Lumumba

On this day in (black) history we recognize PROTEST.

We will start, circa 1848, in Boston where Sarah Roberts is barred from a white school. Her father, Benjamin Roberts, filed the first school integration suit on her behalf. (give us free)

Three years later, circa 1851, (still in Boston) Black abolitionists invade a courtroom and rescue a fugitive slave. (give us free)

Spin forward, circa 1961, when U.S. and African nationalists, protesting the slaying of Congo Premiere Patrice Lumumba, disrupt United Nations sessions. (give us free)

tune in tomorrow for the lesson of the day
