Princeton ROCKS!  Greetings Dieselfunkateers!  I had the honor of touring two amazing student groups from Princeton University.  Our subject was the AMAZING UNVEILING VISIONS show curated by John Jennings and Reynaldo Anderson at the Schomburg Museum.  Each class was led by their illustrious teachers; respectively with class titles, Ruha Benjamin “Black to the Future: Science, Fiction, and Society” and Britt Rusert, "Fantasy in the Hold: Black Fantasy from Equiano to Delany".  I couldn’t have been more impressed by the level of intellectual capacity, social engagement and Artistic curiosity.  Folks, I think we’re gonna be alright!
