The Magical Art of Various Hair Expressions
Comment#ICYM our previous discussion, be sure to check out "The Art of Healing!"
"Black history tells powerful stories of innovation, perseverance, triumph, and celebration but also stories of loss, tragedy, trauma, and pain. Historically, African Americans have turned to art for its inexplicable healing powers. There is healing in African American spirituals and in praise dance; in African drums; and in beatboxing, in storytelling, and in rhythm and blues." - Ashley Tucker, LOC
"But there is also healing in the beautiful experience of black hair beading, braiding, combing, pressing, and weaving. It's our way of connecting our spirits and elevating ourselves during times of pain and struggle." - N.Parks

We Celebrate Inventor Garrett Morgan & His Many Contributions To Humanity #BHM
Comment🚦#DYK, Garrett Morgan, the son of former slaves, invented the 1st Gas Mask and 1st Three-Position Traffic Signal?!
"Morgan’s most prolific accomplishments came in his role as an inventor. He received a patent for the first gas mask invention in 1914, but it wasn’t until two years later that the idea really took off. When a group of workers got stuck in a tunnel below Lake Erie after an explosion, Morgan and a team of men donned the masks to help get them out. After the rescue was a success, requests for the masks began pouring in.
Similarly, Garrett Morgan’s other famous invention – the traffic signal – was also invented to help save lives. After witnessing an accident on a roadway, Morgan decided a device was needed to keep cars, buggies and pedestrians from colliding. His traffic signal was designed to stand on a street corner and notify vehicles and walkers whether they should stop or go. After receiving a patent in 1923, the rights to the invention were eventually purchased by GE." - US Dept. of Transportation
