I used to think Will and Tyra wouldve made a cute couple esp because of their height.

But height doesn't make cute couples.

New Jersey doesn’t want Assata Shakur back. The white supremacist imagination wants Assata Shakur back. It has nothing to do with her “killing a cop”. It has nothing to do with justice, something we as citizens rarely get when the system that is operating against Assata also operates against us (‪#‎HandsUpDont___‬? ‪#‎whocantbreatheandwhy‬?) This decades long lust over Assata Shakur’s freedom comes from a nation that had in its place a system that was considered to be impossible to defy being defied. They don’t know how this Black woman not only escaped from their maximum security prison, but also tracelessly made it to Cuba. They want her back like a child wants a toy back that never really belonged to them. They feel entitled to her freedom because she spat in their white supremacist patriarchal faces and made it out alive to the land of one of their biggest enemies. She broke every rule and like petulant children they can’t stand that someone else won. They want her back because without her their headcount of all of us, meaning every US citizen, is incomplete. Her defiance is still a sign to them that others will come after her. They have to make an example out of her even though they never made an example out of themselves for all the atrocities they’ve committed worldwide, on their own soil. Justice…she found justice. They want to take it away.

Lift Every Voice and Sing, sculpture by August Savage commissioned by the World Trade Fair in 1939.

As a black woman artist, Augusta Savage fought for recognition throughout her career. Though given opportunities due to her artistic talents, the lack of funds given to black women and racial segregation impeded her. She felt African art was fetishized and served as the inspiration for the Modern Art movement yet received no attention. 

She is known for the sculpture above as well as busts of Marcus Garvey and W. E. B Du Bois. Lack of funds and attention eventually led Augusta to close her gallery and retire, where she cut herself off from the art world.
