Black History Facts


Who Founded a Doll Museum in Harlem?

Lenon Holder Hoyte (1905-1999) spent a professional career as an art teacher at Clarke Junior High School in the Bronx. She exhibited her remarkable collection of over 5000 dolls for the benefit of Harlem Hospital and her church, St. Phillip’s Episcopal.

Perhaps the success of these exhibits inspired Hoyte, popularly known as Aunt Len, to turn her Harlem brownstone in 1974 into a doll museum.

Hoyte’s dolls are of all shapes and sizes, made of all kinds of material, and ranging from centuries old dolls to modern Barbie dolls. Two of the most interesting dolls are a black brother and sister pair made of papier-mâché by an African American handyman in Atlanta in the nineteenth century. Their names are Lillian and Leo, and each has a tear running down its cheek. It is thought they represent children who have been separated from their mother through a slave sale.

Mrs. Hoyt was forced to sell her collection through Sotheby’s auction house. Prices ran as high as $8,000. Her museum closed when she could no longer care for it. While it existed, it entertained and educated thousands of Harlem children.

Museum Restores Rosa Parks Bus
 

Museum Restores Rosa Parks Bus
Fri Jan 31, 9:27 PM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!


By SARAH FREEMAN, Associated Press Writer

DEARBORN, Mich. - When the Montgomery bus boycott ended, then 20-year-old Jesse Daniels put on his best dress shirt, suit and tie, sat in the front of a city bus and rode to restaurant where he had previously not been allowed to eat.


Friday night, Daniels joined about 300 members and employees of the Henry Ford Museum to get a look at where historians say it all began — the Montgomery city bus on which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man.


"Now it's really something to see this bus here after everybody's efforts," said Daniels, whose memories of the boycott helped restorers perfect the bus.


"It's a powerful time."


After nearly five months of work, the once-decrepit bus was unveiled, looking as it did on the day of Parks' defiant act.


The white, green and mustard-colored bus was rolled onto the museum floor to the tune of "Lift Every Voice and Sing." It will be on permanent display at the museum.


"When you realize that a simple, mundane city bus could be a place of such importance, there's an immense wave of emotion," said museum curator Bill Pretzer, who was responsible for verifying that the bus was the one Parks rode on Dec. 1, 1955.


Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat, sparking the boycott. The protest led to the desegregation of public transportation nationwide and turned its leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., into a national figure.


The museum bought the bus for $492,000 in 2001 at a national auction after it was discovered in a field in Alabama. The bus, a rusted shell, was gouged by bullets where it had been used for target practice.


It sat untouched until September, when a team that builds concept cars and automotive prototypes began work on it.

1942
Curtis Mayfield was born on the 3'rd of june 1942 in Chicago, Illinois, where he quickly absorbed the music of that area, which consisted of the local blues, gospel and soul musicians. He was leading his first group, The Alfatones , before he was a teenager.

When the Mayfield family moved to Chicago's north side in 1956, Curtis found himself a new friend in Jerry Butler. Butler wanted Curtis to join him in a group called The Roosters , which consisted of Arthur and Richard Brooks, and Sam Gooden. The quintet later changed their name to The Impressions , and they had their first hit in 1958, "For your precious love" . In 1961, Mayfield had moved to New York, the group cutted "Gypsy woman" which re-established the group, after some years of hard feelings between the members and the record company. Mayfield was now the groups lead singer, utilising his unique vocal style on several Impressions singles.

A steady string of soul anthems followed, "I'm so proud", "Keep on Pushing", "People get ready", "We're a winner", "Mighty, mighty". The group had a strong gospel flavour in their sound, although it was'nt purely gospel. As Mayfield puts it, "They were church songs, the difference was I left the word God out."

In 1970 Mayfield left The Impressions for his solo career. His first album, "Curtis" contained the classic "Move on up" which was his only UK hit. "Curtis Live!" followed, which contained some material from The Impressions period. It was recorded at New York's Bitter End, and later the same year "Roots" followed. His early records are my favourite ones, especially "Curtis Live!" which is a wonderful record with lots of warm soul songs, and funky percussion by 'master' Henry Gibson.

In 1972, Curtis released the soundtrack album "Superfly" which went to sell over a million copies, and it was a really good album in its own right. It recieved four Grammy awards. By now Mayfield continued to record new albums, at the same time as he was producing with Gladys Knight & The Pips, Aretha Franklin and The Staple Singers .

