BHM TV PBS For All

by Patricia Britt

PBS is one of our greatest black documenters in entertainment, and history. They're presenting Motown 25 tonite the last night of black history month. Please support them so they can support you and tell our stories as priorities when youth need options.

PBS survives on donations. The greater the donor base the more outstanding programming they can attain. $12.00 or $24.00 dollars a year is just a few hamburgers.

BHM Nichelle Nichols Uhuru Star Trek

by Patricia Britt

Nichelle Nichols is one of the trailblazers of screen along with Diahann Carroll, Pam Grier, Barbara McNair, Rosalind Cash. Lena Horne, Claudia McNeil, Hattie McDaniels to name a few.

Thandie Newton & Philicia Rashaad were great in Tyler Perry's Good Deeds. Lets hope he has more story telling, uplifting, thought provoking stories supported by the whacky pipeline for our acting treasures to shine in, and shine on in memory.

BHM Leonard Nimoy Spock Forever

Leonard Nimoy Spock Forever the Teacher
by Patricia Britt

Books: I Am Not Spock Volume One & I Am Spock Volume Two

I found this fitting tribute to Leonard Nimoy in an article by Bryan Bishop about his father introducing him to the Star Trek series, and the lasting impression Leonard Nimoy left on him through the years, as with all of us in the Verge article.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

His final tweet above, he was kind enough to evolve to share himself with his many children across continents, and decades that clamoured for one of his clever words as he lived long, and prospered in the midst of his adoring fans.

Everyone who loved the 1/2 Vulcan could relate to him one on one. So to me it's fitting that he should transcend earth on his journey to the stars in February the month of love, having taught those with and without parents how to be strong and seek the greater good, and be the better soul no matter the adversity encountered, and be up to the task radiated through his acting ability.

The original Star Trek cast did an incredible job of projecting the souls desire to love all and the conflicts of self elevation over the common good on their quest to discover new galaxies. Star Trek will always be the all time best multifaceted look at humanity, and alienicity ever!

The 83 year old conveyed his humanity through acting, directing, and 140 characters that made him a black history legend in my heart for the guidance he poured into his roles.

Like Yul Brynner, Leonard Nimoy's smoking habit ended his long life by COPD.

Post script - Google net neutrality decisions - keeping the status quo is a good thing when you can look at any artist from any era on youtube or research on wikipedia at the same bandwidth speed as pay for play web sites, stay awake and look alive because your vote, and your voice counts if you use it so you can always hear the wisdom of the ages. 

If there is no "Net Neutrality" the Internet will become like a stop light with fast green stations, slow yellow stations, and some red stations that are stopped completely depending on major corporations like Comcast. The issue of Net Neutrality has not been resolved it is expected companies like Comcast will sue to implement the stop light stream to generate more revenue. What they do might be up to you if you write our Congress to legislate Internet freedom.

BHM Music Spinners R & B Legends

The Spinners American R&B Music Legends
by Patricia Britt

In honor of black history month the American R&B music legends the Spinners are the epitome of love and unity in an increasingly harsh world in every genre, and venue of media, and entertainment towards women, and the bond of love. The Spinners did as much, and are still doing for love as much as any musicians in musical history, adding to the sweetness of black history, and the world's love life. The Spinners began in Detroit, and kept the hits alive particularly through the 70's with one original member Henry Fambrough still touring today.

The groups respect for women was evident with every song, melody, and track with classics like Then Came You (Dionne Warwick featured the Spinners), I'll Be Around, Could It Be I'm Falling In Love, and How Could I Let You Get Away. Even with a lovesick man's ballad It's a Shame, the Spinners love of womankind, and humanity still shines through masks of harsh reality in a world desperately in need of a little more lovin.

The Spinners in 1965. From left to right: Billy Henderson, Edgar Edwards, Bobby Smith, Henry Fambrough, and Pervis Jackson.
