A collection of beautiful Black women having a picnic - a total cottagecore vibe. Be inclusive.

FOUND THE PHOTOGRAPHER: Lynnea Fortes❤️

*like any post, if you find the models, please shoot me a message and i’ll add it - this was found on facebook and was lovely and wanted to share*

**Also, there’s nothing wrong with identifying someone as Black - it is a beautiful thing, they should be recognized as such (you cannot be anti racist without acknowledging someone’s race)**

Bayard Rustin was an openly gay Black man who was Martin Luther King’s right hand man. He planned the Million Man March and was subject to scrutiny for his sexuality and deemed a “deviant” and “pervert”.

Bayard Rustin can be found in nearly every picture of MLK yet he has undoubtedly been erased from history. We have to fix that.

Well then, let’s bring that name back.

Bayard Rustin, openly gay, human rights activist, proud black man.

(the guy on the left in case you wondered)

[gaypriori]

Yeah he was literally the guy who was the head of planning the March on Washington.

If you want to learn more about him, there’s a great documentary on him called Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin

You can watch the full documentary here (until March 31st, 2016)

I did a research project on him, Ella Baker, Claudette Colvin and Stokely Carmichael comparing their contributions to the Civil Rights Movement to the lack of recognition and misrepresentation they received in commonly used high school American History textbooks. All of these people played major roles in the Civil Rights Movement—almost on par with MLK—yet they go largely unnoticed or unfairly pushed aside not only during their time, but even now in classes on American History. These men and women deserve to be remembered.

I would also like to add Jame Baldwin to this list: writer, activist, and openly gay black man:
