Writing legends Amiri Baraka and Maya Angelou dancing on ashes of Langston Hughes buried under Artwork in the atrium of the Schomburg Center.
Highlighting the ancient African rite of ancestral return, on top of the tiled artwork titled, Rivers. Others poured ceremonial drinks from five rivers and read four poems of Langston Hughes.
Similar ceremonies were scheduled for five rivers: The Mississippi, the Coatzacoalcos in Mexico, the Murrumbidgee in Australia, the Amazon in Brazil and the Congo in Zaire. (Feb. 22, 1991)
“I’ve known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. My soul has grown deep like the rivers. I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young. I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep. I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I’ve seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset. I’ve known rivers… Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers.”

Jamel Shabazz
“Back in The Days” - Jamel Shabazz
Back In The Days documents the emerging hip-hop scene from 1980-1989 - before it became what is today’s multi-million-dollar multinational industry. Back in the days, gangs would battle not with guns, but by breakdancing. Back in the days, the streets - not corporate planning - set the standards for style. Back in the days, Jamel Shabazz was on the scene, photographing everyday people hangin’ in Harlem, kickin’ it in Queens, and cold chillin’ in Brooklyn. Street styling with an attitude not seen in fashion for another twenty years to come, Shabazz’s subjects strike poses that put supermodels to shame - showing off Kangol caps and Gazelle glasses, shell-top Adidas and suede Pumas with fat laces, shearling coats and leather jackets, gold rope chains, door-knocker earrings, name belts, boom boxes, and other designer finery. For anyone who wants to know what “keepin’ it real” means, Back In the Days is the book of your dreams. - Amazon
