Through the lens of Bisan Owda, we see how people in Gaza still find moments to laugh, swim and feel alive – even during war.

This couple dedicated over 60 years to creating animated content for Black children worldwide… ❤️

Meet Willie Hudlin and Leo Sullivan—two pioneers who helped shape representation in animation when it was nearly nonexistent for Black audiences.

Together, they worked behind the scenes to bring Black stories, characters, and culture to life through animation. When opportunities were limited, they built their own path.

🎬 Their work contributed to projects that:
• Showed Black families, humor, and everyday life
• Created characters kids could see themselves in
• Opened doors for future Black animators and creators

One of the most recognizable results is Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids—a show that entertained, educated, and uplifted.

💡 Why this matters:

Representation isn’t just about visibility—it’s about identity.

When children see themselves reflected in positive, creative ways:
• Confidence grows
• Possibilities expand
• Dreams become real

This couple didn’t just create cartoons. They helped shape how generations of Black children saw themselves.

Happy Birthday to the late Coretta Scott King. She was an author, activist, civil rights leader and the wife of Martin Luther King Jr.

She wasn’t just the wife of an American hero, she was an icon in her own right.

Rooting on a Black woman’s downfall and rejoicing in her pain is more than corny, it’s misogynoir

At this point, you are either pro-humanity or pro-genocide, there is no in-between.

Israelis came to her store asking for books about Jerusalem. She said:

“I gave them very old books that describe that land as Palestine, books older than 100 years, older than their ethnic state which they founded to replace Palestine. They got angry, and that’s a good thing.”

Raise your voice for this woman

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry.
She does not get the credit she deserves.

—Sister Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was an innovative gospel singer widely recognized today as the godmother of rock and roll.

Tharpe is the first known artist not only to use an electric guitar in gospel music but to give the instrument a melodic role as important as the voice’s role.

During her musical bridges, Tharpe would give free reign to her formidable guitar playing talent, unfolding soaring melodic lines puncuated by deep chordal rips and the occasional jump and leg pump; in essence developing musical tropes in the 1930s that would later be adopted by rock and roll legends Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and Johnny Cash.
Tharpe’s innovation was not always well-received, with traditionalists regularly criticizing and devaluing her innovation.

Despite these attempts to derail her career or persuade her to adopt traditional approaches to gospel music, Tharpe remained deeply rooted in her religious beliefs and values and used her unique musical style to bring gospel music to audiences who would never have otherwise listened to it. Tharpe’s contribution to the development of the rock and roll idiom was finally recognized in 2018, when she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
