Film of Gil Scott-Heron
Remember when Gil’s revolution was not televised, Nikki loved to ego trip and Ntzoke’s rainbow wasn’t “enuf”? It was back when poetry was done to the backdrop of jazz and the rhythm of the drum.
The Black Arts Music & Poetry Set from at Geno’s Studio will feature a film of Gil Scott-Heron & his Amnesia Express during their concert in Paris where they perform “Winter in America,” “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” and many of his other “incite-ful” classics.

Does Net Neutrality Loss = The New Ghetto
As a growing small media company owner, some of you know of my involvement in lobbying for Net Neutrality, which is the continued absence of regulation in regards to the Open Internet and something everyone should agree on and embrace. This critical issue will be decided, as called by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski yesterday. In the grand scheme of things, this affects all of us so today I’m encouraging all of you to learn about and support Net Neutrality and to encourage the FCC Board, located below, to vote against a Tier System on the Open Internet on December 21, 2010.

Bikini Protest at Dallas City Hall
In an effort to draw attention to the proposed city budget cuts for Swimming Pools and other quality of life amenities in Urban Dallas, organizers encourage students and young families to join them in swimwear at the fountain in front of City Hall on Wednesday, August 18th from Noon to 1 pm.
Organizer John Fullinwider, feels the city is going too far in restricting access to swimming pools in low-income neighborhoods where many pools have already been closed. At issue are 7 additional pools that are proposed to be cut from the budget. The other 14 locations or 2/3’s of our pools have already been closed permanently according to the City of Dallas website.
If arguably, families are not taking advantage of pool use during the day like they do at other neighborhood pools such as Tietze Park in the M-Streets where there are more stay at home Parents or Parents who work out of their home; maybe it’s time we look at how we operate our pools rather than closing them for lack of use and forcing families to send their kids on a bus to take advantage of popular municipal pools like Tietze.
