Bam, here’s the plan
Mother fuck uncle Sam step back I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I’ll drop the style and clear
It’s the beats and lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change and to counteract
We gotta take the power back
Tom Morello, from Rage Against the Machine.
ANTI RACISM . ANTI FASCISM . BLACK LIVES MATTER

Candjo / photograph of a vintage 1885 engraving by Edward Winsor Kemble (1861-1933) / from “Creole Slave Songs” by George W. Cable (1844-1925) / A “candjo” is a Creole born Chief - “The ‘Criole Candjo’ … is sort of a [black] Creole dandy who charms and cajoles women by his dancing- what the French would call 'un beau valseur’” (from Henry Edward Krehbiel’s 1914 Afro-American folksongs : a study in racial and national music)

Jemina-Ben For 2024 - Think Outside The Box!
Join Jemima Greenand Ben Rice (not related to Condoleeza Rice) in 2024.
Portraying Jemima was a little tricky, since the logos are difficult to work with. Candidate Jemima is based on the logos from the 50’s until the late 80’s, model Anna Short Harrington who promoted the brand until 1953, and blues singer Edith Wilson who became the first AJ to appear on TV and Radio. I kept her curves but no more head scarf.
