Was your family active in Civil Rights or Black Power movements?

[get these nets]

Did your family ever sit you down and discuss what their thoughts were (at the time)about the Civil Rights Movement or the Black Power Movement? and their level of involvement?

Lot of stories like that..... and I mean a lot

Your last name is currently Williams, but realized it used to be Simmons and your great grand daddy had to change y’alls last name because he baptized a honkey with the wrath of Odin because that cracker wouldn’t pay what he owed for services/goods rendered....... and lil nikkas got the nerve to say shyt is just as bad as it was 60 years ago...

Active? Nah I don't think so. My pops made sure to put me up on game though. He's from Anniston, AL where a Freedom Riders bus was burned. Last time I visited they had a landmark.

My grandma got locked up during a sit in

 

[GoAggieGo.]

My great auntie took parts in the Greensboro protests and riots in 1969. Also, with my family being from the area, they were around during the Greensboro sit ins in during 1960.

 

[GreenGhxst]

Yeah, my grandpa was a civil rights activist and leader in Eunice, Louisiana

They used to throw burning crosses in their yard, and the crackers also shot at their house a couple times too

 

[GoAggieGo.]

My dad slapped a white girl for calling him the n word in 1975 on the bus. My dad told me how they called my grandma up to the school and she told that principal that she shouldn’t have called him that, and she wouldn’t of been slapped. Her pa came to the house for confrontation, but my grandpa shut that down.

This was in North Carolina.

 

[A.R.$]

Not really. My parents were both from the south and moved up north. They met in the NOI right before Elijah Muhammad died, then they became traditional Muslims. To my knowledge no one in my family really did anything.

 

[big bun]

My family from the Bay, so yes.

My grand pops and his brothers from the backwoods of Louisiana...five boys. He used to tell us stories of them going out to the woods at night and beating up on whatever white boys they could find. Everybody knew it was them, but they didn’t dare try to get them back.
