The Alabama Republican Party was formed 150 years ago in Montgomery, Alabama in 1867 on June 4th and 5th.

Alabama Republican Party Chairman Terry Lathan made the following statement celebrating the Alabama Republican Partys 150th birthday:

As the Alabama Republican Party celebrates our 150th birthday on Monday, June 5, we remember the patriarchs and matriarchs of our Party who laid a firm conservative political foundation for our state. We celebrate our hard work and remember those that never gave up in the fight to spread our message.We honor the voters of our state who stand shoulder to shoulder with us along with our elected officials who make policies that uphold our platform principles.

The ALGOP was the majority party in our state from 1868 until 1874. The Republicans gained back control in 2010, 136 years later. Today, Alabama is currently one of the most Republican states in our nation with one of the largest state parties.

The Republican Party was founded as an anti-slavery organization. History shows us that our party supported the right for women to vote and demanded freedom and voting rights for African Americans. In 1874, there were 33 Republican African Americans elected to the Alabama State Legislature. It was the Democrat Party who fought against these issues.

We are proud to celebrate the formation of the ALGOP 150 years ago and our glorious history of supporting these simple human rights. Today, we are proud to support the rights of the unborn who cannot speak for themselves. Like most Alabamians, we believe that the free market knows best for our nation verses a cumbersome overreaching government.We will continue to fight and guard the principles and values of our Partys platform.

On this sesquicentennial milestone birthday, we pause to recall Americas founding fathers and the great sacrifices they made to preserve our liberty and freedom. We remember those who have served in our military so we may keep the greatest nation on earth free.

So, Happy 150th Birthday to our Alabama Republican family! Your actions, prayers and devotion have changed our state and our nation for the better. We applaud you for remaining invested in our growth and for continuing to guard the historic strides we have made.Join us as we celebrate the past, present and the future of the Alabama Republican Party!

It is an honor to stand with our members, supporters and voters to continue our focus on implementing conservative policies for our state and our people. It truly is the best birthday present of all. May God continue to bless our nation and our beloved state. Its great to be an Alabama Republican!

The most significant manifestation of this kind since the civil rights movement is Black Lives Matter. Widely credited to Patrisse Cullors, Opal Tometi and Alicia Garza in response to Trayvon Martins death on February 26, 2012, at the hands of George Zimmerman, and to Zimmermans subsequent acquittal. As America began to pay more attention to police shootings of unarmed blacks, the movements power grew. That power was derived from its simple, bold and irrefutably true proposition that black lives do not exist for pleasurable disposal in a society still mired in its white supremacist history.

Yet, despite the obvious truth of that statement, we may wonder: What are the moral and political arguments that underwrite the claim that black lives matter? While there is no way to articulate the full scope of those arguments in a single essay, its worth considering the philosophical contributions of some of the forerunners of the movement that is our most urgent manifestation of black thought today.

The end of the Civil War and the subsequent ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865 legally abolished slavery, but blacks quickly became subject to a displaced form of violence at the hands of white supremacists across the nation who typically used false accusations of sexual assault to justify lynching black men. Police turned a blind eye to these murders, and sometimes actively facilitated them.

Ida B. Wells, a leading black thinker and journalist in the late-19th and early 20th centuries, and a co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, built a public career documenting lynchings and calling America to account for them. Her arguments extended and amplified those made by Frederick Douglass before her. Douglasss central claim in his seminal The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro was that Americans should feel shame for slavery, given their countrys foundational commitment to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We were failing our own ideals.

Wells pointed to the rise of lynching after the fall of slavery as not merely a legal matter to be rectified with new laws. Having fled her hometown to escape threats of her own lynching, Wells used the press to make her moral arguments. She described a nation in the grip of a dark remorse for freeing black Americans from slavery, and condemned white Americans for cruelties that violated their own commitment to the democratic project.

The horrors that Wells described were a factor in the Great Migration of blacks to the North, which fed the flourishing of black thought and cultural life that gave rise to the Harlem Renaissance. An indication that the Harlem Renaissance was always meant to be a period of radical black philosophy and social change was the name originally coined for the movement: The New Negro. Alain Locke, the Harvard-educated black intellectual who became known as the father of the Harlem Renaissance, envisioned a philosophical position that reinvigorated blacks relationship to their culture and that would in turn solidify their status as equal co-participants in our democracy.

A strong theme among some of the luminaries of the time focused on the will of blacks to assert their humanity against racism and to insist on their status as persons owed respect. Among those stars, the poet Langston Hughes was one of the brightest. His I Too is a quiet yet insistent poem depicting a black man employed by a white one and his struggle with invisibility. The protagonist resolves to sit at the table with the white folks the next day and show people how beautiful he is and that he, too, is America. The writer Zora Neale Hurston had an equally persistent but at times more playful take on the matter. In her essay How It Feels to Be Colored Me, she wrote, Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company! Its beyond me.

