In 1857, Thomas Howland became Providence, RI's first Black elected official.

Later that year, he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wife & daughter after the Dred Scott case denied Black people protections of U.S. citizenship. He was denied a passport.

Museum Text:
Thomas Howland, the subject of this unusually expressive portrait, was a dock worker in Providence, Rhode lsland, In 1857 he became the city's first Black elected oficial when he was amed warden of its Third Ward. However, that same year he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wite and daughter, perhaps in response to the recent Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case that denied African Americans the protections of U.S. citizenship. Because of this decision, Howland's application for a passport was denied, despite his status as a free man with the right to vote in his home state (he did eventually make it to Liberia). Howland's confident posture echoes that of the earlier Portrait of a Gentleman shown nearby, the fashionable attire of both sitters serving to reinforce thelir self-possession.

Reminder that we had arsonists, power lines, lightning strikes, campfire embers for 100 yrs & whole cities didn’t burn down multiple times a year.

These are 100% climate fires caused by drought, extreme winds, more lightning etc.

News outlets pushing anything else r denying clear & simple science.

Authorities say they have arrested an arson suspect connected to the fire in the Palisades in January.

I had never heard of Harold Washington.

Excellent listen on @thisamericanlife.org : "This week, we bring you the story of Harold Washington, the greatest politician you've probably never heard of, and the backlash that ensued when he became Chicago's first Black mayor."

Spanish BlueSky spilled the tea on this lady as soon as the Nobel news dropped.

But she was endorsed by current U.S. regime leader earlier this year, that says it all.

Thomas Howland was was denied a passport even though he was free, could vote in his home state, and held office.

He was eventually able to emigrate to Liberia with his family.

This portrait was borrowed from the John Brown Museum for the #Superfine: Tailoring Black Style exhibit at The Met.

The pastor of the Good News Internat'l Ministries, Paul Mackenzie, convinced his followers that by starving themselves to death, they would meet Jesus.

His trial is just starting & more bodies are being found because his church is still active.

His lawyers are making it freedom of religion issue.
