1958 Photo Titled “A Great Day In Harlem” 1958, brought together the likes of Jimmy Rushing, Maxine Sullivan, Coleman Hawkins, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Young, Count Basie, Sonny Rollins, Mary Lou Williams and other jazz greats. You're looking at the single most significant jazz portrait taken in the 20th century. No one believed anyone could gather this many talents and temperments so very early on a summer morning but it all happened like magic, and the world was immediately smitten when this picture was published in Esquire magazine January 1959.

His flow is smooth and liquid, inflected with jazz rhythms and carried off with an effortless cool that makes it sound as though he's not even breaking a sweat. He raised the bar for MC technique higher than it had ever been, helping to pioneer the use of internal rhymes -- i.e., rhymes that occurred in the middle of lines, rather than just at the end. Where many MCs of the time developed their technique through improvisational battles, Rakim was among the first to demonstrate the possibilities of sitting down and writing intricately crafted lyrics packed with clever word choices and metaphors.Chuck D rhymed about all kinds of social problems, particularly those plaguing the black community, often condoning revolutionary tactics and social activism. In the process, he directed hip-hop toward an explicitly self-aware, pro-black consciousness that became the culture's signature throughout the next decade. Diana Ross, born in 1944, American popular singer, one of the most influential recording artists of the Motown era (1960s) and the disco period of rhythm-and-blues (R&B) music (late 1970s to early 1980s). Known for her seductive vocal style and glamorous appearance, Ross helped her vocal group the Supremes become one of the most successful acts in the history of popular music.Prince, born in 1958, popular American singer and songwriter. Prince emerged as one of the most prolific and successful musical artists of the 1980s and an innovator in the blending of rock and funk musical styles.One of BK's Best: BIG Daddy Kane.....“I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning . . . Every day I find something creative to do with my life.” - Miles DavisAngela Davis, Look her up if you don't know.Do your research and see what they really stood for.Young Black Female Panthers..." A people with out knowledge of their past is like a tree without roots"- Marcus GarveySidney Poitier "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in" Rosa ParksShirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm was born in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the first black woman to serve in Congress and the first woman to seek the Democratic presidential nomination.W.E.B Du Bois was the most prominent intellectual leader and political activist on behalf of African Americans in the first half of the twentieth century. A contemporary of Booker T. Washington, the two carried on a dialogue about segregation and political disenfranchisement. He was labeled "The Father of Pan-Africanism."Harriet Tubman is perhaps the most well-known of all the Underground Railroad's "conductors." During a ten-year span she made 19 trips into the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom. And, as she once proudly pointed out to Frederick Douglass, in all of her journeys she "never lost a single passenger."Mother Earth... One who births Nations, Kings, Presidents,etc.......Respect!!
