They dug up the bodies and worked for two weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 3,000 Black children, where they marched, sang and celebrated.” #moorinfo via: @moorinfo2 #olmecian *********** From Huffington Post On May 1, 1865, freed slaves gathered in Charleston, South Carolina to commemorate the death of Union soldiers and the end of the American Civil War. Three years later, General John Logan issued a special order that May 30, 1868 be observed as Decoration Day, the first Memorial Day — a day set aside “for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land.” At the time, the nation was reunited politically, but it remained culturally divided, and so did Memorial Day observations. In the North, the federal government created national cemeteries for men who died in the war, while state governments from New York to Michigan gradually made Decoration Day an official holiday throughout the 1870s. In the South, from April to June, women dressed in white and knelt beneath statues of fallen Confederate leaders; they told stories about the men who appeared in portraits lining the walls of many Southern homes. By the early 20th century, as Americans faced enemies abroad, many of the surviving Civil War veterans recognized their shared wartime history and reconciled their differences — turning Memorial Day into a national holiday. #memorial #history #memorialdayweekend #blackhistory #huffingtonpost https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-FhIDl4DH/?igshid=1oef7ts9i7cs

@Regrann from @olmecian - #repost (@moorinformation) "Coupons are for more than just saving money for a San Antonio woman who is using her shopping hobby to aid those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Kimberly Gager saw a great need and decided to use coupons to fill her garage with diapers, soap, toothpaste, detergent and other personal hygiene supplies. Through word of mouth and social media, families have been able to receive much needed supplies. Gager has been able to help nearly 30 different families and groups. Bridget Martinez and her family were able to receive diapers and other supplies from Gager. The Martinez family's home was severely damaged by the storm. "I looked her up on Facebook, sent her a message this morning, and she responded right away. Two hours later, here she is," Martinez, 30, told ABC News. "I am very grateful. These are necessities that we don't have the cash for right now."" #moorinfo - #regrann

#Repost with @moorinformation "The statue of the woman is nearly 23 feet tall. Her head is wrapped and she stares straight ahead while sitting barefoot, but regally, in a wide-backed chair, clutching a torch in one hand and a tool used to cut sugar cane in the other. In Denmark, where most of the public statues represent white men, two artists on Saturday unveiled the striking statue that portrays a 19th-century rebel queen who led a fiery revolt against Danish colonial rule in the Caribbean. It’s being billed as Denmark’s first public monument to a black woman. The sculpture was inspired by Mary Thomas, who with two other female leaders known as “Queens” unleashed an uprising in 1878 called the “Fireburn.” Fifty plantations and most of the town of Frederiksted on the west coast of St. Croix were torched, in what has been called the largest labor revolt in Danish colonial history." #moorinfo #2frochicks
