In the 1980s, Angelou became a professor at @WakeForest University in @CityofWS, where she would spend the rest of her life. She was a person of limitless talents, and I will always be proud that the first bill I passed into law honors her work. #BlackHistoryMonth #SayBlack — PolitiTweet.org

Maya Angelou was the first Black poet to deliver a recitation at a presidential inauguration; the performance won a Grammy. She was active in the Civil Rights Movement and unafraid to be political. She worked on stage and behind the camera. — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 2011, President Barack Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Maya Angelou. Angelou was born in The Lou – St. Louis, Missouri – in 1928. #BlackHistoryMonth #SayBlack https://t.co/0gdCGkkHtt — PolitiTweet.org

Douglass said, “In this denial of the right to participate in government, not merely the degradation of woman and the perpetuation of a great injustice happens, but the maiming and repudiation of one-half of the moral and intellectual power of the government of the world.” — PolitiTweet.org

Frederick Douglass was one of the most important abolitionist voices in the world during the 19th century. His importance was undeniable; for example, he was the most photographed American of his era. He credited the use of photography as a powerful tool to end slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

Frederick Douglass chose today, February 14, as his birthday. He was born into slavery in February of 1817 or 1818; records are unclear. He chose February 14 because his mother called him “Little Valentine.” https://t.co/xs06Fbe2Ot — PolitiTweet.org

Dred and Harriett were finally freed in 1857; while Dred died a year later from tuberculosis, Harriett lived until 1876 with her free daughters. Their descendants still live in St. Louis today. https://t.co/FbCe8LQ9J7 — PolitiTweet.org

After the case reached the Supreme Court, seven of nine justices ruled that Black Americans had no claim to freedom or citizenship. The decision further inflamed tensions that led to the American Civil War. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Alma Adams @RepAdams
However, when he and his wife Harriett successfully sued for their freedom upon their return to St. Louis in the slave state of Missouri, state appellate courts and later federal courts denied his claim. #BlackHistoryMonth #SayBlack — PolitiTweet.org

Dred Scott was born into slavery in Virginia in 1799. After he was sold to an Army doctor, he spent significant time in free states, like Illinois, where slavery was illegal. Scott and his supporters believed the significant time in free states had granted him his freedom. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Alma Adams @RepAdams
On this day in 1856, the Supreme Court heard opening arguments in Dred Scott v. Sandford, a case universally regarded as “first in any list of the worst Supreme Court decisions." #BlackHistoryMonth #SayBlack https://t.co/t6s8LXM8oL — PolitiTweet.org
