Recognize this?

It’s FDR in one the most well-known presidential portraits and is featured on the US dime.

It was sculped by Selma Burke, a black sculptor and a pioneer in the Harlem Renaissance.

Happy black history month!

I love books. Its also hard to find book recommendations that are by authors of color that house characters of color in deep thought provoking contexts.

I played Sharpay in my school’s production of High School Musical (I’m a 6ft tall guy) and I shared the part with this girl who looked nothing like Sharpay either. Instead of having one of us play Sharpay the first night and the other one play it the following night, the first person would run off in the middle of the scene and the other one of us would run on the stage and finish the scene. Also, all the costumes were only in her size.
