Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

#OTD in 1961, AP names Wilma Rudolph Female Athlete of the Year for the 2nd consecutive year

Rudolph overcame childhood polio to become the fastest woman runner in the world; first American woman to win 3 track/field gold medals in a single Olympiad, Rome 1960.

#WomenInSport #champion #inspiration
Black-and-white photograph of Wilma Rudolph crossing the finish line to win the women’s 4×100 m relay gold for the United States at the 1960 Rome Olympics on September 8, 1960. The 20-year-old Tennessee State Tigerbelle leans forward in full stride, baton raised triumphantly, as she becomes the first American woman to win three track-and-field gold medals in a single Games. The packed Stadio Olimpico blurs behind her in this iconic moment of speed and history. Smiling portrait of Wilma Rudolph proudly holding up 2 of her 3 gold medals with the 3rd medal worn like a necklace. All 3 from the 1960 Rome Olympics—won in the 100 m, 200 m, and 4×100 m relay.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.

Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.
