The Journal of Black Innovation National Black Business Month 31 Ways 31 Days focus for August 4 is #DEFENDING14th For the past six weeks, we've explored the legislative history and strategy that created the most important provision of the Constitution. It is necessary preparation for any public decisionmaker given the attacks on equal protection because the real history has been intentionally miscommunicated to generations of Americans. Clear it up with my trilogy Road to Ratification: How 27 States Faced the Most Challenging Issue in American History; Citizenship for All: 150th anniversary of the 14th Amendment and We Fought, We Vote: 150th anniversary of the 15th Amendment. https://lnkd.in/ggtZDCqu

The insult and injustice of the nation never reconciling centuries of debt and restitution owed goes beyond the impairment and indignity accrued and compounded through the years, and further aggravated and exacerbated by any redress given to others. The one most egregious to me is The Compensated Emancipation Act of 1862, which issued reparations to thousands of white slave owners as property compensation for freed --- lost slaves. Even members of Lincoln’s administration?were recipients. But this issue is so much more than the just accounting for generations of bondage, for it is an issue of rectifying the ongoing wrongs of ever-present ills, and dismantling the intentional infrastructure of socially engineered disparities.

Confronting the harsh truths of America's past and present. The statistics reveal a stark reality: the weekly killings of unarmed Black individuals now exceed the horrific lynching rates during the height of segregation. This isn't just history; it's happening today. From voter suppression tactics to the unjust removal of elected Black officials, systemic oppression persists. It's time to acknowledge these injustices and demand change. For more, visit: https://lnkd.in/epxQWK-a #BlackLivesMatter #VoterRights #SystemicOppression

?? **Revisiting Black Republican Identity: A Nuanced Perspective** ?? Hey everyone! I wanted to take a moment to circle back to my earlier post about the complexities of Black Republican identity. It’s a topic that deserves deeper exploration, especially in light of Clay Cane's book, *The Grift*. I just secured my copy, and Im finding it difficult to put it down. Cane articulates how the embrace of conservative values often leads to a misalignment with the broader goals of the Black community. In *The Grift*, Cane argues that the allure of respectability politics can sometimes overshadow the real issues that affect marginalized communities. He emphasizes that conforming to conservative ideals often requires a compromise of our true identities and values. This can create a misleading narrative that suggests success and acceptance are only attainable through alignment with conservative politics. Moreover, Cane highlights that this approach can divert attention from systemic injustices and the need for genuine advocacy for equity and justice. As he points out, prioritizing respectability over authenticity can alienate those who don’t fit into a narrow definition of what it means to be “acceptable” in political discourse (Cane, 2020). It's crucial for us to recognize that our identities are multifaceted and cannot be boxed into a partisan narrative. Engaging in conservatism can sometimes lead to a dilution of our collective voice, overshadowing the pressing issues we face, from police brutality to economic disparity. Let’s continue to have open discussions about identity and politics, and strive for an inclusive approach that reflects our diverse experiences. It's important that we uplift all voices in our community and challenge any frameworks that seek to constrain our identities. What are your thoughts on this? Let’s keep the conversation going! ??? ????https://lnkd.in/gykXJSDk #BlackRepublicanIdentity #TheGrift #RespectabilityPolitics #Authenticity #CommunityVoices

In @tarouebrooks article, @tarouebrooks highlights the media’s role in shaping perceptions about Black men’s voting behavior, often making them seen as disengaged or divided. This can be harmful, as it undermines the power and voice we hold in political spaces. #VotingPower#AfricanAmericanStudies #CivicUnityIn my African American Studies class with Prof. @demarcushopson, we have been exploring the historical struggles within the Black community. The article reminds me of how media narratives can influence not only public opinion but also our self. It’s crucial that we go against divisive tactics and grown within the black communities to use the right to vote. Our vote is a key to influence and progress in society.??#PoliticalEngagement?Full article: https://lnkd.in/dnZbgduz

As a Black woman leading two Black centered and focused organizations, I personally am struggling with the variety of emotions this election has brought up in me. But this keeps popping up in my mind: "Should an emergency situation occur, you need to put your own oxygen mask on first, before attempting to help those around you."
