Happy Earth Day Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey





Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey was born in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, on 17 August 1887. He founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in August of 1914, in hopes of uniting all Afrikans of the diaspora under a geo-political umbrella.
Garvey's life and words would serve to inspire generations, Leonard Howell and El-Hajj Malik Shabazz (Malcom X), to name few.
Short and sweet. Salut!

Documentary on UK Hip-Hop "Bad Meaning Good"



Found this while looking for footage to chop-up for a presentation on ladies and the Hip-Hop process. Dope short by Time Westwood for BBC on the rise of the UK Hip-Hop scene. Originally aired on BBC circa '87 featuring acts from the UK and US scene. Dig the piece on fly girls, the Cookie Crew.
Big ups!
