Today marks what would have been Malcolm X’s 99th birthday, let’s take this moment to reflect on his profound impact on the civil rights movement. As a prominent figure in the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X championed black empowerment, self-reliance, and the importance of African American identity. His powerful oratory skills and unflinching advocacy for racial justice challenged the systemic oppression faced by African Americans and inspired a generation to take pride in their heritage. Malcolm X’s philosophy evolved significantly after his pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964, where he embraced a more inclusive vision of racial harmony and human rights. He founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity, aiming to unite all people of African descent and promote human rights on a global scale. Despite his assassination in 1965, Malcolm X’s ideas and speeches continue to resonate, influencing contemporary movements for social justice and equality.

May is Haitian Heritage Month. In honor of that we will share important Haitian figures. Starting with Toussaint Louverture. Toussaint was born into slavery in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) in 1743, he rose to become one of the most significant figures in the Haitian Revolution. He displayed remarkable leadership skills, strategic brilliance, and a commitment to freedom. Louverture led enslaved Africans in a successful revolt against French colonial rule, eventually establishing Haiti as the first independent black republic in the Americas in 1804. His military prowess and political acumen were instrumental in defeating European powers and securing Haiti’s sovereignty. ‘Book our walking tours and cultural experiences on our website at www.jojosventuresnyc.com Follow us on social media: FB: Jojo’s Ventures IG: @jojosventuresnyc TT: jojosventuresnyc - - - - - #jojosventuresnyc #ventureNYCwithjojo #morethanjustthecity #nyctourism #nyctours #harlemtours #brooklyntours #queenstours #manhattantours #bronxtours #statenislandtours #nyctour #blackhistory #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryeveryday #blackhistorybootcamp #blackhistoryyear #blackhistoryiseveryday #blackhistorybooks #blackhistoryisworldhistory #blackhistoryinthemaking #blackhistory #toussaint #toussaintlouverture #haitian #haitianheritage #haitianheritagemonth
In the heart of a forsaken mine, echoes of a bygone era linger in the shadows. The silence now envelops what was once teeming with life and bustling with activity. "Wieczorek" mine, a relic of forgotten toil and camaraderie, stands stoic against time's relentless march. Through black and white lens, we witness fragments of its memory: an abandoned gate marked by faded words, a haunting clock tower bathed in moonlight. Each image tells a poignant tale of labor lost, dreams shattered, and lives intertwined with this industrial ghost town.

Some people he interviewed for the Instagram project have spoken of dealing with a black family member being assaulted by police at the same time that a Mexican family member was struggling with the threat of deportation. Others spoke of being forced to choose sides on the school playground. Or of being rejected by both sides. From Eden to exile by David Rohl Chapter Eight This was no ordinary statue. It was nearly three metres high. It depicted Joseph in his prime, with flame-red hair, a pale yellow skin tone (to indicate his northern origins), and a throw-stick held across the right shoulder as his symbol of high office … but also clearly marking him out as an Asiatic (and not Egyptian) servant of Pharaoh. The body of the statue was painted as if wrapped in the full-length robe of the vizier. But it was a vizier's cloak of a very different kind - decorated in an elaborate pattern of reds, blues, blacks and whites to represent the woven coat-of-many-colours' of a Middle Bronze Age Asiatic chieftain.

April is National Poetry Month 📚 throughout the month we will be showcasing poets who had significant contributions in history. Beginning with the bright Richard Wright. The celebrated author and poet, left an indelible mark on American literature during the 20th century. Born in 1908 in Mississippi, Wright’s upbringing in the racially segregated South profoundly influenced his writing, shaping his exploration of themes such as racism, oppression, and social injustice. While Wright is best known for his groundbreaking novels such as “Native Son” and “Black Boy,” which vividly depict the struggles of African Americans in the United States, he also made significant contributions to poetry. His poetry often echoed the same themes of racial identity and the quest for freedom that permeated his prose. Wright’s poetry reflects the raw emotion and stark realism that characterized his literary style. Through his verse, he delved into the complexities of the human condition, confronting the harsh realities of racism and inequality with unflinching honesty. As we celebrate National Poetry Month, let us remember Richard Wright not only as a novelist but also as a poet whose work continues to inspire and provoke thought.

In honor of Marvin Gaye’s 40th death anniversary, we will highlight some of his accomplishments and achievements. He was a legendary American singer-songwriter, he left an indelible mark on the music industry with his soulful voice and socially conscious lyrics. Marvin began his career as a session drummer before transitioning to singing and songwriting. He signed with Motown Records in the 1960s and quickly rose to fame with hits like “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)” and “Ain’t That Peculiar.” Gaye’s groundbreaking album “What’s Going On,” released in 1971, addressed social and political issues such as poverty, racism, and the Vietnam War. It marked a departure from Motown’s typical commercial sound and solidified Gaye as a voice for change within the music industry. In addition to his musical achievements, Gaye faced personal struggles, including battles with addiction and tumultuous relationships. Tragically, he was shot and killed by his father, Marvin Gay Sr., on April 1, 1984, one day before his 45th birthday, following a domestic dispute. Marvin Gaye’s legacy lives on through his timeless music, which continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, and his contributions to soul music and social activism remain unparalleled.

Isabel Sanford was an American actress best known for her role as Louise “Weezy” Jefferson on the sitcoms “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons.” She won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 1981 for her performance on “The Jeffersons.” making her the first African-American actress to win in that category and remained the only African-American actress to do so until 2023-24 when @quintab Quinta Brunson achieved this feat for her role as Janine Teagues on Abbott Elementary. Sanford’s portrayal of Weezy Jefferson was groundbreaking for its positive representation of an African-American family on television during the 1970s and 1980s. The Jeffersons was one of the first shows to portray an upper middle class Black family, paving the way for The Cosby Show and other successors.

Mary Lou Williams was a jazz pianist, composer, and arranger whose influence on the history and culture of black music is profound. She rose to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance, where she became known for her innovative compositions and arrangements that bridged the gap between traditional jazz and bebop. Williams’ career spanned several decades, during which she collaborated with some of the most iconic figures in jazz, including Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk. Beyond her musical contributions, Williams was a mentor to many aspiring musicians, particularly women, and she played a vital role in shaping the evolution of jazz as a distinctly American art form. As a pioneering figure in a male-dominated industry, Williams broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of female musicians. She challenged societal norms and stereotypes, demonstrating that women could excel as composers, arrangers, and bandleaders in the world of jazz. Williams actively mentored and supported aspiring female musicians, providing them with guidance, encouragement, and opportunities to showcase their talents.
