Oh. I’m stupid. The Tulsa Race Massacre was May 31 and June 1.
So of course everyone is talking about it. It’s the memorial weekend of the Tulsa Race Massacre where they burned Black Wallstreet (yes, every time I post about it, I’ll reference it to Black Wallstreet, because I think every title about this should reference what this event means. White people were so threatened by Black success, they literally burned it and lynched everyone involved).
Read this article to find out what good documentaries you can watch this weekend. Then like, watch them. Reblog this post telling me what documentaries you plan on watching or something.
“Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten,”Silvers’ project that he developed with veteran Washington Post reporter DeNeen L. Brown and preeminent war crimes investigator Eric Stover. The film will air May 31 on PBS.
“Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre” (History, May 30), a two-hour film directed by Emmy winner Stanley Nelson (whose films include “Freedom Riders”) and Marco Williams and executive produced by NBA star Russell Westbrook, among others; “Dreamland: The Burning of Black Wall Street” (CNN, May 31),
the two-part docuseries “The Legacy of Black Wall Street” (premiering June 1 on Discovery+ and OWN).
On June 18, National Geographic will air another project featuring Brown, “Rise Again: Tulsa and the Red Summer.”
And we live in 2021. No excuses. Most of these are only 2 hours long. You can record it and watch it in smaller parts if you have no attention span like myself. (Actually smaller parts is easier for me to manage because it gives me time to process it.)
People assume the female body is PASSIVE. That milk ducts are acted upon, that the vagina is acted upon, that women do not have complex and powerful biological systems.
Rb again for the commentary
This whole thread is gold but that comment sums up so much of my frustration with possessing a female body. The assumption that conditions don’t matter, that mechanical action is all that’s required.
Don’t love the cis centric language here, but this is interesting!
