Four years before Rosa Parks ignited the Montgomery Bus boycott by refusing to give up her seat in Alabama, there was PFC Sarah Keys from the Keyesville neighborhood of Washington, NC, who when traveling from Fort Dix in NJ back home to Washington on August 1, 1951, was told to relinquish her seat to a white Marine and move to the back of the bus.
Keys refused to move, whereupon the driver emptied the bus, directed the other passengers to another vehicle, and barred Keys from boarding it. When Keys asked why she shouldn’t ride the bus, she was arrested, and spent 13 hours in a cell. Keys was eventually ordered to pay a $25 fine for disorderly conduct, was released, and put on a bus to her hometown. Her case was brought before the Interstate Commerce Commission with Dovey Johnson Roundtree as her lawyer and wasn’t settled until 1955. In Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company, the ICC favored Keys, ruling the Interstate Commerce Act forbids segregation. #BlackHistoryMonth #TheMoreYouKnow #themoreyouknowthemoreyougrow less

On March 31, 1914, 4 inebriated white men decided to drive over to the Blk community of Wagoner County, Oklahoma with the intent to sexually assault Blk women...these men broke into the home of 17 y/o Marie Scott and proceeded to sexuallly assault her..
Marie's brother heard her cries for help, grabbed a knife and ran to help his sister..Marie stated they fought off the 4 men, with one man, Lemuel Pierce, being stabbed to death...she told her brother to run, and he did.
Marie was arrested by the local sheriff and his deputies, WITH NO ARRESTS, INDICTMENT OR CHARGES BEING BROUGHT AGAINST HER ATTACKERS
An angry white mob became enraged when they couldn't find Marie's brother, so they dragged Marie, kicking and screaming, from her jail cell, and hung this 17 y/o sexually assaulted child from a nearby telephone pole on March 31, 1914.
Marie's brother was never caught or charged in the murder of one of her rapists.
Such was the life of the Blk woman during the Jim Crow era...though she was no longer a chattel slave, her body and sexuality was STILL BEING USED, ABUSED AND DISCARDED BY THE WY MAN at his whim, without ANY CONSEQUENCES whatsoever
We honor our Ancestors, and remember the turmoil, anguish and egregious wrongs they suffered..REST IN POWER, YOUNG QUEEN✊🏿 #blackhistorymonth less

I found this soulful song, "I Just Want to Make Love to You," by Etta James. I love this song. It has poetry, passion, and soul we really can't find in Black American music today. If you think that a recent Black American artist has this type of poetry and passion, please comment with a recommendation for the recent artist and that artist's song, so I can listen to it on YouTube or something. I have been very dissatisfied with Black American music since the mid-1990s. It seems that since the mid-1990s, the mainstream entertainment industry have banned Black Americans from using Soul and R&B and reserved it only for non-Black Americans. So, when we go out on the radio to look for R&B/Soul, a white person is singing the closest semblance of traditional R&B/Soul and the major Black American artists are singing pop music and simply calling it R&B/Soul by virtue of being Black. But race is not the same as culture. When Black American culture is stolen and absorbed into the mainstream where they can't use it, this assimilation process takes away those things that make Black Americans, culturally, "Black" and/or "Black American." The music industry is leading a a cultural genocide against Black Americans via assimilation. It is a genocide via assimilation. Cultural "Blackness" is being redefined by a non-Black American majority and the coopted Black American artists, who perform crossover music to gain wealth, power, and prestige. Listen to Etta James' "I Just Want to Make Love to You" at https://youtu.be/RJiL5siOqqw. Ask yourselves why Black Americans are not allowed to make R&B/Soul music anymore. If they are, it is not making it to the radio and those artists are not marketed as major players in the music industry. If you have recommendations to a recent artist with traditional Black American R&B/Soul music, please respond with your recommendations and possibly a link to the YouTube video, if you can. #blackhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans, #rythemandblues, #rnb, #randb, #soul, #music, #blackmusic, #whitemusic, #banned, #stolen, #culture, #identity. less
