Friends, my history tidbit today is about REDLINING. One of the multiple programs a newly-elected Franklin D. Roosevelt established to stimulate the economy after the Great Depression offered home-buying aid for Americansābut only white Americans. The Federal Housing Administration, operated through the New Dealās National Housing Act of 1934, promoted homeownership by providing federal backing of loansāguaranteeing mortgages. But from its inception, the FHA limited assistance to prospective white buyers. āThe FHA had a manual which explicitly said that it was risky to make mortgage loans in predominantly Black areas,ā explains Richard D. Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation who has written about housing segregation in the United States. āAnd so as a result, the federal subsidy for home ownership went almost entirely to white people.ā The assistance program not only limited recipients to white Americans, it established and then reinforced housing segregation in the United States, effectively drawing lines between white and Black neighborhoods that would persist for generations. For example, in 1940, the FHA denied insurance to a private builder in Detroit because he intended to construct a housing development near a predominantly Black neighborhood. The FHA only wanted to insure houses in white neighborhoods.

Thank this guy for candy, basically. Norbert Rillieux, a mid-19th century engineer of African American descent, was sent by his father to Paris at the age of 23. Not only did he become the youngest engineer professor in Paris, he also invented an evaporating system to be used in making sugar. āHe came back to North America and he went from one plantation to another, teaching them how to use the evaporation system,ā said Benjamin. āAnd that system is still in use today.ā The first commercial candy in the U.S. premiered in 1806 and is still made the same way! https://www.instagram.com/p/CafhBc5p8QQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
Ann Lowe was the first African-American to become a renowned fashion designer. From the 1920s to the 1960s, Loweās unique designs were worn by high society women. Lowe ultimately designed one of the most famous wedding dresses in history: the ivory silk taffeta bridal gown worn by Jacqueline Bouvier when she married John F. Kennedy in 1953. Unfortunately, Lowe never received the deserved credit from neither the press nor the First Lady herself because of her race. In 1968, however, Lowe opened her store, Ann Lowe Originals, on Madison Avenue and, today, her work is exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. ā¤ļøš¤š #BlackHistoryMonth ā¤ļøš¤š SOURCE: Fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu & https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/black-designers-fashion-history-virgil-abloh-telfar-clemens https://www.instagram.com/p/CacafyprWsx/?utm_medium=tumblr
Printed in 1866, Malinda Russellās "A Domestic Cookbook: Containing a Careful Selection of Useful Receipts for the Kitchen" is the first complete African-American cookbook. Its 39 pages of 250 brief recipes for food and home remediesĀ read like a manual for people living well in another time. For Russell, a free woman of color descended from a grandmother who was an emancipated slave, it literally was a survival manual that generated income. It documents her resilience, business savvy and confidence. She wrote that her book would be ābenefitting the public as well as myself. I know my book will sell well where I have cooked.ā Side Note: There is a recipe for her Washington Cake at the link noted below.

Dr. Augustus Nathaniel Lushington is believed to be the first Black person to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in the United States. Before he earned his DVM, Augustus went to teacher-training school in 1875 and worked at Trinidadian classrooms for several years and was promoted to the rank of principal. However, he left for Venezuela, where he worked as a clerk in the town of La Guayra for a British-owned railroad. After three years, Lushington went back to Trinidad but found that opportunities were insufficient in the island In 1889, he left Trinidad again for the United States, looking for broad and various labor markets. He landed in New York, where he set off for Binghamton, New York. In 1890, he met his Antiguan wife, Elizabeth Gavino Hubert. Her west Indian friends helped Augustus enroll in Cornell University to study Agriculture. He graduated with a degree in Agriculture in 1894. He then continued his education at the University of Pennsylvania veterinary school and finished the program in three years. When he graduated he was the only African American to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania. When students walk into the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the first thing they see is a portrait of Lushington. ā¤ļøš¤š #BlackHistoryMonth ā¤ļøš¤š SOURCES: American Veterinary Medicine Association, Wikipedia, and The Historical Marker Database (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXglITL7mT/?utm_medium=tumblr
Black Queer Women and the Harlem Renaissance There is no telling of the Harlem Renaissance without the stories of the Black queer women whose literature, art, music and presence undergirded the cultural explosion of the time. While the list of Black queer women of this era (some of whom would probably identify as trans men today) is as strikingly varied as it is long, women like Zora Neale Hurston, Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker, Gladys Bentley and Moms Mabley did not necessarily hide their same-gender attractions. However, race, not necessarily their gender or sexuality, was often the focal point of their work. This generation of women also provide some of the earliest examples of transgressive gender performances by women in Black American history. Both Moms Mabley and Gladys Bentley were regularly photographed wearing menās clothing -- an arrestable offense at the time.

THE FIRST ORGANIZED BLACK DENOMINATION IN THE U.S. Born enslaved in 1760 in Philadelphia, Richard Allen purchased his freedom at age 21. He joined the Methodist church and for several years traveled and preached from New York to South Carolina. Returning to Philadelphia, he joined St. Georgeās Methodist Episcopal Church to serve as preacher to its black members. In 1793, responding to increased discrimination by white church leaders, Allen left St. Georgeās with other black members to form the first black Methodist church, named Bethel. Over two decades later, in 1816, Allen led the formation of the first organized black denomination in the United States, the African Methodist Episcopal (A. M. E.) Church.
