assata was the best of us. a revolutionary who was determined to be free by any means necessary. our north star forever and always. assata taught us that we will win our liberation and that the most important thing in the world for us is to struggle. rest in power assata shakur
Tweet from Tanisha long with pictures of Assata “Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her. Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken. Rest Free, Assata.”

Writer, poet and social reformer Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) was born to free Black parents 200 years ago today in Baltimore, Maryland. She was a leading campaigner for abolition, women's suffrage and temperance. She lived the latter part of her life in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
A reproduction of an engraved portrait of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper tops a plaque commemorating her on the façade of the Baltimore Convention Center in her birth city of Baltimore, Maryland. The engraving was originally published in William Still’s 1872 book THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. (Andy Bass photo) A plaque inscribed with a narrative of the life of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper adorns the façade of the Baltimore Convention Center outside the Executive Offices on South Sharp Street. It was donated by the George Moses Horton Society for the Study of African American Poetry. (Andy Bass photo) A Pennsylvania State Historical Marker commemorating Frances Ellen Watkins Harper stands in front of her former home at 1006 Bainbridge Street in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia. It was dedicated by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in 1992. (Andy Bass photo) The Frances Ellen Watkins Harper House stands at 1006 Bainbridge Street in the Bella Vista Neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The social reformer purchased the 3-story brick rowhouse in 1871 and owned it until her death in 1911. It was her primary residence for most of that period. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 and added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 2021. In each case, the property was deemed significant because of its association with Harper. The building remains a private residence today. (Andy Bass photo)

“all men are created equal” was a lie even then. they didn’t mean:

-enslaved Africans
-indigenous people
-women
-poor whites without property

they meant land-owning white men. and even many of them were on the fence.

A birthday present for Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s 200th: you can now read Chapter 1 of my new book Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s Civil War and Reconstruction online for free for a limited time! Please share widely. Book info in the comments. Check out: academic.oup.com/book/60645/c...
The cover of Eric Gardner’s book Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s Civil War and Reconstruction. On a blue background, the largest portion of the cover reproduces a C19 engraving of African American author-activist Frances Ellen Watkins Harper from William Still’s 1872 The Underground Rail Road. The portrait shows her head and upper body. She is wearing traveling clothes, and she is in three-quarters profile, facing to the left. Her hair is pulled back in her signature chignon, and she looks ahead with wisdom and determination. The engraving lines can be seen throughout the portrait, especially on her skin and her dress. A mostly-opaque yellow rectangle rests perhaps two-thirds of the way down the cover below Harper’s chin and neck. Here, inside a thin brown border, the words “Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s” are offered in brown all caps, followed by the words “Civil War and Reconstruction” in smaller white all caps, followed by a partial centered line, followed by the author’s name in smaller brown all caps.
