The Maud Sulter Annual Lecture
31 October, Glasgow School of Art – free
Pratibha Parmar met Maud Sulter in the mid 1980’s when many outside the mainstream arts establishment were committed to growing a vibrant Black women’s arts movement. Parmar will talk about these foundational moments in dialogue with Sulter’s work & their reverberations today.

On this day in 1915, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the "original soul sister" and "Godmother of rock and roll" was born.
"Rock 'n' roll was bred between the church and the nightclubs in the soul of a queer black woman in the 1940s named Sister Rosetta Tharpe."

"#LetitiaJames criminally charged in #Trump’s latest effort to punish rivals"
A number of prominent #blackwomen are targeted by Trump's ugly vindictiveness
Know what #racialEquality would look like in the #USA?
If James wrote 20 ALL CAP #socialMedia screeds at 3 AM, like Trump, in response
And it didn't count against her
She would never, she's not a #manchild
It makes you think
About #humiliation, #anger, #whitePrivilege, being #black in #America

“When I die, I want to be remembered as a woman who lived in the 20th century & who dared to be a catalyst of change. I don't want to be remembered as the 1st Black woman who went to Congress. And I don't even want to be remembered as the 1st woman who happened to be Black to make a bid for the Presidency. I want to be remembered as a woman who fought for change in the 20th century. That's what I want.”

"My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style."
