Gorgeous to the 10th power

In Tudor court, a king of might and dread,

Henry the Eighth, his power vast and grand,

His subjects trembled when he lost his head,

Each wife he wed, they met a gruesome end.

The whispers in the palace corridors,

Of plots and schemes that haunt each noble's mind,

Fear grips the heart, as danger still endures,

In the pursuit of power, none are kind.

The executions carried out with speed,

No mercy shown to those who dare defy,

The fear of wrath, a burden to concede,

In Henry's court, where truth and lies collide.

So let us heed the lessons of the past,

And pray that fear and tyranny won't last.

❝ ‘Henry VII’s devout and rather awesome mother’, was the description the historian Neville Williams offered of Margaret Beaufort in his 1973 biography of the King. Both adjectives in this statement are true, but neither do full justice to the woman who forms the subject of this book. William’s assessment does, however, accurately summarize the way in which Margaret has often been portrayed: a religious fanatic who was obsessively ambitious on her son’s behalf and dominated his court, an image compounded by the effigy upon her tomb as well as the surviving portraits, which show her wearing widow’s weeds and a barbed wimple, on her knees in prayer. This is an image often conjured up when the name Margaret Beaufort is mentioned. Yet it is two-dimensional as the paintings themselves, frequently used as a convenient short-hand when relating the tales of the period. Margaret’s own story and her true character as a living, breathing woman are a far cry from such flat representations.Nicola Tallis, Uncrowned Queen: The Fateful Life of Margaret Beaufort, Tudor Matriarch.

November 15th 1998: Stokely Carmichael dies

On this day in 1998, civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael died aged 57. Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago in 1941, Carmichael moved to the United States when he was eleven. An intelligent youth, Carmichael was admitted to the prestigious Bronx High School, where the majority of his classmates were wealthy white teenagers. Acutely aware of the racial injustices of American society, Carmichael joined the Civil Rights Movement upon seeing footage of a sit-in on television. After graduating high school in 1960, Carmichael studied philosophy at Howard University in Washington D.C., but still participated in freedom rides; he was jailed for 49 days in Jackson, Mississippi for entering a ‘whites only’ bus stop. In 1964, he joined the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and became an effective field organiser charged with registering black voters in the Deep South. While working in Lowndes County, Alabama, Carmichael founded his own political party, choosing a black panther as its logo. Despite initially adhering to Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolent philosophy, Carmichael became frustrated with the slow progress of the movement, and upon becoming national chairman of SNCC in May 1966 rejected the group’s white members. In October, Carmichael made the speech for which he is best remembered - his defiant ‘Black Power’ address at University of California, Berkeley. The phrase quickly became a rallying cry for younger, more radical activists who advocated black separatism instead of the nonviolent doctrine of racial integration. This new approach was exemplified by the Blank Panther party, which Carmichael became the leader of in 1967, arguing for black nationalism and pan-Africanism. It was in the pursuit of this latter cause that Carmichael spent the rest of his life in Conakry, Guinea, changing his name to Kwame Toure. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1985, and died in 1998.

“We been saying freedom for six years and we ain’t got nothing. What we gonna start saying now is Black Power!”

Whoa. For the first time ever, a Victoria’s Secret model walked the runway with natural hair. Rather than bending to VS’s traditional beauty standards, 23-year-old Angolan model Maria Borges rocked the runway sans wig, weave or even extensions. For Borges, it was a history-making in a personal way.
