#Repost @iamjamiefoxx ・・・ From the moment Sidney Poitier was born he was destined for greatness… he came to America… Hollywood specifically… from the Bahamas… Armed with his infectious smile… His handsome features…wrapped in impeccable Black skin… he was ready for his artistic battle… And battle he did… as an actor he was transcending… he brought legendary depth to each character along with that distinctive voice that could melt your heart in one moment And shake the rafters to the ground in the next… he rose to the top of Hollywood royalty… at a time where gentleman who looked like him were not always favored… But he didn’t let racism or double standards stand in his way… he was unfazed… And he proved that By having the audacity to be the first black leading man to win An Oscar in 1964 for his performance in the movie Lillies of the field… and at the same time being a human spark for the civil rights movement… as giving as he was in front of the camera… He was just as giving to all he came in contact with him outside of the glitz and lights …I experienced that firsthand on the eve of the Oscars where I was nominated for Ray…I met Mr. Poitier… As I stood there shaking ,tears in my eyes… He put his hands on my shoulders and said… I give you responsibility…The moment was priceless… although he was the biggest and brightest star on the planet he was still willing to teach… if you got a chance to meet him or just watch him from a far… The one teaching he left us was that no matter what color you are, Or where you are from…LIVE FREE!…thank you Sidney for the 94 years of strength… talent… and audacity all wrapped in beautiful black skin… REST IN POWER

#Repost @malcolmjamalwar ・・・ We’re such easy targets. Please be proactive in the fight against dumbing your kids down. ✊🏿🙏🏿🤟🏿♥️. Repost from @therealboycewatkins • I taught in China when I was on the faculty at Syracuse University. I can tell you: Their students are far better prepared than ours. They have a stronger sense of community and cooperation with one another. Roughly 40% of all college graduates in China are ENGINEERS. In fact, they produce more engineers than the US, Japan and India COMBINED. All the while, the US produces hundreds of thousands of high school graduates WHO CAN’T EVEN READ. They are ready for the future, we are not. Get your kids off the death train of American education if you want them to be able to compete with the world. #blackyouth #blackculture #blackculturematters #drboycewatkins #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blackhistory365 #blackhistorymatters #blackhistoryeveryday #blackteens #culture #joy #blackexcellence #hiphopculture
