In 1910, 14% of farmers were Black, owning more than 16 million acres of land — today only 1 in 100 farmers are Black! The documentary “Gaining Ground” is uncovering the long-term effects this had on Black families and their pursuit of generational wealth. fal.cn/3AiyT

Today is a special day in NYC history. On July 14, 1970, Puerto Rican+Black activists—known as the Young Lords—took over Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx. They were fed up w/ disinvestment, racism, substandard healthcare. Working class ppl have always galvanized this city!
