Obviously Olivier Bowen was a huuuge brainiac, ambitious and disciplined..
BUT you know what is particularly appealing to me in this story, was the fact that he came from AN ALL BLACK COMMUNITY THAT WAS SELF-SUSTAINING AND EDUCATING!
This is amazing stuff!
And supports my contention that integration was a huuge misstep in AA history.
Most of the great inventors & geniuses of Black history grew up and was nurtured by an all-Black community.
Wanna bet that if we had more self-determing Black communities HIP HOP CULTURE would not be doing as much damage to our children as it is today?!
Big props to Oliver Bowen!
Big props to the all-Black community of Amber Valley!
Now watch Kris Columbus go SPLAAAAAAAT after reading this story.
