Brent and Jeff take time to reflect on Black History Month, share what this month means to them and to unpack the history of this month. Understanding the History: Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. President has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.Carter Woodson chose February for reasons of tradition and reform. It is commonly said that Woodson selected February to encompass the birthdays of two great Americans who played a prominent role in shaping black history, namely Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, whose birthdays are the 12th and the 14th, respectively. More importantly, he chose them for reasons of tradition. Since Lincoln's assassination in 1865, the black community, along with other Republicans, had been celebrating the fallen President's birthday. And since the late 1890s, black communities across the country had been celebrating Douglass'. Well aware of the pre-existing celebrations, Woodson built Negro History Week around traditional days of commemorating the black past.A Thought to Ponder: Brent and Jeff then play a clip from Morgan Freeman sharing his thoughts on Black History Month and then the guys share their thoughts on this. Want to continue to conversation?   Talk to your friends about what you heard today and join us next week as Brent and Jeff continue their journey through Black History Month. Connect with SLU:InstagramRegister for SLULearn more about The LIFT TourLearn more about YPS Connect with our Hosts:Brent's InstagramBrent's TwitterJeff's InstagramJeff's Twitter

Dr. Gigi Jasper is a retired English teacher living in Rock Springs, Wyoming. In this episode, you'll hear about why Gigi moved to Wyoming, her career as a public school teacher, and her experience with discrimination as an African American woman living in rural Wyoming. Her inspiration, guidance, and resilience as she taught and mentored young people throughout her teaching career, and through that inspiration, she helped young people find tools and paths for their own lives. “And I was told by whoever it was, "We don't hire women." And he was saying that while there was a woman worker not 25 feet behind him.  Well, it was pretty clear that my being female was not his objection. And so, in some ways my welcome to Wyoming was having to file with the EEOC.” Gigi Jasper Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history.

Book Vs. Movie Devil in a Blue DressWalter Mosely's 1990 Novel Vs the 1995 Denzel Washington FilmIn continuation of African American History Month, the Margos are taking on an old-fashioned mystery with Devil in a Blue Dress, which started as a novel by Walter Mosley & later was adapted into a film starring Denzel Washington. The setting is post WW2 in Los Angeles where army veteran Ezekial “Easy” Rawlins (Washington) Easy is a black man dealing with the racism of the era which was more overt. He is assigned by a man named DeWitt Adams to find a white woman, Daphne Monet, who is fascinated by jazz music and black culture. Along the way, several people associated with Easy wind up dead and the Mayor's office seems to be in on it. Who is Daphne and what secrets does she keep? Between the original story and the 1995 adaptation--which did we prefer? In this ep the Margos discuss:The biography of author Walter MoseyRace relations in Los Angeles in post WW2 The biggest changes between the book and movieStarring: Denzel Washington (Easy,) Tom Sizemore (DeWitt Albright,) Jennifer Beals (Daphne Monet,) Don Cheadle (Mouse,) Maury Chaykin (Matthew Terrell, Joseph Lattimore (Frank Carter,) Terry Kinney (Todd Carter,) Mel Winkler (Joppy,) Lisa Nicole Carson (Coretta James,) and Jernard Burks (Dupree Brouchard.)

Book Vs. Movie PassingNella Larsen's 1929 Novella Vs the 2021 Rebecca Hall FilmFebruary is African American History Month and the Margos use that time to cover creators who write, act, and direct films with African American themes. This episode is devoted to writer Nella Larsen (1891-1964) who grew up in a Danish family though she was the only one with African/Cuban ancestry making her different among her community and family. She married Elmer Imes (the second African American to earn a PhD. in physics) in 1919 and they settled in vibrant Harlem as it was becoming an artist's mecca. She writes her first story Quicksand in 1928 and followed it up with 1929's Passing which received good notices at the time but Larsen never achieved the fame she craved along with her male peers. After earning a Guggenheim award for writing, she tried to publish more stories but eventually returned to an earlier career in nursing. She died unknown and quietly in Brooklyn at the age of 72. Passing, which achieved a renaissance in the 1980s, is the story of two women who are African American but are light-skinned and can, therefore “pass” for white. Clare Kendry and Irene Redfield are high school friends who meet up by chance in Chicago where Clare is now married to a racist white man (he does not know her ethnicity) and Irene is married to a doctor and lives in Harlem. Lonely Clare causes havoc in Irene's life by seeming to flirt with Irene's husband and insinuating herself in Irene's social life. Their relationship ends in tragedy. The movie is the directorial debut of actor Rebecca Hall who has a fascinating back story of her own and stars Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga. So, between the original story and the 2021 adaptation--which did we prefer? In this ep the Margos discuss:The biography of author Nella LarsenWhat race relations were like in NYC in the 1920sWhy Rebecca Hall has a connection to the storyStarring: Tessa Thomson (Irene Redfield,) Ruth Negga (Clare Bellew,) Andre Holland (BrianRedfield,) Bill Camp (Hugh Wentworth,) Alexander Skarsgard (John Bellew,) Gbenga Akinnagbe (Dave Freedland,) Antoinette Crowe-Legacy (Felise,) and Ashley Ware Jenkins as Zu.

Welcome to episode 42 of Holly Jolly X'masu! In this episode, I talk about Chewing Gum's wonderful 1974 album, “Christmas Best Hits.” I've been lucky enough to get some fantastic records over the past two years, and this really is one of the best. There's not a song on the album I don't enjoy. I also listened to their greatest hits CD while preparing this episode and was impressed by everything I heard. Their earliest music is not only enjoyable, but is all the more impressive when you consider how young Rika and Mami Matsuda were when they started writing and performing. At first, I didn't realize that their later singles as Bar Balloon, Lucky Lips and MORE were on the CD. After listening to them, I was surprised they weren't bigger hits. The sisters showed they could produce City Pop just as fine as the Folk Pop they'd been performing for the previous decade. I tried to find a couple of their later singles on vinyl, but they appear to be fairly scarce. I hope you were as delighted by Chewing Gum as I was. I've been looking forward to covering this album for quite a while. Next month I'm planning on just two new episodes. Join me on the 11th for the 2016 album, “Christmas Songs,” by May J. Then listen in on the 25th as I discuss Chris Hart's 2015 album, “Christmas Hearts – Winter Gift,” for African-American History Month. As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you'd like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know. Remember, I've added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you'd like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I've also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I'll be trying to add more. Any proceeds or donations received will be put towards purchasing new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!
