After fifty years of failing to convert Ethiopians,
the Portuguese sent a new group of Jesuits to Ethiopia in 1603,
including a priest named Pedro Paez,
whose diplomacy and sympathy for the
tenets of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church
enabled him to convert the emperor.

The #BrownvBoard ruling followed an arduous, spirited, and inspired legal strategy pioneered by Charles Hamilton Houston: taking aim at segregation and the pernicious precedent of Plessy v. Ferguson through a series of challenges throughout the country. #BlackHistoryMonth
The Supreme Court declared the longstanding doctrine “separate but equal” unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), one of the most important and celebrated legal cases in American history. #BlackHistoryMonth2019
Houston died in 1950, but his protégée Thurgood Marshall continued to carry the torch, litigating Brown, a coordinated effort which linked five lawsuits against school districts in Kansas, South Carolina, Delaware, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. #BHM
#Chesapeake watermen came to #NYC in early 1800s and founded Sandy Ground, the oldest continuously-settled, free Black community in the #USA. A #StatenIsland ferry being built will be named "Sandy Ground." portsidenewyork.org/portsidetanke/…

Oh. Right.
He’s persecuted because he’s a Trump supporter in a generation of Americans (17-30) that has resoundingly rejected Trump. Even though the generation is still majority white (barely).

#BlackHistoryMonth is an important annual recognition of the great contributions African Americans have made to our communities over the past year and throughout history.
Our nation is richer – culturally, economically, and socially – because of well-known trailblazers like the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie Robinson, and millions of others who make their mark by being excellent parents, friendly neighbors and good colleagues.
In February, we celebrate all they do to make Wisconsin and the United States a better place. #BlackHistoryMonth2019
