Meet Ethel Waters (1896-1977), Vocalist / Actress Legendary Ethel Waters was the second African-American to be nominated for an Academy award. The first African American to star in her own television show. She became the first African American woman to be nominated for a primetime Emmy. Waters was one of the highest paid actresses on Broadway, independent of her race. She’s also well-known for her music — the vocalist started out singing the blues and would go on to perform on Broadway and even do pop music. Despite the stigma, Waters lived with her romantic partner Ethel Williams during the 1920s. Her performances and music garnered a large lesbian and gay following. 🎥 Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum - #womenshistorymonth #blacklesbians #ourhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsKvmBOakR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mary Fields aka Stagecoach Mary. 1832-1914. You’ve heard of Belle Starr, Calamity Jane, and Annie Oakley but not Stagecoach Mary. In 1895 at the age of SIXTY (60) Mary Fields began employment as a  Star Route Carrier which used a stagecoach to deliver mail in the unforgiving weather and rocky terrain of Montana. This made her the first African-American woman to work for the U.S. Postal Service. Mary didn’t play any games, she carried multiple firearms, most notably a .38 Smith & Wesson. It’s funny that whenever she was portrayed in film, certain people would start that “PC” this and “PC” that nonsense. Sorry, she was an actual historical person… and she was BLACK! It's up to US to learn OURstory not HIStory!

“Culture is not just a legacy inherited, it is also a vision that is accepted.”

- Mouloud Mammeri (Kabyle writer, anthropologist and linguist).

The meaning behind the colors are as follows:

Blue (amidad) represents the Mediterranean Sea, whose shores have been occupied by the Imazighen (plural form of “Amazigh” referring to the Berber people) for millenaries.

Green (azegzaw) represents the green land of North Africa, which has been cultivated by the Imazighen since the Prehistoric times.

Yellow (awragh) represents the Desert, primarily. However, we also like to describe it as the color of joy and gold.

Finally, the ⵣ (ezza) letter is situated at the center of the word Amazigh. The latter means "free man". WE ARE THE FREE PEOPLE.

Apesar da saudade, apesar do amor, naquele dia algo se quebrou e foi então que você veio dizendo que foi embora e tentou me esquecer a todo custo e parecia ter custado caro, viajou, se divertiu e se envolveu com alguém... já imaginava, era um fato premeditado. Como eu disse, apesar da saudade, apesar do amor eu tive que me juntar, me recriar, também viajei, também me diverti e talvez também tenha errado em procurar por aí o que sabia que não poderia achar. Você me contou tudo e tudo bem estávamos afastados, de novo repito algo tinha quebrado e fui sincera também, me enrolei com alguns, mas eram comuns e que nada eu senti, pois não me envolvi. Eu falei "tudo que quero é recomeçar e deixar tudo pra lá", mas em choque você ficou, não tinha reação e o silêncio dominou.

Our history.
