While creating my soon to be released episode about the Little Rock Nine, I got to thinking about education, school and specifically my first day at school. I started to think about people&#39;s first days in general. I decided to ask a few listeners and friends to share their first day experiences, some of which you&#39;ll hear in today&#39;s episode. 

I hope you enjoy it.

Todays Black History Blitz is about a self-taught mathematician, astronomer, compiler of almanacs, a writer, an inventor and the man who may have completed the Design for Washing DC Capitol City of the United States of America from memory.


Benjamin Banneker was born November 9th, 1731 on a farm near Baltimore that he would eventually inherit from his father. Although he occasionally attended a one-room Quaker schoolhouse, Banneker was mostly self-educated and did much of his learning through the avid reading of borrowed books. It was noted that from a young age he was particularly skilled at Mathematics.


His early accomplishments included constructing an irrigation system for the family farm and a wooden clock that kept accurate time and ran for more than 50 years until his death.

Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican activist, and entrepreneur who founded the UNIA and campaigned for a better quality of life for all black people.  The Pan African red black and green colours you see and that form part of the Ghanian flag come from Garvey’s organisation. 

I’ll be doing an episode on Garvey soon but for today I wanted to focus on a quote from him made on February 10th 1925 from an Atlanta prison.

I&#39;m going to be very honest here and make a confession. I&#39;m a procrastinator, there I said it and it feels good. It’s taken me ages to finally admit that. So this particular proverb really hits home for me.  “Supposing doesn&#39;t fill the grain basket “if” doesn&#39;t fill the larder.” This sounds so sounds obvious, it’s even a little easy to dismiss until you stop and think about the fact that at certain times in our past and even now, procrastination could be the difference between your family eating and not eating.

Show Notes: 

Todays Proverb is an Igbo saying from Nigeria:


“The big game often appears when the hunter has given up the hunt for the day”


This saying really resonates with me as often I feel called to just quit, to give up and do something easier. 




I can Imagine the hunter, tired, deflated and on the verge of going home empty-handed. When suddenly their prize appears, and they forget about tiredness, hunger, that previous feeling of defeat and now the only thing that matters is overcoming their foe and getting what they came for. 




That ability to perform when you&#39;re at the end of your strength is what marks people out for greatness. So if you&#39;re listening to this.  Don&#39;t give up, don&#39;t quit, your prize is waiting for you at the end of the day and when you see it YOU WILL have enough strength to bring it back home.

Show Notes: 

This Episode is about an African Queen who defined Rome and carved out a place for herself in History.

Kandake Amanirenas is one of the most celebrated rulers of the Ancient Kingdom of Kush, located in the region of Nubia, which we now know as Sudan. She ruled from 40BC to 10BC.

Kandake - also known as Candace, Kendake or Kentake - was the title given to Queens and Queen Mothers of the region and is the origin of the modern name Candice. 

Kush was a civilisation centred in the North African region of Nubia. It was, In fact, one of the earliest civilisations to develop in the Nile River Valley. Kushite states rose to power before a period of Egyptian incursion into the area established an Egyptian dynasty, the 25th Dynasty, in 775 B.C.E. lasting until 653. (By the way, BC numbers work towards zero and AD numbers work away from 0, thanks Rome for making history way more confusing)

The Pharaohs of this have been called the ‘Black Pharaohs’, or the ‘Ethiopian Pharaohs’.

With a rich and vibrant trading culture, Kush coexisted in peace for centuries with its neighbours, due to its role in commerce and in the transportation of goods. 

The Kingdom of Kush represents yet another ancient African civilisation of which relatively few people outside of Africa are aware, often reducing Africa’s contribution to culture to the Egyptian legacy alone. 

Kush, however, is referenced in the Bible and The Kingdom was well known to the Romans. 

Fun fact. There are more pyramids in Sudan (Kush) than anywhere else in the world 220!&#34;

Show Notes: 

To tide you over while Im researching and writing longer episodes I&#39;ve created a new segment called Black History blitz. Short, bite sized and fun, like any good snack its best when shared with friends, so tell your friends about it. 

Today&#39;s Black history Blitz is about the hard-drinking, shotgun carrying wild west legend known as Stagecoach Mary. The first African American Woman to Join the US mail.

Mary Fields, later to be known as Stage Coach Mary was born in Hickman County Tennessee at around 1832 

Liberated from enslavement at the end of the American Civil war, Fields headed North working on Riverboats till she eventually found permanent work in an Ohio convent.

Her gruff style and constant cursing raised eyebrows in the quiet convent, and though she faithfully served the nuns, news of her habitual drinking, smoking, shooting guns and wearing men’s clothing. Caused upheaval. 

Things came to a head when Fields and the convent’s male janitor drew guns on each other during a heated argument, it was the final straw and she was fired.

Fields love of hard drinking and gunfights eventually paid off when in 1895 she won a contract from the postal service to become a Star route carrier making her the first African American woman to do so

Cathy Williams, we salute you!

Show Notes:&nbsp;
To tide you over while Im researching and writing longer episodes I've created a new segment called Black History blitz. Short, bite sized and fun, like any good snack its best when shared with friends, so tell your friends about it.&nbsp;
Today's Black history Blitz is about the hard-drinking, shotgun carrying wild west legend known as Stagecoach Mary. The first African American Woman to Join the US mail.
Mary Fields, later to be known as Stage Coach Mary was born in Hickman County Tennessee at around 1832&nbsp;
Liberated from enslavement at the end of the American Civil war, Fields headed North working on Riverboats till she eventually found permanent work in an Ohio convent.
Her gruff style and constant cursing raised eyebrows in the quiet convent, and though she faithfully served the nuns, news of her habitual drinking, smoking, shooting guns and wearing men’s clothing. Caused upheaval.&nbsp;
Things came to a head when Fields and the convent’s male janitor drew guns on each other during a heated argument, it was the final straw and she was fired.
Fields love of hard drinking and gunfights eventually paid off when in 1895 she won a contract from the postal service to become a Star route carrier making her the first African American woman to do so
Cathy Williams, we salute you!&nbsp;

Show Notes: 

To tide you over while Im researching and writing longer episodes I&#39;ve created a new segment called Black History blitz. Short, bite sized and fun, like any good snack its best when shared with friends, so tell your friends about it. 

Today&#39;s Black history Blitz is about Cathy Williams. The first African American Woman to enlist in the United States Army and the only one we know about who did so posing as a man!! 


 Williams was born in Independence, Missouri September 1844 and lived until 1893

 As a teen, Williams worked as a house slave on the outskirts of Jefferson City, Missouri.

 Despite there being a ban against women serving in the military, Cathay Williams enlisted in the Army under the false name of &#34;William Cathay&#34; on November 15, 1866, passing herself off as a man. 

 She was assigned to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/38th_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States) (38th United States Infantry Regiment) after she passed a Brief medical examination.

 She was only discovered when a surgeon treating her for injuries realised she was a woman 

 She was discharged from the Army on October 14, 1868. After having served for nearly 3 years 

 In 2016, a bronze bust of Cathay Williams was unveiled outside the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Allen_Cultural_Center (Richard Allen Cultural Center) in Leavenworth, Kansas 


Cathy Williams, we salute you!
