After leaving Howard University because of differences with its president, Woodson devoted the rest of his life to historical research. He worked to preserve the history of African Americans and accumulated a collection of thousands of artifacts and publications. He noted that African-American contributions “were overlooked, ignored, and even suppressed by the writers of history textbooks and the teachers who use them.” Race prejudice, he concluded, “is merely the logical result of tradition, the inevitable outcome of thorough instruction to the effect that the Negro has never contributed anything to the progress of mankind.”

In 1926, Woodson pioneered the celebration of “Negro History Week”, designated for the second week in February, to coincide with marking the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The week of recognition became accepted and has been extended as the full month of February, now known as Black History Month.

it always pained me that so many black people think that black history month is in february as a result of some plot by racist whites to just give us the shortest month of the year. that’s not why black history month is in february and every black person who believes that belittles the great work of carter g woodson.

educate yourself my people.

#ashleyjmix

For those wondering what the #ashleyjmix actually is: It is a single Apple Music playlist of over 1,000 songs to be played on shuffle. The concept is a combination of two things which are basically ” iPod shuffle meets your Apple Music algorithms. ”

I’m trying to figure out the Apple Music algorithms. I want to know how come there are some instances where when I listen to my library on shuffle,…

#MusicVideo - Drippy Gang - Going To The Top #VisualsByAshleyJ

#MusicVideo – Drippy Gang – Going To The Top #VisualsByAshleyJ

Everyone asks me if I do music videos, and I never know what to say because honestly I have only done one that was unreleased due to creative differences. So, I’m usually hesitant to do music videos for artists.

Recently one of my former students reached out to me and asked me to shoot their music video… I instantly said yes.

He asked me how much would I charge him. I told him “I’ll do it for…

I had a chance to do press for The Lupus Foundation and Posh Kids Magazines New York Fashion Week Kids Show on Sunday September 17th 2017. This was my second go round with doing red carpet press and it was pretty cool. A lot of celebrity kids walked in the show and also did the red carpet run and it was dope to see the kids interact with the press.

Some of the celebrities in attendance for the show was Drita D’avanzo from VH1’s Mob Wives, Love & Hip Hop NY’s Tara Wallace with her son, POWER’s Donshea Hopkins, and MTV Teen Mom 2’s Briana Dejesus who served as one of the hosts for the show.

Other celebrity guests had kid’s who were walking in the show such as Love & Hip Hop NY’s Erika D who’s son Aasim Harris walked in the show and on the red carpet. Fabolous son Johan walked along with Love & Hip Hop NY’s DJ Self’s niece.

Special thank you to rockstar PR Johnny Donovan for inviting me to the show. Check out red carpet pics with video to come soon.
