Meet queer pioneer Stormé Delarverie! As a biracial woman born in New Orleans, Delarvarie made her way to New York City where she performed as a singer, often in drag, and would come to be known as the "Rosa Parks" of NYC's LGBTQ+ community.

Identifying as a lesbian, Delarverie was on the forefront of "butch" fashion culture in the '40s and '50s, blurring the lines between a masculine and feminine appearance, and often performing on stage as a man.

While there are conflicting accounts as to who sparked the Stonewall uprising, some believe DeLarverie's arrest and a subsequent scuffle with police ignited the action. She referred to the event not as a riot, but as "a rebellion, an uprising, it was a civil rights disobedience." She would serve as a bouncer at many lesbian bars, and as a member of the Stonewall Veterans' Association, being known as a rough-and-tumble protector and guardian of the local LGBTQ+ community.

Forgot to post this during February so here it is now.

Clara Belle Williams was the first black graduate of New Mexico State University. Since she was often not allowed inside the classrooms, she had to take notes from the hallway. She became a teacher, teaching black kids during the day, and their parents (who used to be slaves) during the night. She was 108 when she died and NMSU named their English Department after her.

Today marks the last 5 days of Black History Month here in the UK and if I am honest – I am disappointed. I am not just disappointed by it being overshadowed by blackfishers dominating the news endorsed by a certain black celebrity, gaining clout and many people who act like ‘allies’ saying that the month should be scrapped rather than celebrating the amazing black people in their life… no, I am honestly disappointed by the sheer fact that even after all these years – black history only has amounted to ‘slavery’. For me yeah slavery has a part to do with showing our power, our resilience, our strength when we unite BUT black history is more than that. It’s the women who started the ‘me too’ movement, it’s the celebration of the black excellence that we do not see in mainstream media, it’s the beautiful creative and amazing blueprint we have given the world countlessly and receive no accolades for. It’s the celebration of the black creatives on TikTok taking a stand or just the celebration of black joy! Anyway enough of my ramblings. Black History Month has nothing to do with slavery and EVERYTHING to do with black people, black joy, black excellence, black everything! This is not a political issue, it a human issue because as I always say, until we are seen as humans – starting with how we see each other, how we respect each other and how we celebrate each other. There is so much more to unite us than there is to separate us – whether we are British, American, Caribbean, African, European – being black is NOT monolith. P.S. – Slavery is white history, not Black History. It was rebranded very well but it is not a reflection on us, but a reflection on the colonisers. #isaidwhatisaid How has Black History Month 2021 been for you?

🎉Happy Birthday Rosa Parks 🎉

"Each person must live their life as a model for others" - Rosa Parks

This is such an important concept. We all are connected as we live our lives. People see us on the street and in our homes and social circles. Some of us still go to a job and interact with coworkers. How much better would the world be if we all held this bit of wisdom in our hearts? A LOT better I think. <3

#Repost @golocalasheville ... February is Black History Month. Carter G. Woodson, a Black historian, author, and journalist, founded The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) in 1915 in response to the lack of representation of Blacks in American history. The ASALH aimed to promote the study of African American history and achievement as a discipline, and in 1926, Woodson and the ASALH created "Negro History Week" to further fortify the importance of Black heritage. It was originally celebrated during the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, until 1976, when it was officially replaced by Black History Month. While we honor this in February, we also remember that social justice, cultural curiosity, and historical awareness have no calendar date; we celebrate the lives of Black people in the past, present and the future. Supporting Black-owned businesses is one of many important ways to invest in our community and honor the Black community year-round…and we want to help you do that here in Asheville! In our online business directory, you can find Black-owned businesses by typing it into the filter or sort businesses using our "Owned by People of Color" filter, where you'll find a variety of Asheville Grown Business Alliance shops + organizations to support. We’ve also partnered with Yoruba, Asheville’s local Black-owned business directory, and you can search with our filter for their members. We've also got a link in our bio (and in our stories) for the perfect date day in Asheville, taking you through ALL black-owned businesses -- perfect for the Valentine's weekend! What Black-owned businesses in Asheville are YOUR favorites?! Head there this month for our #828GoLocalChallenge (support 8 local businesses in 28 days), snap + share a picture and use our challenge hashtag so we can share the love! . . . . . . #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2021 #supportblackownedbusinesses #ashevillegrown #golocalasheville #lovelocal #ashevillenc #ashevillefolk #ashevillelocals #visitasheville #whylocalmatters #smallbizlove #whyweloveasheville #locallove https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1SLjuBYAQ/?igshid=ipptu9hifuf2

