Like many, the "billionaire space race" brought to mind Gil Scott-Heron's 1970 poem "Whitey On the Moon" which critiqued race-class dynamics in aftermath of Apollo 11's moon landing.

I cut this video as a meditation on Scott-Heron's words in light of current events. Enjoy✂️🎞️

The love of Black people, the power of Black people, the brilliance of black people... I love to see it. I hope that one day it won’t be tied up by the fight for Black people. #freedomflicks

“Through their art, they gave their hearts” The consistent offering of Black artists to the movement. #FreedomFlicks

Queen Mother Moore the first to name the demand for reparations! Honor Black women. Protect Black women. Follow Black women. #Freedomflicks

I find that what often gets lost, after our male leaders are killed, is the women who continue their charge. Betty Shabazz is a prime example of a woman who’s grand legacy is often over shadowed by that of her husband. #freedomflicks

It has always been clear that liberating the most marginalized among us will liberate ALL of us. Stateside and globally. #freedomflicks

It’s the fro’s and fits for me. Handling business and doing it while looking SHARP. #freedomflicks

[Obs @the1andobi]

These demands are demands we STILL have. It’s frustrating to see. #freedomflicks

[Obs @the1andobi]

“There’s so much meaning in witnessing how we take care of our business.” Say it again! #freedomflicks

[Obs @the1andobi]
