Happy Black History Month to my Great Great Grand Uncle Dr. Carl Glennis Roberts (1886–1950). He was a pioneering Black American surgeon, gynecologist, and civil rights leader. Born in Indiana, he earned his medical degree in 1911 and became a leading figure at Provident Hospital in Chicago, the nation’s first Black-owned and operated hospital. He specialized in gynecology and surgery, serving as chairman of gynecology in 1916 and later as chairman of surgery in 1935. Roberts was among the first Black Americans certified by the American Board of Surgery, a significant achievement in a racially segregated medical field.

A trailblazer in medical education, he mentored young Black surgeons and was instrumental in advancing surgical techniques and patient care for Black communities. He also served as president of the National Medical Association (NMA) from 1926 to 1927, advocating for greater inclusion of Black doctors in mainstream medical institutions.

Beyond medicine, Roberts was deeply involved in civil rights, leading the Chicago NAACP and organizing the first Black sanitary corps for the American Red Cross during World War I. His contributions to both medicine and racial equality left a lasting legacy.

Dr. Charles Drew, the renowned blood plasma pioneer, wrote Roberts’ obituary, honoring his profound impact on Black American healthcare and advocacy.

Walter Plecker and the paper genocide of American Indians is a story never told. They reclassified tens of thousands of Indians to Negro. While replacing them with $5 Indians. Example, Elizabeth Warren and Phil Jackson.

Plecker wasn’t the only one. Dr Albert Thomas, and John Collier did it too. Look these people up. This paper decided started during the Indian removal act of the 1830s when Indians that didn’t leave were forced to reclassify themselves to negro. Census and Dawes rolls workers by the hundreds reclassified dark skinned Indians into negro status (1870s-1950s). I see it in my own ancestry with family being born Indian, marriage records Indian. But died negro on the death certificate.

Doesn’t matter how anyone feels about this. The information on plecker is widely available. Jefferson’s own records quote him saying the Seminole war was the negro war. Look it up. Expand the conversation.

25 years ago today kicked off the century with this masterpiece. Mainstream R&B was dying a slow death during that time. The “neo soul” era saved our sound. This album held it down for live soul. A quarter century later Voodoo hasn’t aged.

Boogie was a new word at the time this song came out. Lester Young the creator of the term played tenor sax in Basie’s band. I know Melle Mel wants to claim the word for the Bronx and hip hop, but chill homie. Lester Young is from Woodville MS, and Basie is from Redbank NJ.

Smokey Robinson is to song writing what Stevie wonder and prince are to musicianship. Michael jackson And james brown is to performance. Count Basie and Duke to band leaders. Not competing, just pointing out Smokey’s pin was on the highest level of artistry possible.

Before Chuck Berry there was T Bone walker. T Bone’s stage presence shot him to the top of the early days of rock and roll. He used to do the splits while playing the guitar behind his head. The Backer you go, The Blacker it goes.

Elon Must with the N**i Salute at Trump’s inauguration.

He’s going to play on race his limited time in office to distract racist Americans while he replaces them with a new cop of Americans through the H1B visa program.

James Jamerson was off in his own world on this. Jamerson was the bass player you called in the studio to do his own thing. No motown producer could control him. He wasn’t playing what was written. Jamerson played what Jamerson felt. Just give him the chords and let him go. And you can hear that magic all over this album.

This song takes the imagination on a ride.
