📜 Exploring Black Barbershop History: The Legacy of Hunter C. Haynes Discover the inspiring journey of Hunter C. Haynes (1867–1918), from a shoeshine boy to a pioneering entrepreneur in the Black barbershop industry. 🔍 From Apprentice to Innovator At just 14, Haynes apprenticed as a barber, later revolutionizing the industry with his patented leather strop for razor sharpening. Recognizing limited opportunities in the Jim Crow South, he moved to Chicago, where he established a thriving integrated barbershop and manufacturing business. 🎥 Beyond Business: Embracing Filmmaking Haynes's success enabled him to pursue his passion for filmmaking. He founded the Haynes Photoplay Company, elevating Black movie stars and contributing to the burgeoning Black cinema scene. 🤝 Community Impact Through Collaboration Active in the National Negro Business League (NNBL), Haynes shared expertise at annual conventions, fostering collaboration and empowerment among Black entrepreneurs. His legacy embodies resilience, innovation, and community support within the Black barbershop tradition. Join us in honoring Hunter C. Haynes's remarkable contributions to Black history and entrepreneurship. ✨ #InspirationalJourney #HistoryUntold #saam #africanamerican #blackhistory #africanamericanart #blackart #blackartist #hamptonsartsscene #hamptonslife #africanamericanmuseum #ForTheCulture #culturalarts #culturalheritage #juneteenth #africanamericanculture #blackculture #blackowned #blackhistory365 #learningthroughthearts #caaminla #thehamptons #southampton #easthampton #westhampton #hamptonsart #africanamericanculture #blackculture #barberhistory #blacklegacy #barbershop

If you are not aligning your actions from a soul-aligned place... by tapping in deeper with yourself, listening to your intuition, and inner guidance... I'm not talking about just on the mental level but on a soul energy level first, you are creating a reality for yourself that is not deeply connected to who you really are as a unique individualized manifestation of God/Goddess on this earth. I mean if that is what you want to be... and you should because that is "what" you are! This is one of the main reason you feel stuck, blocked, or confused in life, love, business, especially your purpose... Feeling unfulfilled and knowing that there is something more or something missing that you can't quite put your finger on. You can take more actions, listen to more people, and continue acting from outer influences or unaligned energy... or you can take some time to travel into your inner world and discover who the fu🌟k you are on a soul level and start creating your life, making choices, and taking actions from that place. If you want guidance on an inward journey to discover more of yourself on a soul level, I'm available for soul sessions.

🌟 Guest Review Highlight 🌟 Hi there, SAAM Community! We're overjoyed to share this glowing review from one of our recent guests: "Good Afternoon Brenda, I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for the wonderful experience my sorority sisters and I had at the SAAM this weekend! Firstly, we want to extend our appreciation to your intern, Kim, who was not only incredibly friendly but also very knowledgeable. We were thoroughly impressed by the digital experience offered at the museum. It was our first time experiencing a museum in that way and it made it fun and engaging as we explored and learned about the history and artifacts displayed. The artwork bingo in the basement was another highlight for us as it was both unique and interactive. We found the incorporation of local artists and students within the exhibit to be heartwarming and powerful. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the history and stories shared within the building. Thank you again for the memorable visit! Best, Aasha" Thank you, Aasha, for sharing your experience with us! Your words truly warm our hearts and inspire us to continue creating engaging and meaningful experiences for all our visitors. 📸 Share your SAAM experience with us using #SAAMMoments!

✨ Discover the legacy of black inventors with Saam! Meet Frederick McKinley Jones, the mind behind refrigerated trucks. Did you know that your refrigerator’s produce owes its freshness to African American inventor Frederick McKinley Jones? Jones secured over 60 patents, including one for the roof-mounted cooling system that revolutionized the transportation of perishable goods in the mid-1930s. His patented invention in 1940 led to the establishment of the U.S. Thermo Control Company, later known as Thermo King. During World War II, Jones’s company played a vital role in preserving blood, food, and supplies, highlighting the lasting impact of his innovative contributions. #BlackInventors #InspirationalJourney #HistoryUntold #saam #africanamerican #blackhistory #africanamericanart #blackart #blackartist #hamptonsartsscene #hamptonslife #africanamericanmuseum #ForTheCulture #culturalarts #culturalheritage #juneteenth #africanamericanculture #blackculture #blackowned #blackhistory365 #learningthroughthearts #caaminla #thehamptons #southampton #easthampton #westhampton #hamptonsart #africanamericanculture #blackculture #barberhistory #blacklegacy

