60 years ago this week, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, delivered “I Had a Dream” at a seminal event in American history. The idea of a march of thousands of people united in the search for justice, equality, and equal opportunity percolated in the minds of organizers for decades. Years before Black Americans had been thinking and strategizing.

@Deglassco @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon Thank you for sharing the history of Black Americans desire for . I am thankful for all who were involved in bringing us closer to a more equal, just country. was pivotal. Although legislation was passed guaranteeing equal rights, we still have a long way to go as some, GOP, are trying to take rights away. And there isn’t equal treatment under the law still. Horrible!

@thepoliticalcat @sakhavi @bageera @venitamathias @blackmastodon I found a site with multiple directories to search for Black Owned Businesses, all on the web.

Exactly 75 years ago, President Harry S. Truman repudiated 170 years of officially sanctioned discrimination when he signed Executive Order 9981, calling for desegregation of the U.S. Armed Forces. This event marked the first time a U.S. commander in chief used executive order to implement a civil rights policy, inspiring America to embrace desegregation in the future.

@Deglassco @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon When I joined the military in 1968, it was months after the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed. I had learned some history, knew in WWII, military was segregated but didn’t know the details. Thank you for sharing this. What I thought was weird was off base, Alabama was still segregated as I was from Massachusetts. One of my elementary school teachers was Black, respected. The Civil Rights Act was needed to correct injustices. More needs to be done.
