{"title":"A.A. Educators Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003eGenerally speaking, Texas’ white population viewed the Freedmen’s Bureau’s agents as an occupying force and not as an agency to help transition blacks from slavery to freedom. Education, denied them under slavery, was essential to the African-American understanding of freedom. Young and old, the freed people flocked to the schools established after the Civil War. For both races, Reconstruction laid the foundation for public schooling in the South. Northern benevolent societies, the Freedmen’s Bureau, and, after 1868, state governments, provided most of the funding for black education, but the initiative often lay with blacks themselves, who purchased land, constructed buildings, and raised money to hire teachers. The desire for learning led families to move to towns and cities so that their children could have access to education, and children to instruct their parents after school hours. Reconstruction also witnessed the creation of the nation’s first black colleges, including Howard University in Washington, D.C., Fisk University in Tennessee and Hampton Institute in Virginia. Initially, these institutions emphasized the training of black teachers and by 1869, blacks outnumbered whites among the nearly 3,000 men and women teaching the freed- people in the South. Before the Civil War, only North Carolina among Southern states had established a comprehensive system of education for white children. During Reconstruction, public education came to the South.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"w-e-b-dubois-1002","title":"W. E. B.

Du Bois was born during the term of President Andrew Johnson and died the year that Lyndon Johnson became president.

He then studied in Germany but ran out of funds before he could earn a post-doctoral degree. With the publication of THE PHILADELPHIA NEGRO: A SOCIAL STUDY in 1899, the first case study of a black community in the United States, as well as papers on black farmers, businessmen, and black life in Southern communities, Du Bois established himself as the first great scholar of black life in America. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He taught sociology at Atlanta University between 1898 and 1910. Du Bois had hoped that social science could help eliminate segregation, but he eventually came to the conclusion that the only effective strategy against racism was agitation. He challenged the dominant ideology of black accommodation as preached and practiced by Booker T. Washington, then the most influential black man in America. Washington urged blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and elevate themselves through hard work and economic gain to win the respect of whites. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 1903, in his famous book THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK, Du Bois charged that Washington's strategy kept the black man down rather than freed him. This attack crystallized the opposition to Booker T. Washington among many black intellectuals, polarizing the leaders of the black community into two wings -- the \"conservative\" supporters of Washington and his \"radical\" critics. In 1905, Du Bois took the lead in founding the short-lived Niagara Movement, intended to be an organization advocating civil rights for blacks. Although the Niagara Movement faltered, it was the forerunner of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which was founded in 1909. Du Bois played a prominent role in the organization's creation and became its director of research and the editor of its magazine, THE CRISIS.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\nFor many young African Americans in the period from 1910 through the 1930s, Du Bois was the voice of the black community. He attacked Woodrow Wilson when the president allowed his cabinet members to segregate the federal government. He continued to fight against the demand by many whites that black education be primarily industrial and that black students in the South learn to accept white supremacy. Du Bois emphasized the necessity for higher education in order to develop the leadership capacity among the most able 10 percent of black Americans, whom he dubbed \"The Talented Tenth.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the 1930s, Du Bois found himself in a bitter dispute with Walter White, the head of the NAACP, when Du Bois suddenly penned articles that advocated voluntary segregation, maintaining that black children would receive a better education from black teachers. Du Bois resigned from the editorship of THE CRISIS and the NAACP in 1934. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He taught for the next ten years at Atlanta University and published two of his major works, BLACK RECONSTRUCTION: AN ESSAY TOWARD A HISTORY OF THE PART WHICH BLACK FOLK PLAYED IN THE ATTEMPT TO RECONSTRUCT DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA 1860-1880 and DUSK OF DAWN. In 1951, when he was 83 years old, the federal government prosecuted Du Bois for his affiliation with the Communist Party. A judge eventually threw out the case. Disillusioned with the United States, he officially joined the Communist Party in 1961 and moved to Ghana; he renounced his American citizenship more than a year later.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\" \u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eplease call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 7.00","offer_id":96818,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Picture Frame with Glass, 11\" x 17\" $25.00","offer_id":49774522,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $15.00","offer_id":1479152,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1002_WEB_DUBOIS_2009.jpg?v=1571438524"},{"product_id":"dr-king-and-malcolm-xlm-x-1005","title":"Dr. King and Malcolm X #1005","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;Caption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\" It's easy to kill a man,\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: normal;\"\u003ebut harder to crush his spirit.\"\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"right\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n      \n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eYears after the deaths of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stanford.edu\/group\/King\/about_king\/biography\/\"\u003eMartin Luther King, Jr.\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stanford.edu\/group\/King\/about_king\/encyclopedia\/x_malcolm.htm\"\u003eMalcolm X\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ethe two men still remain fixed images in the American consciousness: Martin Luther King, Jr., an advocate of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stanford.edu\/group\/King\/about_king\/encyclopedia\/nonviolence.htm\"\u003enonviolence\u003c\/a\u003e,   delivering his \u003cem\u003e“I Have a Dream”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003espeech\n from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and Malcolm X, the black \nnationalist, encouraging African Americans to fight racial oppression \n“by any means necessary.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWere these two men really ideological opposites? \nDid they share any common ground?

A U.S. educator born to former slaves, she made her way through college and in 1904 founded a school that later became part of Bethune Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Fla. She was president of the college from 1923–42 and 1946–47. Prominent in African-American organizations, particularly women's groups, she directed the Division of Negro Affairs of the National Youth Administration (1936–44). Bethune worked for the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932, and attempted to get him to support a proposed law against lynching. Although the Costigan Wagner bill was not passed, they did raise more public awareness of the lynching issue. She was also a member of Roosevelt's Black Cabinet. Her house is preserved by the National Park Service as Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\" \u003cbr \/\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eplease call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $8.00","offer_id":96847,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Picture Frame with Glass, 11\" x 17\" $25.00","offer_id":49776162,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $ 25.00","offer_id":1477272,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1013_MARY_BETHUNE_2009.jpg?v=1571438524"},{"product_id":"bill-cosby-1015","title":"Bill Cosby #1015","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\" In order to succeed,\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e your desire for success \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e should be greater than\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e your fear of failure.\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n Bill Cosby is one of the United States' most popular and admired entertainers, known for his wit and warmth both onstage and off. A veteran stand-up performer, he got his start working clubs and making comedy albums, then moved into television with a vanguard role in the 1960s action show I Spy. He later starred in his own series, The Bill Cosby Show, in the early 1970s. He was one of the major characters on the children's television show The Electric Company for its first two seasons, and created the humorous educational cartoon series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, about a group of young friends growing up in the city. Cosby also acted in numerous films, although none has received the acclaim of his television work. During the 1980s, Cosby produced and starred in what is considered one of the decade's defining cultural sitcoms, The Cosby Show, which aired from 1984 to 1992. The sitcom featured an upper-class African-American family without resorting to the kinds of stereotypes previously seen among African-Americans in prime-time television. While some argued that The Cosby Show ignored the issues of racial inequity still prevalent in society, many agreed that it showcased positive role models. The late 1990s brought trouble for Cosby, first in early 1997 with the death of his only son, Ennis, who was shot to death on a Los Angeles freeway in a random act of violence. Also that year, he was dragged into a court case that involved a young woman who was charged with extortion in claiming that he was her biological father - a shocking accusation that Cosby denied. Cosby admitted to having a one-time affair with the woman's mother. \n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $10.00","offer_id":96852,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":49704302,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $25.00","offer_id":1472832,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1015_Bill_Cosby_2009.jpg?v=1571438524"},{"product_id":"carter-g-woodson-1016","title":"Carter G.

