I was honored to make a little history at my dear friend George Edward Brown's, @heroes_at_home Barbershop. George isn't just a barbershop owner. He's an amazing community activist who has been honored by many media outlets and community organizations for his service in the community. But one thing that has never happened at Heroes was they'd never had a set of triplets to visit them! I took my friend Tina's little fellas, Brice, Julian and Keenan there to get their Thanksgiving cuts. They were the perfect gentlemen, and received compliments from all the staff and patrons. They made me and their parents proud! #3IsAMagicNumber #BeAMentor #TheVillage https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqq5m8FF4L4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=av8kq4df1pib

#TBT Okay, so the year was 1990. For those of you too young to know, Black folks didn't always have an open channel to having their music videos played on television. We had Donnie Simpson, and the iconic Video Soul on BET. I had released my 'Ordinary Story' album, (yes, album!), for Virgin Records, to some critical success, but not much commercially. Then came the call that I would be "on the couch" with Donnie Simpson to debut the video to the second single, "Poor Elaine". This little Flint born, South Central L.A. raised kid had made it!!! And because of God's favor, I'm still makin' it! #OrdinaryStory #PoorElaine #VirginRecords #KippLife https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFfZo4lYYl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1553ifa0eo3pw

On a cold January day more than a century ago, U.S. troops massacred nearly 200 Piikani people on a Montana river bank. Most were women, children and old folks.

“It’s hard to imagine,” Chief Stanley Charles Grier of the Piikani Nation in Alberta, Canada said.

The people killed were his ancestors and accounts of the massacre are brutal. Soldiers killed a mother breastfeeding her baby. They shot sick people hiding under blankets.

“Survivors were basically executed by axes,” Grier says. “That’s pretty barbaric.”

The man who helped perpetrate this massacre was Army Lt. Gustavus Doane. He later went on to explore parts of Yellowstone and his compatriots named Mount Doane after him. The name stuck, and Grier wants to change it.

“Lieutenant Doane led that attack and fully implemented the massacre,” he says. “We feel that’s an atrocity to humanity and it’s essentially a war crime.”

Massacres like this were a major part of what some historians call a forgotten genocide during the colonization and settlement of the American West. The perpetrators of these massacres were sometimes honored with mountains, valleys and towns.
