From The Age Of Extraordinary Bands. EW&F drew inspiration from Ramsey Lewis to Ramses II. As well as from the Chicago Black Arts Movement, which heard Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, & Electric Miles as its vibrational soundtrack, with Eddie Harris & Les McCann's "Compared To What?!" on the side.

The music you know. The story you don’t. Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson tells the story of the Grammy-award winning band chronicling their evolution, highs and lows, spiritual meaning, and lasting legacy. #EarthWindandFireHBO premieres June 7 on @HBOMax.

Trump to Deploy 5,000 Troops to Poland, Surprising the Pentagon ‘His apparent reversal was the latest in series of head-snapping announcements that have stunned leaders of Poland, and could send the wrong signal to Russia.’ nytimes.com/2026/05/21/us/… via @NYTimes

What if we followed Fannie Lou Hamer’s #FreedomDemocraticParty example, run our own slate of representatives and challenge to have them seated? What if we hold a parallel people’s government if that slate is turned away? What if Black Voters form a PanAfrican political party?

Black Studies is one of the most important fields of research in the United States because it does not merely study society; it studies the machinery that has organized society through domination, theft, oppression, racial hierarchy, and white supremacist violence. More than almost any other discipline, Black Studies confronts white supremacism not as an abstract prejudice, but as a global system that has shaped law, education, medicine, capitalism, policing, housing, war, culture, and the very meaning of who gets to be seen as fully human. That is why its enemies are never accidental. It is no coincidence that white supremacists—whether white themselves or non-white people seeking refuge in the privileges of whiteness—consistently attempt to dismantle Black Studies. They are not simply afraid of a curriculum. They are afraid of what happens when Black students gain access to the intellectual tools to name the world, critique the world, and remake the world. They are threatened by Black presence in spaces they imagined as white, white-adjacent, or obedient to white approval. Black Studies is dangerous to them because it teaches that oppression is not natural, that history is not neutral,that liberation is not a fantasy, and that liberators are to be loved and honored. It exposes the lie beneath the institution(s). It reminds us that the classroom can become a site of struggle, that study can become a form of resistance, and that knowledge, when rooted in Black epistemology, and consciousness, can become a weapon against the world that tried to bury it. Always pay close attention to the things your enemies want eradicated and erased. Because what they try to strangle and suffocate, is often where the truth is alive and breathing.

Superb to learn so much in Burkina Faso about the revolutionary process as it evolves, with tough times ahead and complexities on that road. But the shining example of Thomas Sankara, my hero when I was in college, and the Burkinabé Revolution remains intact.

The NAACP has filed a lawsuit alleging Tennessee’s new congressional map intentionally discriminates against Black voters by dismantling the state’s only majority-Black district. Our right to fair representation was paid for with blood, sacrifice, and generations of struggle. We cannot allow political games to silence Black voices or weaken Black voting power. thehill.com/homenews/state…

En RDC, dire que « Félix Tshisekedi déstabilise la RDC » peut aujourd’hui coûter un emploi, voire mener à une arrestation. Le plus inquiétant, c’est que le gouvernement semble penser la même chose : certaines opinions politiques doivent être punies.

We should never, and must never forget these victims of white supremacist violence. 10. Innocent Black people in Buffalo New York murdered by a white supremacist.
Don Salmon@dijoni

@BrianHudak4 Remember, there was 10 victims murdered at a supermarket by a white supremacist gang member.

The Berlin Conference still has an effect on Africa, but no African leader seems to care, including the African Union.

Agreed @AfrikanCeeBee! It would be great to collaborate with @iaamuseum on the 1526 Symposium September 24-25, 2026! Please inbox me your email address!
Camille B@AfrikanCeeBee

@samoryba @Morehouse @ggchc Yes! I wish we would lift up 1526. 1619 is a good place to start studying our time in American bondage, but 1526 is the beginning. The International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina shows the history in multidisciplinary ways. They also have excellent books!
