❤️Black History Month Prompt❤️
Haza, everyone. Rooster Collins has a hashtag black History Month's story prompt for swell. And my prompt is going to be a celebration of black artists and their contributions to society. So left a few images here, a couple ideas, little lookbook, maybe help you branch out. If you take a look and scroll through the images, you probably get a nice preview of the people that I'll be celebrating this month. At the bottom, there's a book called the Black Poets
And they have that mass appeal for some reason, but they actually have it. So I think that when it came to the comedians and artists of all kinds during the civil rights movement and even before the actual, quote, unquote movement start the time that we recognize as the civil rights movement, I think when it came to, it always came to a time when they had to acknowledge the presence of race and what it deprived them
And I've showed that video in my classroom several, several times, and everybody's just, like, dumbfounded, like, oh, my God, did he just admit that? And how many people missed that because they weren't looking for it? Peace and power to the people. Thanks for letting me reply on your swell

This is my exploration in the black artist because like you said, I want people to think outside of what is artist. That's writers, painters, filmmakers, actors. Anybody that is black and has created art is in desperate need of celebration. And thank you. Dick Gregory is on the top of that list. And I put a screen cap of a video that he's on, on YouTube and it is
There's power that comes from standing up, speaking your mind, and making people laugh about it. It's a black, the black soul has that gifted spades, and they've been inspiring people through comedy, starting with Dick Gregory and moving forward. And you don't even have to look to Eddie Murphy, Red Fox, Richard Pryor. Yeah, we're going to have to celebrate Richard Pryor this month. Everybody's coming in hot
