Black Soul is an award-winning 2002 animated short film about "defining moments of Black history". The music is fun. The film, even as short as it is, does do a good job of broadly covering the history.
This was WONDERFUL. Slavery! The shame our new nation was born with. It's amazing the music and rhythm that came out of this shameful time. It was also a great form of communication among the slaves. You found a fabulous short, dear. It would be great for Black History Month, too.
That shame has affected our entire history and is a cloud that can never lift. Here in Memphis we have so many sites and events that there's black history all year :) but it would make a good post during that particular focus month.
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.
