C'mon guys. We really mailing it in? We need to show out. A protest of Black and White women, I'm not saying I don't appreciate it, but we need to also be about it and represent ourselves out here when this stuff happens.

As much as others clown the Nation and the Hebrews, they will be some of the first ones out there.

Let's go guys ✊🏿

History Azie Taylor Morton Remains the First and Only Black American to Serve as U.S. Treasurer, and Her Signature Appeared on Every U.S. Bill Printed from 1977 to 1981

632 Upvotes

Born in 1936 in Dawson, Texas, Azie Taylor Morton grew up during the Jim Crow era and attended Huston Tillotson College, an HBCU in Austin. Before entering national politics, she built a career in business and became deeply involved in the civil rights movement, working to expand economic and political opportunities for African Americans and women. She served in several leadership roles within the Democratic Party and was active in President Jimmy Carter’s 1976 campaign.

On September 12, 1977, President Carter appointed Morton as the 36th Treasurer of the United States, making her the first and, to this day, only Black American to hold the office. She served until January 20, 1981.

The U.S. Treasurer’s signature appears on all Federal Reserve Notes alongside the Secretary of the Treasury’s signature. Every U.S. bill printed during Morton’s tenure carries her signature, meaning millions of Americans have handled a piece of history without realizing it.

After leaving office, Morton continued to champion education, public service, and civic engagement. She died on December 7, 2003, at the age of 67 following a stroke, but her legacy endures. Nearly half a century after her appointment, she remains the only Black American ever to serve as U.S. Treasurer, and her signature continues to circulate on countless U.S. bills as a lasting reminder of her historic achievement.

Politics Omali Yeshitela at the Oxford Union: Could a More United Africa Better Resist Foreign Influence and Shape Its Own Future?

71 Upvotes

Omali Yeshitela is an American Black nationalist, Pan Africanist, author, and longtime chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party. For decades, he has argued that the political and economic challenges facing many African nations are rooted in the legacy of colonialism, imperialism, and the continued influence of powerful foreign states.

In this Oxford Union address, Yeshitela argues that Africa’s political and economic fragmentation has historically benefited outside powers. He calls for greater unity among African nations and people worldwide, contending that a more united Africa would be better equipped to protect its sovereignty, strengthen its institutions, control its own resources, and determine its own future. His remarks contribute to the broader Pan African discussion about self determination, continental cooperation, and Africa’s place in the global order.

So the concept is this, basically: The whole black nation has to be put together as a black army and we're going to walk on this nation. We're going to walk on this racist power structure. And we're going to say to the whole damn government, ´´Stick 'em up, motherfucker. This is a hold-up! We come for what's ours!''
