“Black joy is the component that shows that we’re human. This could have been that moment had it been allowed the spotlight that Woodstock had gotten.” Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson discusses his award-winning documentary “Summer of Soul” and explains why the summer of 1969 wasn’t as one-dimensional as history makes it appear. #DailyShow

    I saw the doc on an airplane flying to Europe last Fall and was blown away. I lived in NYC in 1969 and I hadn’t heard of it because all the news was about Woodstock that summer.

    Finding out black erasure isn’t an Erasure cover band was eye opening…

    tranisitioning from instinct to logic
    may come with pensiveness
    & devotion
    that later desire
    recpriocated conveys
    in the form of acknowledgment;

    to me that’s Black Lives Matter.

    &not to divy, but I know you caring folk
    may wonder; lations’ imperialism
    wounds
    are similar to this cycle
    however with more
    rawr & servitude.

    which makes our (latino) criminals
    easier to romantize…
    is where my mind goes.

    I want to see ‘Aespa’ here showing their talent because they are representative of the 4th generation of idols and are the first ‘metaverse’ idols, they are idols who show how technology is getting more sophisticated so that they can produce something extraordinary

    The Mavis Staples and Mahalia Jackson moment was my absolute favorite part of the film. Pure magic. And Nina Simone was a true inspiration. She was a goddess of black liberation and power.
