Maafa 21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America is an anti-abortion documentary film made in 2009 by pro-life activist Mark Crutcher to turn African Americans against Planned Parenthood. The film, which has been enthusiastically received by anti-abortion activists, argues that the modern-day prevalence of abortion among African Americans is rooted in an attempted genocide or Maafa of black people.
The film repeats elements of an American conspiracy theory called black genocide, using many of the same arguments as the Black Panther Party and the Nation of Islam in the early 1970s. It misuses statistics to induce in the viewer a fear of birth control and abortion. The film alleges that the eugenics movement targeted African Americans in the 19th and 20th centuries, that this was the basis for the creation of the American Birth Control League (now Planned Parenthood) by Margaret Sanger, and that this kind of race genocide continued in the form of the abortion-rights movement of the 20th and 21st centuries. The film puts forward the idea that Sanger was a racist who worked to reduce the population of blacks, and that Planned Parenthood is continuing this program. Sanger is implicated as an ally of Nazism and Adolf Hitler. *The Melanin Project doesn't endorse or denounce this documentary it is simply presented for discussion and educational purposes. https://TheMelaninProject.org

On that fateful day, Chamberlain, a formidable player for the Philadelphia Warriors, took on the New York Knicks at Hershey Sports Arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The Warriors emerged victorious with a score of 169-147, but the true significance of the game lies in Chamberlain’s individual accomplishment.

While it is a concept rooted in family heritage and shared legacy, heirs' property has become a double-edged sword for the Black community in the United States, particularly in the rural South. This type of ownership has not only shaped the cultural and economic landscapes of these communities but also contributed significantly to the erosion of Black wealth and the loss of inheritance over the decades.
In April 1957, Johnson Hinton came upon a couple of police officers who were clubbing a man named Reese V. Poe on the corner of 125th Street and 7th Avenue in Harlem. Hinton called out to the officers: “You’re not in Alabama – this is New York! ” The police then turned their nightsticks on Hinton clubbing him and cracking his skull. The officers subsequently handcuffed Hinton and took him to the 28th precinct stationhouse. By the time the evening arrived, over 2,000 people were surrounding the precinct demanding that Hinton be provided with adequate medical attention.
Johnson X Hinton, it turns out, was a black Muslim who belonged to Mosque Number Seven, the largest mosque in the country – led by a 31-year-old preacher named Malcolm X.
