"I’m old enough to accept the responsibility that I’m an African American, a black artist OK, but a lot of my peers… 'I’m no black artist, I’m just an artist'.  You can go to 90% of the galleries in New York and you’ll never see a physical image of an African-American, unless you’re in Harlem.

 

JoeSam:  "In WW I and II and the Korean war no blacks were given medals of honor.  They were given to their white officers for the heroic deeds they did. "

Lorraine Hansberry

"Lorraine Hansberry's talent was even more exceptional given what she was able to do in the 1950s.  At a time when black writers were not being noticed, she was visionary, she was absolutely amazing.

Blues for an Alabama Sky at LHT

 

The Lorraine Hansberry has undergone a renaissance of its own… so it seemed fitting … when host of The Bronze Report Barbara Rodgers  stopped by, Pearle Cleage’s play about the Harlem Renaissance was onstage…  Blues For an Alabama Sky.

The red carpet was hot on opening night of the newly renovated, newly restored Howard Theatre in Washington DC. A homecoming for some… like Smokey, and Dionne Warwick.  They played there during its heyday, and what a long and storied time it was.
