Let us honor the inventor of the folding chair, Nathaniel Alexander.
A great day in Black American History 😂😆🤣
Our ancestors were smiling from heaven on this day
All the uncles, aunties, and cousins had great form!!
Even in South Africa we celebrated this moment with y'all
I can watch the Montgomery Riverfront brawl all day❤️
The retribution, justice, and camaraderie in this moment in the culture. Never forget this feeling.
This should be a National Holiday!!! Great moment in Black History 😂😂😂
In 1855, John Cram, an African American, invented the folding chair. When he invented it, he had no idea that his invention would be used as a weapon for justice!!!
This is a proud moment of coming together and standing up for what is right
