Annie Malone Warned Poro Agents

4/5/2014

5 Comments

 
Annie Malone in 1934 warned her Poro agents and beauticians about the possibility of a white invasion in the black hair care industry.  We have witnessed how many non-blacks have benefited because of this industry and we can expect this trend to continue. Is it possible to reverse this phenomenon? Is it important that we try to regain the black hair industry? What do you suggest we do to make this happen?

We have heard of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, now we are hearing about a fake ringworm cure that involved young black children whose ringworms went untreated.  Do you trust the government to use you or your family in a test trial?  This is not an anti-government campaign, but a discussion on the subject.  Read the story at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/a-call-to-conscience

Annie Turnbo Malone is only one of many, many African Americans who made great contributions in our history and whose life and legacy should be acknowledged.  Can you think of any other GREATS who have been overlooked so that we may share their history with our AMHS bloggers?

Reaching Our Youth

6/4/2013

4 Comments

 
The month of June means graduation for  many high school seniors; however, many young people seem indifferent to getting a good education for their future. 
How do you propose we reach our youth and turn them away from this apathy
toward education to a realization that education is the means by which they gain
power and control over their own life and destiny?

Picture
Weekend box office gave '42' - the Jackie Robinson Story, the victory with a total sales of $27.3 million on opening weekend.  As painful as it was to watch, do you think it is still necessary to continue to make movies about heroes of our past like Jackie Robinson, Annie Turnbo Malone, Thurgood Marshall, and Col. John C. Robinson?
