#black history month 2022

[bitter69uk]

In honour of Black History Month (1 October 2022 to 31 October 2022): recognize this sweet-faced teenager? It’s 19-year-old single mother and aspiring singer Anna Mae Bullock – who grew up to be fierce rhythm and blues sex tigress Tina Turner! This caption from the essential ikeandtinaturner page on Instagram fills in the details: “Tina photographed in 1958. She graduated from Sumner High School in St. Louis this year and she worked as a nurse's aide at Barnes-Jewish Hospital to provide for her son Craig who was born in August 1958. She also sang with Ike's Kings of Rhythm on a part-time basis. In August 1958, she appeared on her first recording, "Boxtop," credited as Little Ann alongside Ike and fellow Kings of Rhythm singer Carlson Oliver.” (If you’ve never heard the song “Boxtop”, Google it – Tina’s wailing voice is already instantly identifiable).

Pride 2022 01/30: Audre Lorde

A self-identified “Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet”, as a writer and an activist Audre Lorde explored the intersections of these identities in all of her work.

Her writing include critiques of heterosexual white feminism, explorations of power in women’s erotic pleasure, and the famous essay “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House”.

Not only was Audre a powerful writer in poetry, prose and academia, she also dedicated herself to amplifying the voices of other women of colour. Along with several other writers of colour, Audre founded Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press, a publishing house dedicated to giving an audience to the writings of feminists of colour.

Over the course of her life, she travelled from Mexico to Benin to Germany, raised two children along with Frances Clayton, her partner of over twenty years, and finally settled on the Caribbean island of St. Croix, where she spent her last few years with partner Gloria Joseph.

“History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.”- Dr. John Henrik Clarke

Dr. John Henrik Clarke was an American writer, historian, professor, and pioneer in the creation of Pan-African and Africana studies. He taught at both Hunter College in NYC, where he established the Department of Black and Puerto Rican studies, and Cornell University where he was the Carter G. Woodson Distinguished Visiting Professor of African History at Cornell University’s Africana Studies and Research Center.

The mural pictured above, Dr. John Henrik Clarke and the Mundari Tribe by Reginald O’Neal, was created for the 2022 edition of SHINE Mural Festival in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Quote:

How come they gave us the shortest month?

This question often comes from the Black side of the spectrum. Not stupid, just perhaps under-informed. The good news is, a little Black History is all one needs to understand the answer to that question:

National African-American History Month had its origins in 1915 when historian and author Dr. Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. This organization is now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (“ASALH”). Through this organization Dr. Woodson initiated the first Negro History Week in February 1926. Dr. Woodson selected the week in February that included the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, two key figures in the history of African-Americans.

In 1975, President Ford issued a Message on the Observance of Black History Week urging all Americans to “recognize the important contribution made to our nation’s life and culture by black citizens.” In 1976 this commemoration of Black History in the United States was officially expanded by ASALH to Black History Month, also known as African American History Month, and President Ford issued the first Message on the Observance of Black History Month.- Library of Congress

See? No one “gave us” the shortest month. Black people did it. Black people took agency and created a time to celebrate Black History. Nobody handed it to us. No one made it up for us. Pro-tip: you see something celebrating Blackness, guarantee somebody black was probably behind it. The world ain’t been handing out free “Celebrate Your Blackness” points in a minute.

So to recap: A BLACK PERSON CHOSE FEBRUARY FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. And he had serious BLACK REASONS for doing so. If you disagree with Woodson’s reasons, that’s fine. We can certainly discuss. But now you have a Black History answer to your question about Black History Month. Go run tell, tweet and preach that. And read more books. Books are cool.

i highly recommend the entire article and this year's too i'm sure
