A couple days late on this, but an important read nonetheless.
"In short, identity and representation matter. How many Black girls even enter the sport in the future will be influenced by what they see as attainable or impossible."

In 1937, George Hardison made wrestling history as the first Black world champion, but his career was far from over. Part 2 of my biography of "Seelie Samara" continues as I trace his path around the globe.

With a final day of this year's #BlackHistoryMonth, I'd like to offer a link to a discussion I find both uplifting and wholesomely grounded.
It's a panel discussion of "Black and Buddhist: What #Buddhism Can Teach Us about Race, Resilience, Transformation, and Freedom" (in reference to a recent book of the same title).

Ob Denkmäler, Straßennamen oder Gebäude – der #Kolonialismus wirkte sich auch auf den öffentlichen Raum in Deutschland aus. Dieses koloniale Erbe wird zunehmend kritisch hinterfragt und der Umgang damit kontrovers diskutiert: http://bpb.de/297604.

Seelie Samara is a name almost no one has heard of. But what if I told you he was the first Black world heavyweight champion - and years before Jackie Robinson would break baseball's color barriers.
For the first time ever, the Story of Seelie Samara is told. This is the first part of a three parts series for Slam Wrestling.

John Standard (born June 15, 1868) made it easier to keep food hot or cold. His 1889 patent for an oil stove involved a novel compact design that he envisioned to use for buffet style meals on trains. Two years later he also rearranged and combined parts for an advanced non-electric refrigerator with a manually filled ice chamber. John Standards' refrigerator could be used in hospitals. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMastodon
