🚨THIS SHOULD BE NATIONWIDE: Tennessee lawmakers just passed a new bill allowing deadly force to defend one’s own property. This is absolutely necessary and will serve as a deterrent to criminals who have been coddled by liberal courts and soft-on-crime judges.

Lynch in America. It was a community affair.. They would cut up the body parts and sell them as souvenirs.. There are many white families still have black bodies parts in their homes today.. it was barbaric. This book called 100 years of lynching should get the book and read it.

They won’t teach you in school that many Black American towns, businesses, banks, schools, people, and generational wealth created immediately after slavery were destroyed by white people.

Dr. Gladys West, the Black mathematician whose brilliance made GPS possible, has passed at 95. Born on a Dinwiddie County farm during the Great Depression, she overcame segregation to become a scientist and map the world—literally. May we never forget her legacy or the path she paved for generations of mathematicians.

AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY
AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY@AfricanArchives·
In 1895, Wobogo, the Moro Naba or King of the Mosi (in modern Burkina Faso) told the French Captain Destenave: "I know the whites wish to kill me in order to take my country, and yet you claim that they will help me to organize my country. But I find my country good just as it is. I have no need of them. I know what is necessary for me and what I want: I have my own merchants: also, consider yourself fortunate that I do not order your head to be cut off. Go away now, and above all, never come back." A majority of African authorities and leaders were vehemently opposed to establishment of colonies and expressed their determination to maintain the status quo and, above all, to retain their sovereignty and independence. In 1891, when the British offered protection to Prempeh I of Asante in the Gold Coast (now Republic of Ghana), he replied: "The suggestion that Asante in its present state should come and enjoy the protection of Her Majesty the Queen and Empress of India I may say is a matter of very serious consideration, and which I am happy to say we have arrived at this conclusion, that my kingdom of Asante will never commit itself to any such policy. Asante must remain as of old at the same time to remain friendly with all white men.

On this day in 1931, a black man named Raymond Gunn was seized by a mob of over 2,000 white men, women, and children, placed on the roof of the local white schoolhouse, and burned alive in a public spectacle lynching meant to terrorize the entire black community in Maryville, Missouri. Days before, a white school teacher had been found murdered and suspicion fell on Gunn, who was arrested. Following Gunn’s arrest, police took Gunn to jail in a neighboring county due to threats of lynching. On the morning of Gunn’s arraignment, a mob of almost 2,000 white men, women, and children gathered outside the courthouse. Despite the previous attacks and threats of violence, the local sheriff did not request assistance from the National Guard. With little resistance from local law enforcement, and 60 members of the National Guard at ease in an armory one block from the courthouse, Gunn was seized by the white mob and marched four miles down the road to the white schoolhouse. The mob chained Gunn to the rooftop of the building, doused the building in gasoline, and burned him alive as the mob of people watched and celebrated. This public spectacle lynching was meant to terrorize the black community of Maryville. Southern lynching was not only intended to impose “popular justice” or retaliation for a specific crime. Rather, these lynchings were meant to send a broader message of domination and to instill fear within the entire black community. In the days following Gunn’s lynching, more than 20% of Maryville's black population fled the town in fear. Despite investigations initiated by state officials, no one was ever arrested or convicted of any crime related to the lynching of Raymond Gunn.
