🏳️‍🌈 Ruth Ellis (1899 - 2000) was the daughter of former slaves. She came out as a lesbian when she was 16-years-old to the complete acceptance of her family. In 1937, Ruth and her longtime partner moved to Detroit from their hometown of Springfield, Illinois for the promise of higher wages. There, she became the first woman in Michigan to run her own printing business. She printed fliers, posters, and stationary in the front room of her home, which also quickly became a hotspot for Black LGBTQ social life. Before long, Ruth was helping those who came around in any way she could, including by paying for college tuitions. After the Stonewall uprising, 70-year-old Ruth began giving speeches in support of gay and lesbian rights all across the country. She remained an activist for the rest of her long life and even spent her 100th birthday leading the San Francisco Dyke March. At the time of her death at 101, she was recognized as the oldest out lesbian in the US. She is the subject of the documentary "Living With Pride: Ruth C. Ellis @ 100" and is the namesake of the Ruth Ellis Center, a shelter for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth in Detroit.

Celebrate Ruth Ellis.

I remember a teacher telling me how Archaeologists would hack off the noses of statues they found in order to remove any indication that it was of a black person or any POC. It hurts me to think of all the art we’ve lost and damaged because of historical revisionism and flat out racism.

erasure of ethnic identity in art is, in fact, a form of genocide.

obviously I agree with the immediate above statement, but guys- the statue nose thing is at least mostly (and probably entirely) not true

I hoped everyone knew that was a myth by now

first of all, I’ve never seen even anecdotal evidence from the time period that it happened, and it’s hard to imagine that NOBODY would have told their friends or mentioned it in a private diary or letter. that’s a pretty widespread conspiracy of erasure to leave absolutely no trace when so many others have been brought to light with factual support 

projecting parts of statues- noses, fingers, toes, arms and legs away from the body, crowns or other headdresses -are the weakest points. yes, even with stone. and we’re talking about thousands of years of wear and tear. there are tons of ancient statues of white people also missing the noses:

furthermore, political defacement of statues was a Thing in ancient Egypt. as one example, images of Hatshepsut were destroyed by her son, Thutmose III, and his son, Amenhotep II, after her reign as a way of legitimizing their own claim to the throne

and finally, religious motivations more than racial seem to dominate the intentional destruction of Egyptian statues when it happened long after the empire fell. see also: the assertion among Arab historians, dating back at least to the 15th century writings of al-Maqrizi, that the Sphinx was defaced by an Egyptian person in an act of religious iconoclasm

there’s too much horrible racial erasure in history that’s 100% factual, but this just doesn’t seem to be
