#BlackHistoryFactĀ - African American Inventor Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner is known for developing the sanitary padĀ Ā
MEFeater MagazineĀ
āShe and her sister were both inventors, creating and patenting inventions for household use. Her sanitary belt wasnāt put into use until 30 years after she invented it because the company rejected her when they found out she was a Black woman.ā https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kenner
- @MythjaeComics
The Forgotten Black Woman Inventor Who Revolutionized Menstrual Pads
Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner was a self-taught inventor who created the sanitary belt and filed five patents in her lifetime.

Pretty sure that generation has been dead for awhile but ok, pretend one thing has something to do with another
The end of Jim Crow laws was in the 1950ā²s. The first black student to attend a formerly all white school was Ruby Bridges in 1960.Ā
Here she is being walked to school under the protection of Federal Marshals because angry white people were ready to harm or kill her.Ā
Here she is in 2010, eight years ago.Ā
The generation that enforced segregation is not dead, fucko. They were our fuckin grandparents, and it was not that goddamn long ago.Ā
Google is free.Ā
Grandparents?!
Iām 31.
My MOM was born the year before school segregation ended.
She was NINE when MLK was shot.
She remembers race riots in her school over school segregation ending in our home state.
My MOTHER lived through this. Sheās 61 years oldāwhich means while her own health is shot, people from her generation will be around for another twenty to thirty years.
1956. This is not colorized. IT WAS SHOT IN COLOR. Look at thatāsegregation was still ongoing in the age of neon lights.
Same exhibit. 1956. Banana splits, poodle skirts, and the ability to get ācoloredā drinking water only from the white folksā backwash. You can see the pipe connecting the white tank to the colored fountain behind the little girl in the light pink dress.
Less than ten years later. Thatās Martin Luther King, Jr. in the middle. Have you ever seen him in a color photograph before? There are many, but for some reason ⦠maybe because black-and-white makes things look old ⦠nobody ever uses them.
Look at the bank logo in the back. Colored squares like that were a thing in the mid-to-late 1960s. The slicked-down hair on the Black girl in front says weāre not yet to the mid-1970s, and since these signs all say āHonor Kingā itās quite likely this is 1969-1970. You know what else was happening in 1969? Not Woodstock, not the moon landing, although both of those things happened. No, something we think of as being much more recent.
THE INTERNET STARTED.
1969 was the launch of ARPANET, which would later become the Internet. BLACK PEOPLE WERE STILL MARCHING FOR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS WHEN THE INTERNET WAS STARTED.
This picture was taken sometime between 1956 and 1958. I donāt have a precise date on it, but the sleeveless sundress says later 1950s, the hair on Orange Plai says this was after Elvis, and the stars on the flag say thatās not a modern 50-star flag, which was first used in 1959. (We had a single year, 1958, with 49 stars.)
Ah yes. It was so long ago. Letās get some more perspective:
Donald Trump was eight years old when school segregation was declared illegal in 1954. He was nineteen when the police beat and shot at peaceful Black protest marchers in Selma, Alabama and twenty-two when MLK was assassinated by the FBI for trying to encourage desegregation.
Hillary Clinton was seven when school segregation was declared, eleven when it went into effect, and eighteen when Selma happened.
Bernie Sanders was thirteen when the integration ruling occurred, 19 when Ruby Bridges started going to a formerly all-white school, and twenty-four when Selma happened. Joe Biden is only a year younger than Bernie.
Elizabeth Warren was eleven when Ruby started her new school, fifteen when Selma happened, eighteen when MLK was shot.
You will notice that all of these people are running for President, or were rumored to be running for President, this year. Theyāre not just alive, theyāre thriving. And they were all alive for desegregationāin fact Trump, Clinton, and Sanders were all old enough to either endorse or oppose what happened at Selma.
But letās keep looking, because theyāre probably outliers, right?
Hm. Three of MLKās children are still alive. Theyāre between 56 and 62 years old. (His elder daughter died of unknown causes; her family suspects an undiagnosed heart condition.) In fact one of his siblings is still alive, and she was born before him! Sheās 96.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Yeah, she was 21 when school integration was made the law of the land. And sheās still serving on the Supreme Court.
But tell me again how long ago it was.
Iām sure the people from those generations are all dead, after all.
my father was graduated from high school when the civil rights act was passed and was in his last semester of college when MLK was killed. i was born in the 2000s
people who remember segregation are very well alive
cassie must give real good hugs huh

A Twitter Drama in 3 acts
Notice how Shan Yu doesnāt even question it or make a comment about āBUT YOUāRE A GIRLā he just instantly goes into a āIāLL TEACH YOU TO KILL MY MEN AND STEAL MY VICTORYā rage and I think about this a lot sometimes
((Well that might have to do with the fact that heās a Hun. Ā Women among the Huns had higher status than their Chinese counterparts and even some of their own men. Women were free to hunt and fight along side of the men, could choose their own husbands and divorce him if she choose to. There were even records of clans being led by women leaders. So for Shan Yu Mulan is just another soldier))
thank you, history side of tumblr.
He also might not have been able to see very well, due to whatever horrible disease has taken hold in his eyeballs.
Pretty serious Wilsonās Disease judging by the copper buildup in in irises, and apparent melanocytosis localized to his sclera.
Thank you medical side of tumblr
IāVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER
Itās always mandatory to reblog this whenever it appears
Thank you for the post, quality side of tumblr.
Thank you good side of tumblr

I say this without a shred of irony:
pageant moms are abusive monsters.
trump got impeached, critics want to bawl their eyes out after watching cats movie, star wars fandom is in shambles after tros release, entire india is protesting against citizenship law, camila cabello's half assed apology for being anti black, jk rowling outed herself as a terf. this is too much info for me to process.
