Maya Angelou's 𝘐 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 was first published in February 1969. First in her acclaimed 7-volume autobiographical series, the coming-of-age story details her early life while exploring themes of overcoming racism, trauma, and finding strength through #literature. #booksky #BHM
A composite image featuring a black-and-white portrait of Maya Angelou on the left, showing her as an older woman with short hair, gazing thoughtfully with a gentle, reflective expression. She wears a dark top and a long strand of white pearl beads. On the right is the vibrant orange book cover of her memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, displaying the title in white text, a stylized black silhouette of a bird in flight against an orange and yellow sunburst background, and a foreword credit to Oprah Winfrey. The two elements are arranged side by side with the photo of Maya Angelou within a white-bordered frame.

To think, when the immigrants 1st arrived here to “Discover” it’s people learned the NAs had a varied variety of languages along with the rest of America, Americans who spoke Spanish. English came much later, along with French and yet today English which belongs to Britain is claimed, by US? 🤔

Celebrating Mary Sherman Morgan--America's first female rocket scientist--on #NationalInventorsDay! She invented the liquid fuel Hydyne in 1957. Its most famous use came on 31 Jan 1958, when a Juno I rocket powered by Hydyne launched Explorer 1, America’s first successful satellite. #WomenInSTEM
Split-image historical photograph honoring Mary Sherman Morgan (1921–2004), the pioneering American rocket fuel scientist and America's first female rocket scientist, who invented the high-energy liquid propellant Hydyne in 1957 at Rocketdyne (North American Aviation). Hydyne (a blend of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and diethylenetriamine) provided the critical extra thrust needed for the Jupiter-C (later renamed Juno I) rocket to successfully launch Explorer 1, the United States' first satellite, into orbit on January 31, 1958—helping the U.S. catch up in the early Space Race. On the left: A black-and-white portrait of a young Mary Sherman Morgan in the 1950s, seated at a desk in an office or lab setting. She wears cat-eye glasses, a light-colored blouse, a necklace, and a ring, smiling warmly and looking just right of the camera. She sits in front of an open book and is holding a pencil, with office equipment in the background. On the right: A dramatic color night-launch photograph of the Jupiter-C rocket (with "UE" markings visible on the body) blasting off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 1958. The rocket stands tall against a dark sky, illuminated by intense flames and bright exhaust plumes at liftoff, with billowing orange-white fire and smoke at the base as it ascends, symbolizing the successful orbital insertion powered by Morgan's innovative Hydyne fuel. This pairing highlights her behind-the-scenes contributions to one of the defining moments in space history (often overlooked). #MaryShermanMorgan #Hydyne #Explorer1 #WomenInSTEM #SpaceRace #NASA #WomenInScienceDay #IDWGS

Audre Lorde understood what courage requires. She knew silence was never safety and that it was better to speak. An American writer, poet, professor, and civil rights activist who named injustice across race, gender, sexuality, and power. Black History. Always. 🖤 #SheShed #Voices4Victory
Color photograph of Audre Lorde looking directly at the camera. Overlaid text reads: “When we speak, we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.” Her name, Audre Lorde, appears beneath the quote.

We need to not just abolish the GOP, we need to abolish all parties. The whole electoral process is undermined when only 2 people are essentially "allowed" to win. It purposefully locks out other candidates, and creates the very scenario we're in today.

Jazz singer, composer & bandleader Blanche Calloway was born #OTD in 1902. Her #music career spanned 50+ years. First Black woman to lead an all-male #jazz orchestra (Joy Boys), she performed alongside musicians such as Cozy Cole, Chick Webb & Cab Calloway (younger brother whom she mentored). #BHM
Black-and-white vintage portrait of Blanche Calloway (1902–1978), the trailblazing Black jazz singer, composer, and bandleader, smiling brightly at the camera while holding a thin conductor's baton horizontally just under her chin with both hands. She has short wavy hair styled in elegant waves, arched eyebrows, dark lipstick. She wears an off-the-shoulder dress with lace detailing on the bodice and puffed short sleeves, set against a dark studio background. As the older sister of Cab Calloway and the first Black woman to lead an all-male jazz orchestra (Blanche Calloway and Her Joy Boys in the 1930s), she was a charismatic pioneer in jazz who mentored her brother and influenced the era's big band scene.

Opera singer Leontyne Price was born #OTD in 1927. She's 99 today! Rising to international acclaim in the 1950/60s, Price was the first Black woman prima donna (principal female singer) at the Metropolitan #Opera. She has won more Grammys (19) than any other classical singer. #legend #music #BHM
Black-and-white close-up portrait of legendary American soprano Leontyne Price, gazing upward with a dignified and expressive expression. She wears a dark headscarf (turban-style) framing her face, pearl earrings, and multiple strands of elegant pearl necklaces over a dark dress or top. The dramatic lighting highlights her strong features, poised neck, and commanding presence, evoking her iconic status as the first African American soprano to achieve international acclaim in opera. Born in 1927 in Laurel, Mississippi, Price made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1961 as Leonora in Verdi's Il Trovatore, became renowned for roles like Aida, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly, performed at La Scala in 1960, won 19 Grammy Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), and broke racial barriers as a trailblazing Black artist in classical music during the mid-20th century.

Edith Clarke, the first professional female electrical engineer in the US, was born #OTD in 1883. + Invented the Clarke calculator to solve electric power transmission problems faster + First woman to earn an MS in electrical engineering (EE) at MIT, 1919 + First woman EE professor, US #WomenInSTEM
Black-and-white vintage portrait photograph of Edith Clarke (1883–1959), the pioneering American electrical engineer, inventor of the Clarke Calculator (a graphical tool for solving power transmission problems), and the first woman to earn a master's degree in electrical engineering from MIT. She is shown in a close-up head-and-shoulders view against a dark, neutral background, gazing directly at the camera with a composed, intelligent expression. Clarke has distinctive curly hair neatly styled, and she wears thin, round pince-nez glasses perched on her nose with a thin bridge and side arms. She is dressed in a formal dark blouse or jacket. The classic early-to-mid-20th-century studio portrait style conveys her trailblazing role in electrical engineering and power systems innovation. #EdithClarke #WomenInEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #ClarkeCalculator #InventorsHallOfFame #MIT #MITAlum #PowerSystems
