I want a black lead romance set in the 1950s South. I want to see the lead couple swing dancing all sexy like to blues music in a smokey backwoods juke joint. Getting all hot and sweaty in the sticky southern heat.

Gimme it.

And it's not about the civil rights movement or racism. It can be mentioned in passing but not seen. I don't want to see those people (IYKYK) in it AT ALL.

Our next historical figure (or celebrity, depending on how you categorize him) is Jackie Robinson. He was the first black baseball player in Major League Baseball. He played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and earned many accolades throughout his baseball career. Although he’s most famous for breaking the color line in MLB, he had a long history of activism throughout his life. More information on him…

Black History Month -- The First Black Voter

I first did this post four years ago … The year 2020 marks the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment and the culmination of the women’s suffrage movement. The year 2020 also marks the sesquicentennial of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) and the right of black men to the ballot after the Civil War. The theme speaks, therefore, to the ongoing struggle on the part of both black men and black women…

Texas Public Radio: Distinguished war correspondent argues that civil rights movement used military strategies to knock down Jim Crow laws.

Protesters of the civil rights movement were deliberately unarmed. Nonviolence was a strategic plan of the movement to break down the segregation of the Jim Crow laws.

Thomas Ricks argues in his new book “Waging a Good War” that although the movement was nonviolent, some of the tactics used to achieve equality aligned with military strategy, thereby making the movement sustainable for some 14 years.

Can the strategies employed by civil rights leaders be considered military tactics? Should modern-day activists apply these same approaches from the civil rights era? How does this information change what we know about history?

Guest: Thomas E. Ricks, veteran journalist and author of "Waging a Good War: A Military History of the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1968"

since people are asking for them, here are my unpopular marauders opinions

(note, and i mean this in the most serious way: please, for the love of god, if you don't agree, just scroll. there is no reason to cause drama over some unpopular opinions of some random tumblr user just because you don't agree with me.)

remus is my least favorite character. don't get me wrong, i love him to bits, he's just the least intriguing to me. he's the character we've been given most of; not only that, i find sirius and james' character, as well as peter's (and his betrayal), as far more interesting

i don't really like jegulus for the same reason as remus; the dynamic is interesting, there is a lot to work with there, including the death eater and order member dynamic, but i just find some ships as more interesting

most of the characters are written as super one-dimensional and therefore i do not like most fandom characterizations which is a crucial point, to me, in whether i read the fic. i like fics in which the characters are written as real people, with human emotions and flaws, and not some qualities thrown together

some wolfstar shippers are pretty much the most annoying people in fandom (coming from a wolfstar shipper). shipping the only consistent ship in this fandom does not make you inherently better than everyone else, and just because someone else splits wolfstar for other ships dynamics does not mean anything

the black sisters and the evans sisters, if written well, can be more interesting than the black brothers and i don't think we talk enough about them (i also find the black brothers are really interesting, and i need more fics in which the intensity of these dynamics are explored)

i dislike the main characterization of regulus in fandom, being a huge fan of morally grey regulus. however, each with their own characterization, and i'm no one to judge next. i find him to be a very interesting character, however, and i like fics that dive deeper into his character

people who ship jegulus and hate lily for no reason need to chill; furthermore, people who hate mary and lily for "getting in the way" of their mlm ships are... i'm not going to comment on this, but you probably know what i mean

"stan bambi" comments on snape videos are really annoying because the very same way we don't like (and sometimes get aggressive) over snape lovers attacking the characters we like, why are we doing that to other people?

