“Even with all that you have accomplished, she will make your life a million times richer,” Andrew Young
28 May 2025
It was an incredible night to learn more about the history of Atlanta. @samirajafariatl led a conversation around the launch of the book “The A: A Love Story” - 157 years of impact - featuring former Mayor Shirley Franklin, Sheffield Hale of @atlantahistorycenter and the iconic @ajcnews journalist @erniesuggs . I am learning new things every day and feeling humbled to be part of this team.

THE BLACK MUSIC CANON — WEEK 10: BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS
What happens when music becomes more than entertainment? When it becomes a mirror, a warning, a protest and a call to action?
This week, we’re listening to four artists who understood that Black music has always had something to say about the world we live in and the world we hope to create.
Curtis Mayfield — “Curtis” (1970)
Gil Scott-Heron — “Pieces of a Man” (1971)
Common — “Be” (2005)
Little Simz — “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert” (2021)
Mayfield gave us the soundtrack to a movement. Scott-Heron gave that movement a voice. Common examined the lives shaped by its unfinished promises. Little Simz reminds us that the questions remain, even as the world changes.
Each artist understood that consciousness begins with paying attention.
To the streets. To history. To injustice. To our communities. And to ourselves.

UATL’s new series, “Let Me Put U On,” continues to teach me something new and amaze me every week.
This week, our business reporter Mirtha Donastorg takes us on a deeply personal hair journey, introducing us to Sisterlocks and sharing how they transformed her relationship with her hair.
It’s a story about hair, identity, self-discovery and finding freedom in your own beauty.
Read Mirtha’s story at the link below, and be sure to watch the incredible accompanying video. @itsuatl @ajcnews

In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville.
His value was placed at $1,400. On another surviving document, Sheppard signed his name with an X.
More than 160 years after her ancestors were enslaved in Georgia, former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has made history as the first Black woman elected governor.

THE BLACK MUSIC CANON — WEEK 9
Too Good to Be Forgotten — The ‘70s
Some artists become superstars. Others change music without ever getting the recognition they deserve.
This week, we’re digging into five remarkable, but forgotten albums from the 1970s by artists whose influence, innovation and talent deserved a much bigger spotlight.
Shuggie Otis — Inspiration Information/Freedom Flight (1974)
A musical visionary who blended soul, funk, psychedelia and early electronic experimentation into a sound years ahead of its time.
Betty Davis — They Say I’m Different (1974)
Bold, fearless, funky and unapologetically sexual. Davis challenged expectations of what a Black woman could sound like, look like and say.
Leon Ware — Musical Massage (1976)
A songwriter and producer whose fingerprints are all over classic soul. He helped shape the sound of Marvin Gaye’s I Want You, but his own brilliant recordings never received the same attention.
Cymande — Cymande (1972)
A British band with Caribbean roots that fused funk, reggae, soul and jazz into something extraordinary. Their grooves would find new life decades later through hip-hop sampling.
William DeVaughn — Be Thankful for What You Got (1974)
You know the song. “Diamond in the back, sunroof top.” But how much do you know about the man behind it?
Five different stories of talent that deserved a larger audience.
Some were ahead of their time. Some challenged the industry. Some made music that would influence generations of artists who became more famous than they ever did.
And some created songs that everybody knows, even if nobody remembers their names. @s_otis1990 SPOTIFY PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0v1FuHCQ1ETeDVofw79N0Y?si=22a00c693c7b4ee3
