    Unmarked Then, Named Now

    Marcus and Denise pair America's Black Massacres — Elaine, Ocoee, Rosewood and Tulsa's Greenwood, where the dead were buried unmarked and the crime was renamed a riot — with this week's news from Tulsa: the sixth Oaklawn Cemetery field season documented 47 previously unrecorded burials, found gunshot wounds in two more people (ten total), and continues the DNA work returning names to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre's dead.📚 From the 'Left Out of the History Books' series by Carlos L.

    The Vault Then, The Vanguard Now

    One in Four Then, Back in the Saddle Now

    Marcus and Denise pair Black Explorers, Cowboys & the West — Bass Reeves, Stagecoach Mary Fields, and the one in four Black cowboys Hollywood cropped out of the Western — with this week's reclamation: tonight's free Black Cowboy art-and-chuck-wagon night in Las Vegas, the Black Cowboys exhibition now open in Dallas, and Eagle Pass honoring the Seminole Negro Indian Scouts.

    One at a Time Then, Five at Once Now

    Marcus and Denise pair Reconstruction's first Black officeholders — P.B.S. Pinchback's 35 days as America's first Black governor — with Election Night 2026: five Black governors elected to serve at once, Keisha Lance Bottoms as the first Black woman governor, Hakeem Jeffries in line for Speaker, and three Black women in the Senate at once.

    Patented Then, Building What's Next Now

    Marcus and Denise pair Black Innovators — Lewis Latimer, Granville Woods, Elijah McCoy, Garrett Morgan and Thomas Jennings, who patented the telephone drawings, the light bulb filament, train telegraphs and the traffic signal — with AfroTech 2026 in Houston, where more than 40,000 Black technologists are Building What's Next while Black founders still receive just 0.32 percent of U.S. venture capital.

    Unbought Then, On the Ballot Now

    Marcus and Denise pair Black Women Who Changed the World — Shirley Chisholm's Unbought and Unbossed run and Carol Moseley Braun's Senate first — with Election Eve 2026: Keisha Lance Bottoms in Georgia and Lisa DeMuth in Minnesota each could become the first Black woman governor in U.S. history tomorrow, and Juliana Stratton could put three Black women in the Senate at once for the first time. 📚 From the 'Left Out of the History Books' series by Carlos L.

    Hush Harbors Then, Souls to the Polls Now

    From the Black Faith volume: Richard Allen walked out of St. George's in 1787 and built the AME Church — and the Black church became the movement's headquarters. Today, on Souls to the Polls Sunday 2026, Allen Chapel AME in Galesburg is walking voters to early voting, alongside Eagles Nest, Big Bethel AME, and Bishop Barber's thousand marches before the November 3 midterms. 📚 From the 'Left Out of the History Books' series by Carlos L.

    Hitsville Then, Every Voice Now

    Marcus and Denise pair Motown from "The Sound of Us" in the Left Out of the History Books series — Berry Gordy's eight hundred dollar Hitsville bet and "The Sound of Young America" — with October 2026: the Living Legends Foundation's 35th anniversary honoring the behind-the-scenes builders of Black music, and Jazz Hands For Autism's November 21 Motown tribute led by autistic musicians, where Faith Evans receives the WayMaker Award. Motown's real invention was room — and the room is still getting bigger.📚 From the 'Left Out of the History Books' series by Carlos L. Young Sr. — https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheDigitalBlackVoice
