On August 21, 194 years ago in less than a month, Nat Turner led a revolt. Dozens died. But what haunted white Southerners wasn’t the blood—it was the intention. The reading. The prophecy. The belief that enslaved people could think, lead, and judge.

This one just powered through a million views and 10'000 downloads on Unsplash 🖤

Honestly, I wasn't sure if any of my Kaleidoscopic series would even be accepted on there, let alone be so well-received 🤩

Happy Wed Nes Day ☕️☀️

Barbara Jordan—a Black woman from Houston’s Fifth Ward—crossed every line drawn to keep her out: the color line, the gender line, the sexuality line, the Mason-Dixon line. And when, 49 years ago this week, the nation asked who would speak for America in crisis, she answered. With conviction. With the Constitution. And with a voice they never forgot.
