But\, we do produce violence when the tipping points are reached. ... I disagree with both of you. I do n't think the lack of media outlets wanting to display the Summer of Soul is a shame. Ownership matters folks. You both mentioned how Gil Scott Hero n or the Last Poets were not on the bill. But that was and is part of the problem. White people own media outlets that allow all spectrums of the wh ite community to speak. Name me one Black owned media outlet that serves f ive unique black segments in the black community? Yes\, my parents remembe r that concert. To be blunt\, Harlem has a long history of similar events. That famous photo at Duke Ellington's house is not a joke. Harlem between the 1920s -1970s had the greatest collection of black entertainers for a region in any city in the usa. The recording of the concert was a surprise for my parents. ... Don\, no one is a complete encyclopedia:)\n\n\n\n  \ n\n\n\n Someone somewhere in the internet stated the Black community ended the great era of Black Music in the 1970s\, I oppose that position. The f ollowing is my reply\n\n\n\n We didn't end it. All musical eras end. To be blunt\, the black community in usa had many great musical times after the war between the states. The st louis/to harlem slide jazz era. The big ba nd era. The R&\;B initial era. Motown. Many great black songwriters in each of those eras. We didn't end \, we changed. Black people in the usa's music changes as we change. The reason why we made the blues is cause rig ht after the war between the states\, many of us had a sadness\, a blue mo od. When we started growing more financially positive\, actually getting w hites to allow us to own businesses or get paid to do ork while still bein g nonviolent <\;not saying all black people wanted that but I comgress&g t\;\, we turned the blues into rhythm and blues. After world war II when t he black community oddly enough had large financial growth for individuals \, we created rock and roll from R&\;B which is from the Blues. We crea ted Funk as a blues version of the motown sound. Where motown was manicure d black music for the white audience\, in the same vein as scott joplin's minstrel music\, which he did alongside his ragtime works. Ragtime was in my view\, a piano version of jazz\, which was started with horned instrume nts in new orleans.  Jazz progressed from the northern expansion. Startin g from the storyville's of new orleans to St Louis\, to Chicago to HArlem\ , to every bar from Shanghai to Berlin to Rio de janeiro to calcutta to Ca iro all around the earth\, jazz was played at one time\, a rare achievemen t for one art form. So much so that colleges throughout humanity teach jaz z. Many surviving jazz musicians were able to financially survive being th e first jazz teachers in schools where only white jazz teachers may exist today.  No\, black music changes as black people change. House Music come s from the urban black community\, which in the vein of funk fuses all the many prior musical forms from Blues or Jazz. But with a larger technologi cal capability than Funk\, which began using tech in unique ways for music . We didn't end it. Today you can hear way too many excellent black blues musicians under 50\, black jazz musicians under 50. White owned media comp anies dominate the industry and they prefer pop music\, which is hat Motow n or the Ragtime was. All three are intended to appeal to mass audiences\, be good to sell. All three evaded or try to evade cultural friction. So\, all is good\, the black musical heritage lives in the black community for me\, and continuous to grow or change\, becoming more global\, having mor e linguistical width than in the past\, more cultural variance. All is goo d. \n\n\n\n \n\n Movies That Move We video Review\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L1bNVo8gYU\n\n  \n\n\n\n  \ n\n\n\n Original Post\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmur ray/?status=1587&\;type=status\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210728 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
