  THREAD OF ALL MY NYC-RELATED HISTORY TWEETS:
• 
  so many ppl in their early 20s don't see the ages of 25-28 as youthful....and that's not healthy lol
• 
  snitching at work is crazy cuz you deadass don't like me so much that you'd rather see me unemployed

  I love how ghetto Facebook humor is. I been weak at this for like three days now

  This is what every person over 65 should be doing....not running for office and hoarding the good job positions
  
  Normalise sitting outside the café all day and not really doing anything

  All this Elmo talk on the TL makes it a good time to recommend "Street Gang" on HBO Max, about the making of Sesame Street. The show was made to cater to Black urban preschoolers to help them learn how to read and count. And it's still a success over 50yrs later.
• 
  Rosedale, Queens (1978). By the mid-1970s, Black middle-class families were moving into the all-white neighborhood. Tensions rose, even amongst children. Here's a clip illustrating this tension.

  The crack epidemic is still so insane to me. People were 16 years old making $40,000 a week. It was coke users taking this drug thinking it just was a cheaper alternative, not knowing it'd ruin their lives.
• 
  so my friend designed these beautiful '70s tracksuits for Fila
• 
  I always catch the little mishaps on TV shows lol

  Fun fact: Black ppl after slavery were able to choose their own surname thru the Freedmen's Bureau, a gov agency that supported former slaves. Some took their master's surname, but some chose the surnames of Presidents: Jackson, Johnson, Washington...some even chose Freeman.
