What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. #frederickdouglass #whatisfourthofjulytoaslave #blackout #juneteenth #promiseschool #freedomisntfree (at Frederick Douglass High) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6SmNsAxG4/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Repost @almishamc • • • In Akron, Ohio, it’s the first day of school for 240 at-risk students who will be attending the inaugural year of the I Promise School — and it’s all thanks to LeBron James. The NBA superstar created the school as an extension of the LeBron James Family Foundation to give kids opportunities to thrive despite difficult life situations. The I Promise School is a joint venture between the foundation and Akron Public Schools. The school board oversaw the creation of the curriculum and ensured the school would meet educational standards, while LeBron served as the primary donor to help shape the outside-the-classroom goals of the school. The school will operate with a longer-than-normal school year, with a focus on accelerated learning to bring kids up to speed who otherwise might be lagging. In addition, there is a focus on combating factors outside of the classroom that could cause children to struggle. Services are available to help students deal from stress related to parents who are struggling to make ends meet. In addition there are activities to prevent the kids from having too much idle time and potentially getting into trouble. The school also provides services to families, which include job placement assistance for parents and an on-site food bank that will allow parents to pick out foods they can prepare at home. LeBron James often credits his bicycle as a huge factor in his childhood that gave him an escape from dangerous parts of his neighborhood and the freedom to explore — every student will receive a bicycle when they arrive. #lebronjames #promiseschool #blackpeople #africanamerican #blackpower #blackunity #blackbusiness #blackpride #blackandproud #supportblackbusiness #blackowned #melanin #blackexellence #blackentrepreneurs #blacksuccess #blacklivesmatter #blm #blackkings #blackmedia #blacknews #blackmen #realblackpower #blackwealth #blackowned #blackhistory365 #blackhistory #blackgirl #blackgirls #blackbusinesswomen #takeaknee

Once I learned about @kingjames and watched his drive in the game I said he's going to lead by example, and be an impact! By building the school is definitely an example. It's not about who won the most championships, and got all the rings it's about building a legacy that will inspire the world 🌍 #lebronjames #kingjames #goat 🐐 #capricorn 🐐 #building #success #basketball🏀 #basketballlegends 🤾🏿‍♀️ #promise #promiseschool #akronohio #ohio #celebrate #afticanamerican #leader #leadbyexample #movement #investinyourcommunity #begreat #godisgood 🙌🏿

Black History All Year 2021 . . Morrison was the author of eleven novels, including The Bluest Eye (1973), the story of a little black girl’s quest for identity and acceptance in a world that privileged whiteness; Sula (1973), which celebrates friendship between women and the complexity of black womanhood; Song of Solomon (1977), which follows its male protagonist, Milkman Dead, on his quest for cultural heritage; and Tar Baby (1981), which explores a love affair between a couple from radically different socio-economic backgrounds. Morrison’s early works received critical acclaim, including National Book Awards nominations and the National Book Critics’ Circle Award for Song of Solomon. . . In 2000, Angelou received the Presidential Medal of the Arts and in 2008, she received the Ford’s Theatre Lincoln Medal. On February 15, 2011, President Barack Obama awarded Angelou the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a White House Ceremony.  The Medal is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Morrison’s fifth novel, Beloved (1987), a haunting story about the atrocities of slavery and a black slave mother’s effort to protect her children against its dehumanizing effect through infanticide, won the Pulitzer Prize and was instrumental in her receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. In 2006, Beloved, made into a movie starring Oprah Winfrey, was named the greatest work of American fiction in the past twenty five years by The New York Times Book Review. In her subsequent novels Jazz (1992), Paradise (1998), and Love (2003), Morrison continued her exploration of such themes as friendships between women, quest for personal identity, the complexity of the black community, a celebration of African American history and culture, and the importance of love, the dominant theme in her work, to the human experience. . . #tonimorrison #tonimorrisonquote #ohiostate #ohio #akronohio #akron #promiseschool #beloved #pulitzerprize #nobelpeaceprize #nobelprize #oprahwinfrey #morrison #civilrights #womeninhistory #womeninhistorymonth (at Peace Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO0Pl5uJL9u/?igshid=j8vuvbpbwgjl