Thinkers like Hughes and Hurston were involved in the Harlem Renaissance project of presenting a vision of black cultural vitality and worth that would rework the image of black Americans that whites typically relied upon. That stream of thought runs directly into the heart of Black Lives Matter.

Another valuable and necessary development to come out of the Black Lives Matter movement is the de-emphasizing of black patriarchy and the equal acknowledgment of the suffering of black women and the black L.G.T.B.Q. community. Though sexuality was an avenue of inquiry during the Harlem Renaissance, it was perhaps the mid- to late-20th century poet and theorist Audre Lorde who did the most to make black womens sexuality a focal point of political and social philosophy.

While today intersectionality is bandied about as the cutting edge of social research, it was Lorde who in her writing insisted on complicating our view of personal identity by claiming that each of us belongs to multiple identity communities, all of which contribute to our sense of self and our purposes.

She also showed the broad reach of white supremacy and its effects on black Americans as they located themselves in more nuanced ways in the tapestry of American culture. For her, the primary form taken by resistance to racism was the denial of blunt categories imposed on black Americans, which stifled the possibility of an individuals full flourishing. Lorde, then, called for a radical form of self-possession whose boundaries were not open to negotiation with a white society.

When people think of Black Lives Matter, they often think of anger feeding forceful protests. Anger is a reasonable response to racial injustice. To be certain, groups like the Black Panthers and thinkers like Malcolm X advised black Americans to get angry and take the doctrine of armed self-defense seriously. Though anger and love are not mutually exclusive emotions, James Baldwin and Martin Luther King Jr. affirmed a view of civic love to pre-empt the need for violence.

King espoused a form of Kantian regard that prioritized conceiving of every human, racist or not, as owed a kind of love that is grounded in the ideal of universal respect. Baldwin held a slightly different view. He felt black Americans ought to see whites as democratic kin or family, as people with whom blacks would have serious quarrels but also people whom it would be worth keeping close in order to strengthen and bring integrity to the bonds of shared democratic life. These two views of love eschewed violence yet insisted on militancy. While forgiveness and acceptance were hallmarks of Kings and Baldwins views, so was an unyielding commitment to self-respect and the demand for social change to institutionalize the idea that blacks were co-creators of the American kingdom.

Thinkers like Wells, Hughes, Hurston, Lorde and Baldwin not only anticipated the current Black Lives Matter movement but provided an intellectual blueprint to give depth and integrity to that slogan, so that its meaning transcends the demand to stop police brutality. It is a demand for whites to extend their historical imagination and recognize that the ills of racism are not the result of a few bad police officers or a few out-and-out racists in some far-off corner of America. The problem, rather, is a kind of complicity one partaking in the false comfort that America has somehow escaped the trajectory of its racially murderous history. It is necessary that we to see our society today as continuous with that history and not anomalous to it.

Black thoughts primary contribution to the academy and to American society is the richness and precision with which it describes our worst demons to us, while offering a vision of how we might each save our democracy from the ruin of irrational fear and hatred.

The Black Lives Matter leader known for diving over a barrier to snatch a Confederate flag from a protester on live TV last year was shot dead in New Orleans, police said.

Muhiyidin Elamin Moye, who went by Muhiyidin dBaha, was found dead Tuesday morning after being shot in the thigh while riding his bicycle, the Advocate reported.

New Orleans police spokesman Beau Tidwell said no information about a potential motive or suspects was immediately available.

DBaha, 32, moved to South Carolina from Poughkeepsie, NY, when he was 13 and was in the Big Easy on a personal trip, his niece Camille Weaver told the Post and Courier.

He loved Charleston and loved fighting for whats right, she said. Ive never met anyone more committed and hardworking than him. He was an asset to the Charleston community and will be greatly missed.

The activist drew national attention last February when he was arrested for jumping over a barricade in an attempt to grab a Confederate flag away from a demonstrator at the College of Charleston.

Members of the South Carolina Secessionist Party had gathered to protest a lecture by activist Bree Newsome, who famously climbed the South Carolina capitol flagpole to remove its Confederate flag in 2015.

DBaha was slapped with disorderly conduct charges as a result of the incident, which was caught on air.

Not another generation of people are going to be intimidated by this flag, he told the Washington Post after the incident, adding hed tried to wrestle the flag away to help them understand what it is to meet a real resistance, to meet people that arent scared.

In the hopes of bringing dBahas body back to Charleston for a funeral, his niece started a GoFundMe drive that had raised almost double its $7,500 goal by Wednesday.

Time and time again,Flahertys investigation, which he detailed in an article for the weekly San Diego publication The Reader last fall, raised issues about DiGiovannis credibility and the thoroughness of the investigation into the incident.
