During the 1940s it was rare for a black person to have control over large amounts of land. In 1944, a group of white men brutally lynched Rev. Isaac Simmons, a Black minister & farmer, so they could steal his land in Amite County, Mississippi which was over 270 acres A THREAD!

Happy Birthday to Patrice Lumumba, the first legally elected prime minister of D.R Congo. He was assassinated in 1961 following a military coup supported by U.S.A & Belgian imperialism which was admitted by the State Dept in 2013 authorized by president Eisenhower. A THREAD

Self-taught, child prodigy piano player, Sugar Chile Robinson. —Born on December 28, 1938, Sugar Chile Robinson as he was widely known proved to be a child prodigy emerging as a self-taught piano player at a year and half old. The jazz pianist and singer played for President Truman in 1946 at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, becoming the first African-American to be invited to the presidential home at a mere age of seven. He was one of the first African-American child stars to be a household name. While still a kid, he had a record, billboard chart, sports and a gig with the Count Basie Orchestra as well as movie appearances even when African-Americans were few on the big screen. He began touring major theaters, setting box office records in Detroit and California. In 1949 he was given special permission to join the American Federation of Musicians and record his first releases on Capitol Records, “Numbers Boogie” and “Caldonia”, both reaching the Billboard R&B chart. In 1950, he toured and appeared on television with Count Basie and in a short film ‘Sugar Chile’ Robinson, Billie Holiday, Count Basie and His Sextet. The following year, he toured the UK, appearing at the London Palladium. However, by the 1950s, Robinson returned to school and his fame faded. He stopped recording in 1952. Later he said: “I wanted to go to school… I wanted some school background in me and I asked my Dad if I could stop, and I went to school because I honestly wanted my college diploma.” Having given up his musical career entirely, he focused on his academic studies earning a degree in history from Olivet College and one in psychology from the Detroit Institute of Technology. In the 1960s, he worked for WGPR-TV, and also helped set up small record labels in Detroit and opened a recording studio. The Detroit, Michigan native’s legacy is enduring but his decision to drop music came at a great cost. The blues singer in 2016 got invited to the White House by former president Barack Obama to be part of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after 70 years. On how tough life got, his small apartment shared with a niece had no beds and a piano. They had been sleeping on blow up beds for the past five years after a household fire destroyed his belongings. In 2017, Music Maker Relief Foundation came to the star’s aid putting him on the monthly sustenance program, sending beds and a piano to his residence while resolving the eviction action he faced. Questions abound bordering on royalties and if he made good money from his music or if he squandered the wealth he made? There’s also talk of how he failed to keep a balance rejecting music for so long yet the college degree he so craved for not securing him a better life. Whatever the outcome, Frank Isaac Robinson in 2016 was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame. Sugar Chile Robinson will be celebrating his 84th Birthday on December 28th 2022—

Happy 76th birthday to Revolutionary Assata Shakur! In 1979, she escaped from U.S prison later received asylum in Cuba. “I saw this as a necessary step, not only because I was innocent..but because I knew that in the racist legal system, I would receive no justice” A THREAD

On this day in 1918, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, a revolutionary leader, was born. Gone but not forgotten. —Nelson Mandela was a revolutionary leader of South Africa who stood against the apartheid regime in his country. Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918, into a royal family of Xhosa-speaking Thembu tribe in the South African village of Mvezo in the district of Qunu near Umtata, Transkei (now known as Eastern Cape). Many south Africans called him Madiba. He was a global advocate for human rights. He was a member of the African National Congress (ANC) party beginning in the 1940s, he was the leader of both peaceful and arm protests against the white minority in the racially divided South Africa. His anti-apartheid movements landed him in prison for nearly three decades and this made him the face of anti-apartheid movements both within his country and internationally. He was released in 1990 and he participated in the eradication of apartheid for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and in 1994 he became the first black president of South Africa, forming a multiethnic government to oversee the country's transition. After spending just one term in office, he retired from politics in 1999 and remained a devoted champion for peace and social justice in his nation and around the world until he died in 2013 at the age of 95.—
