Just so we all know that the Melinated beings have influenced all walks of life since the beginning of time. We live in a time where races is a mere mental construct used to divide us all. There was a time where there was no such thing as “Race” #knowyourhistory #humanhistory #knowledgeispower #truthbetold #photooftheday #picoftheday

Mom Erica P. Shared her daughter Charlie’s photo with @becauseofthem and I had to share it too! She put her costume together with her grandma’s help and some pieces from her closet. How precious! Sending love to all our icons and heroes, past and present including Ms. Parks and then 15 year old Claudette Colvin who was arrested for not giving up her seat on a segregated bus months before Parks and ultimately was not acknowledged in our civil rights narrative because she happened to be a young mother. The more you know! #BlackGirlMagic #BlackHerStory #HappyHalloween #RosaParks #ClaudetteColvin #DIYCostumes #Halloween2K16 #StrengthThroughGenerations #KnowYourHistory #YPOC

Watching The Crown on #Netflix and it pains me to see the #kohinoor on the British Crown.
The largest diamond in the world ceded to the Crown after the British annexed Punjab!
Originally belonged to the #kakatiyadynasty , (South India) later graced the Mughal Peacock Throne and now part of the British Crown Jewels!
Brown people historically end up losing their treasures to white colonizers!
.
Know your history and quit white washing!

Oh yeah, and #maskup
