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."

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
