Occasionally, I will alert fellow members to product updates by creators I have reviewed in the past year or so.
That's all I could find this month. Feel free to piggyback onto this post if a reviewed creator has posted an update in the past 5 months. Or if you're a creator I've reviewed, mention your newest work!
Who owns the rights to most of the material, books, and music, and posters sold to school systems annually to expouse the values of the "Harlem Renaissance"? Are these publishers and distributors as Black as the content? Do due royalties go to the hires or estates of the folks served up as creative or historic icons? Or are these source of revenue leeching massive profits away from the community being educated?
This processing of "the New Negro" is still making money .....but for whom?
Not to mention how this nexus of schools, publishers and distributors, which tends to avoid indie Black owned operations, and pimps Black Culture when it comes to the money.

AMANDA VOISARD/AP Demonstrators gather to protest against the separation of immigrant families at the border in Austin. |
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
The New Colossus, Emma Lazarus
