Lynching victim Rubin Stacy’s story being told by his family in film screening at NSU

Anne Naves knew something bad had happened to her uncle when her male relatives came home from fishing, each wearing a pall of silence. Dad wasn’t cracking jokes like usual. Grandfather looked grave. And her uncle, Rubin Stacy, hadn’t come back. The next day, someone from the funeral home said a body had been dropped off.

Naves, 8 years old at the time, only discovered the full gruesome truth about her uncle years later. On July 19, 1935, acting on an unproven accusation from a white woman, a masked lynch mob strung up Stacy under a Fort Lauderdale tree, hanged him and shot him 17 times as spectators gawked and children laughed.

The brutality and silence of Stacy’s lynching is revisited in the new documentary, “Rubin,” which will screen on Tuesday, Oct. 3, at Nova Southeastern University. In the hourlong film, the farmhand’s death is recounted through the eyes of his surviving descendants, but mainly through Naves, who was the last living eyewitness to the trauma — and to the secrecy — that followed.

The film, the first to be made by relatives of Stacy’s family, also chronicles the history of lynchings in America, used as a tool of punishment and to foster silence.

“I think (my family) knew that, without telling us (kids) what really happened, they would save us a lot of trauma,” Naves says in the documentary. “The neighbors and our church members respected our silence, too, because they knew that if it could happen to our family, it could happen to theirs.”

For “Rubin” director Tenille Brown, who is a cousin of Rubin Stacy, the film has in recent weeks also morphed into something else: a posthumous tribute to Naves. After filming her interviews for the documentary, she died on Sept. 18 at age 96, leaving behind a strong legacy: She was a Broward County educator for 25 years, teaching at Pines Middle and other schools.

“The biggest piece of the film was Anne,” Brown says in an interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel. “Without her, there’s no story. She’s the driving force. She was ready to talk. She told me to record her. She really pushed me when I didn’t feel confident and said, ‘Record me anyway. Just go.’ ”

The rest of America witnessed the cruelty of Stacy’s lynching long before Naves did. A series of photos immortalize the moment when a white crowd gathered around Stacy’s body hanging from a tree. These images ran in newspapers nationwide, were published by the NAACP, Life magazine and National Geographic, and are now archived in the Library of Congress.

It was a tale of Jim Crow-era racism that Fort Lauderdale would’ve rather forgotten — the brother of a corrupt Broward County sheriff participated in the lynching — but city officials have made strides in recent years to acknowledge the tragedy by placing memorial markers around Fort Lauderdale. One is on Davie Boulevard and Southwest 31st Avenue, also known as Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, near where Stacy took his last breath. There’s another on the 800 block of Northwest Second Street, where he lived, and a third at Woodlawn Cemetery, his final resting place. In February 2022, a section of Davie Boulevard was renamed Rubin Stacy Memorial Boulevard.

“I’m glad they acknowledged it,” says Brown, of Pompano Beach. “These stories make some people in the state uncomfortable, but if they are based on fact, we need to tell the truth. You can’t turn your head. These are things you can’t ignore.”

For Brown, it was these memorials — and Naves’ willingness to break her silence — that motivated her to reconstruct Stacy’s story. To do so, she also interviewed Ken Cutler, Parkland commissioner and historian, and Tameka Bradley Hobbs, library regional manager of Fort Lauderdale’s African American Research Library and Cultural Center.

“My family didn’t want to talk about it out of fear for years,” Brown says. “There was shame. There’s an element of hurt, and you can hear that emotion in Anne’s voice. Now it feels freeing. This is a story that was suppressed for years and by sharing it, this is how we overcome.”

Michael Anderson, a producer for “Rubin,” says the film also tackles what too many school textbooks don’t stress enough: the history of Black lynchings.

“For Black youth to know their stories, they have to know the history of lynchings,” Anderson says. “They still don’t know how lynchings were used as a weapon to keep a community quiet. That’s exactly what it did to Rubin Stacy’s family.”

