THE BALTIMORE TIMES Vol. 25 32 No. No. 7 14 February December 2 - 8,3 -2018 9, 2010 A Baltimore Times/Times of Baltimore Publication Author Recounts Recy Taylor’s Assault and Black History

Recy Taylor (above), at the age of 24, while walking home from a church service with two friends late one night was accosted at gun point and thrown into the back of a car and gang-raped by six white men in 1944. Taylor lived in Abbeville, Alabama, was married and had a two-year-old daughter at the time. Although Taylor identified the men and they confessed, none were ever prosecuted. Historian and author Danielle L. McGuire has written an explosive story about Recy Taylor in her book “At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance – a New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power.” While Taylor’s tragic plight is detailed extensively in the book, McGuire delves deep into the history of violence against black women in America. Recy Taylor died three days before her birthday on December 28, 2017.

epresentative Cedric Richmond, the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) railed against President Donald Trump’s boasts about the Reconomy, especially his claims about the black community, in a blistering response to the president’s State of the Union (SOTU) address. CBC members also wore Kente cloth-inspired prints to the State of the Union address in solidarity with Americans, Haitians and the African nations smeared by President Trump’s racist rhetoric. Richmond said that every action taken by President Trump, since his election, has been destructive for poor, working-class, and middle-class communities throughout the country, as well as communities of color. He noted that nothing that the president said during his speech wiped that slate clean. The CBC chairman also leveled the charge made by lawmakers and economists alike that Trump is just riding the economic wave that began during President Barack Obama’s tenure. “He boasts about a booming economy, but it is not something he can take credit for,” said Richmond. “Much like the money he inherited from his father to start his business, President Trump inherited a growing economy from President Obama.” Community Affairs Richmond continued: “The low black unemployment rate he boasted about has been falling for eight years, and has only changed by one percent since he took Writing Contest for which is considered to be a masterpiece office.

Positive stories about positive people! The Baltimore Times, February 2 - 8, 2018 (www.baltimoretimes-online.com) Page 7 NASA celebrates legacy of first black American astronaut By Erick Johnson Chicago Crusader, NNPA Member

Fifty years ago, a tragic accident ended the groundbreaking career of Major Robert H. Lawrence, Jr., a Chicago native and stellar Air Force pilot who became America’s first black astronaut. On December 8, 2017—the 50th anniversary of his death—NASA hon- ored his often-ignored legacy and contri- butions to the agency. Earlier in the year, the Chicago Cru- sader reported about the lack of visibil- ity of NASA’s first black American astronaut and helped to raise awareness about Lawrence’s incredible journey. In planning a story for its annual Black History Month edition, Chicago Cru- sader staffers discovered that little was being done to honor Lawrence, while NASA held memorials to mark the 50th Robert Henry Lawrence, Jr. was the first African American astronaut. On the 50th anniversary of his death—December 8, anniversary of three, white astronauts 2017—NASA honored Lawrence’s often-ignored legacy and contributions to the agency in a ceremony for 300 guests at the who perished in a fire aboard the Apollo Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Rosa Pryor remembers fondly the hey- day of Black Baltimore. Men were clad in pinstriped zoot-suits and ladies wore evening gowns with sleek gloves as they hit the town, mostly to enjoy the 100 or so nightclubs and bars that lined Pennsylvania Avenue and the corridors that surrounded it. “Everyone was dressed to the nines,” said Pryor, who writes “Rambling Rose,” a regular entertainment feature for the Baltimore Times. Back in the day, Pryor was just as pro- lific. She performed at clubs, booked gigs for artists and clubs and parlayed her knowledge of entertainment into a Rosa Pryor has authored two books career that she still thrives in today. and Black families lived harmoniously one could enjoy fifteen minutes of fame; that highlight African-American “Back in the day was the 1950s, 1960s in the same neighborhoods and helped a life of pride; a time when African- entertainment in Baltimore in the and really through the early 1990s,” each other, Pryor said.

By Stacy M. Brown

Years before Oprah Winfrey’s stirring speech at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards where the talk show queen spoke about Recy Taylor, historian and author Danielle L. McGuire had already uncovered the explosive story of the 24- year-old African-American sharecropper who was raped by six white men in 1944 as she walked home from a late night church service. McGuire researched her book for more than seven years and learned that, after the incident, the NAACP office in Mont- gomery, Alabama sent Rosa Parks to in- vestigate the case. While Taylor’s tragic plight is detailed extensively in the book, “At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, Author, Danielle L.
