Our World Our Time

When we think of great Hi Hop record labels one name that should be in everyone's top five is Sugar Hill Records. I understand that as time goes on and decades pass us by the importance of old labels that no longer exist get lost. We're talking the first label of Hip Hop though. With that comes a name that has also been forgotten in history... Sylvia Robinson. This episode is about the "Mother" of Hip Hop. Please do your own research on this woman who also was an accomplished artists. Thank you for rocking with me and enjoy.

When we think of the Harlem Renaissance we think of the writers and musicians. There were than just those types of artists there. One is this woman who had done so much in her life. Augusta Savage is a name we should all know. Please do your own research on her. We also touch lightly on the Rosa Parks "retelling" out there in Florida. That is something that needs to be talked about later. Thank you to all the listeners.

- Isabel de Olvera

Yes, this is what that young lady wrote. That lady being Isabel de Olvera. Hard to imagine wanted to travel and needing permission to do so. This episode talks about Olvera as well as the so called "gender war" that is going on nowadays. I usually don't go off on a rant, but this gender war stuff has me lost. Add the fact that the story of Olvera shows that women have always wanted to be seen and respected as equal says something. Thank you to everyone who listens to the podcast. For those who want to hear the radio show go here and check the schedule out. I'm on Wednesdays at 8PM and Saturdays at 6PM.

The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth: Mountaineer, Scout and Pioneer, and Chief of the Crow Nation of Indians is a book that gives you the life and times of James Beckwourth. This man had an incredible life. This episode is about him, and I can't lie i found myself speaking on some other things. Read the book, do some research and enjoy this episode.  

The first show of Black History Month. I know I've said many times I would never, NEVER do an easy person like Fredrick Douglas. The thing is he is the main reason why we have Black History Month. Carter G. Woodson who I mistakenly called him Charles... Stain on me for that one. But Woodson wanted to celebrate Black excellence of that time. He then chose February because it was the birth month Douglas as well as Lincoln. Thanks for listening and do your own research and enjoy.

When you think of sugar you should think of Norbert Rillieux. I know sugar gets a bad rap, and it should but we can't blame Norbert Rillieux. Please do your own research on this man and enjoy this episode.

This was actually the last Black History Moment of 2022, I told you before I don't do this in chronological order. This is about Septimius Severus. A lot of people have no idea this is a Black man. Please do your own research and enjoy the show, 

This amazing story came across my timeline on social media, it was about Elizabeth Key Grinstead. The post was more so about who she is related than the historical achievement that she should be known for. I look into the story and found out she was from what is now know as Newport news Va. Grinsyead was the first slave of African descent to be awarded her freedom.  Enjoy this and please do your own research on this story as well. Thank for the support.