His mother had emigrated from Saint Kitts and Nevis in the 1920s; his father was a Jamaican cab driver from New York, but was not involved in his upbringing. As a child, he received training as a violinist. At the age of six, he was given his first violin and by the age of 13, he had played with the Boston College Orchestra and the Boston Civic Symphony. A year later, Louis went on to win national competitions, as well as the Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour. He was one of the first blacks to appear on the popular show. In Boston, Farrakhan attended the prestigious Boston Latin School and English High School, graduating from the latter. He attended college for two years at Winston-Salem State University teachers college, but left to be with his wife in Boston who was with child. The way the baby was positioned inside of his wife, it would touch a nerve and literally take her feet from under her. Louis decided that he could not fully concentrate on school knowing that his wife and child might be in potential danger. In the 1950s, Farrakhan became an up-and-coming calypso singer. He recorded several calypso albums under the name \"The Charmer.\" In 1955, while headlining a show in Chicago entitled \"Calypso Follies,\" he first came in contact with the teachings of the Nation of Islam. Farrakhan joined the Nation of Islam in July of 1955. Thirty days after joining, Elijah Muhammad stated that all musicians in the NOI had thirty days from the date of this announcement to give up the music world completely. Farrakhan did so almost instantly. He performed one last time at the Nevel Country Club and did everything he knew how to do related to show business. After the show that day, he was approached by the high profile manager of Pearl Bailey and Billie Daniels. He asked if he could be Farrakhan's manager, and if so he would pay him $500.00 a week. In 1955 $500.00 was more like $5,000.00 by today's standard. Farrakhan turned him down flat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 8.00","offer_id":96856,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Picture Frame with Glass, 11\" x 17\" $25.00","offer_id":49777152,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $ 25.00","offer_id":1477372,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1017_Minister_Louis_Farrakhan.jpg?v=1571438525"},{"product_id":"paul-robeson-1021","title":"Paul Robeson #1021","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__ \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \" We ask for nothing that is not right,\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eand herein lies the great power of our demand.\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePaul Robeson\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nRobeson, Paul (1898–1976), influential African American singer, actor, and social activist. Paul Robson was born in Princeton, New Jersey, and was the child of a clergyman who had been born a slave. After winning a scholarship competition, Robeson attended Rutgers University, distinguishing himself as both scholar and athlete. While at Rutgers he augmented his scholarship income by offering concerts and dramatic performances. After graduating from Columbia Law School in 1923, Robeson turned to dramatic and musical theater where he became internationally celebrated. His roles in Eugene O'Neill's All God's Chillun Got Wings (1924) and Emperor Jones (1924 in New York and 1925 in London) catapulted him to prominence as a serious actor when opportunities for African Americans on stage were generally limited to the comic or to racist stereotypes. Robeson's performances in productions of Shakespeare, particularly Othello, were enormously popular and won him enthusiastic critical acclaim. Robeson was always acutely conscious of the complex racial politics of the American scene (even as early as his Rutgers years). From the mid-1930s on Robeson became increasingly interested in Communism, particularly as it seemed to speak to the plight of African Americans. In this respect, the trajectory of Robeson's life mirrors that of many African American artists and intellectuals, such as Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. Robeson's interest in radical politics deepened over the years, even as it limited his opportunities to perform. This limitation became especially pronounced in the early 1950s, given the advent of explicit conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. Unlike Wright, who renounced Communism in favor of a more generalized anticolonialism, Robeson continued his interest in the politics of Communism, bringing him into conflict with the government of the United States, which revoked his passport (in 1950), though it was restored in 1958. Robeson spent the latter years of his life in ill health, living in Europe and later in the United States.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 8.00","offer_id":96865,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Picture Frame with Glass, 11\" x 17\" $25.00","offer_id":49778612,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $ 25.00","offer_id":1478632,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1021_Paul_Robeson_2009.jpg?v=1571438525"},{"product_id":"harlem-renaissance-1344","title":"Harlem Renaissance #1344","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eDuring the Harlem Renaissance The Cotton Club\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e\nwas one of the most famous nightclubs in history.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;The Cotton Club's story points at many reasons why we love the 1920's\u003cbr \/\u003e\nand also why the decade has a split personality.\u0026nbsp; Jazz is art of individuals\u003cbr \/\u003e\nworking in unison to create a sublime sound.\u0026nbsp; Like the rest of the 1920s,\u003cbr \/\u003e\njazz distinguishes itself by being different from the mainstream.

Mohammed 1933 – 2008 Like other great religious leaders, W.D. Mohammed, the American Muslim leader who died Tuesday at age 74, showed us how to mature spiritually and more gracefully. Imam Mohammed, who briefly followed his father, Elijah Muhammad, as leader of the black supremacist Nation of Islam, later rejected the radical and messianic teachings of his father and adopted a more traditional, humble and inclusive Islam.\"I had common sense, and my common sense told me this was ridiculous, the idea that God is a God that wants one people to dominate others,\" W.D. Mohammed said in 1997. Mohammed said he knew that Master W.D. Fard Muhammad, the mysterious founder of the Nation of Islam, \"was not God, and I knew he was not God, Elijah Mohammed was not a prophet.\" W.D. Mohammed, who dissolved the Nation of Islam in the 1970s and encouraged his followers (including Muhammad Ali) to become more orthodox Muslims, was less well known but much more influential than Louis Farrakhan, who broke from Mohammad and revived the Nation of Islam in the late 1970s. Mohammed's mainstream American Muslim Society is by far the country's largest community of African-American Muslims. In 1992, he became the first Muslim to deliver an invocation to the U.S. Senate. In 1993 and 1997, he recited from the Holy Qu'ran at President Bill Clinton's two inaugural inter-faithprayer services. \"His intrinsic intelligence and high academic acumen made him wise, but his kind heart and charitable character is what made him so beloved,\" Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.), who is Muslim, said in a statement Tuesday. Mohammed began to question his father's teachings in the early 1960s, while he was serving time a federal prison for refusing induction into the U.S. Army. He studied the Qu'ran and found its teachings didn't match his father's. After his father died in 1975, W.D. Mohammed disbanded the Nation's militaristic security force, then dissolved the Nation entirely. He told his followers to become orthodox Muslims to kneel in prayer five times a day, to read the Qu'ran in Arabic, to be more tolerant and generous, less dogmatic and political. \"We should realize that the first identity is not an African or a European or a Saudi,\" Mohammed told PBS in 2003. \"The first identity is a human being.\" Aug. 29, in his last Friday sermon, Mohammed addressed his followers in Detroit's Cobo Hall. According to the, \"he repeatedly praised Jesus and stressed the importance of living a moral life. In his talk, Mohammed urged personal responsibility and praised Jesus and Muhammad, Islam's founder, saying both were great teachers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 7.00","offer_id":96913,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50816862,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $15.00","offer_id":1479132,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1287_W.D._Mohammed_2009.jpg?v=1571438525"},{"product_id":"angela-davis-1026","title":"Angela Davis #1026","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \" Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionary’s life.

