Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. The earliest known took place in Charleston, South Carolina on May 1, 1865, when formerly enslaved African Americans honored Union soldiers who died fighting for their freedom. They reburied the soldiers (MORE RESPECTFULLY), held a procession, & decorated their graves with flowers, helping establish a tradition that would later become Memorial Day. It’s an important chapter of American history that deserves to be remembered, but was conveniently suppressed & omitted from mainstream history books. 📚

Battle of Bamber BridgeJun 24, 1943 – Jun 25, 1943
On this day in 1943 black American soldiers faced off with white American Military police during World War II on British soil. Yes you read correctly black American soldiers had to fight their own white American soldiers, while in England, where they were fighting for the world.
Why? Because the English town of Bamber Bridge in Lancashire was not segregated so they treated the black soldiers like all other races, aka blacks were free to eat, drink anywhere, BUT back in America segregation of blacks and whites still existed. So essentially the American army went to someone else’s country and demanded they adopted America’s racist practices
So when the American Military police found out that their own black American soldiers were drinking at the same pubs as white people they went in to arrest them. The people in the town got mad about the treatment of the black soldiers and decided to then turn their pubs into “BLACKS ONLY DRINKING PUBS” the very opposite of what was taking place in America with their WHITES ONLY businesses
.Of course this pissed off the American military so guns went blazing, and when word spread back at camp that black soldiers had been shot, scores of men formed a crowd, some carrying rifles and by midnight more American military police arrived with a machine gun-equipped vehicle, so the black soldiers had no choice but to get rifles from British stores while others barricaded themselves back on base, so now it was American white soldiers versus American black soldiers. This lead to the death of one soldier, injury of 7, and 32 convictions.
Back in America the battle was hushed up because they didn’t want the country to find out that they were fighting their own soldiers which would anger the black population and weaken the morale in the country.Y
u may read about the ill treatment of black American soldiers by their own army in the book FORGOTTEN.
A brilliant and unforgettable speech from a legendary voice.💭
We can't civilize the uncivilized, we have our own problems and we don't need to be concerned about people who can't stand the sight of us.

The March on Washington. Washington, DC, USA. 1963. Leonard Freed
August 28, 1963 was a historical day in America. More than 250,000 people gathered at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to mount a peaceful protest demanding equal rights for African Americans. The march called for the desegregation of public schools, protection of the right to vote, and a federal program to train and place unemployed workers. This historic demonstration ultimately led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and became the iconic expression of social protest that inspired the women’s rights movement, as well as rights for the disabled, and serves to this day as a blueprint for democratic action.
