1968 TV really tried to put Black America in two boxes:

✝️ “Black Christian” = pray, march, forgive, vote

✊🏾 “Black Revolutionary” = organize, resist, demand, disrupt

But here’s the part folks miss: both were responding to the same crisis—racism, police violence, and a system that wasn’t built to hear us unless we got LOUD.

Public TV had moments where the mask slipped panels got so tense they cut mics. Meanwhile, primetime pushed “safe” representation to make America comfortable.

Not because we were divided for fun…

but because the question was urgent:

Do we change the system with moral pressure…

or do we change it by building power it can’t ignore?

And honestly? A lot of us still arguing the 1968 playbook in 2026 just with better cameras and worse comment sections. 😮‍💨📺

Question: Which lane do you think history rewarded more church-centered civil rights or revolutionary Black Power… or was it the combination that moved the needle?

Black History Month

A member of the Harlem Hellfighters (369th Infantry Regiment) poses for the camera while holding a puppy he saved during World War 1, 1918.

The Harlem Hellfighters was a regiment made up of decorated Black soldiers who fought as part of the French army because the U.S. did not allow Black soldiers to fight alongside white soldiers. The French accepted the Harlem Hellfighters with open arms and did not racially segregate them.

During World War 1, they fought on the front lines for 191 days, longer than any other American unit. And as a result, suffered the most casualties of any American regiment—losing approximately 1,500 men. Despite the heavy death toll and the poor replacement system, the Harlem Hellfighters never lost a trench or a foot of ground to the enemy; none of them became prisoners of war. Not only were they one of the most successful regiments of World War 1, but they also helped bring Jazz to France.

Upon returning home, the Harlem Hellfighters received a welcome parade in New York City; a privilege that was denied to them before they had left for war. However, the celebrations were short lived as the summer of 1919 became known as the Red Summer, in which the country saw some of the worst racial violence since the Civil War.

The Harlem Hellfighters who dreamed of returning home to a place that would finally treat them with respect and as equal human beings, quickly realized that nothing had changed at all.

Virginia’s Central LUNATIC ASYLUM for COLORED INSANE in 1870, patient Georgiana Page is described as a “USELESS OLD HARLOT,” which was the FIRST hospital of its kind in the world, the first mental institution founded solely for the care of BLACK women who watch their children taken and sold!!! As any woman would, a slave would become severely depressed, suicidal, and mentally insane after her baby was snatched from her arms and sold to another plantation owner or murdered, and/or watching her father, mother, brother, sister, grandparents be hung from a tree, burned to ashes, whipped to death, dragged by horse and carriage; yet still, no apology, no reparations, no nothing. Want to talk about torture, neglect, poverty, and horrid conditions? Slavery did not end with the Emancipation Proclamation, nor did the suffering. Slavery syndrome and cultural trauma did not end there; it had only begun."

anyone else ever wish they could lie down harder? Like, I'm already horizontal, but I need more horizontal. I need to be absorbed by the floor. I think that would fix me

“To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread.”
