Happy Wednesday!! 😀 IT'S AMERICAN REDNECK DAY!! Author | C. Knighten While folks here in the south may celebrate this day a little harder than most, this is still a day celebrated Nationwide. We can credit The Blue Collar Comedy Tour with inducting many a fan into the kingdom of Redneckdom! People who are often called rednecks do not live up to the derogatory roots of this somewhat slang term. Though, to be honest, there are some that do! ‘Redneck’ is a term applied to white American people who are perceived to be unsophisticated or crass, particularly those from rural backgrounds, farmers and those who worked in fields. Nothing could be further from the truth!! The origins of this term, 'redneck' actually stems from the Battle of Blair Mountain, in 1921. It turned out to be the nastiest uprising since the Civil War. 10,000 to 20,000 coal miners looking for the right to unionize, went to war with labor enforcers. The battle lasted a week and involved the National Guard. The coal miners wore red bandanas when they marched and were labeled 'rednecks' because of their kerchiefs! It is easy to understand how and why people might associate the word with being backwoods and ignorant, but that really isn't what it meant at all. Let's all remember where we would be without vegetables, cows and coal and much, much more! GREAT QUOTES FROM JEFF FOXWORTHY: 👩🌾 You night be a redneck if you have spent more on your pickup truck than your education! 👨🌾 If your neighbors think you are a detective because a cop always brings you home! 🧑🌾 If you ever made change in the offering plate at church...you might be a redneck! 🧑🌾 If you own a home with wheels on it and several cars without...you might be a redneck! While people will misuse this term for years to come, if we all laugh together, it doesn't matter where it started or how. What matters is that we have learned to respect and care for one another regardless of our backgrounds or where we are from! #dynamicpressurewashing #roofcleaning #softwashing #residential #commercial #siding #concrete #driveways #sidewalks #patios #decks #fences #tractortrailers #semitrucks #fleetservice #madison #huntsville #decatur #hamptoncove

▶�� Watch this reel https://lnkd.in/eyW3xaK6 I have Been The Project Manager for This Amazing Project That Has Gained National Attention! In the grand tapestry of life, every thread tells a story and every stitch connects us all. At ‘I Want To Mow Your Lawn’, we have realized the beauty of connections, the serendipity of being introduced to nonprofits like Heroic Gardens, which led us to Rep. Carol Kazeem’s office. Together, we embarked on a noble endeavor this October, restoring a historic cemetery - a final resting place for African-American veterans who sacrificed for our freedoms but faced prejudice even in death. Despite the challenges, the spirit of unity and collaboration shines brightly. With invaluable assistance from our U.S. Navy personnel, a heartfelt response from Milwaukee Tool providing top-notch landscaping equipment and PPE, and the serendipitous connection with ‘ Green Lawn Fertilizer’ company (thanks to Project EverGreen) – every piece fell into place. As you can see from Nicole’s string of videos, the journey is ongoing. But with every hand that joins, every blade of grass that’s trimmed, we remember and honor the souls resting there, ensuring they get the respect they deserve. Our actions today are more than just mowing a lawn or clearing an overgrown cemetery; it’s a testament to the strength of community, the magic of collaborations, and the belief that by lifting each other, we rise together. We’re all intricately linked, and by playing our part, no matter how small, we contribute to a bigger purpose. So, let’s be those helpers, those connectors. If you feel the call, come join us. Whether you have an hour or a day, your contribution can make a lasting impact. Reach out, and let’s make history together. 🌿 #UnityInAction #ConnectedByPurpose #Heroes #LookForTheHelpers #GoodNews

...'Today, decades of #disinvestment have left #freetowns #vulnerable to #predatory #development, #land #theft and #industrialization. The Banners hoped to reverse those trends. Yet within weeks of creating their organization, their #purpose shifted dramatically. Instead of supporting other #Black #communities, the twins found themselves fighting for their own #hometown’s #survival. Wallace, population 1,240, was facing an #existential #threat in the form of the #proposed #construction of a gargantuan #grain-export #terminal, the latest in an onslaught of industrial #growth along the lower #Mississippi #River. The terminal would “drain us of all of our #resources and all of our #qualityoflife”, Joy said. “The overall goal is to run all of us out.” Across the #South, freetowns – also called Black-founded towns or #freedom #colonies – are fighting similar kinds of #encroachment. Helmed by Black men and women looking to escape #slavery and white #supremacy, freetowns #functioned as #autonomous communities, #producing their own #food and #governance and even providing relative #safety during the Jim Crow era. Now, many are in the #untenable position of having to #advocate for their right to have a #future. Often, this means #uncovering #lost #histories and #genealogies, seeking #protection through #historic #registries and battling #local #governments, #developers and #corporations in #court. For advocates like the Banners, the effort to maintain a stable status quo can be exhausting.'... https://lnkd.in/g3Bg7v_b

The ax may rust, but the legend never dulls. Ever wonder how a larger-than-life lumberjack became an American icon? 🪓🌲 Paul Bunyan's tale originated around campfires in the late 19th century Great Lakes region, where loggers spun tall tales of a giant foreman to distract from their isolation and danger. First appearing in print in 1904, the legend grew over the next decade. Seeing an opportunity, the  Red River Lumber Company hired William Laughead to transform the still obscure logging camp tale into a cultural phenomenon. Laughead created a series of promotional pamphlets featuring Paul Bunyan’s stories. He gave Bunyan's blue ox the name "Babe" 🐂and created the first widely recognized pictorial representation of the legendary lumberjack. Laughead's efforts not only boosted Red River's brand but also shaped Paul Bunyan into the cultural icon we know today. As the legend grew, so did Bunyan's physical presence across America. Giant statues of the lumberjack and his blue ox began to appear in towns from Maine to Minnesota, becoming tourist attractions and symbols of local pride. These colossal monuments further cemented Bunyan's place in the American imagination. As Bunyan’s legend grew tall and wide, Red River staked their claim to their “fakelore” with a trademark. Since then, various businesses have sought to harness the giant’s mystique - plumbing 🚽 to tourism 🏞️, telecommunications 📞to cannabis 🌿. And more than one has flexed the giant’s fabled might  💪 to enforce their marks. From tall tales to retail sales: Paul Bunyan's not alone.
