From this weekend~

My parents came to visit and we finished our tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture!

My dad doesn’t share much about his childhood, but as we toured the museum, he shared anecdotes from his time living in Texarkana with his 7 siblings.

Touring the museum with the knowledge that my father grew up on sharecropping land, riding on the back of my Granny’s cotton bag added a layer of gravity to what I was seeing.

I’m so grateful for all the privilege I have grown up with thanks to my parents’, and their parents’, hard work and perseverance. It means so much to me that I now have the opportunity to take my parents to museums to learn more about their history while they visit.

Big Band legend Erskine Hawkins photographed for Bluebird Records (an RCA Victor sub-label) sometime in the late 1930s or early 1940s.

Hawkins and his Orchestra are quite popular on WINE-DOWN SUNDAYS - listen to previous episodes here: https://buff.ly/3tmMM7P

The National Museum of African American History and Culture recently launched an online portal for their design collection. https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/collection/design

Design collections at NMAAHC encompass graphic design, furniture design, fashion design, and architectural design, among other fields. The impact of African Americans in design is reflected in American material culture and the built environment we experience today.

My baby Revision Path is a part of the collection -- the first podcast to be in the Smithsonian's archives. (There's a pretty dope bio of me too.)
