Today In History

Ella Fitzgerald, dubbed “The First Lady of Song,” was born in Newport News, VA, on this date April 25, 1918.

Fitzgerald was the most popular female jazz singer in the United States for more than half a century. In her lifetime, she won 13 Grammy awards and sold over 40 million albums.

Ella Fitzgerald voice was flexible, wide-ranging, accurate and ageless. She could sing sultry ballads, sweet jazz and imitate every instrument in an orchestra. She worked with all the jazz greats, from Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Nat King Cole, to Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman. (Or rather, some might say all the jazz greats had the pleasure of working with Ella.)

Key Awareness - Richmon Local News: ‘I’m Comfortable Here’ - New Program Uplifts Children In Gilpin Court

By @azriah_bryant

With spring break well in effect for young students in our Central Virginia, they have time to go on trips, relax or just hang out in their neighborhoods.

That’s the same for children in Gilpin Court, but a new initiative is helping keep the kids out of trouble and active.

“Like I’m comfortable here. It makes me feel like I’m in a community,” sixth-grader Jazier Jackson.

Every week you can find Jackson at the Calhoun Community Center playing basketball with his friends or getting help with his homework.

“It helps lead them to the right way and not the wrong way like sitting over there on the corner store and like leads them to the right way to do what they want to do in life,” said Jazier.

It provides a means of escape from the troubles of the real world.

“We are working with Gilpin Court in terms of mediating and keeping our young persons on the right track, and part of that is having our program here throughout the week,” said Dr. Gwendolyn Andrews.

Andrews came up with the program. She is the supervisor of the Richmond Community Mediators, which operates with the Richmond Police Department. She’s here every week because this is personal.

“I was here as a young social worker back in the ‘80s, and I knew, being from a broken home, what it meant to have great mentors, and so again, when the opportunity to return came, I embraced it,” said Andrews.

More than 60 kids come together to pack out this community center to receive youth counseling, play sports and other activities in hopes of keeping children off the streets and out of violence. -(source: 12 On Your Side / CARTER Magazine / DNA America)

it's actually really healthy and important to follow people who ship things i Do Not, because their posts making undeniable evidence out of random crumbs they found on the canon floor (sometimes the very same crumbs used as undeniable evidence for a different ship by someone else in the very next post) creates an excellent outside perspective for how i am also winding a red string around thumbtacks on a conspiracy board every time i log on to the otp hive mind. keeps me humble.

#i mean obviously except for mulder and scully in every single season #chris carter is the one who's wrong there #chris carter circa 1998 giving very serious interviews about how mulder and scully are NOT romantic at ALL #in magazines with david duchovny and gillian anderson half naked in bed on the cover #but god imagine how bad things would have gone if he WAS trying to write a romantic relationship from jump #i shudder to think

Today In History

Gertrude “Ma” Rainey was born in Columbus, GA on this date April 26, 1886. Rainey was an influential blues singer and early blues recording artist.

Dubbed the “Mother of the Blues”, ‘Ma’ Rainey bridged earlier vaudeville and the authentic expression of southern blues, influencing a generation of blues singers.

‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ is a 1982 play by Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson-which chronicles Ma Rainey and the 20th-century African-American experience. The play is set in a recording studio in 1920s Chicago, and deals with issues of race, art, religion, sexuality and the historic exploitation of Black recording artists by white producers.

The play has been converted into a film, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” directed by George C. Wolfe and written by Ruben Santiago-Hudson. The film stars Viola Davis, Chadwick Boseman, Glynn Turman, Colman Domingo, and Michael Potts. Streaming now on Netflix.
