On February 27, 1967, Wharlest Jackson Sr., a husband, father, Korean War veteran, and civil rights leader, was murdered in one of the most notorious acts of racial terrorism during the Civil Rights Era. Jackson had recently accepted a promotion at the Armstrong Tire and Rubber Company in Natchez, Mississippi. The position had long been reserved for white employees. By earning it, he challenged the racial barriers that had defined the workplace for generations. That decision made him a target. As he drove home from work, a bomb hidden beneath the driver's seat of his truck exploded, killing him instantly. According to historical accounts, his young son, who was only 8 years old, arrived at the scene and witnessed the devastating aftermath. The killing was widely believed to have been carried out by members of the Silver Dollar Group, a violent Ku Klux Klan organization operating in Mississippi. Although the FBI identified suspects and conducted an extensive investigation, no one was ever convicted or imprisoned for Jackson's murder. Wharlest Jackson's story is a reminder of the deadly consequences many Black Americans faced simply for seeking equal opportunity, fair employment, and basic human dignity. Remembering victims like Wharlest Jackson is not about reopening old wounds. It is about preserving the truth, honoring those whose lives were stolen by racial violence, and recognizing the long struggle for equal rights and justice. May his memory never be forgotten. #WharlestJackson #BlackHistory #CivilRightsMovement #MississippiHistory #RememberTheirNames #NeverForget #Justice #AmericanHistory

𝐈𝐧 𝐀 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐲 𝐋𝐲𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 | Black Families Say Mississippi’s Medical Examiner Can’t Be Trusted After Four Questionable Black Deaths In a state with one of the darkest histories of racial violence in America, Black families are once again demanding answers. Mississippi’s Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Staci Turner, is facing intense scrutiny after her office handled several high-profile deaths of Black residents under circumstances that many believe remain unresolved or improperly ruled. The cases include: Nolan Xavier Wells, 18, whose body was found in the water near Horn Island in July 2026. Authorities quickly called it an accidental drowning. His family, represented by attorney Ben Crump, ordered an independent autopsy. Early findings have raised more questions than answers. Damien Cameron, 29, who died in 2021 after a violent arrest by Rankin County deputies later tied to the notorious “Goon Squad.” Turner’s office ruled the death “undetermined” even though the autopsy showed internal bleeding in his neck consistent with compression. Independent forensic pathologists later concluded it was a homicide. Demartravion “Trey” Reed, 21, a Delta State University student found hanging from a tree on campus in September 2025. Officials ruled it a suicide. His family has never accepted that conclusion and ordered their own independent autopsy. Channon Wilson, a 13-year-old boy whose 2022 drowning death was ruled accidental without a full autopsy. His family has long claimed he was thrown into the water and that evidence was mishandled. Only one of these cases — Damien Cameron’s — has been independently reviewed and directly contradicted the state’s findings. The others remain clouded by unanswered questions, pending reports, or families who say they were never given the full truth. In a state still living with the memory of lynchings, every unexplained Black death carries heavier weight. Families and advocates argue that when the same medical examiner’s office repeatedly delivers rulings that leave more questions than answers, trust collapses. This is not just about one death. It is about a pattern — and whether Black lives in Mississippi are being fully and fairly examined when they are lost. What do you think? Can a system with this history be trusted to investigate these cases without bias? Drop your thoughts in the comments. And if this story needs to be seen — share it. #Nationalists

THE ORIGINAL BLACK PANTHER — THE DEACONS FOR DEFENSE Before the Black Panther Party there were the Deacons for Defense and Justice — Black men, mostly veterans, who decided in 1964 that nonviolent protest had limits when the Ku Klux Klan was burning churches and shooting civil rights workers. 🔥 Founded in Jonesboro Louisiana in 1964 the Deacons for Defense were primarily working-class Black men who had served in World War Two and Korea. They had trained with weapons. They had faced enemy fire. They were not afraid of night riders in white sheets. ✊🏾 They organized armed patrols of Black neighborhoods in Louisiana and Mississippi. They provided armed escorts for CORE and SNCC civil rights workers who were being targeted for violence. When KKK motorcades came through Black communities the Deacons met them. The results were measurable. The Klan largely avoided towns where the Deacons were known to be active. The FBI surveilled them extensively — more concerned about armed Black men protecting their communities than about the Klan terrorizing those communities. 👑 #HiddenBlackLegacy #BlackHistoryUntold #BlackExcellence #DeaconsForDefense #BlackResistanceHistory

Neighbors, attorney Ben Crump is raising questions surrounding the death of Nolan Wells. __________________ If you recall, Nolan, the 18-year-old student-athlete from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, died after he disappeared during a Fourth of July boating trip to Horn Island. His body was recovered on July 6. __________________ The family’s lawyer, Ben Crump, is now telling Don Lemon that Nolan’s parents were asked to turn over his cell phone to law enforcement, but called the situation “troubling,” adding, “They’re saying messages were deleted from his cell phone.” __________________ According to reports, three young men who returned from Horn Island had Wells’ cellphone and later returned it to his parents. __________________ In a separate interview, Crump questioned the investigation after reports that law enforcement has not yet found evidence of foul play, pointing to “contradictions” in witness accounts and a video that appears to show an altercation took place the night Nolan disappeared. __________________ Crump also said the family has concerns about the investigation being handled by Mississippi authorities, pointing out that Nolan was the only Black teen in a group of white teens who could potentially have “culpability.” __________________ Crump and Nolan’s family are expected to hold a press conference tomorrow to call for a full and transparent investigation.

According to Variety, Machine Gun Kelly revealed on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show that he was set up to audition for a vampire role in Ryan Coogler’s blockbuster Sinners but walked away when he saw what the script required. “Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that. The vampire, they had me set up to do the audition - it’s the one that’s in the house, so he’s the second vampire, the one that the guy comes and eats the family. In the audition, he has to say the N-word and I wouldn’t do it,” Kelly said. The role was for Bert, a KKK member who is later turned into a vampire — a character who delivers a racial slur before his transformation as part of the film’s commentary on hate in Depression-era Mississippi.