A U.S. educator born to former slaves, she made her way through college and in 1904 founded a school that later became part of Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Fla. She was president of the college from 1923–42 and 1946–47. Prominent in African-American organizations, particularly women's groups, she directed the Division of Negro Affairs of the National Youth Administration (1936–44). Bethune worked for the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932, and attempted to get him to support a proposed law against lynching. Although the Costigan-Wagner bill was not passed, they did raise more public awareness of the lynching issue. She was also a member of Roosevelt's Black Cabinet.

Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad began the paper in 1961, it's first issue bearing the title, \"Some Of This Earth To Call Our Own Or Else\". Like all newspapers, it covered current events in the world, as well as relevant news in African American communities and within the Nation of Islam. The paper was sold door to door by Nation of Islam members and in the temples of the Nation of Islam. According to famous black rights activist Malcolm X in The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the newspaper, Muhammad Speaks, was originally created by Malcolm X himself, although this hasn't been confirmed. What has been confirmed is that Malcolm did help in the start of a local paper in New York City, entitled \"Mr. Muhammad Speaks\", not to be confused with the national paper \"Muhammad Speaks\". However by that time, Elijah Muhammad had used several literary vehicles to get his words to the majority of the Black population, the most well-known being the \"Pittsburgh Courier\". The men of the Nation of Islam, during this period greatly increased the distribution of the \"Pittsburgh Courier\" because it contained the messages of Elijah Muhammad.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 7.00","offer_id":97060,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Picture Frame with Glass, 11\" x 17\" $25.00","offer_id":49779922,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $15.00","offer_id":1477572,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1032_Muhammad.speaks_2009.jpg?v=1571438526"},{"product_id":"dr-martin-luther-king-jr-1039","title":"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #1039","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\" Injustice anywhere, is a\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;threat to justice everywhere.\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social \nactivist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement \nfrom the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968.

He was separated from his mother, Harriet Bailey, when he was still an infant. She died when Douglass was about seven years old. The identity of Douglass' father is obscure; Douglass originally stated that his father was a white man, perhaps his master, Captain Aaron Anthony, but later said that he knew nothing of his father's identity. When Anthony died, Douglass was given to Mrs. Lucretia Auld, wife of Captain Thomas Auld. Mrs. Auld then sent Douglass to Baltimore to serve the Captain's brother, Hugh Auld. When Douglass was about twelve, Hugh Auld's wife, Sophia, broke the law by teaching Douglass some letters of the alphabet. Thereafter, as detailed in his Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (published in 1845), Douglass succeeded in learning to read from white children in the neighborhood in which he lived, and by observation of writings of the men with whom he worked. Douglass later referred to the lessons he received from Sophia Auld in his first abolitionist speech. In 1833, Auld sent him to work for Edward Covey, a poor farmer who had a reputation as a \"slave-breaker,\" where he was whipped regularly. In 1837, Douglass met Anna Murray, a free African-American, in Baltimore while he was still held in slavery. They were married soon after he obtained his freedom; Douglass escaped slavery on September 3, 1838 boarding a train to Havre de Grace, Maryland dressed in a sailor's uniform and carrying identification papers provided by a free black seaman. After crossing the Susquehanna River by ferry boat at Havre de Grace, Douglass continued by train to Wilmington, Delaware. From there Douglass went by steamboat to \"Quaker City\" Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His escape to freedom eventually led him to New York, the entire journey taking less than twenty-four hours. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $8.00","offer_id":97093,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50644682,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $25.00","offer_id":1474922,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1046_Frederick_Douglass_2009.jpg?v=1571438526"},{"product_id":"brown-vs-board-of-education-1051","title":"Brown vs Board of Education #1051","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Brown v.

When, combined with several other cases, her suit reached the Supreme Court, that body, in an opinion by recently appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren, broke with long tradition and unanimously overruled the “separate but equal” doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson, holding for the first time that dejure segregation in the public schools violated the principle of equal protection under the law guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Responding to legal and sociological arguments presented by NAACP lawyers led by Thurgood Marshall, the court stressed that the “badge of inferiority” stamped on minority children by segregation hindered their full development no matter how “equal” physical facilities might be. After hearing further arguments on implementation, the court declared in 1955 that schools must be desegregated “with all deliberate speed.” \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $10.00","offer_id":97102,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50645132,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $25.00","offer_id":1473162,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1051_Brown_vs._Board_of_Education_2009.jpg?v=1571438526"},{"product_id":"booker-t-washington-1055","title":"Booker T.

He was one of the dominant figures in African American history in the United States from 1890 to 1915. Washington was born into slavery to a slave owner [father], and a slave [mother] in Franklin County, Virginia. He eventually learned to read and write while working at manual labor jobs. At the age of sixteen, he went to Hampton, Virginia to Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, now Hampton University, to train as a teacher. In 1881, he was named as the first leader of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. He was granted an honorary Masters of Arts degree from Harvard University in 1896 and an honorary Doctorate degree from Dartmouth College in 1901. Washington played a very prominent role in black politics. Washington received national prominence for his famous Atlanta Address of 1895, attracting the attention of politicians and the public as a popular spokesperson for African American citizens. Although labeled by some activists as an \"accommodator\"; his work, in cooperating with white people and enlisting the support of wealthy philanthropists, helped raise funds to establish and operate hundreds of small community schools and institutions of higher education for the betterment of black persons throughout the South.In addition to the substantial contributions in the field of education, Dr. Washington did much to improve the overall friendship and working relationship between the races in the United States. His autobiography, Up From Slavery, first published in 1901, is still widely read. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $10.00","offer_id":97331,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50645412,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $25.00","offer_id":1473132,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1055_Booker_T._Washington_2009.jpg?v=1571438527"},{"product_id":"willie-lynch-letter-1060","title":"Willie Lynch letter #1060","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Willie Lynch Letter \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGENTLEMAN: I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First I shall thank you, the Gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King James, whose bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your program is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along the old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion. I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, gentlemen...you know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I have a fool-proof method for controlling your black slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any overseer can use it. I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves, and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies, and it will work throughout the South. Take this simple little test of differences and think about them. On the top of my list is \"Age\", but it is there because it only starts with an \"A\"; the second is \"Color\" or shade; there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantations, attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action--but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect, or admiration. The Black Slave, after receiving this indoctrination, shall carry on and will become self refueling and self generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands. Don't forget, you must pitch the old Black vs. the young Black male, and the young Black male against the old Black male. You must use the dark skinned slaves vs the light skinned slaves, and the light skinned slaves vs. the dark skinned slaves. You must use the female vs. the male, and the male vs. the female. You must also have your servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. They must love, respect, and trust only us. Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control, use them. Have your wives and children use them. Never miss opportunity.

