A poem for Don Corneilious
You were a true creator & innovator
you created a show that would become a sensation
That of soul Train which got people
moving & grooving all across the nation
Because of you. You showcased future talents
& showed everyone how we like to rock n roll
But although you're gone
we honor you & you legacy

A Poem for James Brown
Here's another Black History Month poem. Enjoy!
A poem for James Brown
You were a man that knew how to take control
Always & forever the undisputed Godfather of Soul.
You were a man that let lose be it with dance or
the microphone. Through your songs you made us
think about life with a style that was all your owm.
Because of you, you made it cool for me to shout it out loud.
& it's because of you I'm not scared or ashamed
to say that I'm black & I'm proud!

Martin Luthe King Day Parade
Hello there once again DJ Dizzy here & last moth I had the pleasure of checking out a really rad event. That of the Martin Luther King Day Parade in Tulsa OK.
Now you think that such a thing wouldn't be happening especially in the wintertime. Now believe me when I say in the south the weather is (usually) warm. But this parade was really amazing you had so many people coming together & celebrating Dr. King's legacy & celebrating people of all different diversities uniting together. He proved that having a dream like that is possible. But for now we talk about what to expect:
Attractions: As the attractions go you'll see plenty of floats & many volunteers in costume as well as plenty of goodies aside from candies & many other treats. ( Unlike all of the other parades this one offers free pizza & donuts at the visitors tent.) But there's also drill & dance teams & of course a decent share of marching bands. Such as a band called Sonic Boom.
Check it out
But if you happen to visit Oklahoma they may not have too much going on but there are some pretty decent events if you're lucky enough to stumble upon any. I happen to catch this parade on TV courtesy of their local station but it was pretty good. But back to Dr. King though he left the world way too soon his dream forever lives on for we have people uniting no matter what our differences might be. He proved that no matter what race or gender you are we all can make a difference & find some common ground though we still have far to go we're making it happen. So for that I say thank you Dr. Martin Luther King.
