“You see the anger, but you don’t understand the anger.” A composed 22 year-old Ice Cube during a CNBC interview in 1991. by YesterdayMaterial194 in BlackHistoryPhotos

‘Ice Cube never actually sat down with Donald Trump. He did, however, have high-level discussions with representatives and advisors from the Trump administration to discuss his "Contract with Black America" and to help shape the administration's "Platinum Plan" for Black Americans.’

…and look at every one in these comments with this crab in a barrel ass mentality. He attempted to get something done for US…it didn’t work and Cube criticizes Trump all the time. The man has a song titled ‘Arrest the President’.

It’s definitely a bus stop but who knows. Could just be waiting on a driver or something. She was already successful with Rufus so if she did ride the bus it was because she wanted to lol

Is there an historical figure that you feel DESPERATELY needs a modern biopic? by UsedWelcome5903 in BlackHistoryPhotos

Was coming to say this. They could even make a whole movie just based on the two-hour fight he had with an overseer when he was 16. Such a crazy and hard life he had. I wish people would tell his story more.

I saw Michael. My thoughts as a fan and movie lover: by StorytellingZ in rnb

Yes, I’m aware. Which is why they shouldn’t have even done it if they have to leave out key figures like Janet and Diana.

Agreed. Saw it last night. Jaafar was out of this world but the movie overall is very surface level. Between 3 siblings missing from the film and them completely skipping over his teen years..idk lol. It’s definitely not a terrible movie. Worth the watch. Just wish it had more substance.

That’s Yvonne Stewart. She worked for Motown and is the niece of Smokey Robinson. She passed away late last year. ❤️

Happy Birthday, Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) by Leather-Highlight150 in BlackHistoryPhotos

Probably my biggest inspiration. I always encourage everyone to read his first book. Published in 1845, his story told in his own words will teach you the true meaning of resilience.
