PBS : Gwen Ifill Blues

by Patricia Britt


A pleasant soul passed away into the hereafter yesterday, after a quiet struggle with cancer. Blues were one of her favorite fashion choices in her vivid style. A noteworthy lady in an age of intensity. A minister's daughter she practiced what she preached.

The "journalist" with laser determination effortlessly enchanted millions worldwide as she volleyed, and brought out the best, and the truth in movers, and shakers. She moderated presidential debates, and interviews American, and world leaders. She was always prepared, and studied her subject matter thoroughly.

She always brought her A-Game, and will always be remembered for that. She and Ed Bradley who died 10 years ago both went to glory one week apart in November.

2016 Election Day in America

2016 Election Day in America by Patricia Britt

America is the greatest country on earth from shore to shore, and sea to sea, because it has the greatest soul, and evolves in love sweet love.

It's election day. We'll miss that smart, classy guy, President Obama, fashionable Michelle, the adorable kids, and his troop of suave administrators.

We as Americans were bewildered this election with so much mud in the atmosphere? The excitement and promise of volunteers for a sincere guy that was electric is replaced by a wish to get a woman in who's fought for justice all her life with sincere goals.

Democrats strive for all people to be uplifted. Republicans strive for a select few. We as Americans have too much work to do not to pass road projects, and other mandates that will lift a majority into the middle class, and not push us back into doubt ourselves as individuals, and those we work with.

Obamacare healthcare is a testament to love for the American people by a patriot, his wife a healthcare administrator, and all the shoulders they stood on that includes Hillary Clinton, and all the other congressman past, and present with the wisdom to negotiate, and broker a deal for the betterment of the American people. There are millions of mothers who's children, and budgets are protected through the foundation of healthcare for a modern world that will no doubt eventually spread worldwide.

Tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of our American goals for the next four years. God bless America! Lets work together, and dream big dreams!

I can't wait to see Obama's high tech presidential library!

2016 Harvard Pam Grier Honoree

by Patricia Britt

The Harvard Hutchins Center is one of many historical cultural treasures in America.

October 6, 2016 Pam Grier, Ph.D, super soul shero was honored for her legacy of film. Eartha Kitt paved the way as Cat Woman in the Bat Man series. Wonder Woman came later with Lynda Carter.

Pam Grier made the library clerk to the disco dancer proud that she existed when she came on the scene in the 70's. Later movies of note were Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Jackie Brown, although she's still in motion on the edge of the new wave.

She starred in movie after movie cementing her place in Hollywood as a go to actress when self assurance, and action was the featured role in demand. 

Every ethnicity was crazy in love with her, and she seemed as if she ran the world. She's still acting, and cares for animals.

Professor Henry Louis Gates interviewed with the Harvard Gazzette about the blackxploitation era, and the gritty regal actress that emanated from the genre.

MC Lyte was honored as well. She had a significant male fan base. Now an administrator. She was one of the smoothest female rappers along with Queen Latifah, Stetsasonic, Salt & Pepper Spinderella), and TLC.

2016 History : Nat'l African American Museum of H&C

by Patricia Britt

We have many seconds in history that are sad, & triumphant in our journey as humans that bonds our quest to love, and be in love regardless of the barriers of the internal, or the surface that surrounds us, and each individual in the glorification of God through self, or material creation.

The pyramids point towards heaven, and were the skyscrapers of ancient times. No human is godless because life is a miracle. Each breath we take releases science, and inhales the science of the universe set in motion by a higher power. 

We are a masterpiece of star dust each one of us, if only all of us knew that, we might have reached another galaxy by now. ...ba ba whayoooooooohhhhhhhh whayooooooooooooooooohh ba whayooooooooooooooooh whayoooooooooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 

The Smithsonian Institute launched the National African American Museum of History & Culture on September 24, 2016.
