    .... ....> WITHOUT THE FOREFATHERS, THERE WOULD BE NO HIP HOP, NO B-BOYS AND B-GIRLS, NO POPPIN, AND NO LOCKIN'....

    Watch this excerpt from the most famous Lindy Hop/Jitterbug movie ever made, "Hellzapoppin'" from 1941. I have a true interest in this part of our (American) history because my grandparents, lindy hoppers to the core, always educated me on the TRUE origin of the lindy hop and jitterbuggin' and on the talent and skill that it takes to pull it off right...enjoy (IN MEMORY OF MY GRANDMOTHER)!

The photographer for the Boston Herald-American, Stanley Foreman, won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography (spot News Photography) in 1977 for capturing this image.

I have done a little bit of everything and as a Gemini, that's just the way I like it. *smile* I enjoy being able to move in and out of the art community, music world, political affiliations and various social groups. While my first love and loyalty is to my people always and forever, Mo loves everyone and everything worth loving as we are all part of His divine plan.
