Charlie Parker and his BeBop

William Gottlieb (1917 – 2006) is known for his sensitive, dignified depictions of jazz greats. Gottlieb developed an interest in their music while listening to a friend’s records while recovering from a spell of food poisoning. Gottlieb documented jazz’s Golden Era for numerous publications, including the Washington Post and Downbeat. For 10 years he took more than 1,600 photos of jazz legends, including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong.

Alvin Ailey

This is a podcast for my computer class. It's about Alvin Ailey and his dance theater. I plan to join them when I get older. Alvin Ailey was an African American dancer. You've probably heard of one of his pieces called Revelations, that's my favorite one. Listen to it PLZ!!! :-D

This cartoon is so funny. I chose it first because Obama was in it, and he is beautiful. I also chose it because it is sooooo true. November 4th, 2008 marked the first day when blacks actually started being treated equally. When the framers of the constitution wrote that in the constitution, it didnt really include African Americans but now that we have the first African American president that we know for a fact is African American, we have equal rights. Before, we were all slaves, under the control of the white man. We couldn't even vote, let alone be a senator, but Brack Obama was a senator and now, he's president. Look at Colin Powell and Al Sharpton. We've come so far and we still have so far to go. Hopefully, other people will start to realize it also and start acting and treating us equally too. Racism will probably never die, but it should start to go down. People will have to except it, its life. We need this change. Here is an article that backs up my opinion even more.

I qo to Bejamin Banneker Academy for Community Development. It's on Clinton ave. It's pretty close to my house. It wasn't my first choose but i didnt qet into my first choice because of my U's and N's in behavior.I'm a freshmen and this school is better than i thouqht it would be. My major is Pre. Med.I'm taking French, U.S. History and Government, Geometry/Math B, English, Computer(of course), Bioloqy/Livinq Environment and Gym of course. I do have friends from my old school(M.S. 113) that qo here. My best friends like Imani and Ashia and Kane. And i qot some new friends like Gloria, and Sssssssasha, and Lanisha. I would have to say that my fav sublect is English because Ms. Ford is just crazcy and funny. Or U.S. History and Government because Ms. Samuels is a very qood teacher and she makes the class fun. The main thinq i like about this school are the people. I like the school so far and I'm hopefully passinq all my classes. I just like to hanq out with my friends or qo shoppinq or run track. I'm on the track team. This a flick of me and sum of my mains in Disney.
