Trajal Harrell is a cult figure for many. The #NewYork master confronts the old conflict between #AfricanAmerican dance and the Postmodernism of white stars of #USdance: https://tanz.dance/in-front-of-mirrors/?lang=en His “Deathbed” in #Antwerp, Toenellhuis, April 22

Turns out many people have been using “Unc” all wrong. “You’d never know the meaning of 'Unc' or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media, and sometimes even independent media,” Gita Jackson writes for @Aftermath. So, here’s what it means and how slang terms that originate from African American Vernacular English — “chopped,” “clocked it,” “the tea,” “no cap,” and “it’s giving” — sometimes get miscategorized. Plus, a pull quote that might stay with you for a while: “Non-black people want to take everything from us except the weight of our history.”

You’d never know the meaning of unc or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media.

Aftermath
"Alexander's Ragtime Band" is a #TinPanAlley song by American composer #IrvingBerlin released in 1911; it is often inaccurately cited as his first global hit. Despite its title, the song is a #march as opposed to a #rag and contains little #syncopation. The song is a narrative sequel to Berlin's earlier 1910 composition "Alexander and His Clarinet". This earlier composition recounts the reconciliation between an #AfricanAmerican musician named Alexander Adams.

Red Reviews: W.Z. Foster’s “The Negro People in American History”

The great labor leader and former General Secretary and Chairman of the CPUSA, William Z. Foster, wrote hundreds of articles and pamphlets, giving a Marxist-Leninist analysis to the events and struggles of the day. He also wrote a number of longer books, especially in his later years. 

Foster wrote three major books summing up his experience as a revolutionary organizer in the trade union movement, From Bryan to Stalin (1937), Pages From a Worker’s Life (1939), and American Trade Unionism (1947). These are essential works on the labor movement that every revolutionary should study.
