Rare 1920s Footage: All-Black Towns Living the American Dream | National Geographic
By the 1920s, Oklahoma was home to some 50 African-American towns, in addition to a large and prosperous black community living in the city of Tulsa. These towns and their self-reliant middle class and affluent residents are documented by the home movies of Reverend S. S. Jones, an itinerant minister and businessman. Known and respected by the citizens of the towns whose lives he captured on film, Rev. Jones’s work offers revealing glimpses of these communities as a haven for African Americans who very often faced discrimination elsewhere in America. The subjects are everyday life: a family on the front porch of their bungalow, shop workers at a storefront, farmers plowing their fields, children playing on seesaws in a schoolyard. Much of the material documents the economic life of the towns, from business districts filled with prosperous merchants to the homes of successful professionals, with an abundant countryside beyond. As Rhea Combs, curator of film and photography for the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, points out in her commentary, here we even find a married couple who were oil barons, proof of the extraordinary progress made in the relatively short time since the end of slavery. The fashions and hairstyles, automobiles and horses, and even such details as a man manually pumping gasoline at a filling station make the films a fascinating record of the lives of Americans, and African Americans in particular, in the early 20th century.

IntroBooks
The African-American history is fragment of America’s history which precisely converses the Black American traditional groups staying in United States of America. Maximum of this population are original people of Africa who were deliberately brought and kept in confinement in the United States of America from 1555 to 1865. Many blacks whose ancestors had emigrated from the Caribbean to America are also considered to be African-American as their roots go back to Central or West Africa.
Black Women Who Changed America, Frisco Museum Lecture Series
The Winter Lecture Series at the Frisco Historic Park and Museum presents Jill Tietjen with her talk on Black Women Who Changed America.
Nat Turner's Bible: History, Heritage and Healing. A Family Story
Presented by Norfolk Public Library in Norfolk, VA. A fascinating lecture by Mark Person and Wendy Creekmore Porter. Nat Turner's Bible came from England in the 1700's and was given to Nat Turner as a child. The Person family was presented with the Bible in 1912 and the tiny bible was donated to the African American Museum of History and Culture in 2010 when Ms Wendy Creekmore Porter contacted Smithsonian officials. The Bible was with Nat Turner when he was captured in 1831 by Benjamin Phipps and kept in safe keeping by the courthouse. It is now a centerpiece of the new African American Museum of History and Culture. Over 1.3 million visitors have passed thru the new museum since the opening in September, 2016. This lecture is about Nat Turner's Bible: History,Heritage, and Healing: A Family Story. The focus is on history and reconciliation - doing the right thing in donating the Bible and not trying to profit from such a national and international treasure.
Here is the link to the CBS Sunday Morning story about Nat's bible in the Black History Museum which the presenters refer to -

Carter G. Woodson | Celebrating Carter G. Woodson

Carter G. Woodson
Today’s Doodle by Virginia-based illustrator Shannon Wright and developed in collaboration with the Black Googlers Network (one of the largest employee resource groups at Google), marks the beginning of Black History Month by celebrating Carter G.
Woodson - the man often called the “Father of Black History.
” Woodson’s legacy inspired me to become an African American Studies major in college, and I am honored to kick off Google’s celebration this month by highlighting the life of this great American scholar.
Woodson was born in 1875 in New Canton, Virginia, to former slaves Anne Eliza and James Henry Woodson.
His parents never had the opportunity to learn to read and write, but he had an appetite for education from the very beginning.
As a young man, he helped support his family through farming and working as a miner, which meant that most of his education came via self-instruction.
He eventually entered high school at the age of 20 and earned his diploma in less than two years!Woodson went on to earn a master’s degree from the University of Chicago, after which he became the second African-American ever to receive a doctorate from Harvard University.
He was also one of the first scholars to focus on the study of African-American history, writing over a dozen books on the topic over the years.
In addition to studying it himself, Woodson was committed to bringing African-American history front and center and ensuring it was taught in schools and studied by other scholars.
He devised a program to encourage this study, which began in February of 1926 as a weeklong event.
Woodson chose February for this celebration to commemorate the birth months of abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln.
This program eventually expanded to become what we now today as Black History Month.
Woodson’s commitment to achieve an education for himself and spread awareness and pride in Black history inspired me and continues to do so in so many ways.
As a black woman from an underserved, underperforming public school in Richmond, California, many in my community didn’t expect me to achieve much beyond the four corners of my neighborhood.
When I voiced my ambition to go to Harvard, I was told by teachers, guidance counselors, and even some family members that “people like me” didn’t go to schools like that.
Fortunately, my parents believed in me and supported ambitions beyond their vision and experience.
That support, along with the inspiration of great American leaders like Woodson, gave me the confidence to follow my dreams and achieve more than I’ve ever imagined.
This Black History Month, I encourage others to learn more about the incredible legacy, contribution, and journey of black people in the United States.
I also hope they will be inspired by the example of Carter G.
Woodson and challenge themselves to push beyond any perceived limitations to achieve a goal they may think is just out of reach.
-Sherice Torres, Director of Brand Marketing at Google & Black Googlers Network member Throughout the month we'll continue to celebrate Black history across our products.
For example, visit Google Arts & Culture to explore more of Carter G.
Woodson’s life and legacy as well as the origins of Black History Month.

