If we don’t step up to preserve our history, it could be erased. It’s always good to see those who have the means do what they can to help maintain their story and our story. #Repost @blackenterprise with @get_repost ・・・ Business titan @MellodyHobson and her husband, Star Wars filmmaker George Lucas, filed a court motion seeking control of the Ebony and Jet archives just weeks after the magazines’ former owner, Johnson Publishing Co. (JPC), filed for bankruptcy. According to The Wall Street Journal, the power couple is seeking to take control of the magazines’ archives, which contain thousands of historic photos and recordings of African American people, culture, and events. JPC filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy earlier this month, putting the magazines’ collection of iconic footage, chronicling more than 70 years of African American life, in jeopardy. The archives include original photos of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his funeral, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Langston Hughes, and Maya Angelou. It also includes photos taken of Emmett Till’s 1955 funeral along with a host of images published during the civil rights movement. . . . . . #jetmagazine #ebony #blackhistory #ebonymagazine #blackexcellence #blacklivesmatter #africanamerican #blackculture #blackenterprise #mellodyhobson #georgelucas #starwars #johnsonpublishing https://www.instagram.com/bigbabarob/p/BwwXFaHhhpX/?igshid=1bvnvwnr4nh84

It was a night to remember. Proud and inspired by my dear friend and #uclaanderson classmate Danielle @sunshine.n.sea who won the #JohnWooden award. #MellodyHobson reminded us to “Speak your truth, be patient, be brave and don’t major in the minor” #WoodenAwards #whyanderson #UCLA (at The Beverly Hilton) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5mvCwyAA_2/?igshid=zrinl3tf88a9

CONGRATULATIONS to the Formidable @SandraJacksonDumon & to #GeorgeLucas & wife @MellodyHobson to appointing #SandraJacksonDumont as the Director & CEO of their $1billion @LucasMuseum of Narrative Art in LA! What a gain for LA & the museum world & loss for #MetropolitanMuseumOfArt @METmuseum where Jackson-Dumont has been doing an amazing job since 2014 heading the education & public programs. Jackson-Dumont says realizing the #LucasMuseum as an “innovative place of relevance & inspiration” is top of mind. Museums often times feel at arms length fr the public & so much of the work that I’ve done either as a curator or as a programmer or as an administrator has been about, how do we make museums relevant & engaging & mean something to people’s everyday lives? Those can be inspiring connections — sometimes they’re comfortable, sometimes they’re uncomfortable — & I think that the objects that are in this amazing collection speak to opportunities to connect to visual storytelling in ways that make people really have discussions. So I’m excited about that.” Lucas Museum co-founder & co-CEO & Ariel Investments Co-Chief Executive & President #MellodyHobson said in an interview that Jackson-Dumont’s background was especially fitting w the museum’s civic-minded & educational mission. “We’re building a school for schools, I’ve said that many, many times,” Hobson said. “The museum is located within a hotbed of schools, literally 500 schools within a 5mile radius. That’s breathtaking. Not to mention the university [#USC] there. So we have this constant pipeline of attendees & the ability to educate them — that’s always been front & center as a mission. So the idea that we could get someone who has distinguished herself fr the perspective of education at one of the best museums in the world, #TheMET, we just thought: This is a great foundation on which to build.” Of Jackson-Dumont, she added: “She has a vision & a point of view. She just stood out.” The museum will house “Art that tells a story” CONTINUED ⬇️ (at Lucas Museum of Narrative Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4TArngFN_H/?igshid=1hjtt3up22igw

(During Summer 2016) I had the pleasure of meeting these two beautiful and talented women: #MellodyHobson and #LindaYu! Individually they gave me words of wisdom, words that I'll always remember as I continue my journey; but overall they told me to "never stop following your dreams and always do what you love, everything else will follow." Thank you ladies for being great examples of excellence in the field of Business and Media!!! 😘💋💋💋 #ChicagoKids #GirlBoss