i need more peter-centered fics, and i do not like him only being a sidekick or ignored. also, mary is also a very interesting character, and i don't think we credit her enough for it

dorlene > wolfstar

the girls are far more interesting than people make them out to be and i NEED an atyd-like fic (long canon compliant etc) from their povs. it's not a want, it's a need, and i might just write it myself, because i think that a fic like that has a lot of potential

dorcas is morally grey and i need more fics in which that is a thing

this might be my most unpopular opinion but i prefer lily to regulus; i find them both to be very interesting characters, but i find myself more drawn to lily

pretty privilege is REAL in this fandom. bet that if peter and snape were conventionally attractive, they would be as loved as evan, barty, and regulus

i do not see sirius as transfem but why do people have to be so pressed about this hc. lif you don't see it, shut up, move on with your day, and let people who see it do their thing; this fandom is TOO pressed about other people's hcs

i kind of dislike fanon james because they strip him of all humanity and emotions, and make him a ray of walking sunshine with no issues (hence my essay on it, which you can read here)

james would choose sirius over regulus any day

you know what would be really cool?

a wwi (starting around 1900 and ending in 1919 specifically) percy jackson au.

with the power of the british empire seeing its share of global power decline after being dethroned by the usa in industrial output and military power while germany's unification and the rise of weltpolitik as a doctrine put it in a position to take second place, what if the gods were split in between these three powerhouses?

ignoring the greek and roman civil war that mirrored the american civil war, because the usa wasn't even all that powerful until after the civil war, so it doesn't even make sense for both camps to solely be in the usa, what would happen to camp half-blood and camp jupiter? would they have been split in three?

imagine if chiron decided to spend his time in the usa, thus explaining the bellicosity of both germany and britain and their allies.

imagine the inter-demigod politics.

imagine the different sides of the political atmosphere of the second industrial revolution and how they would affect the demigods.

"their western civilization is a disease" well in this time period, what if luke was questioning the west at the height of capitalism? what if luke was questioning the west at the height of imperialism? what if luke was questioning western capitalism during a massive rise in socialism in england?

imagine the questions these different motives would raise, like: when does capitalism stop caring about the individual? when does it become another form of control, the thing it seeks to destroy? or, on the other hand, to what extent is socialism worth it? at what point does socialism bring ruin instead of its promises of an increased quality of life?

and just a reminder: the demigods are young. they're politically radical, but they can change easily. imagine the ideological turmoil within the characters and (possibly) the reader; it's a story where there's no right answer for who the good guys are.

imagine the war itself. with the advancements in military technology since the last major European conflict 99 years ago, we can only assume that it's a reflection of the increase in strength of demigod powers, and they're eager to show it off too. imagine the combined strength of numerous big three demigods, who are ready to test their powers on real opponents in real battles.

holy shit I didn't mean to write this much.

#pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #luke castellan #camp half blood #camp jupiter #I didn't forget civil rights and the progressive era btw #could be another interesting political issue to explore #can't figure out how to fit kronos in here #he could be germany #disguising himself as whoever bismarck's successor was #and the other central powers are the other titans?#idk #anyways I'm going to go write something else that's been torturing me for a few days

♫ Dancing In The Street ♫ (Redux)

When rawgod mentioned this one tonight, it immediately began playing in my head and, since I was pondering what to do for a music post, I seized upon it! Hope you guys like it! I hope you’re in the mood for a bit of something upbeat tonight, for I am greatly in need of what I think of as ‘happy music’, which often leads me to Motown, and tonight is no exception. This song was written by Motown…

The poster made a correction that was actually North Little Rock High.

Like we keep saying, if heroes/activists/victims of the civil rights era are still alive, so are these people.

Jerry Jones confirmed it's him and basically claimed that he just wanted to see the students walk in and see what happened and he does appear to just be standing there watching.

Though he gets no points for just standing by and watching his fellow white students bully Black kids, either, even if he didn't participate. And it's gross that he just couldn't handle the FOMO of missing his fellow white students bully Black kids (cause he said the football team, which he was on, was told to enter through the back and not be anywhere near this because they knew what would happen but he just had to go see it). Yeah, he was 14. But I give teenagers the respect they're due. He knew that shit was wrong and at the very least should've just not gone to see it like it was entertainment.

The relevance for me is just that this is the first time I've seen a prominent living figure identified in one of these historical pictures on the wrong side of history.
