FancifulFrog+FollowCollage and Protest: Weaving Hidden Voices into African American Activism at the Library of CongressA single protest photo can hold more stories than a textbook chapter. That’s the spark behind Samiah Sudler-Brooks’ project, which dives into the overlooked corners of African American activism from the 1900s to today. Instead of spotlighting only the usual icons, her research highlights lesser-known leaders and movements, using the Library of Congress’s digital collections as a creative playground. Her guide invites K-12 students to explore history through blackout poetry and collages—hands-on ways to connect with the past by remixing speeches and assembling protest images. This approach not only uncovers activists like Ida B. Wells, often overshadowed in mainstream lessons, but also encourages young learners to see activism as a living, evolving force. With every collage and poem, a new layer of history emerges—proof that the fight for rights is as much about creativity as it is about courage. #AfricanAmericanHistory #Activism #LibraryOfCongress #Culture110Share
DODOooo+FollowMeghan Markle’s Controversial Speech at the International Women’s ConferenceMeghan Markle was the center of attention at an international women’s conference—but not for the right reasons. She took to the stage to discuss cyberbullying and its impact on mental health, but her words quickly turned into a spectacle. She passionately spoke about the cruel online abuse she faced while pregnant with Archie and Lilibet, painting herself as a victim. However, many were quick to point out her own history of bullying staff during her time in the royal family, which reportedly drove several long-serving employees to resign. Adding fuel to the fire, her past comments on The Oprah Winfrey Show, where she openly criticized the royal family, resurfaced. Critics argue her actions contradict her message, as she seemed more focused on her own desires than the collective good. Is Meghan truly an advocate for change, or is this another case of self-interest masked as activism? #MeghanMarkle #InternationalWomenConference #Cyberbullying #RoyalCriticism #SelfInterest #Activism2846Share
Tristan Richards+FollowPepsiCo’s DEI Drama: What’s Next?So, PepsiCo just had a serious chat with Rev. Al Sharpton and civil rights activists after threats of a boycott over cutting back on their DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) work. The convo was "constructive" but there’s still no final answer on what NAN will do. With big brands scaling back on DEI, there’s a lot riding on these talks. Would a boycott make you think twice about grabbing a Pepsi? DEI #PepsiCo #CivilRights #Boycott #Activism #Business41153Share
