Black Music Berlin

Hey what's up my name is Shon (http://facebook.com/shonstarr) and I moved to Berlin from the "City of Brotherly Love" aka Philadelphia in the Spring of 2013... I created this tumblog to highlight Berlin's "Black" music & nightlife scene both past and present... Whether you are an artist, musician, DJ, or just a fan of "Black Music" hopefully you will enjoy this page.

Martin Luther King, Jr. visiting the Berlin Wall in 1964.  MLK visited and gave speeches in both East & West Berlin.  There is even an interesting story about how MLK had to use his American Express card to get across the border into the East since officials had confiscated his passport and detained his interpreter to deter his East Berlin visit.

The two Jr's... Sammy Davis, Jr. and Martin Luther King, Jr. sharing a laugh...

HAPPY MLK DAY! Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is an American federal holiday marking the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15.  King was the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law.
