“I refuse & will always refuse to accept a card to be used at the library to be constructed & operated at Alfred & Wythe Streets in lieu of [a] card to be used at the existing library on Queen Street for which I have made application."  - Samuel Wilber Tucker (1913-1990) 21 yrs before #GreensboroSitIn & yrs before #Virginia schools integrated, Alexandrian's led by #civilrights attorney #SamuelTucker, staged the 1st sit-in for #desegregation in America. At the time, Queen St. was the only library building in a city w a population of 33,000. It was built in 1937 using the tax dollars of both black & white residents, but had a “whites only” policy. Tucker was sent to local segregated schools & graduated from @Howard1867. Tucker studied law on his own at @LibraryCongress & passed Virginia’s bar exam at age 20. He was too young to be sworn in until the next year. Tucker tried for several yrs to establish #RacialEquity ACCESS & OUTCOMES for public resources. On March 17, 1939, he asked retired army sergeant George Wilson to apply for a library card. The librarian refused & Tucker sued for Wilson’s right to apply for a card. On Friday, August 21, 1939, a young #AfricanAmerican entered the library & asked to register for a #librarycard. When he was refused, he picked up a book, took a seat, & began to read. Minutes later, another well-groomed black man repeated these actions. Eventually William Evans, Otto L. Tucker (Samuel's brother), Edward Gaddis, Morris Murray & Clarence Strange occupied 5 tables. Each sat silently reading a book. The 5 men were charged w “disorderly conduct”. The judge avoided issuing a ruling. The 5 were never being declared guilty or not guilty, forced to serve time or pay any fine. The judge ruled if Wilson proved residency, the library would legally be required to issue him a card. To comply without integrating, @AlexandriaVAgov built a black library (now Alexandria’s #BlackHistory Museum) as a 1-room building w a dirt yard, donated & cast-off books. Tucker refused this side step of justice. 80 yrs later, THIS is my new @alexlibva card! ✊🏿 Source: Alexandria Library & WETA  #RaceEquityAlex #EndWhiteSupremacy #TeamUppityNegro (at Alexandria Library, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/soulpowercoach/p/BxKnDn8hCDK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1is549ffh3bi

Let's walk into the sunshine the way Mr. Robert Guillaume wanted us to. We don't owe anymore dues. Our ancestors paved the way. As James Baldwin said "Our crown has already been bought and paid for.

Dig deeper into #BlackHistory Learn about the men & women who made possible the work of Rev Dr #MLK King Jr. As a mentor to King, the architect of the #MarchOnWashington & the man who debated #MalcomX at #HowardUniversity, Mr. #BayardRustin is a #CivilRightsActivist you should know more about. His guidance on #ProjectAwareness helped desegregate the restaurants on #Route40 in #HowardCounty where #ColumbiaMd would then take shape 👑 #GRATITUDE #SpeakLIFE #Resist #SpreadLOVE #UnspeakableJOY #Wisdom #Vision #Ancestors #AmericanHistory #BlackExcellence #Focus #TeamUppityNegro #Courage #BlackLivesMatter #EndWhiteSupremacy #Repost @kwelitv (@get_repost) ・・・ #BingeOnBlackHistory: BROTHER OUTSIDER The doc takes a multifaceted approach to the complexity of Bayard Rustin’s story. During his 60-year career as an activist, Rustin formulated many of the strategies that propelled the movement. Watch now on kweliTV http://htl.li/5TIY30idQxW

When do we begin holding accountable & standing against the men and women who made Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s work necessary? Why do we celebrate the Dreamer without speaking out against & directly punishing #whitesupremacy? Why must we teach our children to fight for #civilrights instead of publicly shaming this hate as unacceptable behavior? I don't need you to love me or even want to be my friend. I have no interest in pleading for a change in your heart. My #dignity and #humanity are not tied to your assessment of my #worth. I expect the law to create & enforce #socialjustice policies so people who don't look like you can live, move and thrive in #peace. I expect the law to ensure we are free & unbothered by your #fear, hatred and other mental disorders. I want the systems of #oppression dismantled. Equal Justice Under The Law is the only standard of justice. #MLKDay #CivilRights #Freedom #IHaveADream #DrKing #MLK #Clarity #AmericanHistory #EndWhiteSupremacy #Resistance #IStandWithKap #Resist #WhitePrivilege #BlackLivesMatter #MLKWeekend #SpreadLOVE #SpeakLIFE #Equanimity #PositiveVibes #TakeAKnee #TeamUppityNegro #GRATITUDE #DemocracyIsInclusive
