"Look at me. I am Black. I am beautiful.” -- Mary McLeod Bethune In 1904, with only $1.50 to her name, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune founded the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls (now, Bethune-Cookman University).

Throughout her life, Dr. Bethune sought to uplift and to buttress the lives of Black Americans through education, organizations, politics, and strong leadership. Her endeavors were recognized by those she served, members of the press, presidents of the United States, a first lady of the United States, and countless others impacted by her works.

You must be a shitty inferior coward when you try to control and deny innocent people their human rights to survive on earth. People who give people any authority over themselves are enslaved, because you would rather fight for your rights to survive instead of allowing anyone to be an authority over you and no free person would allow this.

You meet aggression with aggression and absolute force to maintain your freedom and self respect. You sure don't follow the narratives of your enemies.

Do you think that this is a real photo of a real person? If you said yes, what if I told you that you were wrong and that this image was created on an internet platform called NightCafe.

This online program allows you to create artwork using words that you write into regions called prompts:

You have sliders, controls for changing various functions in the text prompt. So you can do this:
