Do you know who you are? (168 hits)

The beautiful and illustrative elements of African art (its ingenious people), possess a fine and creative power. The production of aesthetic sounds, liberation, and decorative wisdom claiming scholars noble, are but a taste of Africa’s stylish brilliance.
Mentally, it is inconceivable anything of greater enthusiasm or of a more tender attachment, than Africa’s revitalizing sense of intellect.

Let nothing cause the prints of your journey to be erased…preserve them at once. Those places where the movement was initiated…rights won…activist died; too, where artist made history. Allow these moments historic value, and not by that which America jokingly recognize and celebrates, but by that which your spirit dances and tears embrace.
The Harlem School of Arts still sounds of opera singer Betty Allen’s presence…the Audabon Ball Room remains to move of Malcolm X’s political objectives…Harlem’s Opera House and Savoy Ball Room; where Ella Fitzgerald performed…Louis Armstrong can be felt jazzing up the New York’s Roseland Ballroom, and The Dance Theatre of Harlem, which I sweetly embrace as being the taste of a chocolate city.
Alice Walker a Pulitzer winner for her first novel, the third life of Orange Copeland, and Ralph Waldo Ellison, a novelist who drawn on his own life experience with the book, “the invisible man.” Ellison said: “I write to try and make sense of chaos, thus good fiction is made out of that which is real, and reality is difficult to come by.” Ellison’s book told of truth about how it feels to be young and hopeful, yet, have such feelings destroyed by racism.

With great fervor the elders should anticipate with eagerness, “the re-establishment” of proper black conduct, because it gives an extra ordinary yet clear influence, nothing less than birthing morals amongst polite society and its living.

Absolutely agree with you 100 percent Mario. People of color have such a very rich history that spans far across the Altantic Ocean.

I am amazed everytime I see a person of color and wha they have offered us all collectively. I receive daily emails with accomplishments of African - African American people and their contributions 365 days / year. So my history isn't limited to Febuary brother.

Thanks for this post and it's nice to see your post here from such a very long hiatus:)