SAAM presents: history untold 📚 Walter Sammons (1890-1973) of Philadelphia revolutionized hair care with his 1920 patent for the hot comb. This innovation was part of a wave of advancements by African American inventors in the early 20th century. Sammons’ comb aimed to smooth textured hair without damage, addressing the challenges faced by Black women during styling sessions. ✨ The hot comb’s history traces back to Marcel Grateau in the late 1800s, initially for white women. Sammons’ design, however, catered specifically to African Americans at a time when natural hair was often stigmatized. 🌟 Hair choices have always been intertwined with personal and social complexities. For some, straightening hair symbolized adulthood or societal assimilation, while others rejected the notion of enduring pain for beauty standards. This journey reflects the ongoing evolution of personal expression and societal expectations. #HairCare #HistoryUntold #saam #africanamerican #blackhistory #africanamericanart #blackart #blackartist #hamptonsartsscene #hamptonslife #africanamericanmuseum #ForTheCulture #culturalarts #culturalheritage #juneteenth #africanamericanculture #blackculture #blackowned #blackhistory365 #learningthroughthearts #caaminla #thehamptons #southampton #easthampton #westhampton #hamptonsart #africanamericanculture #blackculture #barberhistory #blacklegacy #barbershop

Remembering the Legendary Oscar-winning Lou Gossett, Jr. 🌹, who made his transition on March 29th at 87 years old. Mr. Gossett made history as "the first Black supporting actor to win an Oscar for his phenomenal role in "A Soldier and A Gentlemen," Gossett is posing here with the original cast of "Roots," a role in which he would win an Emmy for Alex Haley's groundbreaking series. This celebration of the "Roots" Reunion and rebroadcast of the series, was sadly the last time, I had the opportunity to meet and talk with this kind, humble and so talented man. Sending my deepest condolences to Lou Gosset's family, love ones and fans. He, will be sorely missed, but his great work and kindness will live on forever.🙏🌹🙏💖💔💗⭐🕊 #lougossettjr #oscarwinner #ASoldierandaGentlemen #Roots #BlacksinHollywood #Blacklegacy #BlackExcellence #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #insidenewyork #roots
Read 1st: Black American Freedmen, did you shell beans, pick any kind of fruit, etc growing up? - There are some things that cannot be found in history books and some memories that can’t be replaced. Me and my cousins used to do this all the time. Sometimes to have something to eat or sometimes just for fun. There are some things that are absolutely priceless to me and I swear this is one of them. - I can vividly remember shelling beans, picking watermelon, grapes, okra, collards, canning okra and tomatoes making it into soup so we can eat it over rice when ready. I’m so proud of this. My family created businesses and made a living from things like this🤎 Many Black Freedmen did. I didn’t realize it at the time but I was being taught to survive doing some of the things I was taught to do growing up. The good old days. - I’ll always be that girl from the South. Resilient ancestors who fought back, family over all, sweet tea everyday, manners most of the time with a lot of hospitality, grandparents/parents had gardens, picking grapes and tomatoes off the vine, eating 🍉 under the trees with my cousins (in my mind their my siblings,) raking straw and leaves, barn fires, washing the 🚗 in the yard, etc. - This is not a bashing post about what people should eat, don’t do or taking shot s at any generation. Please do not make it one. We’re not wagging fingers at generations or taking shots either. I’m also not saying that nobody does this at all anymore. We can have memories or discuss what we do now without somebody coming and being negative or twisting and turning the post. #blackcommunity #blackexperience #blackfamiliesmatter #memories #blackhealthmatters #beingblackinamerica #blackexistence #neverforget #blackinspiration #shareblackstories #explore #✊🏾 #blackhistorymatters #blackhistory365 #blackheroes #blackknowledge #blackgardeners #blackgardener #blacktruth #blackwealthmatters #blacktown #blackland #blackpride #blackpeopleunite #blacklove #blacklegacy #blackmamasmatter #growingupblack #blackfoodie

Born in 1898 in New Liberia, Louisiana, Moore came of age realizing that the promises of equality and security, backed by constitutional amendments, were nonetheless out of reach for most black Americans. Queen Mother Moore was a prominent international advocate for human rights and a black nationalist who fought against social and cultural separation, educational and housing segregation, and the expulsion of black folks from economic life. By the 1950s, Moore boldly declared that “somebody has to pay” for the past and present atrocities black people faced. She allied with other civil rights leaders including Marcus Garvey, Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela, Rosa Parks, and Jesse Jackson to take action. Queen Mother presented two petitions to the United Nations, arguing for self-determination against genocide and the apartheid in South Africa. The petitions produced tangible models for how the federal government should reconcile the atrocities of slavery and asked for land and reparations to be paid to African Americans in the form of 200 billion dollars compensation. Queen Mother Moore’s time came to meet the ancestors on May 2, 1997. Her legacy is an inspiration for our Sankofa Community Research Project as part of our oral history research, where we are collaborating with Black Detroiters to hear their visions for reparations for the ongoing 1-375 reconstruction project. When Black Bottom and Paradise Valley were destroyed, so was our black history. Reparations are due! #blackbottomarchives #SankofaFellowship #sankofacommunityresearch #DetroitHistory #Blacklegacy #preserveblackdetroit #blackbottom #communitarchives #blackstories #blackwomen
