I Grow Here... Regrann From @saintmarklr - This Month We Turned Our Attention To Highlight Black History

Regrann from @history - Schoolhouse Rock! began as a way to help the son of Madison Avenue advertiser David McCall with his homework. The story goes that his son was having trouble remembering the multiplication tables, but knew the lyrics to his favorite songs .And so, McCall called a copywriter friend of his named George Newall who was also a pianist and they enlisted the late composer Bob Dorough. The first song recorded was "Three Is a Magic Number", and the group compiled and released a children's record. Then someone suggested adding animated shorts to the songs, and Schoolhouse Rock! was born, debuting in 1973. Though the show technically ended before the 1980s, syndication meant that children have been singing their way to knowledge. What’s your favorite song from the show? #SchoolhouseRock #Imjustabill #conjunctionjunction #threeisamagicnumber

The other side of the story... @Regrann from @time - "It humbled me a whole lot, just seeing how a picture like that can reveal so much," said officer Darius Nash during an Aug. 14 portrait session with @ruddyroye in #Charlottesville. Two days earlier, a picture of Nash patrolling a KKK rally in July had found new online momentum as the Virginia college town erupted over a rally of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Klansmen. The image was shared widely online, with some of those who did so appearing to think it was made that day.⠀ ⠀ In the uncomfortable haze of live breaking news it became the latest in a long line of photographs to be grabbed and shared without credit or context. Social networks are now minefields for information-gatherers. Photographers lose control of their work while those who rip and share it can reap the rewards: retweets, likes, followers. Images are separated from their intended meaning, and can even take on a new one. Nash, a school resource officer at Charlottesville High School, told Roye "it also brought my family closer in that they were able to see what I and other officers have to go through on a daily basis."⠀ ⠀ Read the full story about the viral photo and the search for the photographer on TIME.com.⠀ ⠀ Photograph by @ruddyroye for TIME

@Regrann from @theblaquelioness - "Some historians have stated it would have been impossible for a person who neither reads nor writes to have related the stories of the Civil War in such detail as Magee without having served in the conflict. One historian stated that Magee talked with 'rare intelligence and seldom rambled' in telling of his participation in the Civil War. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ➖➖➖ He lived to be, according to history and the data that we’ve collected throughout the Internet, he was 130 years of age when he passed away in 1971. Sylvester Magee had no birth certificate, but chancery court records in Covington County list him and his father as being passed on to the next of kin when their owner died in 1859. Mr. Magee always insisted his birthday was May 29th, 1841. Now as if being 130 years old when he died weren’t enough, there are a couple of OTHER significant details about his life and death that sets him apart. Not only was that old, but he was the last American slave (slavery victim in America) to die. And, because he did service with the Union Army in the siege of Vicksburg, he was the last Union Veteran to die. And since he started the war as an arms bearer to his master on the side of the South, he is perhaps also the last CONFEDERATE veteran to die. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ He’s listed in the book 'Black Confederates.' His accounts of the Union Army crossing the Big Black River after the Battle of Champion Hill on their way into Vicksburg convinced historian A. P. Andrews he had to have been there, since Mr. Magee couldn’t read or write. How else could he have known all the minute details and names of the officers? 😊 And don’t forget, he also lived to be 130 years of age." ♥️ Source Sylvester Magee’s unmarked grave MSNewsNow.com -- blackthen.com ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #SylvesterMagee #BlackHistory #theblaquelioness - #regrann

Lord bless this food and the hands that prepared it...Let it be used for the nourishing my body which is then used for the uplifting and the building of Your kingdom...In the name of Your darling Son and my Lord and personal Saviour Jesus the Christ AMEN!!!

Too relevant.

Yea...Some times I fall off...But I will always remember my purpose... Let me break it down for you! First off as a believer you must have Christ at the center of all you do..Then your roots must go deep into the Word of God...I know a lot of Christian who try to establish a horizontal ministry (reaching others) having never themselves plumbing the depths of God's true treasure...My IG tl is full of these..🙄 then you must establish a vertical relationship with God through continual prayer...from there then you reach out vertically to others through fellowship and witnessing... There is a purpose and an order to this Christian life thing...Please stop being aimless wonders and chose to become true Disciples of Christ!! 😇😇😇

I was told this as a kid...And it has guide my life ever since " the only true form of discipline is self discipline"

I can't speak for y'all...but this still burn my up...this is top 5 kid diss all time and 4 and 5 are all taken and # is yo momma jokes! https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wwTkMn4ZQ/?igshid=oxkgpghlgpiz
