On this date [June 4] in 1972, Angela Davis was acquitted of all charges stemming from a failed escape and kidnap attempt in the Marin County, CA’s Hall of Justice two years earlier.

In the escape, kidnap attempt, and shooting, the trial judge and three others were killed. Though not at the crime scene, Davis was implicated when police claimed that the guns used had been registered in her name. Davis fled via underground and was consequently listed on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted Criminals list, setting off one of the most intensive manhunts in recent American history.  [Continue reading at the African American Registry.]

What to Do if Someone Asks: ‘Why Isn’t There a White History Month?’ ↘

thechanelmuse:

Three ways to respond:

“History is white history. The ‘white’ is silent, like the ‘K’ in ‘Knowledge’”.

- “I agree, the celebration of white history should be confined to one month of the year.”

“Every month is white history month”.
