Teedy's Black History Fact Of The Day!

Fannie Lou Hamer

(October 6, 1917 – March 14, 1977) was an American voting and women's rights activist, community organizer, and a leader in the civil rights movement. She was the vice-chair of the Freedom Democratic Party, which she represented at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Hamer also organized Mississippi's Freedom Summer along with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). She was also a co-founder of the National Women's Political Caucus, an organization created to recruit, train, and support women of all races who wish to seek election to government office.

Hamer sought equality across all aspects of society. In Hamer's view, African Americans were not technically free if they were not afforded the same opportunities as whites, including those in the agricultural industry. Sharecropping was the most common form of post-slavery activity and income in the South. The New Deal era expanded so that many blacks were physically and economically displaced due to the various projects appearing around the country. Hamer did not wish to have blacks be dependent on any group for any longer; so, she wanted to give them a voice through an agricultural movement.
Hamer died of complications from hypertension and breast cancer on March 14, 1977, aged 59, at Taborian Hospital, Mound Bayou, Mississippi. She was buried in her hometown of Ruleville, Mississippi. Her tombstone is engraved with one of her famous quotes, "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Fred Jones

Inventor, Fred Jones’ contributions during his lifetime were momentous and can be felt to this day. A naturally gifted mechanic, Jones was self-taught, which helped him to invent a portable air-conditioning unit for trucks in 1938. This unit could be used to preserve perishable foods during transport, and the patents Jones was awarded for the product led to the formation of the Thermo King Corporation. His inventions were increasingly vital during WWII when they were used to transport blood and medicine to battlefields and hospitals.

I'm bouncing back to slightly less than dumpster fire one week after the first infusion. I'm stir crazy and add in the fact that I've been home since November, so I've had the overactive crazy brain at work. To keep my mind calm I've been in the Cone Of Chaos nail studio creating sets of nails to test new techniques and for some friends who have asked me for some party, press-on sets. After about 4 sets, I thought it would be a great idea 💡 (insert side eye here) to try out the box of XXL stiletto tips on myself with Valentine's Day decorations. 😐 I've worn XL for a little over a year but this length seems like a big jump in size. I've always functioned well with long nails but these..... madness!😂😂😬

Happy Groundhog Day!

Punxsutawney Phil is the name of a groundhog in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. On February 2 (Groundhog Day) each year, the town of Punxsutawney celebrates the legendary groundhog with a festive atmosphere of music and food. During the ceremony, which begins well before the winter sunrise, Phil emerges from his temporary home on Gobbler's Knob, located in a rural area about 2 miles (3 km) south-east of town. According to the tradition, if Phil sees his shadow and returns to his hole, he has predicted six more weeks of winter-like weather. If Phil does not see his shadow, he has predicted an "early spring." The date of Phil's prognostication is known as Groundhog Day in the United States and Canada, and has been celebrated since 1887. Punxsutawney Phil became an international celebrity thanks to the 1993 movie Groundhog Day.
