rights by demonstrating Black people could excel at any occupation.
Dupree was also a member of the New York City Opera Company, the G.A.R, and the chairman of the Firefighter's Relief Fund. In 1888, he became a member of a committee to convince Boston to erect a statue to Crispus Atticus, the Black civilian who was killed at the Boston Massacre.
  He died in June, 1934.

So, the story of this.
After the Civil War, there was a brief period known as Reconstruction (1865-1877). During Reconstruction, an alliance of White Unionists, Carpetbaggers, and Blacks ruled the South and their organization was the Republican party because Southern Democrats were wall to wall ex-Confederates.
Blacks were elected to state legislatures, local government, and the Federal government by this alliance. The first two Black Senators came from Missisippi and one of them filled Jefferson Davis' seat.
Southern Republicans carried out:
Debt and Stay Laws (Laws which suspended debt collection or otherwise tried to help people deal with debts.)
Building Projects
Public Education
Child Support
Legal Aid
Medical Assistance
Aid to Widows and Veterans
Fixing Infrastructure
The Federal Government, run by Republicans, created the Freedman's Bureau.
The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (The Freedman’s Bureau): The Freedman’s Bureau, created in March 1865,oversaw every aspect of the transition, working to ease the lot of the ex-slaves. It operated until 1872, led by Major General Oliver Howard.
Food: The Freedman's Bureau distributed 15 million rations (enough food for one person for one day) over the course of its operation.
Reuniting: The Bureau tried to help slaves find their families, often divided by the internal slave trade before and during the Civil War.
Medical: The Bureau set up a 100 hospitals for former slaves.
Work and Judicial: The Bureau also operated its own court system and tried to help slaves get work and to negotiate better terms with employers.
Education: The Bureau’s greatest success was in the area of education.
Pre-War Status: There was no state-supported public education for anyone, not even Whites, in the pre-Civil War South.
Schools: The Bureau created three thousand schools serving 150,000 men, women, and children. This cost 5 million dollars (72 million in today's money.)
Teachers: Mostly white women from the Northeastern states. Many were fairly religious and also wished to Christianize the former slaves. Later, there were enough educated blacks for them to take over.
Literacy: Black literacy rose from 10 to 30% by the mid-1870s.
Black Colleges: Thirteen universities for black students were created by 1880. Howard University was named after the head of the Bureau.
“Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute”: This school was created in 1868 to produce teachers; in 1870, it became a formal land grant university for black students. Hampton's curriculum mixed intellectual classes, moral instruction, and training in physical skills. (“head, heart, and hands”). Booker T. Washington attended here and took this philosophy when he was sent to found the Tuskeegee Institute. Today it is known as Hampton University.
Basically, the 1870s Republican party was a big government, pro-business, pro-civil rights, pro-education party. This is also when the Transcontinental Railroad goes up and goatoads of other infrastructure projects.
Unfortunately, the Grant Administration (1869-1877) had huge corruption problems and the public became tired of the cost of Reconstruction. The Freedman's Bureau shut down and then white terrorists known as 'Redeemers' used force and terror to institute one-party rule in the South and crush the Southern Republicans. Meanwhile the Republican party was itself torn over what exactly they were going to be with the issue of slavery gone.
In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes sold out the Southern Republicans to become President and from 1877 to the 1950s, white racists ruled the South and crushed out any kind of Republicans. The Republican party largely didn't exist in the South for decades, being only a shadow of a party.
Congress was now all white with rare exceptions and stayed that way until the Civil Rights movement. Republicans still got most black voters... but there were not very many. Republicans did a few things for blacks; Calvin Coolidge, who did nothing when thousands of Americans died in a flood in 1925, still backed funding Howard and some other Black universities, for example.
The Civil Rights movement forced both parties to choose sides. Ultimately, Democrats chose Civil Rights and Republicans endorsed courting Southern white racists.

Ernest Frederick Morrison (December 20, 1912 -July 24, 1989) was the first African American child movie star signed to a long-term contract and is most famous for his role in the Our Gang/ Little Rascals series. He was born to Louise (Lewis) and Joseph Ernest Morrison, in New Orleans. He made his unofficial movie debut as an infant, filling in for another child who would not stop crying. He was given the nickname “Sunshine” by the crew and went on to use the names Sunshine Sambo, Little Sambo, Sunshine Sammy, Ernie, or just Sammy. He made his official movie debut in 1916, in The Soul of a Child. He appeared in a series of silent films.
In 1919, Morrison became the first African American actor to be signed to a long-term contract with comedy film producer Hal Roach. Roach created a series called The Sunshine Sammy Series just for him in 1921, but only one segment produced was aired. Roach recreated his idea in a series called Hal Roach’s Rascals/ Our Gang. He made his debut as “Booker T. Bacon” in the 1922 debut short of the series called “One Terrible Day.” As the oldest member of the cast, he was paid $10,000 a year, making him the highest-paid African American actor in Hollywood. He filmed twenty-eight episodes and remained with the show until 1924.
He married Annette McAbee (1934-36). He performed in vaudeville shows and toured abroad before returning to the screen in 1940. He was cast in the series producers in Los Angeles called The Dead End/ East Side Kids, and played a character named “Scruno”. He performed with The Four Step-Brothers, a dance group.
He was drafted into the Army during WWII in 1944, and he often performed as a comedian-singer-dancer for the troops. He accepted a job as a quality control inspector for an aerospace company in Compton and worked there for the next seventeen years. He appeared on television in episodes of Good Times and the Jeffersons. He appeared in one hundred and forty-five motion pictures in his career. He was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1987. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
