Today for #morethanamonth we celebrate the first B

Today for #morethanamonth we celebrate the first Black-owned resort: Highland Beach , 1893.

Located in Anne Arundel County, 35 miles east of Washington, D.C. and a few miles south of Annapolis, Maryland, Highland Beach became the first African American-owned summer resort community in the United States. In fact it was established because of an act of racial discrimination. In 1890, Major Douglass and his wife were denied entry into a restaurant at The Bay Ridge Resort on Chesapeake Bay because they were African American. In response, Douglass entered the real estate business and began purchasing beachfront property directly south of Bay Ridge. After he acquired slightly more than 40 acres for $5,000, he began developing the property as a summer resort community by selling lots to family and friends. Among the earliest purchasers were Blanche K. Bruce, the Reconstruction-era U.S. Senator from Mississippi, former Virginia Congressman John Mercer Langston, former Louisiana Governor P.B.S. Pinchback, Washington hotel owner James Wormley, and Judge Robert Terrell and his wife, Mary Church Terrell. Robert Terrell was the first black judge in the District of Columbia.

Today for #morethanamonth we celebrate Anne Raven

Today for #morethanamonth we celebrate Anne Raven Wilkinson, an American dancer who is credited with having been the first African-American woman to dance for a major classical ballet company. Wilkinson broke the color barrier in 1955 when she signed a contract to dance full-time with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. She was promoted to soloist during her second season with the troupe, and remained with the company for six years. Wilkinson later became a mentor to American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Misty Copeland, presenting Copeland with the 2014 Dance Magazine Award.

Today for #morethanamonth::
On February 3, 1870, Congress ratified the 15th amendment granting African American men the right to vote.
To former abolitionists and to the Radical Republicans in Congress who fashioned Reconstruction after the Civil War, the 15th amendment, enacted in 1870, appeared to signify the fulfillment of all promises to African Americans. Set free by the 13th amendment, with citizenship guaranteed by the 14th amendment, black males were given the vote by the 15th amendment. From that point on, the freedmen were generally expected to fend for themselves. In retrospect, it can be seen that the 15th amendment was in reality only the beginning of a struggle for equality that would continue for more than a century before African Americans could begin to participate fully in American public and civic life.

Today for #morethanamonth we celebrate the first American museum that showcased African art exclusively.
The National Museum of African Art is the Smithsonian Institution's African art museum, located on the National Mall of the United States capital. It’s collections include 9,000 works of traditional and contemporary African art from both Sub-Saharan and Arab North Africa, 300,000 photographs, and 50,000 library volumes. It was the first institution dedicated to African art in the United States, and remains the largest collection. The Washington Post called the museum a mainstay in the international art world and the main venue for contemporary African art in the United States.

Today for #morethanamonth meet Ashley James the new associate curator of contemporary art at the Guggenheim Museum.
At a time when museums all over the country are trying to increase the number of people of color on its staff, boards and walls, the Guggenheim Museum has hired its first full-time black curator: Ashley James. Ms. James was most recently an assistant curator of contemporary art at the Brooklyn Museum, where she was a moving force behind the acclaimed exhibition “Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power.”
“Her work complements the Guggenheim’s mission to present the art of today,” Nancy Spector, the Guggenheim’s artistic director and chief curator, said in a statement, “which we understand as a deep and expansive view of art history.” (Via NYTimes)

Today for #morethanamonth the Washington Redskins

Today for #morethanamonth the Washington Redskins are working to make Jennifer King the first African American female full-time assistant coach in the NFL after meeting with her late last month, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

King would join the staff as an offensive assistant, a source told ESPN's David Newton.

Redskins coach Ron Rivera hired King as a wide receivers coaching intern for the Carolina Panthers the past two summers. She also was an offensive assistant with Dartmouth College this past fall.

The Athletic first reported that the Redskins are working to hire King.

Multiple sources said she met with members of the organization before the Super Bowl. The Redskins hired Rivera in January. ( Via ESPN.com)
