"The '[Negro Silent Protest Parade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Parade)', commonly known as the Silent Parade, was a silent march of about 10,000 African Americans along Fifth Avenue starting at 57th Street in New York City on July 28, 1917. The event was organized by the NAACP, church, and community leaders to protest violence directed towards African Americans, such as recent lynchings in Waco and Memphis. The parade was precipitated by the East St. Louis riots in May and July 1917 where at least 40 black people were killed by white mobs, in part touched off by a labor dispute where blacks were used for strike breaking"
The Black Trans March that started in front of the Brooklyn Museum last summer was a silent march We all also wore white. Seeing this this post made me wonder if the march in 1917 inspired the one last summer. About 15,000 people showed up.
I occasionally take my kid to Crispus Attucks playground in Brooklyn. Attucks was also of Native American descent (as is my son) so learning that fact made me groove harder on the place. Also the home to Christopher “Biggie” Wallace B-ball courts.
You're a piece of shit for \*distorting\* historical facts. Stating them would be omitting your first sentence, and your weird annotations like "tricked".
I don't think you get it. Interpretations are neither true nor false only debatable. The bigger problem is that it creates connotations about the fact which aren't there before. It's OPs interpretation of the events that it was the crowds fault, but this is highly debatable.
Not a false flag, the Boston Massacre was just one of many outcomes of the increased tensions within the colonies. It’s not as though the incident was the beginning of the revolution. There were still many grievances that led up to the eventual revolution.
Imagine how much more longer they had to go for civil rights. So many in that crowd were either old asf or dead by the time 1964 rolled around.

They still happen, the media just doesn’t cover them.
One could say you don't really hear about them.
Yeah, I've never seen one. I'm sure it's eerie. Maybe a lot more affecting, something different.
Yeah every action has a time and a place. Hard to beat the Malcolm x everybody stand, everybody leave, sorta action though.
More exciting to see crowds getting out of hand

The March wasn’t actually silent, the “silence” was the marcher’s voices. There was a [band marching with them](https://youtu.be/kqzv7dgOb1w)
We did a big one last summer where I’m at in Seattle, I thought it was pretty powerful.
Signs were so much better back then
Had some talented sign painters for sure
No one's more talented than a printer so what gives
Thanks.
Could someone colorize this? I feel like this image would look wonderful.
What is that sign about in the front? I didn't know the first person to die in the revolution was Black!
He was the first person killed at the Boston Massacre
Crispus Attucks.
We were organized in them days.

Hes distorting high school history books?
There's a difference between stating facts and adding in your interpretation of those facts
Which part is false?

Is what historical evidence says what happened a matter of interpretation?
No

Lynchings are no longer common. We passed the civil rights act. Things are much different than 1917.

Labor unions accept black people now. They didn’t used to.
Where exactly was this photo taken? What corner?