The Reason it’s Hard To Fillet African Pompano

Learning to fish in Belize | Multi Species Fishing| Deep Sea Rivers Flats and Reefs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heQpeD7yzgU As an avid fisherman I was very excited when our family moved to Belize in 2019 and I had big dreams of catching fish in the ocean and in the rivers. However, I found it to be harder than I anticipated finding fish on the ocean and ended up hiring several guides to show me how to fish. Learning to fish in Belize was extra difficult due to the various types of fishing that are done there. Especially as a multi species fishing enthusiast, it took a long time to consistantly catch fish. Over time I learned from some of the best guides in Belize how to fish for various species and in diverse places such as deep sea fishing for queen snappers or grouper or fishing in close on the flats for jacks and barracudas. Eventually I also learned how to fish the rivers for snook and other fish. In this video I show some of the highlights of my fishing adventures as I learned all about fishing in Belize. Some of my favorite catches include African Pompano, Jack Crevalle, Barracudas, Queen Triggerfish, Bonefish and Mutton Snapper. I no longer live in Belize, but still travel there a couple of times a year and hope to someday catch a wahoo, tarpon and king mackerel. If you like to do any kind of deep sea fishing, reef fishing, river fishing, fly fishing or flats fishing then you would love to fish in Belize.

Trick or treat!

Swimming your way comes one (1) baby African pompano

[sitting-on-me-bum]

A juvenile African pompano, or threadfin trevally, swims through the Verde Island Passage, a major shipping lane in the Philippines. Its streaming filaments resemble the tentacles of a jellyfish—a possible advantage for evading predators that patrol the night sea.

Animal Crossing Fish - Explained #205

Brought to you by a marine biologist and a baby...

CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!

The incredible diversity of body shapes and features young, larval fish possess is astounding. In many species, as is the case for today’s threadfin trevally, the juveniles sport long fin rays, head spines, or even appendages that make them look like a floating piece of seaweed in order to avoid becoming lunch. I mean, being a small fish anywhere is generally a tough lifestyle, so you do your best to not look like a small fish.

The threadfin trevally appeared in Pocket Camp for the Threadfin Trevally Goal event in November 2021, and hasn’t returned since. That’s a shame, because the icon for this species in the game is gorgeous and oh so accurate. Unfortunately, the timing isn’t? Usually juvenile threadfin start becoming more numerous in the spring, but, yeah, we’ve already established ACPC gives less of a damn about seasonality than ACNH. 

The threadfin trevally is also more commonly known as the African Pompano (Alectis ciliaris). It is a member of the Carangidae family, the jacks, trevally, runners, and their fast af friends. These fish are laterally compressed, which means they are really thin as if squished into a pancake on either side. Together with powerful muscles and deeply forked tail fins allows these active predators to chase down their prey. Many of them are also considered incredible sportfish that would give any angler a run for their money. Although called a trevally, it does not belong in the same Genus as the Giant Trevally we covered a long time ago, nor is it a true pompano despite being called one. Heh, names, amiright? Nevertheless, it’s a tropical marine fish found around the world in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.

Now, like I alluded to at the beginning of the entry, the form of the African Pompano ACPC went with is actually the small juvenile form. As the fish grows, its body and face get longer and it eventually loses those beautiful long fins. It’s been proposed that the juvenile’s long fins look very much like jelly tentacles, and that the form may be attempting to mimic jellies in order to avoid being prey. Seriously, go look up juvenile African Pompanos, their fins are mesmerizing! The ones pictured here are already losing some length on those fins - in smaller individuals, their fins can be almost ten times the length of their actual body.

They also live in a totally different biome than adults. Juveniles of this species are open ocean drifters, while adults settle onto reefs and shallow coastal waters. Honestly, you’d think the juveniles and adults were two different species! 

And there you have it! Fascinating stuff, no?
