    November 16, 1972. A horrible, despicable date in history for Southern University when peaceful Black protestors were targeted, brutalized, and KILLED. 300 cops swarmed the campus with guns and tanks & unloaded on them. #HBCURising

        I am shocked to hear that position that Booker T Washington took against his own people. Sounded like he was a sellout.

        I never heard of this but I for damn sure heard about Kent State and Jackson University...which was whites getting killed by law enforcement and the government. Black people protest peacefully and we still get assaulted or killed!

        I live in Baton Rouge. Not much has changed. Last year during Mardi Gras, a float paraded downtown showcasing a flamingo with a noose around its neck with a sign saying “I can’t breathe.” “Pink Lives Matter.” There was NO outrage whatsoever. They wear their racism proudly.

        The man said cops...that was just in 1972. Let's not go back there...people introducing bills so that motorists can run down people legally. IMO, we are definitely not great now and we can not be something "again" when we have not been that yet especially with this president.

        That was the day after I was born in Brooklyn, NY to a white Danish mother and a black father...I never even knew this happened. Thank you for the continuing enlightenment.
