A great movie to see about the Tuskogee Airmen is Red Tails.  It follows their time in World War II.  You see the bravery and discrimination they faced daily.  George Lucas, the director of Star Wars, heard their story and had to tell it.  But not one movie studio green lit it.  So he spent $100 million of his own money to tell the story.

This Day in Black History

 

On February 18, 1865, Rebel troops abandoned the city of Charleston, South Carolina. Some of the first Union troops to enter the city included members of the 21st U.S.C.T. (United States Colored Troops).

I miss how he could laugh at himself!

Happy Black History Month

 

A great way to start Black History Month is with the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing..."  This is the anthem for Black History Month.  NFL plays it every year at the Super Bowl.  So here is Alicia Keys singing it for the NFL.  

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Marian Anderson

On Easter Sunday 1939 Marian Anderson sang at the Lincoln Memorial in D.C.  She was the BEST singer in the world and the Daughter's of yhe American Revolution denied her singing at their venue.  So members in the government organized a singing at the Lincoln Memorial.

Happy MLK Day 2026!

 

Since 1986 this country has recognized the unbelievable contributions of ONE man - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  He was non violent, held fast to the idea of using LOVE and not HATE, and fought for Aftrican Americans to have equal rights in this country.  He inspired the WORLD, and on April 4, 1968 he was assassinated in Memphis.  The world lost a bright light, but is remembered every year.  

If you have never watched the whole I have a dream speech - You SHOULD!  We get a day off from school!  Here it is:

Bosses of the Senate Political Cartoon

 This cartoon was created in the Gilded Age to show the people that Congress and the President do not have the power - big business does!
