This has been shared from Phaedra Parks on Facebook:

Fifty years ago, political activists Huey P. Newton & Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party to address police brutality in Oakland, California. As the organization grew, they adopted a womanistic ideology for the consideration of African American women. By 1970 up to 70% of the organization were women. Members such as law professor Kathleen Cleaver and political activist Angela Davis showed people that Black women can be educated and fight for equality alongside their male counterparts. During Sunday’s SuperBowl @beyonce paid homage to these brave women who sacrificed so that people of color could be seen and treated equally. Thank you Beyoncé for being courageous enough to recognize and celebrate the 50th anniversary of this historical movement.

・・・#BlackHistoryMonth #iwokeuplikethis| I matter, Black lives matter. The colour of my skin shouldn’t lessen my importance in the same way that gender shouldn’t lessen someone’s importance. Let’s come together and be unified. #VictoryforuInspiration Victorious Everyday.

・・・#BlackHistoryMonth has officially begun, and with it comes the awe-inspiring story of my Nana and the #Clinton12! Catch the piece on @disneyxd! | This is great. I really enjoy seeing Black History represented on children’s tv especially Disney Channel. It’s comforting to young black boys and girls that they are valid in this society and they are game changers. I believe that black history shouldn’t be solely restricted to a month, it should be celebrated all year round in schools and in society in the same way that normalised text book history is. I believe in creating black history everyday. Let’s become the generation of positive Game Changers. #VictoryforuInspiration Victorious Everyday.
