The Black Arts Movement was the artistic outgrowth of the Black Power Movement that was prominent in the 1960s and early 1970s.

You're back in the 80's! MJ just released Thriller, you’ve applied plenty of Soul Glo to your Jerry Curls, and you’re cruising down the street in your ’64. "Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation." – Michael Jackson
You’ve made it to the pinnacle of good music. You’re basking in the Golden Age Hip-Hop and R&B. The only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace and, like him, you’ve clearly got enough to feed the needy.
You have witnessed the election of our first Black President: Barack Obama! Prepare for 8 years of opulence, class, and brilliant leadership.

You’ve embraced your rich history and reclaimed your place on the throne. Your grace and strength is matched only by your elegance and wisdom. You are the epitome of Black excellence. May your empire continue to prosper as you continue to inspire the future of our community.