(William Edward Burghardt) Dubois was born on February 23, \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He was one of the most \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003einfluential black leaders of the first half of the 20th Century. Dubois \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eshared in the founding of the National Association for the Advancement\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eof Colored People, or NAACP, in 1909. He served as its director of \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eresearch and editor of its magazine, \"Crisis,\" until 1934. Dubois was\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ethe first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ein 1896. Between 1897 and 1914 Dubois conducted numerous studies\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eof black society in America, publishing 16 research papers. He began\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ehis investigations believing that social science could provide answers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eto race problems. Gradually he concluded that in a climate of virulent \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eracism, social change could only be accomplished by agitation and protest.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAt the turn of the century Dubois had been a supporter of black capitalism.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThroughout his career he moved steadily to the political left. By 1905\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ehe had been drawn to socialist ideas and remained sympathetic to \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMarxism throughout his life.  Du bois acted in support of integration\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eand equal rights for everyone regardless of race, but his thinking often\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eexhibited a degree of black separatist-nationalist tendencies. In 1961\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDubois became completely disillusioned with the United States.

The event, actually more of a rally and\u003cbr\u003e prayer meeting than march, is called \"a day of \u003cbr\u003e atonement and reconciliation.\" Supporters describe\u003cbr\u003e it as a call for black men to take responsibility \u003cbr\u003e for their own lives and families, and to dedicate\u003cbr\u003e themselves to fighting the scourges of drugs, \u003cbr\u003e violence and unemployment. Organizers asked \u003cbr\u003e women and men who can't come to the rally to stay \u003cbr\u003e home from work or school to mark a \"holy day,\" and \u003cbr\u003e to avoid spending any money as a demonstration\u003cbr\u003e of black economic power. No one knows how\u003cbr\u003e many will take part. Sunday night, several thousand\u003cbr\u003e black men, women and children turned out for a\u003cbr\u003e \"prayer and praise rally\" at the D.C. Convention \u003cbr\u003e Center, kicking off events with revival-like fervor.\u003cbr\u003e People stamped feet and clapped hands to gospel\u003cbr\u003e music as vendors sold T-shirts, buttons, fruit and\u003cbr\u003e bottled water. On the Mall, black men arrived \u003cbr\u003e in groups, many carrying backpacks and planning \u003cbr\u003e to sleep outdoors as temperatures dropped into\u003cbr\u003e the 50s. Flashlight beams illuminated intimate\u003cbr\u003e gatherings where men listened to music from\u003cbr\u003e rap to gospel and talked of religion, Malcolm X\u003cbr\u003e and solidarity. \"I feel that the atmosphere is strong\u003cbr\u003e young black men being empowered with other\u003cbr\u003e black men. It's beautiful,\" said 24-year-old Clayton\u003cbr\u003e Pasley, a pastor from St. Louis, Mo. The idea \u003cbr\u003e originated with Farrakhan, and he has been its\u003cbr\u003e chief organizer, with the help of ousted NAACP\u003cbr\u003e chief Benjamin Chavis Jr. But it has attracted \u003cbr\u003e a wide coalition of support, including Jesse Jackson, \u003cbr\u003e Rosa Parks and several black members of Congress\u003cbr\u003e and mayors and ministers.

Three members of\u003cbr\u003e the Coalition for Jewish Concerns appeared on\u003cbr\u003e the Mall with signs that said \"David Duke and \u003cbr\u003e Louis Farrakhan two sides of the same coin.\" \u003cbr\u003e They got in a brief shouting match with some \u003cbr\u003e black passers by. Farrakhan's remarks have\u003cbr\u003e infuriated Jews, Catholics, gays, feminists and \u003cbr\u003e others. He has called Judaism a \"gutter religion\"\u003cbr\u003e and recently defended his use of the term \u003cbr\u003e \"bloodsuckers\" to describe Jews or others who\u003cbr\u003e open businesses in minority communities and\u003cbr\u003e take the profits elsewhere. Farrakhan canceled\u003cbr\u003e all his public appearances Sunday to prepare\u003cbr\u003e for the rally. Huge speakers and giant video \u003cbr\u003e screens were being set up on the grassy Mall \u003cbr\u003e Sunday afternoon, and yellow tape marked the \u003cbr\u003e spot behind the Capitol where organizers planned\u003cbr\u003e to erect a stage. Crowds were expected to begin\u003cbr\u003e converging on the Mall soon after midnight. \u003cbr\u003e Some city subway stations were opening at \u003cbr\u003e 12:30 a.m., five hours earlier than usual, to \u003cbr\u003e accommodate them. Activities start at 5 a.m. \u003cbr\u003e With prayer and African drumming, followed by\u003cbr\u003e speeches, music and more prayer throughout\u003cbr\u003e the day. Weather forecasters predicted a sunny \u003cbr\u003e and breezy day with temperatures in the 60s. \u003cbr\u003e Helena Ramirez came to look over the site but\u003cbr\u003e said on Monday she and her daughter would \u003cbr\u003e stay home, offering support to the men. \"I think\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColumn #3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's been too long since there's been something \u003cbr\u003e for young black men,\" she said.

The 1963, civil\u003cbr\u003e rights march led by Martin Luther King Jr., which \u003cbr\u003e included men and women of many races, drew \u003cbr\u003e 250,000 people.

