Blacque Sistory

This is appropriate not just for the month, but to teach a lesson of education and entertainment internationally. I wrote a poem some years ago inspired by a dream where in this club were legendary figures of the past and I was in the place marveling at the marvelous relevance. Years later, 250 Black women rounded out this fictional interpretation and each time performing I would think "It would be fire to have moving images projected behind me as I recited this". The video here was a struggle to complete but a template for a larger vision in the future had to begin from a foundation. Nevertheless and without excuse, I present to our Blaxploitation Pride community..............

Tom Skinner – Up From Harlem (Blaxploitation Style Comics) ’1975

@ Musicdawn
Thanks to Brother Zen Tiger

"Wazzup brothers & sisters! Today I am pleased to present to you great blaxploitation comics from seventies! The plot is about Tom Skinner trying to instruct ghetto thugs on the gods path. Ohh not again? But it really doesn’t matter because its drawn in true blaxploitation style with lots of gangsters, sluts and ghetto dudes with cool afros! Big thanxes to the real soul brother Zen Tiger for this great blax art sharing!
