Libation ceremony for Ruben Johnson

Ruben Johnson, a.k.a. “Rube”, a Black man was lynched December 27, 1874 near Mountain Creek in the southwest area of Dallas County for no offense. He was simply a victim to witnessing a a theft and his unwillingness to comply with the suspects alibi is what got him killed. The 2 Dill brothers ambushed him in the night hung him from a tree and cut his throat from ear to ear and there he hanged nearly a month before he was discovered near the end of January in 1875.

Today is the first day of Kwanzaa, an African American and Pan-African holiday founded by Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966 that celebrates history, values, family, community, and culture. The ideas and concepts of the seven-day celebration from December 26 to January 1 are expressed in the Swahili language–one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa.

Every day the celebration begins when the leader asks everyone the official question, “Habari Gani?” or “What's happening?,” in Swahili. The group responds with the principle for the day, which today is Umoja – Unity.

For Kwanzaa history, cultural expressions, new family & children activities & videos, information on the seven principles and an in-depth cooking experience with culinary historian Jessica B. Harris, join our virtual Kwanzaa celebration: nmaahc.si.edu/kwanzaa

As RBD takes a much needed break, take a look at other resources to learn more of our hidden history.

Next week, join us for a lively discussion about Watch Night, also known as Freedom’s Eve.

Our panelists will discuss the historic impact of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the passage of the 13th Amendment on the African American family unit—and how this holiday still resonates today. This discussion is a reminder of our need and ability to reclaim tradition bearing from the past and how we forget it at our peril.

This program will be available on-demand beginning December 29: https://s.si.edu/3FlyJ3H #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory

Annual Christmas Party 2021

The Tarrant County Coalition for Peace and Justice held a prayer vigil in memory of Mr. Fred Rouse, who was murdered in Fort Worth 100 years ago today. This weekend, the TCCPJ will unveil an Equal Justice Initiative Historical Marker that documents this racial terror lynching.

#OnThisDay in 1870, famous cowboy and rodeo performer William "Bill" Pickett was born. The Texas native left school in 5th grade to become a ranch hand — riding horses and watching the longhorn steers.

Pickett eventually became known for his stunts at local county fairs. He invented the art of bulldogging, the skill of grabbing cattle by the horns and wrestling them to the ground. In 1989, Pickett was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame.

Pickett starred in the 1922 Richard Norman film "The Bull-Dogger,” which was distinct from the majority of Hollywood Westerns that typically highlighted white cowboys. #CAAMALens #APeoplesJourney