Curtis also appeared on the big screen when he had a role in the movie "Short eyes" , in which he also wrote the soundtrack for.

In the 80'ies Curtis toured the whole world, and he was'nt releasing much new material. In 1989 he contributed to the soundtrack of the movie "I'm gonna git you Sucka", and the following year he made some tunes for the movie "The Return of Superfly" .

1990 was a truly bad year for Mayfield. While he performed at an outdoor concert in Brooklyn, a lighting rig fell down on him, which caused such severe damage to his spine, leaving him a Quadriplegic. Since then he has kept a low profile. However, in
1996 he released a new album, on which he is only singin, since he cannot play guitar anymore. Today, Curtis lives in Atlanta with his wife and family.

Did You Know
 

Did You Know That California Was Named After A Black Queen?


http://www.blacknews.com/images/califia.gif
Disney Painting of Queen Califia

Los Angeles, CA - (BlackNews.com/BlackPR.com) - It is well documented that of the 44 people who founded the City of Los Angeles, 26 were of Afrikan descent. What is amazing, and not taught in California schools, the majority of the founders of San Francisco, San Jose and San Diego were of Afrikan descent, or that Orange County, Beverly Hills and Malibu were once owned by people of Afrikan descent. The Picos, Black Spanish speaking brothers, Pio and Andres, the former twice California governor, owned San Fernando Valley, Whittier and the Camp Pendleton area.

California is in the media everyday. It is incredible most California residents know nothing about the state being named after a Black Woman Queen. The genesis of the name begins with a story read by Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez, who conquered Mexico, killed Montezuma, ended the Aztec empire before entering Baja California, continuing his search for gold.

The 17th century best-selling adventure story was written by a Spaniard named Garci Ordonez de Montalvo and published in Seville in 1510. The name of the book was "The Exploits of Esplandian," and it was written as a sequel to the popular Portuguese poem, "Amadis de Guala." (Wanda Sabir, San Francisco Bay View)

The following is an excerpt from the epic that inspired Cortez, featuring a nation composed entirely of fierce, powerful, wealthy black women. "Know ye that at the right hand of the Indies there is an island named California, very close to that part of the terrestrial Paradise, which was inhabited by black women, without a single man among them, and that they lived in the manner of Amazons. They were robust of body, with strong and passionate hearts and great virtues. The island itself is one of the wildest in the world on account of the bold and craggy rocks. Their weapons were all made of gold. The island everywhere abounds with gold and precious stones, and upon it no other metal was found." The commanding Queen Califia ruled this mythical island.

http://www.blacknews.com/images/califia2.gif
California State Flag

Conducting an interview with John William Templeton, California historian and author of the four volume set, "Our Roots Run Deep: The Black Experience In California," started on the journey of digging up the history of Blacks in California through a conversation with a San Francisco radio host. "I was doing a story on Rodney King for the Mercury News, and while I was down there someone said that a black man used to own the San Fernando Valley. That was Pio de Jesus Pico (1801-1894). And then I found out that he was also the last Mexican governor of California. I didn't know of any black governors or anything, so I called into the Ray Taliaferro show (on KGO news radio, San Francisico) and said to him, 'Did you know that there were four black governors of the state of California?' He said, 'That ain't nothing, the whole damn state is named after a black woman.'"

According to the story, California was an island where only Black women lived, gold was the only metal and pearls were as common as rocks. The women were the most powerful and could be ferocious women in the world. They had beasts that were half men half birds. After mating with men, the women would feed the men to these beasts called griffins. When Cortez arrived in California, searching for this mythical queen, her influence on him was so severe, he paid tribute to this powerful Black Woman Queen Califia by naming the state after her. California literally means, "the land where black women live."

Her painting can be found in the state capitol California Senate building in Sacramento; a mural painted in 1926 by Maynard Dixon and Frank von Sloun in the Hall of the Dons at the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco; and in all places, a large painting of her resides on the wall of the Golden Dreams building at the Disney California Adventure in Orange County. Unfortunately, on the Great Seal of the State of California, we have Miniver instead of Queen Califia, because Miniver was the Greek goddess who was born full grown, and more acceptable to the Europeans who settled in the state. None of this matters though. At the end of the day, when all the historians and anthropologists attempt to spin this story in another direction, the conclusion will still come down to one dynamic detail: California was named for a Black Woman Queen.
