Today is the 58th anniversary of the Watts Uprising, five days of rebellion in response to years of the White power structure’s failure to address police brutality, police misconduct, school segregation, and housing segregation. The uprising ended with 34 people dead and more than 1,000 people injured, most at the hands of law enforcement. Seven years later, Stax Records hosted the Wattstax Music Festival at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to bring hope, healing, and music to the residents of Watts. Reverend Jesse Jackson kicked off the concert, leading the crowd in a chant: “I am somebody.” Footage: WATTSTAX (1973) #watts #wattsrebellion #wattsriots #wattsuprising #blackness

She’s American Artistic Royalty and a true Icon! #blackhistorymonth #leontyneprice #opera #blackness #happyblack #29daysofBlackMusicians

Everyone should learn from Black history. Black prophetic witness doesn’t just call for Black people to be free—it moves us toward universal liberation. Racism degrades *all people.* And until we confront the country’s foundational white supremacy, we will continue to suffer.

#AmericanFiction dissects Blackness in pop culture, and challenges perceiving Blackness from a white point of view. @americanfictionmovie @cordjefferson #Blackness #PopCulture #ToniMorrison #AmericanCulture
