In the late 19th century, Wilmington, NC had a thriving Black middle class & even some Black elected officials.
But in 1898, a mob of white supremacists overthrew the government, killing nearly 60 Black men.
This is the subject of @davidzucchino's new book and he joins at 10.

Los Angeles has nearly 200 cannabis dispensaries. Only six are Black-owned.
The city's new program to diversify the industry has instead been devastating Black entrepreneurs, denying them licenses and throwing them into debt. THREAD:

"Ask any Mexican, any Puerto Rican, any Black man, any poor person - ask the wretched how they fare in the halls of justice, and then you will know, not whether or not the country is just, but whether or not it has any love for justice, or any concept of it." ~James Baldwin #BHM pic.twitter.com/fCPteEPRIo

#Election2020 began yesterday with a fitting ironic foreshadow: Yesterday, literally on the 150th anniversary of the #FifteenthAmendment , in the first of two virtual #WhitePrimary states, Iowans fell victim to a hint of what voting Africans in America have suffered since 1870.

Just like the 2nd amendment was designed for a time when people had muskets and not assault rifles, maybe a country this size shouldn’t have an electoral process that worked better when America had 13 colonies.

Du Bois figured out after Atlanta Riot of 1906 that American race hatred isn’t affected by facts. #Trump ‘s ignorance is an essential part of his brand. Not knowing where Kansas City plays football isn’t a deficit for his Know-Nothing Klavern. It’s part of their tribal identity.

Happy 150th birthday to the #15thAmendment!
Feb. 3 is now recognized as its ratification date. But back in 1870, it wasn’t proclaimed part of the Constitution for another 8 weeks.
Therein lies not a mere technicality, but an important truth about Reconstruction.
So, a thread:

#tdih 1870, 15th Amendment ratified. However, promise of 3rd Reconstruction amendment was blocked for almost a century through use of poll taxes, violence, & more — and recently by voter ID laws, felon disenfranchisement, & other voter suppression tactics. zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/15th…

For more than 100 years, Mississippi State Penitentiary has been the site of forced labor, where incarcerated men still work in the fields. In recent weeks, videos from contraband phones exposed rat-infested cells and graphic evidence of medical neglect. interc.pt/31kKRib
