The Family #Photographs That Helped Us Investigate How a University Displaced a #Black Community
==
A longtime resident of the Shoe Lane area in #Virginia chronicled the life of his community as it was demolished by Christopher Newport University.
His photographs helped a reporter seek #accountability.

New Legislation Would Expand Access to Disaster Relief, Provide Help With Titles for Large Number of #Black Landowners
==
The bills come after ProPublica’s reporting on land passed down informally within #families, known as heirs’ property.
Representing about one-third of Black-owned land in the #South, it can be ineligible for aid and vulnerable to forced sales.
Thanks @medium for featuring my story about my experience as a #Black #transmasculine US-American in today's newsletter. Originally published in December, but timely as we enter #Pride weekend here in #SanFrancisco.

读过 Economy Hall 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
[Made in NOLA] 一堆險些被當廢紙處理的破舊日誌記載的竟是延續百年的紐奧良黑人社群協作和抗爭的歷史。從這些破舊記錄裡還原的一個個鮮活個體的故事竟可以一直延續到作者著手調查和寫作的過程中，從可以在這些日誌找到自己祖先的左鄰右舍，到見證社團舊址最後一刻命運的父母摯友，更不用說熟識的樂界泰斗無不將這個曾經位於 Treme 社區裡的小樓尊為爵士樂的聖堂。所以說嘛，我們在紐奧良的小學從來沒教過愛國歌曲，coz New Orleans is way much Greater than this sick country. 真是受不了沒文化的北方佬“my country my country”地叨叨叨…NOLA獨立 刻不容緩！

Wow, #Trump immediately offending the very first #black #journalist.
Calling her rude, offensive, awful, nasty, hostile.
Accusing her of inviting him under false pretenses.
Complaining about a late start.
He is outrageously #aggressive to the journalists.
Wow accuses #KamalaHarris of “suddenly turning black” after identifying as #Indian prior. Absolutely false.
Says #Harris “could be” a #DEI hire.
Says #immigrants are taking “#BlackJobs”

"US prosecutors unveiled criminal charges on Monday against two alleged leaders of a white supremacist gang, accusing them of soliciting attacks on #Black, #Jewish, #LGBTQ people and immigrants in hopes of inciting a #race war...
The group's targets also included U.S. government officials and critical infrastructure sites, with an overall goal of causing societal collapse in the US" https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-charges-alleged-white-supremacist-gangsters-with-trying-incite-race-war-2024-09-09/#:~:text=WASHINGTON%2C%20Sept%209%20(Reuters),of%20inciting%20a%20race%20war.
ICYMI, Adam Serwer’s “The REAL DEI Candidates”
“…Many *#conservatives* have focused on #DEI not because of their moral & sometimes practical objections to #diversity efforts…but because it allows THEM to express underlying assumptions about the inherent inferiority of #Black people & #women implicitly, w/o sounding like THEY are making those assumptions themselves.“

#Obama suggests some in the #Black community are uncomfortable voting for a #woman & are coming up w/excuses. Fmr president Barack Obama on Thurs made a direct, impassioned plea to Black #men to support VP #KamalaHarris — a key demographic she is struggling to mobilize — admonishing them for thinking about sitting out the presidential contest as well as suggesting #sexism might be at play.

I just watched a very interesting bio of #HazelScott on #PBS #AmericanMasters.
Scott was a #Black woman who was a #MusicalProdigy who was enrolled at #Julliard at a very young age, who mastered the classics but who made a living mainly playing jazz & #popular music w/crossovers to classical music.
Hazel was married (for a time) to #AdamClaytonPowell, had the 1st TV show in the 50's staring a #Black performer before #NatKingCole got one, made a few movies on her own terms before being #BlackListed from the #movies & from #TV because she stood up for the herself & the rights of others & who lived for a time in #Paris, like a lot of Black creative people did to escape the discrimination they felt in the #US.
If any of this interests you, I recommend that you watch the episode which you can find in the link below:

On June 6 1944 #DDay his all #Black antiaircraft artillery battalion stormed the beaches of #Normandy
“War is gruesome. And I think most soldiers who came back, we don’t talk about it. We really don’t. It’s just, it’s beyond, it’s just beyond your imagination"
His grandparents were born into #slavery
He cofounded the first Black owned and operated commercial #bank in #NewEngland:

Read about Frances Thompson, a Black, transgender woman whose testimony before Congress helped push them to ratify the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. This is the history that has been whitewashed - and straightwashed - in the US and that is once again in danger of being forgotten.

Your girl is trying to make it to Playtopia in Dec and reconnect with my communities in the area. It's honestly not the most urgent of matters, but being a #black #transartist in Southern Africa, this is a really big opportunity for me. I get to enter the predominantly white #gamedev spaces and make my voice heard.
