Ida B. Wells

 This lady right here is one of the all stars of black history.  In fact I have a bit of a intergenerational times travelers crush on this lady right her. Ida B Wells was 1 billion percent lady and 1 billion percent women. Her investagations and writings  chronicle the tale of lynching in the American south especially.  Because of her work a very strong case can be made against the Federal Goverment for criminal neglect of the African american population citizenry. 
Ida B. Wells “CRUSADE FOR JUSTICE just copy and paste the below links into an empty browser to listen  to Mrs. Wells Narrative.   I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think about the Ida B Well’s Narrative. Thank you.

The Civil Rights Movements

Hello Folks Check out this pod cast about the Civil Rights movement. As this is a rich chapter in American history we will be adding more and more material specifically in the area of the civil rights movement.

The Health of Black Civil War soldiers

This is a podcast of a history lecture given by Margaret Humphreys, M.D., Ph.D.,. This particular topic was on health of African American soldiers during the civil war. At the time thier were drones of chatterous non-sense about African American soldiers claiming that the reason more of them died from disease during the civil war was because they were inherently weaker.This was part of a larger and overall social agenda of uplifting the white race while smearing blacks and holding them down. The reason why more black men got sick during the civil war is

1) Worse living accomendations.
2) Many of the African Americns comming out of slavery were physically broken down from years of overuse, abuse and neglect.
3) Black men as a policy were giving the dirty, hard and most labor intensive work details.
4) Black soldiers also recieved the worse clothing and shoe allotments as well as lower salary salaryAlso the podcast tells more of the story. I hope you enjoy this and find it interesting.

This is another podcast sponsored by the University of Virginia. It is about a slave, free black and larger white community in Viginia from 1790-1865. Please let me know what you think about this topic.to listen to podcast just copy and paste the following link into browser http://www.virginia.edu/uvapodcast/search.php?submit=true&category=5&pageno=3&pageno=1

Lynching

For a while now I have been Facsnated with the tale of lynching in this country.The tale of lynching includes all races both men and women. But it is more than obvious that black people where the overwhelming victims of this shameful american pasttime.  Although this is a unfortunate and tragic time in American history it is also rich and interesting. This tragedy features thousands lynchings and millions of outrageous incidents designed to opress the black american population. Things such as W. E.B Dubois finding a black mans severed Knucles at a downtown atlanta department store, or James Weldon Johnson almost bieng lynched by the Florida National gaurd for escorting an african american lady who looked white in public, or the spectacle lynchings of Jesse Washington and  Marry Turner.

I plan on following up my podcast and presentations with podcast with interviews of historians and social scientist who have studied this outrageous American subject.  The excuse/justification for lynching was usually rape of white women by black men  but a careful study of the recorod reveals the real reason for this discaple behavior was simply southern societies refusal to accept black people as human biengs or treat them as human biengs and american citizens entitled to the rights enjoyed by them.

It is only posible to treat humans the way white southern society(america to be truthful) treated black people after you have convinced them and yourself that they are inferior.

I plan to follow up this post extensively with other post about lynching in more specific details. My aim is to demonstrate that the Federal goverments and State Goverment allowed and even assisted a system they knew violated American Laws that ensure freedom and protection to all of its citizens. It is my objective to use material that is well verified, documented and accepted by all credible historians and socials scientist which will prove that the federal and state goverment’s all over America knew  exactly what was going on and some goverments (which black people pay taxes to)  even participated in the
1) Murders of thousands of black people
2) Attrocities committed against black people
3) Constitutionally illegal policies  that cause the black population great pain and harm
4) Taxation without representation

This video cast by Goode Davis is example the type of material I will be posting, recording and linking to. I hope you find this podcast interesting. Mark Bey