He was one of the dominant figures in African American history in the United States from 1890 to 1915. Washington was born into slavery to a slave owner [father], and a slave [mother] in Franklin County, Virginia. He eventually learned to read and write while working at manual labor jobs. At the age of sixteen, he went to Hampton, Virginia to Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, now Hampton University, to train as a teacher. In 1881, he was named as the first leader of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. He was granted an honorary Masters of Arts degree from Harvard University in 1896 and an honorary Doctorate degree from Dartmouth College in 1901. Washington played a very prominent role in black politics. Washington received national prominence for his famous Atlanta Address of 1895, attracting the attention of politicians and the public as a popular spokesperson for African American citizens. Although labeled by some activists as an \"accommodator\"; his work, in cooperating with white people and enlisting the support of wealthy philanthropists, helped raise funds to establish and operate hundreds of small community schools and institutions of higher education for the betterment of black persons throughout the South.In addition to the substantial contributions in the field of education, Dr. Washington did much to improve the overall friendship and working relationship between the races in the United States. His autobiography, Up From Slavery, first published in 1901, is still widely read. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $10.00","offer_id":97374,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50645912,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print  $25.00","offer_id":1473142,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1074_Booker_T._Washington_2009.jpg?v=1571438527"},{"product_id":"the-wall-of-legends-1075","title":"The Wall of Legends #1075","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\" Know whence you came from,\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e If you know whence you came from, \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e there is really no limitations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e to where you can go.\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in poster:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Baldwin, Tuskegee Airman, Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Henry O.

He was also founder of the Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of Afro-American Unity. During his life, Malcolm went from being a drug dealer and burglar[1] to one of the most prominent black nationalist leaders in the United States; he was considered by some as a martyr of Islam and a champion of equality. As a militant leader, Malcolm X advocated black pride, economic self-reliance, and identity politics. He ultimately rose to become a world-renowned African American\/Pan-Africanist and human rights activist. Following a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964, Malcolm converted to orthodox Islam. Less than a year later he was assassinated in Washington Heights on the first day of National Brotherhood Week. Although three members of the Nation of Islam were convicted of his assassination (one of whom confessed), there are several conspiracy theories positing the involvement of elements of the United States Government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 7.00","offer_id":97381,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50649442,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print  $ 15.00","offer_id":1477052,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1077_MALCOLM_X.jpg?v=1571438527"},{"product_id":"phenomenal-women-1078","title":"Phenomenal Women #1078","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePhenomenal Woman\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePretty Women wonder where my secret lies.

American agricultural chemist, agronomist, and experimenter whose development of new products derived from peanuts (groundnuts), sweet potatoes, and soybeans helped revolutionize the agricultural economy of the South. For most of his career he taught and conducted research at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in Tuskegee, Ala. Carver was the son of a slave woman owned by Moses Carver. During the Civil War, slave owners found it difficult to hold slaves in the border state of Missouri, and Moses Carver therefore sent his slaves, including the young child and his mother, to Arkansas. After the war, Moses Carver learned that all his former slaves had disappeared except for a child named George. Frail and sick, the motherless child was returned to his former master's home and nursed back to health. The boy had a delicate sense of colour and form and learned to draw; later in life he devoted considerable time to painting flowers, plants, and landscapes. Though the Carvers told him he was no longer a slave, he remained on their plantation until he was about 10 or 12 years old, when he left to acquire an education. He spent some time wandering about, working with his hands and developing his keen interest in plants and animals. By both books and experience, George acquired a fragmentary education while doing whatever work came to hand in order to subsist. He supported himself by varied occupations that included general household worker, hotel cook, laundryman, farm labourer, and homesteader. In his late 20s he managed to obtain a high school education in Minneapolis, Kan., while working as a farmhand. After a university in Kansas refused to admit him because he was black, Carver matriculated at Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa, where he studied piano and art, subsequently transferring to Iowa State Agricultural College (Ames, Iowa), where he received a bachelor's degree in agricultural science in 1894 and a master of science degree in 1896. Carver left Iowa for Alabama in the fall of 1896 to direct the newly organized department of agriculture at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, a school headed by the noted black American educator Booker T. Washington. At Tuskegee, Washington was trying to improve the lot of black Americans through education and the acquisition of useful skills rather than through political agitation; he stressed conciliation, compromise, and economic development as the paths for black advancement in American\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003esociety. Despite many offers elsewhere, Carver would remain at Tuskegee for the rest of his life.After becoming the institute's director of agricultural research in 1896, Carver devoted his time to research projects aimed at helping Southern agriculture, demonstrating ways in which farmers could improve their economic situation.  He conducted experiments in soil\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003emanagement and crop production and directedan experimental farm. At this time agriculture in the Deep South was in serious trouble because the unremitting single-crop cultivation of cotton had left the soil of many fields exhausted and worthless, and erosion had then taken its toll on areas that could no longer sustain any plant cover. As a remedy, Carver urged\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSouthern farmers to plant peanuts and soybeans, which, since they belong to the legume family, could restore nitrogen to the soil while also providing the protein so badly needed in the diet of many Southerners. Carver found that Alabama's soils were particularly well-suited to growing peanuts and sweet potatoes, but when the state's farmers began cultivating these crops instead of cotton, they found little demand for them on the market. In response to this problem, Carver set about enlarging the commercial possibilities of the peanut and sweet potato through a long and ingenious program of laboratory research. He ultimately developed 300 derivative products from peanuts—among them cheese, milk, coffee, flour, ink,dyes, plastics, wood stains, soap, linoleum, medicinal oils, and cosmetics—and 118 from sweet potatoes, including flour, vinegar, molasses, rubber, ink, a synthetic rubber, and postage stamp glue. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $8.00","offer_id":97417,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50652772,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print  $ 15.00","offer_id":1475072,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1094_George_Washington_Carver_2009.jpg?v=1571438528"},{"product_id":"frederick-douglass-1107","title":"Frederick Douglass #1107","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e” I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e of  incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e be false, and to incur my own abhorrence. “\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, who later became known as Frederick Douglass, was born a slave in Talbot County, Maryland near Hillsboro. He was separated from his mother, Harriet Bailey, when he was still an infant. She died when Douglass was about seven years old. The identity of Douglass' father is obscure; Douglass originally stated that his father was a white man, perhaps his master, Captain Aaron Anthony, but later said that he knew nothing of his father's identity. When Anthony died, Douglass was given to Mrs. Lucretia Auld, wife of Captain Thomas Auld. Mrs. Auld then sent Douglass to Baltimore to serve the Captain's brother, Hugh Auld. When Douglass was about twelve, Hugh Auld's wife, Sophia, broke the law by teaching Douglass some letters of the alphabet. Thereafter, as detailed in his Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (published in 1845), Douglass succeeded in learning to read from white children in the neighborhood in which he lived, and by observation of writings of the men with whom he worked. Douglass later referred to the lessons he received from Sophia Auld in his first abolitionist speech. In 1833, Auld sent him to work for Edward Covey, a poor farmer who had a reputation as a \"slave-breaker,\" where he was whipped regularly. In 1837, Douglass met Anna Murray, a free African-American, in Baltimore while he was still held in slavery. They were married soon after he obtained his freedom; Douglass escaped slavery on September 3, 1838 boarding a train to Havre de Grace, Maryland dressed in a sailor's uniform and carrying identification papers provided by a free black seaman. After crossing the Susquehanna River by ferry boat at Havre de Grace, Douglass continued by train to Wilmington, Delaware. From there Douglass went by steamboat to \"Quaker City\"—Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His escape to freedom eventually led him to New York, the entire journey taking less than twenty-four hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $8.00","offer_id":97442,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50666172,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $25.00","offer_id":1474932,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1107_Frederick_Douglass_2009.jpg?v=1571438529"},{"product_id":"el-hajj-malik-el-shabazz-1111","title":"Malcolm X #1111","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e “ Education is the\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e passport to the future,\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e for tomorrow belongs to those\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e who prepare for it today”\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little, also known as Detroit Red and El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (North Omaha, Nebraska, May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965 in New York City) was a Black Muslim Minister and National Spokesman for the Nation of Islam.

Although three members of the Nation of Islam were convicted of his assassination (one of whom confessed), there are several conspiracy theories positing the involvement of elements of the United States Government. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 7.00","offer_id":97465,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50712102,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" Print $ 15.00","offer_id":1477072,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1118_MALCOLM_X.jpg?v=1571438529"},{"product_id":"angela-davis-1128","title":"Angela Davis #1128","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAngela Davis\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFormer California Governor Ronald Reagan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eonce vowed that Angela Davis would never\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eagain teach in the University of California\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e system.

He was separated from his mother, Harriet Bailey, when he was still an infant. She died when Douglass was about seven years old. The identity of Douglass' father is obscure; Douglass originally stated that his father was a white man, perhaps his master, Captain Aaron Anthony, but later said that he knew nothing of his father's identity. When Anthony died, Douglass was given to Mrs. Lucretia Auld, wife of Captain Thomas Auld. Mrs. Auld then sent Douglass to Baltimore to serve the Captain's brother, Hugh Auld. When Douglass was about twelve, Hugh Auld's wife, Sophia, broke the law by teaching Douglass some letters of the alphabet. Thereafter, as detailed in his Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (published in 1845), Douglass succeeded in learning to read from white children in the neighborhood in which he lived, and by observation of writings of the men with whom he worked. Douglass later referred to the lessons he received from Sophia Auld in his first abolitionist speech. In 1833, Auld sent him to work for Edward Covey, a poor farmer who had a reputation as a \"slave-breaker,\" where he was whipped regularly. In 1837, Douglass met Anna Murray, a free African-American, in Baltimore while he was still held in slavery. They were married soon after he obtained his freedom; Douglass escaped slavery on September 3, 1838 boarding a train to Havre de Grace, Maryland dressed in a sailor's uniform and carrying identification papers provided by a free black seaman. After crossing the Susquehanna River by ferry boat at Havre de Grace, Douglass continued by train to Wilmington, Delaware. From there Douglass went by steamboat to \"Quaker City\" Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His escape to freedom eventually led him to New York, the entire journey taking less than twenty-four hours.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e\n    Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e\n    \u003cbr \/\u003e\n    For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e\n    please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $8.00","offer_id":97498,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50713572,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"  Print $25.00","offer_id":1475012,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1131_Frederick_Douglass_2009.jpg?v=1571438530"},{"product_id":"dr-martin-luther-king-jr-1137","title":"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #1137","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\" A man can't ride your back\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;unless it's bent.\"\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social \nactivist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement \nfrom the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968.

Wells was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Her father (James Wells) was a carpenter and her mother ( Elizabeth\"Lizzie Bell\" Warrenton Wells ) was a professional cook. Her parents were slaves but the family achieved freedom in 1865. When Wells was 16 both her parents and an older brother died of yellow fever during an epidemic that swept the South. At a meeting following the funeral, friends and relatives decided that the five remaining Wells children should be farmed out to various aunts and uncles. Wells was devastated by the idea and to keep the family together, dropped out of high school, and found employment as a teacher in a local black school. In 1880, Wells moved to Memphis, where she continued teaching. During the summer sessions, she attended Fisk University in Nashville. Wells held strong political opinions and she upset many people with her views on women's rights. When she was 24, she wrote, \"I will not begin at this late day by doing what my soul abhors; sugaring men, weak deceitful creatures, with flattery to retain them as escorts or to gratify a revenge.\" Wells became a public figure in Memphis when in 1884 she led a campaign against segregation on the local railway. In 1884, she was asked by the conductor of the Chesapeake, Ohio \u0026amp; South Western Railroad Company to give up her seat on the train to a white man and ordered into the smoking or \"Jim Crow\" car, which was already crowded with other passengers. The federal Civil Rights Act of 1875 banning discrimination on the basis of race, creed or color, in theaters, hotels, transport and other public accommodations, had just been declared unconstitutional in the Civil Rights Cases (1883). So, several railroad companies defied this congressional mandate of the 1875 Act and racially segregated their passengers. Wells refused to give up her seat, 71 years before Rosa Parks, and the conductor, who was assisted by two other men, dragged her out of the car. When she returned to Memphis, she immediately hired an attorney to sue the railroad. She won her case in the local circuit court, but the railroad company appealed to the Supreme Court of Tennessee, which reversed the lower court's ruling, in 1887. During her participation in women's suffrage parades, her refusal to stand in the back because she was black resulted in the beginning of her media publicity. In 1889, she became co-owner and editor of an anti-segregationist newspaper based in Beale Street in Memphis. In 1892, however, she was forced to leave Memphis because her editorials in the paper, Free Speech, were seen as too agitating. 1892 was the same year that she published her famous pamphlet, Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases. In 1895, she published A Red Record, which documented her campaign against lynching. In 1895, in Chicago, she married attorney Ferdinand Lee Barnett, who founded and edited the Chicago Conservator, the city's first black newspaper. The couple had four children.Their children were Charles, Ferdinand, Ida, and Alfreda. Although Wells tried to retire from public life to raise her children, she soon returned to her campaign for equal rights. In 1906, she joined with W.E.B. Du Bois to promote the Niagara Movement, a group which advocated full civil rights for Blacks. In 1910, Wells helped form the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (the NAACP). She never obtained a position of leadership within the NAACP, perhaps because she opposed Booker T. Washington's moderate position that blacks focus on economic gains rather than social and political equality with whites. Or perhaps it was because at this time women did not have such power. She founded the Alpha Suffrage Club of Chicago, the first black suffrage organization in 1913, and from l913-16 worked as a probation officer in Chicago. The poet Langston Hughes said her activities in the field of social work laid the groundwork for the Urban League. In 1930, she ran for the Illinois state legislature, one of the first black women ever to run for public office. She died in Chicago, Illinois, where a public housing complex was later named in her honor. There is also a high school named after her, on Hayes Street in San Francisco, California. After her retirement, Wells wrote her autobiography, Crusade for Justice (1928). She died of uremia on March 25, 1931. Throughout her life, Wells was militant in her demands for equality and justice for African-Americans, and insisted that the African-American community must win justice through its own efforts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $8.00","offer_id":97515,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50715492,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"Print  $25.00","offer_id":1476082,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1138_Ida_B._Wells_96a66424-9ee4-4b91-a699-e90a7a3b1232.jpg?v=1571438530"},{"product_id":"fannie-lou-hamer-1139","title":"Fannie Lou Hamer #1139","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFannie Lou Hamer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eI am sick\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e and tired of being\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e sick and tired.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e On Fannie Lou Hamer’s tombstone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFannie Lou Hamer (born Fannie Lou Townsend on October 6, 1917 – March 14, 1977) was an American voting rights activist and civil rights leader.

She was born in New York and was sold several times before escaping to freedom with an infant daughter in 1827. She worked as a house- keeper, lived in a religious commune, and eventually became a traveling speaker and preacher. Although she could not read or write, Truth was a captivating speaker: she reportedly stood nearly six feet tall and was a spirited evangelist who spoke out for women's rights and against slavery. Prompted by religious feelings, she changed her name to Sojourner Truth in 1843. Her memoir The Narrative of Sojourner Truth (as told to author Olive Gilbert) was published in 1850 and helped establish her in the public mind. The next year, at a women's rights convention in Akron, Ohio, she gave her famous speech, \"Ain't I A Woman,\" a short but stirring challenge to the notion that men were superior to women. During the Civil War she worked to support black Union soldiers, and after the war she continued to travel and preach on spiritual topics and as an advocate for the rights of blacks and women. \n\u003ch3 style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr \/\u003e\nPrint with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cbr \/\u003e\nFor 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr \/\u003e\nplease call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $8.00","offer_id":97521,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50715632,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"  $25.00","offer_id":1478902,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1140_SOJOURNER_TRUTH.jpg?v=1571438530"},{"product_id":"booker-t-washington-1142","title":"Booker T.

Rap Brown (born October 4, 1943) came to prominence in the 1960s as a civil rights worker, black activist, and the Justice Minister of the Black Panther Party. He is perhaps most famous for his proclamation during that period that \"violence is as American as cherry pie\", as well as once stating that \"If America don't come around, we're gonna' burn it down\". Brown was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as Hubert Gerold Brown, and now goes by the name Jamil Abdullah al-Amin. His activism in the civil rights movement included involvement with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), of which he was named chairman in 1967. That same year, he was arrested in Cambridge, Maryland, and charged with \"inciting to riot\" as a result of a fiery speech he gave there. He left the SNCC and joined the Black Panthers in 1968. He appeared on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List after avoiding trial on charges of inciting riot and of carrying a gun across state lines. He was arrested after a shoot-out in 1971 in New York. He spent five years (1971-1976) in the Attica Prison after a robbery conviction. While in prison, Brown converted to Islam and changed his name to Jamil Abdullah al-Amin. After his release, he opened a grocery store in Atlanta, Georgia and became a Muslim spiritual leader, preaching against drugs and gambling. He also became leader of the National Ummah, one of America's largest black Muslim groups. In 2002, he was found guilty of killing Ricky Leon Kinchen, a Fulton County, Georgia sheriff's deputy, and wounding another officer in a gunbattle at his store. Both officers were black [1]. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, and is currently serving his sentence at Georgia State Prison in Reidsville, Georgia. However, there is considerable controversy as to whether or not al-Amin was the shooter. Supporters of al-Amin have asserted that another man, Otis Jackson, who confessed to the shooting (but later recanted) is the real shooter. Supporters assert that the investigation and trial was plagued by irregularities, including the suppression of evidence. Some feel that al-Amin's conviction is politically motivated. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $7.00","offer_id":97525,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50715812,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"","offer_id":1475122,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1143_H_rap_brown_2009.jpg?v=1571438530"},{"product_id":"thurgood-marshall-1144","title":"Thurgood Marshall #1144","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\" None of us got where we are solely by pulling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: normal;\"\u003eourselves up by our bootstraps.

Prior to being a jurist, he was a lawyer who was best remembered for his high success rate in arguing before the Supreme Court and for his victory in the Brown v. Board of Education case. Marshall was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 2, 1908. His original name was Thoroughgood but he shortened it to Thurgood in second grade. His father, William Marshall, instilled in him an appreciation for the Constitution of the United States and the rule of law. Additionally, as a child, he was punished for his school misbehavior by being forced to read the Constitution, which he later said piqued his interest in the document. Marshall was the grandson of a slave. Marshall was married twice; to Vivian \"Buster\" Burey from 1929 until her death from cancer in February 1955 and to Cecilia \"Cissy\" Suyat from December 1955 until his own death in 1993. He had two sons from his second marriage [1]; Thurgood Marshall Jr., a former top aide to President Bill Clinton, and John W. Marshall, who is a former United States Marshals Service Director, and since 2002 has served as Virginia Secretary of Public Safety under Governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine. \n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $7.00","offer_id":97527,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50715862,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"","offer_id":1479022,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1144_Thurgood_Marshall_2009.jpg?v=1571438530"},{"product_id":"charles-drew-m-d-1146","title":"Charles Drew M.D. #1146","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\n  \u003ch1\u003eDr. Charles Drew\u003c\/h1\u003e\n  \u003ch1\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h1\u003e\n  \u003ch1\u003e\nblood bank inventor \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e\u0026nbsp;It's impossible to determine how many hundreds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e\u0026nbsp;of thousawould have lost their lives without the\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \n  \n  \u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e\u0026nbsp;contributions of African-American inventor Dr.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \n  \n  \u003ch2\u003e\u0026nbsp;Charles Drew.

