#art #history: somebody mentioned 'mississippi goddam' &, geography aside, it perfectly expresses my feelings about today's unholy balderdash - which makes it serendipitous that nina simone would have celebrated her 91st #otd.
she needs no drivel from me. you all know how phenomenal she was & what an indelible mark she left upon the world of both music & activism. just put some records on & raise a tipple to eunice kathleen waymon!

#art #history: eunice kathleen waymon (whom, inspired by simone signoret in 'casque d'or', changed her name so she could play clubs without embarrassing her mum) was - from the instant she felt earth's cold air on her newborn's skin - fierce. [A THREAD]
