#sentimentsofsankofa / #standingontheshouldersofgiants Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ The rebirth of #BlackTheatre commenced in May of 1921 when #ShuffleAlong opened the curtains at the #SixtyThirdStreetTheatre in New York City. Ironically, as #BlackWallStreet was set ablaze by angry white mobs in Tulsa, #BlackBroadway set #thetheatre world on fire - attracting unprecedented white audiences. Lauded for its unheralded introduction of #BlackLove, the Shuffle Along production pushed America forward, allowing two Black people to #fallinlove #onstage. Regarded as the epitome of the #HarlemRenaissance, the Shuffle Along #musical ran #onBroadway for a record setting 500-some-odd performances. Despite being critiqued by skeptics [for boldly daring to shine a light on #BLACKONBLACKLOVE during a time when Black Sexuality was considered dangerous and #AmericanTheatre was still in blackface], anomalous aesthetics such as "more than the usual number of comedians under cork in one show," vivacious dancers, and an all-black cast set the tone for the landmark #musicalcomedy to breakdown color barriers. We'd like to take a moment to pay #homage to #FlournoyMiller, #AubreyLyle, #EubieBlake, #NobleSissle, and the #HowardTheatre for removing the blackface and orchestrating the beauty of Black faces on stage. -Stevie #historyheritageandhumanities ・・・ #scribesandvibes • #therebirthofcool • #blacklovematters • #theatrevibes • #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXYDBPAvck/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
🕊Wow... Peaceful transitions to the legendary, trailblazing entertainer #MauriceHines, who has passed just a few weeks after turning 80. The award-winning documentary Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back @mauricehinesmovie - a "...poignant portrait of the unapologetically Black and gay elder tap and Broadway showman" - is fantastic! Please watch to learn more about his remarkable life and career: www.mauricehinesmovie.com
Executive produced by my hero @therealdebbieallen, "Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back is an intimate portrait an intimate portrait of an outspoken showman who with humor and grace navigates the highs and lows of a seven-decade career, and a complex relationship with his superstar brother, Gregory Hines."
October Vinyl Odyssey, Day 17. Purlie, Original Broadway Cast Album. An almost all Black cast, many of who would go onto bigger success: Cleavon Little, Melba Moore, Linda Hopkins and Sherman Helmsly, among others. Based upon a story by Ossie Davis about a Southern Preacher. #broadway #blackbroadway #purlie #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinylcollector #melbamoore #cleavonlittle (at Beaverton, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGch1ZkM-uL/?igshid=1ukg8eta90ytj
