Right in the middle of Brooklyn’s main China town.

You can see from google the store looks like noting special but the two ladies working in the front are very nice. No debit or credit cards tho I think.

Make sure you get the avocado milkshake.

They also have jackfruit milkshake and I think they have that smelly fruit milkshake called Durian milkshake as well.

Nah, that's where they were from. My direct ancestors were Oberlin educated fpoc and the first settlers of Rumley. It's a dead town now.

Shelby County Historical Society - Black History - Rumley

The 1846 edition of Howe’s "History of Ohio" says of Rumley, "There are 400 Negroes (half the population of Van Buren Township) as prosperous as their white neighbors and equal to the whites in morals, religion and intelligence."

The free blacks there had money and education and quite frankly were more sophisticated than the white population. Interestingly, interracial marriages were not a big deal because of the high status of black folks and this was even back in like 1830. Most of the free families there migrated from Virginia.

My direct ancestors left before the turn of the century for Chicago after moving from Rumley which was north of Anna, down the series of town finally into Piqua. Family that stayed behind are in between Springfield, Yellow Springs, Columbus and Westerville.

Rumley was not an anomaly. Actually, Central Ohio was populated by towns founded by freeman and freedman who did better than the local white populations.
Those are country ass areas, breh. Relax.

Yep, then we get butt hurt when situations like this happen.



Thanks, knew about earlier controversies, but not this one.
SHAME ON Lonnie Bunch for this, though

But a lot of us don't know hip hop history. Hip Hop has always been a part of my life, not just the music, and I JUST learned the truth of its history thanks to "illmaticdelta", and "Michaelwaynetv". Yes, i knew most it, but very important parts, I didn't know the truth, just myths that everyone else was repeating.

Most historians are just too scared to go to the hood, and do research. I think this is why a lot of black history isn't told truthfully, researchers are just too scared to go into the poor areas to find shyt out! I notice whoever is the bridge between the hood, and the meida, tend to be the ones who try to take the praise or somehow make it about them or their friends.

To her credit, there were a lot of hip hop industry people that worked with her who came out in her defense claiming she was legit and was serious about the authenticity of the culture.
Your point about many Black PhD and EdD who grew up in the culture is correct, but just because you have credentials behind your name, doesn't qualify you to tell the story. You can contribute your voice and even be considered a subject matter/expert, but I wouldn't hire you to tell the story.
Her background includes curatorial research and collecting, archival work, collections management, and program production.
This is the type of person that you want to tell a story, and unfortunately, were not promoting archivist work in the black community which is what I was alluding to earlier.
Because one may have first hand experience of the culture, that means one can only tell the story from that perspective.
Curators and archivist collect the many and varied individual perspectives and tell a story at a more macro and all-encompassing level.
The Obama Library right now is having an issue hiring black librarians and archivist because it's just too few out there.
That's about to be the new outrage in a minute when folks find out that the South Side library in the black side of town is being forced to hire white librarians. It's not their fault.
We need more folks getting into this line of work.
I understand your professor's disappointment but clearly the white students were in a better position to tell you all about your own black history in those first few days even though you and your families experience it first hand.

The director of the museum in DC is from Newark, NJ............home of one of the better museums on the East Coast
Here is the current director of the Newark Museum
DSCF6596reduced.jpg

Linda Harrison will be the next director and CEO of the Newark Museum in New Jersey. She takes the place of Steven Kern, who resigned in late 2017 to become president of the Asbjorn Lunde Foundation.

Harrison has led the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) in San Francisco since 2013 as CEO and director. Prior to her role at MoAD, she was a business owner in San Francisco and a vice president at Eastman Kodak. A Getty Foundation Executive Leadership Institute Fellow, Harrison is on a variety of nonprofit boards and committees, including the program committee for the American Alliance of Museums.
===============================

We grew up visiting this museum and most of the ones in the tri-state area. There are a lot of Black people working in different capacities in that field in the NY,NJ,CT area. Lot of Black people with doctorates teaching courses about hip hop culture or who have written their dissertations about hiphop culture in the past 25 years.
In this area, there have been all types of festivals, exhibits, documentaries, art galleries,etc based on the popularity of hip hop to mainstream and international audiences. The panelists, curators, producers of these events have been the people from the two groups mentioned above. I've seen their faces/bios in the programs for the events

Like I said, I looked up this white woman's background and credentials and I'm not impressed.

I get your overall point, in fact I agree & cosigned it with a candid personal account.
The example I used, of that class of misguided 18 year olds, taking that class with white kids who probably went on to major in that field was a lesson well learned. 2 lessons actually(These white folks are not playing & they know more about you than YOU)

We do need to document and archive our history in WRITTEN form. With the tools available to us there is no reason not to. Doing it orally (pause) is not the way to archive it.

And they got it wrong!

I can't tell you how many times I've heard some Professor or some type of historian get so much wrong about hip hop. This is before I learned so much from the internet. Even Krs-one got so much wrong with his lectures. Even his song "South Bronx" is wrong, because Kool Herc lived in the west Bronx. What's crazy is Krs-one said he lived a few blocks away from herc, and STILL got that wrong!

Again, hip hop came from the dirt, and most scholars were scared to go these areas. A lot of the info came from people who had intentions on getting money, and fame, not tell the truth!

As far as black Sandwiches, I never seen other people eat egg sandwiches(with mayonaise) as much as black people. It could have been different other places, IDK . Fried fish sandwich is a given.
