In 1919, when black soldiers returned from defending the nation overseas, they were met with increased racial hostility. Many returning from World War I were outspoken against racial discrimination, and violence that continued to plague black communities. #RedSummer100 pic.twitter.com/byRi2HAxIa

They played an active role in defending their communities during Red Summer. Though uncoordinated, when looked at together, these moments in and leading up to 1919 were demonstration of a collective black agency and self-preservation.#RedSummer100 #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory pic.twitter.com/PXQzvWSMtP

Cyntoia Brown was 16 years-old when she was unjustly imprisoned for killing a 43 year-old man forcing her to have sex
She served 15 years out of the 51 years she was sentenced

She is a HERO. God knows how many young girls she protected

Suicide? Like hell. Someone silenced him.
Just saw Peanut and her grandmother off to the Bud Billiken Parade.
It’s a nice day for it👏👏😎😎
The Bud Billiken Parade is the largest parade for African Americans in the country. Created by the Chicago Defender newspaper, it has been a celebration of Black culture, and the sendoff to school for children.
Awesome! I hope they have lots of fun!
Good Morning, Everyone 😄😄😄
