This was Arkansas, my friend. Here's an old news headline that tells of the electrocution of two Black suspects. 😔

When I research something in particular, I always find something else. It's always like that once I begin peeling away the layers of hidden history.

You're very welcome, Barbara.🙏🏽☺️💙

#KeepItWoke

Yep. 💯

They've been playing the "Black man did it" game for centuries.

Still playing it today.🙄

I posted a thread on Denton, TX last year, my friend.

Yeah, because it was the perfect excuse to seize Black-owned property.

They were like "So what her husband left. This is our chance to get rid of the n****rs and grab some land."

This is the pattern. This is exactly how it was done in every case where Black people were displaced.

You're welcome, Doc. 🙏🏽

Good morning.👊🏾☺️

Yep—Rosewood was part of the same pattern.

Black man accused of a crime against a White woman. Hell breaks loose.

In the case of Rosewood—the woman allegedly had an affair and covered it up by accusing a Black man of rape.

Whether its true or not—Black people were displaced.😪

#KeepItWoke

That's because it does.

The "Black guy did it" game has been played for centuries.

True story.

Good morning, Brother Patrick.👊🏾☺️

No—an ethnic cleansing of a town.

There's a difference, my friend.

#KeepItWoke

You're welcome, Kathleen. When White people question why do Black people argue for reparations—this story and others like it are the reason why.

#KeepItWoke

The families who fled lost their land and generational wealth forever. Catcher became an all-white "sundown town" for decades.

Do you see the pattern?

History often forgets these events, but remembering the truth of 1923 is essential.
