Did You Know... with Robert Green and Black Aviators Historian Guy E. Franklin Emory Conrad Malick In 2004, Pennsylvania native Mary Groce was going through a box of family papers with her cousin Aileen when she found a sheet of old letterhead for an “Emory C. Malick, Licensee: Pilot No. 105.” Included on the letterhead was a photograph of a handsome young man in a Curtiss pusher-type airplane. Groce handed the letterhead to her cousin, asking: “Have you ever seen this photo of our great-uncle Emory?” She recalls her cousin’s surprise: “Aileen looked at the paper and replied, ‘Oh my God. He’s black.’ ****** Emory C. Malick, Curtiss Aviation School, 1912 Emory Conrad Malick (1881-1958) was the first licensed African American aviator, earning his International Pilot’s License (Federation Aeronautique Internationale, or F.A.I., license), #105, on March 20, 1912, while attending the Curtiss School of Aviation on North Island, San Diego, California. Mr. Malick was also the first African American pilot to earn his Federal Airline Transport License, #1716, in 1927. But his name is as yet unknown. ********** Black Aviators, Hubert Fauntleroy, William Powell, Dorothy E. Tate, John C. Robinson Coleman Young, George Washington, 

Descendant Tamara Lanier Explains Suit Against Harvard And Slavery Images The Gist of Freedom and Guest host Kimberly Simmons welcomes Tamara Lanier. Join us as Mrs. Lanier updates us on her suit against Harvard Lawsuit by gr-gr-gr-granddaughter of slavery survivor  blasts Harvard for collecting licensing fees on the photos  of her ancestors which were used in racist research.  “These images were taken under duress, ordered by a Harvard professor bent on proving the inferiority of African-Americans,” said her lawyer Michael Koskoff. “Harvard has no right to keep them, let alone profit from them. It’s about time the university accepted responsibility for its shameful history and for the way it has treated Papa Renty and his family.”

Slavery Survivors' Descendants Own Nat Turner Plantation! Turner Family offer Nat Turner's  Cave, to be part of driving tour | http://bit.ly/NatTurnerTour The Turner descendants gained a piece of history when they inherited his two farms. Nat Turner was an enslaved African American who led a rebellion of enslaved and free black men in Southampton County, Virginia on August 21, 1831, that resulted in the deaths of 55 to 65 white people. He used a cave for his refuge . It was in that cave that Nat Turner was discovered.  The Turner Family hope to have the location of the cave added as a part of a proposed driving tour — backed by the Southampton County Historical Society — that would follow the journey of Nat Turner and the rebellion. “We feel that it is our duty to our grandfather, Sidney, to pass on the history of our land, and that it is our purpose to keep that history alive for future generations,” Hawkins said.

Origins of Watch Night Service!  Black Methodists and Baptists celebrate Watch Night, December 31, 1862  the Emancipation Proclamation would go into effect at midnight. The celebration continues in African American churches today, striking a more joyous note than prior repentance Watch Nights.  --------------- The first Watch Night was Dec. 31, 1862, as abolitionists and others waited for word — via telegraph, newspaper or word of mouth — that the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued. "A lot of it, at least the initial Watch Night, was really many of the free black community," says Lonnie Bunch, director of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Yet for a people largely held in bondage, freedom is a powerful idea — and that's what the Watch Night tradition embodies.

Former CIA Operative Robert Baer says if the CIA can prove that Russia interfered with the 2016 election then the US should vote again... http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/12/10/robert-baer-new-election-russia-hacking-nr.cnn/video/playlists/donald-trump-and-russia/ Election Fraud Speech led to brutal beaten on the Floor of Congress.... and subsequently, John Brown's RAIDS and ultimately The Civil War In the first two Kansas territorial elections, one in November 1854 and the second in March 1855, thousands of citizens along Missouri’s western border flooded across the state line into Kansas to throw the popular vote into the hands of the proslavery Kansans. By intimidating and harassing Free-State settlers at the polling places, they suppressed the Free-State vote. Some counties recorded more proslavery votes than the total number of residents. A territorial census taken at the beginning of March 1855, for example, counted 2,905 voters, and yet the election 30 days later tallied over 6,000 votes. The proslavery faction won the territorial elections by overwhelming majorities, and the abolitionists and antislavery partisans were further incensed by the election’s irregularities.   Infuriated by the tactics of violence, coercion, and fraud used by the proslavery side to win the first Kansas Territorial elections, abolitionist Senator Charles Sumner, in his narrative of “Bleeding Kansas he  characterized proslavery congressmen to their face as a “noisome, squat, and nameless animal . . . not a proper model for an American senator”. A slaver retaliated and beat Sumner to a pulp with a cane! Although it would be three-and-a-half years before Sumner was well enough to return to the Senate, Massachusetts re-elected him, too, by a huge majority. The deep divisions between North and South had never been clearer.

4 Million+ Petition Electors To Dump Trump Meet The organizer Brezenoff Petitions, Black Abolitionists & The Gag Rule Thousands of Anti-Slavery Petitions led to the "Gag Rule" “Am I gagged or am I not?” In May of 1836 the House passed a resolution that automatically "tabled," or postponed action on all petitions relating to slavery. In 1837—38, for example, abolitionists sent more than 130,000 petitions to Congress asking for the abolition of slavery in Washington, DC. In addition they opposed the admission of new slave states and the annexation of Texas. Antislavery opponents became more insistent, Southern members of Congress were increasingly adamant in their defense of slavery. ----- Hillary Joins the RECOUNT ~Before the recount has begun, evidence of foul play has been exposed in 3 Wi precincts – which had resulted in phantom votes given to Trump –18% of Trumps lead disappeared when an audit uncovered 5k fake votes! http://bit.ly/RECOUNTwiRIGGED

Cecilio Binn, T & L host and- History of Blacks Combating Fascism; Paul Robeson  As William L. Katz explains in The Lincoln Brigade: A Picture History, “Most Lincolns were activists and idealists who had worked with and demonstrated for the homeless and unemployed during the Great Depression. They were poets and blue-collar workers, professors and students, seamen and journalists, lawyers and painters, Christians and Jews, blacks and whites. The Brigade was the first fully integrated United States army, and Oliver Law, an African American from Texas, was an early Lincoln commander.”

In speeches Mrs. Walker, the founder of  St. Luke Penny Savings Bank. had reasoned, "Let us put our money together; let us use our money; Let us put our money out at usury among ourselves, and reap the benefit ourselves."  In 1903 she founded the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank. Mrs. Walker served as the bank's first president, which earned her the recognition of being the first African American woman to charter a bank in the United States. Later she agreed to serve as chairman of the board of directors when the bank merged with two other Richmond banks to become The Consolidated Bank and Trust Company. Until 2009, the bank thrived as the oldest continually African American-operated bank in the United States. A young “Miss Maggie” Walker, the daughter of a survivor of slavery, who in 1903 became the first woman of any race to found and become president of an American bank.    ALAMERICA BANK http://bit.ly/MaggieBank Location: Birmingham, AlabamaFounded: January 28, 2000FDIC Region: AtlantaAssets: $35 404 000 BROADWAY FEDERAL BANK FSB Location: Los Angeles, CaliforniaFounded: February 26, 1947FDIC Region: San FranciscoAssets: $385 055 000 Location: Savannah, GeorgiaFounded: January 1, 1927FDIC Region: AtlantaAssets: $41 573 000 CITIZENS TRUST BANK Location: Atlanta, GeorgiaFounded: June 18, 1921FDIC Region: AtlantaAssets: $392 286 000
