@ADBoyntonII Recently Jamaica Kincaid had a reading of her children’s book Gardening for Colored Children. One of the questions the mod asked was is it a child’s book using Latin and sophistication? She said children can handle complex things and deserved more than Bluey!

@redclayscholar @NewBlackMan Malcolm X was a huge fan of Billie Holiday. MLK had Mahalia Jackson sing Precious Lord, Take My Hand written by cello Georgian Dr. Thomas A Dorsey

[Deitrah Taylor @deejay0784]

@redclayscholar @NewBlackMan Also Little Richard had his hit Tutti Fruitii in 1955 around the same time as the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Both revolutionaries events facilitated by Georgians. I am a public historian and used to work at the defunct GA music hall of fame in Macon. I connected these dots there.

@redclayscholar @NewBlackMan Dr. Dorsey was in Ma Rainey’s band. Another GA connection. Dorsey wrote the song after the tragic deaths of his wife and child.
