Sunshine and Funk (A winter soul party from me to you)

-
The shortest month of the year should be the easiest, but it never is. Black History Month, coupled with the fact that my dad died in this month, make it busy and sorrowful for me. Busy and sorrowful are waters that are strange to navigate, and I for damn sure don't feel like preaching any black history today. So here is something that makes me smile every time I hear it, and I hope it will make you smile, too. Roy Ayers' "Sunshine". It's the herald of Spring, the promise of Summer.




And while we're at it, to keep it Gotham, lets add Tom Browne, jazz trumpeter from Queens, with his classic "Funkin' for Jamaica (New York)".

Bill Clinton), that the convoy's commander had recommended. I know Mr. DuFau because the story of the Mason was on the cover of the second issue of American Legacy. I wasn't the editor then, but Mr. DuFau keeps in touch, dropping by the office from time to time, and attending some of our events with his wife. He is a truly sweet gentle man, who, last time he went fishing, and knowing that I love seafood, ...

A Zangbeto at rest. Zangbeto are the Vodou guardians of the night among the Ogu or Egun people of Benin, Togo and Nigeria. They are charged with maintaining law and order, and keeping communities safe and secure.   In order for us to even begin to dismantle the artificial construct called race, and the racism against people of color that it serves, we need to decolonize our minds. And that begins with our origin stories. I'll let Djimon Hounsou speak in In Search of Voodoo: Roots to Heaven on YouTube movies or Amazon Prime . This is for folks who feel they'd like to begin decolonizing their minds.    Trigger Warning: There are scenes of animal sacrifice in this film. Bear in mind our own treatment of animals in the American agricultural industrial complex and how we benefit from it. Bear in mind that kosher and halal meat is prayed over by holy men to make it pure. Bear in mind that animal sacrifice is also part of the monotheistic (Judaic, Christian, Isla...
