Gladys Bentley seems SO COOL. And I just googled her and we’re both from Philly so now I wanna know what part of the city she was from and where she lived while she was still here.
Frida Kahlo enjoyed her times in the US and in one of her visits to NY she assited to meetings and parties ,she danced with Rockefeller and enjoyed uptown Manhattan, but the time she spent with the Black intellectual and artistic community of Harlem were a milestone of hapiness in her life , that she would remember till she died...by the way , l love NYC too..
We all learned about history repeating itself. If you want to learn about it, go way way back to the time of Sodom and Gomorrah. Start from the very beginning.
@Milhouse The Bible has been proven as fact through archeological finds. The Ark of the Covenant has been found. Archaeologists have found two ( possibly 3) STELLAE with PONTIUS PILATE ON carved in stone. The red Sea , where Moses crossed has a lot of chariot wheels from when the sea closed and drowned the Egyptians.There is also a stone pillar where the Israelites existed the sea and much more. The research is out there for you.
@@Sunshine-yl4vx So you mean to tell me that a serpent and a donkey actually talked, men lived for more than 500 years, bread fell from the skies, a man built an ark big enough to contain at least 3 million land animal species, a woman was turned into a pillar of salt, a man lost his strength when his hair was cut, a sea creature swallowed a whole body of water, a man lived inside the belly of a whale, dead people got resurrected, trumpets tore down a wall, and a virgin got pregnant. How amusing yet hilarious. 🤣
@@Robersayan104 You take things broadly when we're speaking locally. When you say Yoruba people, I'm sure you don't mean us, even though we are Yoruba too.
@@jays-move8803 'In some ways it's the largest black city in the world'. This is a quote from this video, minute 1:20, in which the individual talking refers to NYC being the city with the highest black population in the world, in a specific time in history. My question: perhaps this individual has never heard of a continent called Africa? Where the majority of the people are black, and the black population is, OBVIOUSLY, at least double than the black population in NYC. Making NYC a city that has never, in fact, been the largest black city in the world My question to you: which part of this reasoning is the one you do not agree with? Thank you
@@Robersayan104 As Americans, we don't often conceive of Africans as black because you have your own identity. Black is a western identity, along with race. In Africa, we assume you just conceive of yourself in terms of your cultural or maybe national identity. It's not meant to diss, it's meant to display pride. You all have a name for yourself. We don't , so our name for ourselves is "black". But this is only one of two main ways of looking at it. Many Africans do take on the western black identity and know it applies to them in a way too. I am not African so I don't know, but I know some Africans take a black identity, mostly Kenyans, Nigerians, and South Africans, while others don't, like Ethiopians, Moroccans, and Egyptians. So broadly speaking, I am often confused whether to include Africans as black, which to some is a form of disrespect, or risk excluding them, which to some is another form of disrespect. I think Anglophones prefer being called black and Francophones prefer their own culture or nationality, from what I have seen.
Black LGBT History is Black History.
Is AMERICAN history
@@7theMC Yes. Also black history
Has always been here no agenda people just living as best as they can. Extremely educational!
I know there were problems. But Harlem in the 20’s sounds SO FUN.
OMG A DRAG KING WE STAN 👏🏾💓💓🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Very interesting and very informative.

Who gets taught this in school? I wish! I learned from PBS and my father.
I PUT THE FORGIS ON THE JEEP
Black people have always shown up for the cause!!
Marsha Johnson was before Stonewall.
Thanks guys. From lover of the good in all.
Trying to rewrite history and make the HR about gay sexual liberation. Unbelievable.
There's obviously a reason why we didn't learn too
I imagine it's the same reason we're still fighting to get black history taught: Bigotry, ignorance, and hate based on a book.
I’m in school and in fact we are now researching this topic, so the system is changing
Don't mix black liberation with gay liberation, it's not the same
Gay blacks exists and their history should be known their history is much different than their white counterparts
Nah. Not with it
Nobody cares, if you are too scared you might get turned on, why comment?
Yet here you are.
Why are you in the comment section?

Spot on assessment
We’re talking about ACTUAL history here. Not history based on some ancient collection of fairy tales.
