#Repost @essence (with @report.for.insta) ... On this day 107 years ago, the mother of the Civil Rights Movement, Rosa Parks, was born. Rosa’s activism didn't start with the Montogomery Bus Boycott. She worked on justice for #RecyTaylor and to free the #ScottsboroBoys. She wasn't new to this, she was true to this. 🎂 (at Downtown, Durham, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8J051eJrLd/?igshid=gbp03okhhlts

Where was #MeToo and White Feminist when Ms. #RecyTaylor was raped by six white men in Alabama? https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9BWq8gJ83/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tkb7w03kw28b

🎬🎥✊🏽 #ArtIsAWeapon Last night I attended a screening of the @augustafilms documentary "The Rape of Recy Taylor." I URGE everyone to see this film and learn about Ms. Taylor's story, which has gone largely unknown despite her courageous fight for justice in racist 1944 Alabama. The documentary will be available on digital platforms and on demand streaming beginning March 20: www.therapeofrecytaylor.com ___________________ Following a brutal sexual assault by six white boys, Recy Taylor spoke up - an act of bravery and defiance, particularly during the Jim Crow era. A young Rosa Parks (before she sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott) assisted Mrs. Taylor with getting her story out and pursuing her case in court. Although it is historically significant, many people are just learning about Recy Taylor's activism. @oprah acknowledged Mrs. Taylor in her acceptance speech at this year's @goldenglobes (https://youtu.be/fN5HV79_8B8). Mrs. Taylor's case was a pivatol moment in the early civil rights movement and for Black women sexual assault survivors. I remain humbled and in awe of the countless Black women who persevered, organized, strategized, resisted and refused to back down. . . #recytaylor #therapeofrecytaylor #rosaparks #civilrightsmovement #WomensHistoryMonth #documentary #ICMPolitics #nancybuirski #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon (at NeueHouse)

🖤✊🏽🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #Honor, #respect and #gratitude to Mother #RosaParks, who was born on this day, February 4, in 1913. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in." "I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear." "Each person must live their life as a model for others." #Art by Lanre Adefioye  www.lanrestudio.com #RosaLouiseMcCauleyParks  #Rebel #Resistance #RecyTaylor #Organizer #BlackAmericanHero #FirstLadyofCivilRights #Justice #MotheroftheFreedomMovement #BlackHistoryMonth #Freedom #RosaParksDay #AmericanHero #TheElders #ClaudetteColvin #MontgomeryBusBoycott #LanreAdefioye #BlackArt #BlackArtists

@Regranned from @essence - Happy 105th Birthday, Rosa Parks. What many don’t realize is Parks’ history of activism doesn’t begin or end with the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Parks was a tireless social crusader even seeking justice for #recytaylor following her barbaric rape. For her life of service we will remain forever in her debt. Thank you Rosa; may you continue to #rip. - #regrann
