What's wrong with you people?
If any random white guy can be Jesus then Lupita Nyongo can be Helen of Troy!
Her name was Rosa Lee Ingram. She was a Black sharecropper in Georgia. When a white neighbor attacked her and her sons, she fought back. And the state of Georgia sentenced her to death for it. 🔥
It was 1947. Her neighbor came onto her land, violent and threatening. Rosa Lee and two of her sons defended themselves. He died. Within weeks, all three of them were convicted of murder and sentenced to death by an all-white jury that deliberated for less than 30 minutes.
The sentence was later commuted to life in prison. Rosa Lee spent 12 years behind bars for the crime of protecting her children.
Her case drew international attention. The Civil Rights Congress, Paul Robeson, and activists across the world demanded her release. The United Nations received a petition on her behalf signed by thousands.
She was finally released in 1959. She never received an apology. She never received justice. She received her freedom 12 years late, and history gave her silence.
Her name belongs in every conversation about the right of Black women to defend their own lives. Share this so her name is never forgotten. 💛

🏡 Black History Month the Homestead Act Edition
The Homestead Act: How America Gave Away Land But Not to Black People
When people talk about “homesteading” in America, they often paint it as a fair, open opportunity free land for anyone willing to work it.
That story is incomplete.
📜 The Homestead Act of 1862
The original Homestead Act promised:
160 acres of federal land
To anyone who was:
A citizen or
An intending citizen
Over 21
Willing to live on and improve the land for five years
Between 1862 and 1934, the U.S. government gave away over 270 million acres of land nearly 10% of all U.S. land through this act.
⚠️ Here’s the truth most textbooks skip
At the time the Homestead Act passed:
Enslaved Black people were not citizens
Free Black people were not recognized as full citizens
Citizenship for Black Americans did not exist in law until the 14th Amendment in 1868
That means:
➡️ Millions of acres were distributed before Black people were legally eligible to apply
➡️ White immigrants could qualify as “intending citizens”
➡️ Black Americans even those born on U.S. soil could not
So while white families were being handed land that would become:
Family farms
Ranches
Generational wealth
Inherited property
Black families were still enslaved or newly freed with no land, no compensation, and no legal status.
This is one of the largest wealth transfers in American history, and Black people were explicitly excluded.
🌾 “But What About After Slavery?” The Southern Homestead Act of 1866
After the Civil War, the government attempted a partial correction with the Southern Homestead Act of 1866, which theoretically opened land to:
Freedmen (formerly enslaved Black people)
Poor whites
But here’s what actually happened:
❌ Why It Failed Black Farmers
The land offered was mostly poor-quality, swampy, or remote
There was no money, tools, seed, or livestock assistance
Application processes were complex and hostile
Violence, intimidation, and legal manipulation blocked access
Many Black applicants were cheated, denied, or forced off the land
Meanwhile:
White land speculators waited out the law
After it expired, they bought up the same land cheaply
White settlers walked away with ownership Black farmers were denied
In practice, the Southern Homestead Act benefited whites far more than Black freedpeople, despite its stated intent.
📉 The Long-Term Impact: Why This Still Affects Homesteaders Today
This exclusion explains why:
White families often trace land ownership back 4–6 generations
Black families were forced into:
Sharecropping
Tenant farming
Wage labor on land they once worked for free
Black wealth never had a land-based foundation
Land = leverage.
Without land, Black farmers:
Couldn’t borrow against property
Couldn’t pass down secure inheritance
Couldn’t access capital at the same scale
Were more vulnerable to foreclosure and land theft
This is why modern Black homesteaders often start from zero, while others inherit acreage, equipment, and credit accounts.

📉 The Long-Term Impact: Why This Still Affects Homesteaders Today
🌱 Modern Homesteading Is Not a Trend It’s a Reclamation.
When Black people homestead today raising chickens, growing food, stewarding land it’s not nostalgia.
It’s:
Reclaiming what was denied
Rebuilding what was stolen
Continuing what ancestors were legally blocked from finishing
The barriers Black farmers face today — funding gaps, land access, program discrimination — are not new.
They are the echo of exclusion written into federal law from the beginning.
✊🏽 Black History Month Truth
The Homestead Act created America’s white agrarian middle class.
Black Americans were excluded not because they didn’t farm,
but because they were not considered citizens worthy of ownership.
Understanding this changes how we talk about:

Nehemiah 8:10
He said to them, "Go and eat delicacies and drink sweet drinks and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared. For this day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."
The Third Eye or Pineal Gland is located in the middle of the brain, at the same level as the eyes. Its connection with the third eye chakra or Ajna in the Hindu system has long been investigated by yogic traditions and modern metaphysics alike. They view this gland as a possible seat of the soul and its development, a source for mystical experiences and extrasensory perception or psychic abilities.
This gland is usually considered to be in charge of producing melatonin and regulating our sleep cycle and our sexual maturation. The ways it functions is closely connected to the cycles of light and darkness.
Other Third Eye exercises include:
1. Go outside and get lots of natural light.
2. Eat foods or supplements that support a healthy activity of the pineal gland (and counter its calcification), such as iodine, chlorella, apple cider, Tamarind fruit (as it helps remove excess of fluoride involved in decreased pineal activity).
3. Meditate; meditation balances the activity of the nervous system and stimulates parts of the brain that help the pineal gland.
4. Spend time in complete darkness, as it stimulates a healthy activity in the gland and production of its associated hormones.