Dressing the Past: Historical Reenactors & Exploring American Identity Through Costume
The periods of the American Revolution and the Civil War remain topics of pride and contention, subjects of popular writing, and inspiration for costumed performance. In 18th-century garments at Colonial Williamsburg and in 19th-century uniforms on Civil War battlefields, modern Americans celebrate the nation's history, and at the same time take the opportunity to air their political and cultural opinions while exploring significant aspects of their identities. Their costumes, differing from their daily dress, help them fulfill personal desires while they join with others in collective public performance.

Deep Soul: Twentieth-Century African American Freedom Struggles and the Making of the Modern World
(04:14 Main Presentation, 59:18 Q&A)
Twentieth-Century African American Freedom Struggles transformed both US and World History. These seminal liberation struggles include the important yet relatively unknown series of early twentieth-century southern African American streetcar boycotts as well as the iconic Civil Rights-Black Power Insurgency (1935-75). First, Waldo Martin examines why and how these foundational freedom struggles proved essential to the making of the modern African American Freedom Movement. Second, he examines the centrality of the modern African American Freedom Movement to both the creation of the modern United States and the development of the modern world. Waldo Martin is the Alexander F. & May T. Morrison Professor of American History & Citizenship at the University of California, Berkeley. [1/2020] [Show ID: 35148]

Spiritual visionary artist Leon Kennedy at 2520 Telegraph Ave
Spiritual visionary artist Leon Kennedy exhibits new works at 2520 Telegraph Ave., Art murmur Oakland.
African-American spiritual visionary Leon Kennedy (b. 1945, Houston, Texas) uses paint, pencil, marker, and mixed media on found objects to create ecstatic visions, memory paintings, and urban life portraits. His works are always about the power and grace of God. Kennedy is featured on several pages of Rosnak's Contemporary American Folk Art (Abbeville, 1996), and in Betty-Carol Sellen's important survey, Self Taught, Outsider, and Folk Art (McFarland & Company, 1999), to name a few.
In 1997, the Smithsonian Institution purchased a bed-sheet by Leon Kennedy, and 200 other artist's works from the renowned Rosenak folk art collection for an estimated $2,000,000.
The 1997 Folk Art Messenger, Vol. 10, No.3, reported that the acquisition makes the Smithsonian American Art Museum the world's preeminent repository for American self-taught art.
It is our desire to see them as part of the history of 20th-century American art, said Chuck Rosenak.
Mentioning Leon Kennedy, the article notes these works were the first American collection exhibited at the Collection de l'Art Brut, Switzerland, which testifies to its quality and uniqueness. The Leon Kennedy masterwork painting now resides at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, while photos of Kennedy and other materials of Kennedy's are available for study at the archive at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

Legacy of American Eugenics: Buck v. Bell in the Supreme Court
This presentation, The Legacy of American Eugenics: Buck v. Bell in the Supreme Court, was given by Dr. Paul A. Lombardo on Thursday, February 9th, 2012, in Kahn Auditorium in the A. Alfred Taubman Biomedical Research Science Building at The University of Michigan. Dr. Lombardo discussed details of the Buck case, and how it became one of the symbolic high points for the eugenic movement in the United States as the keynote address for the opening reception of the Holocaust Memorial Museum Exhibit Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race, hosted by the Taubman Health Sciences Library at the University of Michigan from February 3, 2012 through April 3, 2012.
The Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race exhibit includes a segment on Buck v. Bell, the 1927 United States Supreme Court case that endorsed state laws mandating the eugenic sterilization of feebleminded and socially inadequate people in state institutions. That case and the laws that it validated preceded the 1934 Nazi law for sterilizing the 'hereditarily diseased under which more than 400,000 operations occurred in Nazi Germany.

Ken Burns & Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in conversation with Michel Martin
Documentarian Ken Burns and scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., join together to discuss the prevailing political fault line in the US: race. In this illuminating and cogent exchange, they examine why race is critical to their understanding of America and their work—and how, as a nation, we deal with race today. Their discussion is complemented with clips from Jackie Robinson, Burns' forthcoming epic about the impact and legacy of the first black baseball player to play in the major leagues, and Black America Since MLK: And Still I Rise, Gates' chronicle of the civil rights movement culminating in the election of Obama. (Both films are scheduled to premiere on PBS in 2016.)
Both figures have explored how race is part of the American fabric in their work. Burns’ landmark Emmy Award-winning television series The Civil War and Gates’ unprecedented four-part series African American Lives explore not just the role African-Americans have played throughout our history, but also how race, conceptions of race, and ideas about freedom and independence influence our politics and policies. They trace the historical significance of race from abolitionism to civil rights to the war on poverty—and consider what it means to have an African-American president.
The Emancipation Proclamation 150 Years: Pre and Post (Part 1)
As part of their Documented Rights Exhibit, the National Archives at St. Louis hosted a panel to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation draft.
