A charter school in North Carolina is requiring Native boys to cut their hair. Should Native American boys be allowed to wear their hair long at school?

Just passed the site of the Combahee Ferry Raid on our way to Savannah. On June 2, 1863, Harriet Tubman became the first woman to lead a major military operation in the U.S. when she and 150 Black Union soldiers rescued more than 700 enslaved Gullah Geechee during the Civil War.

They had to portray Natives as “godless savages.” Because when you dehumanize an entire race of people — it makes it much more easier to genocide them. Native history IS U.S history. Teach it. All of it. To hopefully — prevent its repetition.

On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC. They sparked a national movement across the country. Instructions were simple: sit quietly and wait to be served. #BlackHistoryMonth

It isn’t always easy for Black men to talk openly about mental health. But organizations like Generation Chosen and community hubs like Onyx Barbers are changing that. Today, we sat down to speak about the change that’s happening – and about how, together, we can end the stigma.