He is claimed by Grimshaw to have been born in Barbados, B.W.I. on September 12, 1748, although no record of this has ever been found. He is also claimed to have arrived in Boston from Africa in 1765 and sold to one William Hall who freed him in 1770. There were a number of Prince Halls in Boston at this period and the Certificate of Manumission deposited in the Boston Athenaeum Library, dated 9 April 1770, cannot be positively identified as referring to Prince Hall. In 1787, as a property owner and registered voter, he campaigned for the establishment of schools for Negro children in Boston, opened a school in his own home, and successfully petitioned the Massachusetts legislature to protect free Negroes from kidnapping and being sold into slavery. During the Revolutionary War he served in the Continental Army and is believed to have fought at Bunker Hill. In his last published speech, his charge to African Lodge in June 1797, Hall spoke of mob violence against blacks, councelling patience. Although Grimshaw claims that Hall was a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church there is no record of this, while a deposition, which is recorded in the Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Register of Deeds, made by Prince Hall in August 1807, states that he was a leather-dresser by trade; that he was 'about seventy'; and that in November 1762 he had been received into the full communion of the Congregational Church. The alleged patent appointing Prince Hall as Provincial Grand Master for North America appears to have been another of Grimshaw's inventions. Initiated into Lodge No 441 with fourteen others, the lodge granted Prince Hall and his brethren the authority to meet as African Lodge No. 1 (Under Dispensation). Hall petitioned the Premier Grand Lodge of England for a warrant which was granted on September 20, 1784 and delivered in Boston on April 29, 1787. Out of this lodge, the African Grand Lodge of North America was formed on June 24, 1791 in Boston. The year following Prince Hall's death, as a memorial to him, and by an act of the General Assembly of the Craft, the name was changed to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. The original Charter No. 459 has long since been made secure between heavy plate glass and is kept in a fire-proof vault in a downtown Boston bank. His obituary in the Boston Gazette for Monday, 7 December 1807 notes his age as 72 which would infer a birth date of about the year 1735. His gravestone mistakenly notes the date of the published notice rather than his actual death the previous Friday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e\nPrint with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFor 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e\nplease call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $8.00","offer_id":97538,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50716142,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"  Print $25.00","offer_id":1478662,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1148_Prince_Hall_2009.jpg?v=1571438530"},{"product_id":"marcus-garvey-1149","title":"Marcus Garvey #1149","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e“ The person who fails to be true to himself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e in taking the initiative to do things for self\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e will ultimately find out that he or she has been\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e a sucker for others.  Always surround yourself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e with the talent of being able to do by yourself.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e so as not to be too dependent.”\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarcus Mosiah Garvey National Hero of Jamaica (August 17, 1887– June 10, 1940) was a publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, Black nationalist, and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL). Garvey, born in St. Ann's Bay, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica, is best remembered as an important proponent of the Back-to-Africa movement, which encouraged those of African descent to return to their ancestral homelands. This movement would eventually inspire other movements, ranging from the Nation of Islam, to the Rastafari movement, which proclaims Garvey to be a prophet.

The Moorish Science Temple of America is an American\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ereligion founded in the early 20th-century by Timothy Drew.  He based it\u003cbr\u003e on the belief that African Americans had descended from the Moors \u003cbr\u003e and were originally Muslims.  Drew put together elements of major \u003cbr\u003e traditions to develop a message of personal transformation, racial \u003cbr\u003e pride and uplift.  Founded in New Jersey in 1913, by self-proclaimed\u003cbr\u003e Prophet Drew Ali (born Timothy Drew in the United States), the \u003cbr\u003e Moorish Science Temple blossomed in Chicago and other major \u003cbr\u003e cities during the late 1920s. During this time, the African American\u003cbr\u003e population and culture of the North and Midwest was increasing\u003cbr\u003e rapidly as a result of the Great Migration from the South.  Its \u003cbr\u003e creation can be seen as part of the era's search for identity as \u003cbr\u003e African Americans sought to establish themselves in new regions\u003cbr\u003e of the United States, at a time when racial discrimination and \u003cbr\u003e segregation were severe.  Membership in the Moorish Science \u003cbr\u003e Temple gave people a positive community in which to build their\u003cbr\u003e lives.  As in Protestant sects, competing factions developed, especially \u003cbr\u003e after the death of the charismatic founder Noble Drew Ali in 1929. \u003cbr\u003e Members followed various leaders into different groups, but the\u003cbr\u003e main body of the Moorish Science Temple continued.  In the 1930s,\u003cbr\u003e membership was estimated at 30,000, with one-third of them\u003cbr\u003e in Chicago.  The founding of the Nation of Islam also created \u003cbr\u003e competition for members.  The Moors continued to increase mem-\u003cbr\u003e bers in the postwar years, but at a slower rate.  By the late 20th \u003cbr\u003e century, demographic and cultural changes had decreased the \u003cbr\u003e attraction of young people to the Moorish Science Temple.  In the \u003cbr\u003e early 2000s, it is estimated that there may be 1 million card-carrying \u003cbr\u003e Moors in the United States.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 7.00","offer_id":97542,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50716232,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"  Print $15.00","offer_id":1477782,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1150_Noble_Drew_Ali_2009.jpg?v=1571438530"},{"product_id":"dorothy-height-1152","title":"Dorothy Height #1152","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaption from poster__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDorothy Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFor more than half a century ,\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDorothy Height’s leadership\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ehas advanced the liberation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003estruggle of black women.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShe has indeed carried out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ethe dream of her friend and\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ementor, Mary McLeod Bethune,\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eto leave no one behind.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDorothy Irene Height (born March 24, 1912) is an African American administrator, educator, and social activist. Height was born in Richmond, Virginia. At an early age, she moved with her family to Rankin, Pennsylvania. While in high school, Height was awarded a scholarship to Barnard College for her oratory skills but upon arrival, was denied entrance (at the time, the college only admitted two African Americans per academic year and Dorothy had arrived after the other two admittees). She later pursued studies at New York University where she earned her master's degree in psychology. Height began her career working as a caseworker with the New York City Welfare Department, but at the age of twenty-five, she began her career as a civil rights activist when she joined the National Council of Negro Women. She fought for equal rights for both African Americans and women, and in 1944 she joined the national staff of the YWCA. She remained active with the organization until 1977, and while there she developed leadership training programs and interracial and ecumenical education programs. In 1957, Height was named president of the National Council of Negro Women, a position she held until 1997. During the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Height organized \"Wednesdays in Mississippi\", which brought together black and white women from the north and South to create a dialogue of understanding. Leaders of the United States regularly took her counsel, including First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and Height also encouraged President Dwight D. Eisenhower to desegregate schools and President Lyndon B. Johnson to appoint African American women to positions in government. She has served on a number of committees, including as a consultant on African affairs to the secretary of state, the President's Committee on the Employment of the Handicapped and the President's Committee on the Status of Women. She has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Freedom From Want Award and the Spingarn Medal from the NAACP. She has also been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow available 11\" x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e Print with Black Frames $25.00\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For 24\" x 36' Size prints\u003cbr\u003e please call 678-608-7892 to order\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Emancipation2000","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print $ 10.00","offer_id":97546,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" x 17\" Print with Black Frames $25.00","offer_id":50716792,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"  Print $25.00","offer_id":1474102,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/2488\/products\/1152._Dorothy_Height.jpg?v=1571438530"}],"url":"https:\/\/emancipation2000.myshopify.com\/collections\/educators.oembed?page=9","provider":"emancipation2000.com ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
