Reposted from @capitalb_atl A task force created in 2021 is gaining momentum after commissioners approved $250,000 to research the compensation of descendants of formerly enslaved Black county residents. Resident Elon Osby said she’d like to see cash payments go to those whose families were forced to give up their land without fair compensation — a situation that she's familiar with. “I would want it to be in dollars and cents,” she said. “I would be more focused on making my children and my grandchildren whole, the way I would like to see them.” Click on the link in our bio to see how the commissioners plan to use the new funds.

Reposted from @kapsi1911 ‪In recognition of Black History Month, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. continues to recognize a few of its member's “Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.” #KappaHistoryIsBlackHistory Rev. Ralph Abernathy (1948 initiate of the Beta Zeta of Kappa Alpha Psi) was a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and beyond. As the young pastor of First Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL, he and Martin Luther King, Jr. were among the leaders of the 1955-56 Montgomery Bus Boycott organized in response to the arrest of Rosa Parks. In 1961, Abernathy's First Baptist Church was the site of the May 21 "siege," where an angry mob of white segregationists surrounded 1,500 people inside the sanctuary. At one point, the situation seemed so dire that Abernathy and King considered giving themselves up to the mob to save the sanctuary's men, women, and children. On May 25, Abernathy was arrested on breach of peace charges after escorting William Sloane Coffin's Connecticut Freedom Ride to the Montgomery Greyhound Bus Terminal, neither the first nor the last instance of civil disobedience in a lifetime of activism. After Dr. King's assassination on April 4, 1968, Abernathy took up the leadership of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) Poor People's Campaign and led the 1968 March on Washington. Ralph Abernathy died in 1990. Kevin Scott Grand Historian‬
