KATRINA POTTER: First person to refuse to leave her house on a rainy day to avoid getting her hair wet.
ever wonder who was the first person to smack somebody for touching her hair? or who coined the phrase “long hair, don’t care?”
if so, it’s your lucky day! actually, it’s your lucky month—i have a fun little tumblr called Little Known Black History Facts that celebrates the unsung pioneers that aren’t given spots in the history books. the whole site isn’t about hair, but there’s definitely some hair history buried in those stacks.
i only do Little Known Black History Facts once a year, during Black History Month (this is the third year, i think), so you have the whole month to catch some golden little tidbits of hair history, like the first person to use a grocery bag as a shower cap.
the first fact goes up at midnight tonight, the first official second of Black History Month. feel free to follow!
**important note: Little Known Black History Facts is a humorous site full of whimsical, made up facts. if you’re easily offended, or are offended at the very idea of parodying black history, i won’t be offended if you ignore it.
