FIRST BLACK MAN IN A HORROR FLICK TO SURVIVE THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!!!!

Preacher, Deep Blue Sea (1999). Played by LL Cool J, Preacher was the independent, bird-loving chef aboard an ocean research facility. Many feel Preacher is a stereotypically black horror movie character, from being the comic relief and being just a chef on a boat full of scientists. Despite these black horror character stereotypes, he becomes the hero WITHOUT self-sacrifice! In all horror movie research, this is a rare occurance.

Merritt Junior College students Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) on October 15, 1966, in West Oakland. Sixteen-year-old Bobby Hutton was their first recruit. The BPP’s original six members (swipe left) were Elbert "Big Man" Howard, Huey P. Newton, Sherwin Forte, Bobby Seale, Reggie Forte and Little Bobby Hutton.

On October 29, 1966, Stokely Carmichael - a key figure in the Black Power movement and at the time a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee - came to Berkeley to keynote a Black Power conference. He was promoting the organizing efforts of the Lowndes County Freedom Organization in Alabama and their use of the Black Panther symbol. Inspired, Newton and Seale adopted the Black Panther for their organization and logo.

The mural shown, at Broadway and Telegraph, is by Madow Futur and Aerosoul (2021). Madow Futur, founded by ሰናይ, is a Black-owned and Oakland-based streetwear brand, focused on social activism. Its Serve the People program, centered in West Oakland, is dedicated to public art, supply donations to houseless people, education, and inter-generational racial healing and wellness. Its founder was inspired by his family’s relationship with African Liberation Movements, dating back to the 1920s with Black Wall St and Marcus Garvey’s UNIA. In the 1960s, his grandparents met through the BPP, his grandfather one of its most prominent photographers.

1210 Excelsior, built in 1915, was the Oakland home of renowned, pioneering educator Ida Louise Jackson. Jackson was the first Black woman certified to teach in California. She was also California’s first Black high school teacher and the first Black teacher in Oakland's public schools. In 1921, while attending U.C. Berkeley, she founded its second Black sorority - the Rho Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the U.S.’s oldest Greek-letter society for Black women.

Jackson was born in Mississippi in 1902. She earned her teaching degree at Dillard and moved to Oakland in 1918. After obtaining an M.A. in Education at U.C. Berkeley, Jackson applied to be an Oakland public school teacher. Facing racism and discrimination, she was denied a position. In 1923, she became California’s first Black high school teacher at El Centro’s East Side H.S. Again, Jackson applied to teach in Oakland and was turned away. Determined, she sought help from the NAACP and in 1926 received an offer at the Prescott School, becoming the first Black teacher in Oakland’s public schools. She taught there for 15 years, despite colleagues' attempts to have her reassigned. She then taught at McClymonds H.S. until her retirement in 1953.

Among her many incredible accomplishments, in 1934 she helped launch Negro History Week, the precursor to Black History month. She also founded the Mississippi Health Project and visited the White House twice. She was two units short of a doctorate at Columbia, but could not afford the degree. Jackson passed away in Oakland at 93, but her legacy lives on.

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt with Mary McLeod Bethune, National Youth Administration Director of Negro Activities, at the opening session of the National Conference on Problems of the Negro and Negro Youth, being held under the auspices of NYA in Washington.
Mary McLeod Bethune, and the Negro Affairs Division of the National Youth Administration provided thousands of black girls and women with educational programs and vocational training to prepare them for better job opportunities.
The National Youth Administration (NYA) was a New Deal program created in 1935 within the Works Progress Administration (WPA).  The mission of the program was to provide economic relief to young people aged 16 to 24 through educational aid, job training skills, and employment opportunities.  In 1936, in an effort to better address the needs of black youth, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Mary McLeod Bethune as Director of the NYA’s Division of Negro Affairs. With this appointment, the prominent civil rights leader became the first black female administrator in the federal government.  In this capacity, Bethune worked closely with federal and state agencies, black college presidents, and black businesses and organizations to establish numerous resources to aid black girls and women through the auspices of the NYA.
