In the 1930s and 1940s Black performers were relegated to a collection of nightclubs and theaters known colloquially as the Chitlin Circuit. 

Whereas the old TOBA circuit of vaudeville featured comedians with props, pratfalls, and costumes, the new generation of Chitlin Circuit comics pined for mainstream success. They traded their flamboyant checkered suits for tapered tuxedos and emulated wise guy comics like Bob Hope. Soon a line was drawn between the old TOBA style and the new Chitlin Circuit upstarts. 

Stand-up comic Nick Stewart was a bridge between the two. Considered an innovator by old people and an Uncle Tom by the young, Stewart was a regular at the Lafayette, America’s top Black theater prior to the Apollo: 

“See, there was a Black theater circuit, understand? And the circuit included nightclubs and theaters … and all of those theaters in those days were owned by whites … The comedy was ignorant and profane. The comedy was low burlesque … Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore - big bands, stand-up comedians … low comedy...

“When I came up the kids were roaming the streets in New York in little gangs. Early on my parents were Garveyites. You ever hear of Marcus Garvey? He had advocated that we should go back to Africa and build a nation of our own. So I was raised in that culture … I started with that mentality. I also became disenchanted with getting an education. I said, ‘What am I going to do with an education?’ I knew I couldn’t do anything with it … Everyone with an education was a Pullman porter … 

“We used to roam the streets in packs and get in all kinds of trouble … but one of the good things that happened to me… I stumbled into a place called the Hoofer’s Club... 

“The Hoofer’s Club was where all the great dancers like Bill Robinson would come and play cards. And then they’d go in the back room and sometimes challenge each other to dance. So I came by this Hoofer’s Club and I saw the owner did the sweeping. I said, ‘Let me sweep for you.’ He let me sweep. He let me come in the backroom and watch the great Bill Robinson and that’s how I learned to dance … many of the kids that came in, that’s how they learned to dance … We went down to this Hoofer’s Club and we used to form acts … the Four Step Brothers, Honi Coles … and around the corner was the Musician’s Club and that’s how a million bands got started.” 

Stewart danced in Cotton Club musicals like Stormy Weather and Cabin in the Sky. He formed a comedy team with comic Sammy Gardiner and they toured the Chitlin Circuit as Sawdust and Sand. Their stage names were typical for the era. Among his Chitlin Circuit contemporaries were Porkchops Patterson, Hamtree Harrington, Crack Shot Hackley, Pigmeat Markham, and the comedy team Stump & Stumpy. 

“See, in those days, all Black comedians had funny names: Porkchops. Rassa. Pigmeat … Blacks had their own little group that couldn’t get downtown. The act played at the Lafayette Theater. It didn’t pay us any money, fifteen dollars at the end of the week, but I got the act on the stage.” 

Stewart hitched his star to the big bands and became a resident comic with Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. He taught bandleaders the Sawdust and Sand routine and made each jazz star a straight man. 

“I went on the road with Cab Calloway as a featured comedian. I taught Cab the routine ... When we would play the South in the 1930s … Blacks couldn’t come to the theaters. Well, we broke the barrier … We were before the Civil Rights. We broke the barrier in the 1930s.”

SHANGO'S THOUGHTS:

Sweet, sweet love, that she gives me forever

I'm sorry, but I've never been into mean girls or women. You know, those ladies with the mean spirit & bad attitudes.

I know we live in a culture where that person is made to seem cool, but it's not for me. I tried to date women like that back when I was in college, but it only left me feeling belittled, frustrated, & unloved.

I don't like being snapped at & talked down to. I LOVE women who are gentle spirited, & speak to me in a loving tone. It unlocks my Divine Masculine nature, & makes me want to be her provider & protector.

That's what I grew up around from seeing my Mother & Aunts in Jamaica. And my Father & Uncles were the same way; strong family men, who would do anything for the women in their lives.

Both my Mom & Dad were Garveyites... My Dad didn't have the most education, but my Mom was very educated & was a Nurse. My Dad followed my Mom here to the US (NYC), & he worked in Construction, helping to build & repair bridges up & down the East Coast.

It was hard work, & he sacrificed everything, being gone for weeks at the time, just to make sure my mother & I were taken care of.

My Dad worshipped my Mom, & she respected & loved him as well. She never demanded anything of him, & he gave her everything tjat he was able to.

This is the kind of love that I desire, that I haven't really gotten since I've been in Amerikkka. I don't think our people here in Babylon (men AND women) know how to conduct themselves within the s0ace of love, because we've been taught to hate each other for so long.

But I know that's not for me. I've held onto my cultural ways, which has helped me stay focused on the things that truly matter in life.

And for me, Black Love is all that matters.

Looking forward to leaving Babylon & moving to Africa. So I can finally experience the love I desire. 🙏🏿

#Black Love Is Everything ❤🖤💚 #Shango's Thoughts

Toni Cade Bambara, born Miltona Mirkin Cade (March 25, 1939 – December 9, 1995), was a civil rights activist, writer, teacher, and filmmaker. She was born in Harlem. At the age of six, she changed her name to Toni, and in 1970 she added the surname Bambara after finding it among her great-grandmother’s belongings. She earned her BA in Theater Arts/English at Queens College, the same year she published “Sweet Town,” her first short story. She was a social investigator from 1959 to 1961 and then worked in the psychiatry department of New York City’s Metropolitan Hospital. She studied in Florence as well as Paris and earned an MA degree from City College of New York. She was hired to teach English at the City University of New York’s fledgling SEEK program. She published short stories and became interested in film production. She was an associate professor of English at Livingston College. Her influence for her writings came from the streets of New York, where she experienced the teachings of Garveyites, Muslims, Pan-Africanists, and Communists against the backdrop and the culture of jazz music. She edited a collection of short stories, poems, and articles titled The Black Women (1970) and Tales and Stories for Black Folks (1971). She wrote her first screenplay, “Zora”. She published her collection of short stories in Gorilla, My Love, edited by Toni Morrison and featuring fifteen stories on African American women’s relationships and self-love. She risked travel to Communist Cuba and Viet Nam to research women and then took a series of academic appointments at several universities. She published another collection of her short stories in 1977, The Sea Birds are Still Alive. She published her first novel, The Salt Eaters, which earned the American Book Award. She won the Langston Hughes Society Award, another prestigious writing honor. She concentrated more on script writing and television production, often with political and social messages. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #womenhistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CqODLpJLJAn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
