Quick Items
These items are coming quickly since my W2 labor obligations are very demanding right about now:
First, never forget about Odetta. Our much favored artist, Fumilayo, owes much respect for her…
The kinté space owes a great deal to The United States of Poetry. Also a shout out goes to Mouth Almighty Records and Bob Holman for having anything constructive to do with the late, great Sekou Sundiata.
The Video Preservation Library: I’m glad it’s out there…

Paul (assuming you actually are Paul D. Miller), I am inspired by your wisdom-based knowledge of my whole being---so, for you, I will stop being a hater. But you must promise to write a Blog on regular basis and see how far you can go between saying nothing and "hating"... Dude, share your research librarian skills with the rest of us...
