Mocha fleur: My hair isn't a political playground: As a white person should you ask Black people about their hair? Yesterday I was in my first class of the day minding my own business; being in the state I was in from the recent lost in my family, I definitely wasn’t in the mood to be questioned by the sudden change of my hair.

Mocha fleur: Here are books for you to be a decent person. Enjoy this list, I’ am not your educator but these people have taken the time to write about their personal experiences/lives/poetry/statics/facts on racism and sexism and intersectionality that is often times ignored.

Happy 82nd Birthday to my FAVORITE Aunt Mildred Taylor (nee Green) my grandmother’s baby sister. In the 1950s, she competed (and won!) in “Negro” beauty pageants and did some local modeling in our hometown of Newark, NJ. I wanted to show you what she looked like today to show you that Vintage Black Glamour can last for a lifetime. Happy Birthday Aunt Mildred!

Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe invites visitors to explore the roles of Africans and their descendants in Renaissance Europe as revealed in compelling paintings, drawings, sculpture and printed books of the period. Vivid portraits from life both encourage face-to-face encounters with the individuals themselves and pose questions about the challenges of color, class, and stereotypes that this new diversity brought to Europe. Despite the importance of the questions posed for audiences today, this is the first time they have been addressed in a major exhibition. Organized by the Walters, the exhibition opens in Baltimore on October 14 and at the Princeton University Art Museum in February 2013. It will feature about 75 works of art drawn from the Walters, major museums in the U.S. and Europe, and private collections.
October 13, 2012 - January 21, 2013 at the Walters Museum, located @ 600 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201.
I’m posting this in the Lancelot/Once Upon a Time tag because, though i don’t follow Once Upon a Time, I keep seeing people on my dash upset that Lancelot is black because “there were no black people in Europe at the time”. this exhibition proves that wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt.important
