Herstory…. Beautiful n brains Sister Betty Shabazz continued to spread her wings…

Namaste 🙏🏾

Dr. Betty Shabazz was born in Pinehurst, GA and raised in Detroit, MI where her parents largely sheltered her from racism. She attended the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where she had her first encounters with racism. Unhappy with the situation in Alabama, she moved to New York City, where she became a nurse. It was there that she met Malcolm X and, in 1956, joined the Nation of Islam. The couple married in 1958.

Along with her husband, Shabazz left the Nation of Islam in 1964. She witnessed his assassination and was left with the responsibility of raising six daughters single-handedly. Shabazz pursued higher education, earning a PHD from and went to work at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York.

Jane Fonda says at “No Kings” protest:

"This is the first time in the history of the United States that an authoritarian regime has broken through.
He is moving to consolidate very, very fast, which means that right now we have to use the tools we have to stop it."