The people in Middle Age Europe knew about Musa; he was included on the Triple A list of their day. . What I find interesting about this great King, is that, unlike our modern day money makers, he was more interested in bettering his culture with that wealth than simply hanging on to it. . He may not have made trillionaire like some people, but bettering a culture with $415 billion aint half bad. .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #blackhistory #blackhistory365 #blackhistorymonthart #blackandproud #blackhistorymonthprogram #blacklove #blackhistorymonthuk #art #black #blackhistorymonth2021 #bhm2020 #africanamerican #melanin #melanated #blackhistorymonthnails #black365 #blackhistorymonthmakeup #blackgirlmagic #bhm #love #blackculture #blackhistorymonth6 #blackexcellence #blackhistorymonth9 #blackhistorymonth2020 #blackhistorymonth✊🏾 #blackhistorymonth2019 #blackhistorymonthiseveryday #blackhistorymonthmemes #blackhistorymonthedition (at Westborough, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1_NEaAisr/?igshid=14q5djqh8k97w

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we're celebrating queer pioneers! Ernestine Eckstein was one of the first Black women on the forefront of the LGBTQ+ rights movement in the 1960's, putting her knowledge from the Civil Rights movement to good use. . After college, she moved to New York City where she grew into her identity as a lesbian and decided to join the movement for LGBTQ+ rights. After a friend explained the term "gay" to her, she said, "Then all of a sudden things began to click … the next thing on the agenda was to find a way of being in the homosexual movement." . Eckstein often demonstrated for LGBTQ+ rights as the only woman of color among other white protestors, connecting the dots between Black Civil Rights and LGBTQ+ rights. She eventually became a leader in the New York chapter of Daughters of Bilitis, as well as other Black feminist organizations like Black Women Organized for Action (BWOA). She was in favor of doing away with labels, and uniting people together as people alone. “I’d like to find a way of getting all classes of homosexuals involved together in the movement." 💪

Art I did during the #abddrawalong today

Queen Njinga (Nzinga), (1583–1663), was the queen of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms (occupying what is today the country of Angola in the southern part of Africa) for 37 years. She is renowned for her intelligence, political and diplomatic wisdom, as well as her excellent military skill. Queen Nzinga is best remembered for her resistance against the Portuguese, and setting her people free from slavery.

It's that time of year again! Happy Black History Month! Going to post something positive every day from a figure in Black History, past and present. Starting with Thurgood Marshall: "In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute" As we interact with each other in business (or personally) let's focus on seeing those around us, really seeing them. See that we have much more in common than we have things to disagree on. Even if you make money online and don't deal directly with most of your customers, still keep in the front of your mind that they are real people on the other side of those transactions.

Today in #myblackhistory (cuz #blackhistoryisAmericanhistory), I’ll tell you of my greatgreatgreatgrandfather on my mother’s side, Peter. G. Morgan. His life overlapped the same time period as the life of Ouidette Badu. (Pic1) Peter G. Morgan He was born a slave on 10/21/1817 on a plantation in Nottoway County, VA. I once found that his boyhood owner was his father and MAY have been Indigenous and White, as Peter Morgan identified as tri-racial. He became a shoemaker and saddler, and could read and white. He was allowed him to hire himself out and made enough money to purchase his freedom, but VA law required that he own members of his family. He paid $1,000 to free his wife and during the Civil War moved his family to Petersburg VA. In 1864 he freed his sons and daughters; after the war he had several more children. Morgan ran a saloon, served on the school board and the city council. He helped to found the People’s Savings Bank in Petersburg, but it failed in the Panic of 1873. In 1867 Morgan was elected to two terms in the Virgina House of Delegates, serving as a Republican from 1869-1871. There were several Black politicians during that time period, but during the years 1872-1876, there were at at least 12 large scale massacres in LA, AL, TX, TN, MS and SC, many of which targeted politically active African Americans. Also, the Klan was born. (Remaining pics of VA Capitol, and some political cartoons) Morgan died in 1890 in Lawrenceville, VA at his daughter Virginias’s home; she was the wife of the President and founder of Saint Paul’s College. Morgan’s daughter Elizabeth gave birth to Alberta who gave birth to Truman Jr. who’s daughter is my mother. Peter G. Morgan is also the ancestor of Ben Jealous. No, we don’t know each other. Y’all should REALLY read about the Reconstruction, cuz it kind of feels like right now. https://eji.org/report/reconstruction-in-america/ https://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Morgan_Peter_G_1817-1890 https://www.britannica.com/event/Reconstruction-United-States-history #betyoudidntknowthatshit #themoreyouknow #itsmorethanyouthought #BlackHistoryMonth2021 #Blackhistoryisfamilyhistory (at Petersburg, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzC7HZh71Z/?igshid=qee1d5fex8
