Black America Rewind: 1950s (Patreon)
Content
Our history will not be erased. In this near-weekly series, we'll focus on important Black American history from the 1920s to the 1990s. Full posts are available here, but you can follow along with the abridged versions on Instagram, too.
Despite the continuation of American racism, the 1950s shone with Rock n Roll, endless possibilities, bright new opportunities, and important works of Black culture. Because of heartbreaking tragedies and ongoing racial discrimination, new ideas and strategies emerged to catalyze the Civil Rights Movement. Since we had first been kidnapped and brought to this country, never before had we had so many privileges-- and so much to lose. Black Americans would never go back to the meek subservience that White America demanded before World War II.
This content is easier to format on my website, and is available in full here. However, the sources are exclusively available to Patreon members below.
