Day 14 of 365 Days of Black History...

DID YOU KNOW?

Jesse Owens became the first American to win four gold medals in track and field.

Jesse Owens on Hilter/Berlin Olympics

"Hitler didn't snub me; it was our president [FDR] who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send a telegram." — Jesse Owens after winning FOUR GOLD medals in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. FDR invited each white US olympian to the White House, but not Jesse. #BHM2021 ❤🖤💚

“I’d rather go down in history as one lone Negro who dared to tell the government that it had done a dastardly thing than to save my skin by taking back what I said.” -Mrs. Ida B. Wells

(Translation: I said what I said!)

-  Ashley Robertson Preston, Ph.D.

“Ida Bell Wells (July 16, 1862 to March 25, 1931), better known as Ida B. Wells, was an African-American journalist, abolitionist and feminist who led an anti-lynching crusade in the United States in the 1890s. She went on to found and become integral in groups striving for African-American justice.” (x)

Happy Black History Month!

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” - Nelson Mandela

The Artist:

I want to start by giving complete credit for these images to the amazingly talented artist to which they belong, Domonique Brown. She has inspired me so much with her artwork and I wanted to embody that within this game that we all love so much! 

Please strive to support Black artists and businesses year round, but especially this month! You can purchase and view more of her work here: 

Official website DomoInk 

Instagram 

Society6 

(She would love to see come pictures of this with your Sims in the game, so if you take good pics, please share some with me & I will send them to her!)

The Reasoning:

Black History Month hits much harder this year because in 2020 the overlooked struggles that Black and Brown people continue to face were displayed at the highest level thus far within our lifetime. History was made in 2020 and it has profoundly shown how important it is to remember where we’ve been and acknowledge the contribution, innovation, and resiliency of Black people all across the globe.

There is a severe lack of content for Black simmers within the Sims series and I applaud all of the content creators who have put in the work and dedication to create a more inclusive and representative community! 

I converted these pieces as a contribution and to show love and admiration for Black artists, Black people, and the ever so unique Black experience. It never ceases to amaze me how much pride and unity I feel during this month. I really hope you guys like these and I hope they make you feel as good as they make me feel!

From the eighteenth-century poetry of Phillis Wheatley to the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s, Black artists in America have long grappled with the place of Africa in their lives and art: What is Africa to the Black artist for whom transatlantic slavery profoundly altered a cultural connection to the continent? In A Sidelong Glance, John Edmonds extends this question, refracting it through a photographic practice that centers African art, highlighting its position as a complex site of identity, power, and artistic ingenuity. The exhibition comprises a three-part series featuring portraits and still lifes of Central and West African sculptures and masks drawn from private and public collections, including the artist’s own, as seen in Anatolli & Collection, 2019. 

This Black History Month we’ll be exploring this aspect of John Edmonds’s practice through select works from his first solo museum exhibition, on view at the Brooklyn Museum through August 8.

Edward Bouchet (1852-1918)

Bouchet was the son of a formerly enslaved person who had moved to New Haven, Connecticut. Only three schools there accepted Black students at the time, so Bouchet's educational opportunities were limited. However, he managed to get admitted to Yale and became the first African American to earn a Ph.D. and the sixth American of any race to earn one in physics. Although segregation prevented him from attaining the kind of position he should have been able to get with his outstanding credentials (sixth in his graduating class), he taught for 26 years at the Institute for Colored Youth, serving as an inspiration to generations of young Black people.

It's that sharing time of the year when we remember and reconnect, ponder and wonder, muse and infuse the African diaspora.

100+ LGBTQ Black Women You Should Know: The Epic Black History Month Megapost

“Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and transgender women represent a vibrant and visible portion of the LGBTQ community. In addition to the legends of the Harlem Renaissance and the decades of groundbreaking activism spearheaded by women like Audre Lorde, Barbara Smith and Angela Davis, many of the most prominent coming out stories of the past two years have been black women like Brittney Griner, Raven-Symonè, Diana King and Robin Roberts. Meanwhile, Laverne Cox and Janet Mock have become the most visible transgender women in media.

So, in honor of Black History Month, below you’ll find over 100 lesbian, bisexual, gay, queer and transgender women you should know about. If she was still alive, the oldest person in this list would be 189 years old. The youngest person on this list is a mere 21 years of age. Like all our lists of this sort, this post aims to contain a wide variety of humans of all ages and backgrounds, from reality TV show stars (despite its numerous failings, Reality TV has been a major mainstream source of LGBTQ visibility dating back to the early ’90s) to State Representatives to actresses to game-changing activists.

See the list here, and bookmark it! GREAT resource.

"During the uprisings last summer, I told all my Black friends who complain to me about the experiences they have in these predominantly white environments: "Yo, now is the time to fucking say the things that you haven't been saying." They're texting you while you're at home, asking you, "Are you OK?" They're sending you cookies and shit. You need to go to HR and ask for another $20,000. Like, do it now. You need to talk about getting promoted. And my friends who did that got promoted. They got something out of it. And you know what? If they were to go back now and make the same demands, they probably wouldn't get them. So I look at it like that: Get it while the getting is hot. But I'm not out here drinking the Kool-Aid. I'm not stupid."

- Judas and the Black Messiah director Shaka King speaking to GQ's Julian Kimble in "Judas and the Black Messiah and the Black Excellence Industrial Complex"

TL:DR? First (recorded) Black man in the New World was a former slave who won his freedom, sailed to the Caribbean and renamed himself “Handsome John.” Which is pimp as fuck.

He rode into Tenochtítlan (modern-day Mexico City) at Cortes’ side when Spanish and Aztec first met (there are drawings from the period showing he was there) (and yes, he was on the side of the oppressor, so to speak, but still)

He was the first free Black dude in Florida (that whole “Fountain of Youth” expedition? He was there helping look for it)

he later (after the Conquest) was recorded as the first person to start a wheat farm in the New World, and grew rich. He literally planted a few random wheat seeds he found in a spare canvas sack from Spain and made a small fortune.

When I say that Black history is American history, THIS is what I’m talking about. This is 400 years before Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. Black History is American History. Period.
