It's been 50 years since Disney's Robin Hood came out in November-8-1973 and let me tell ya: it's totally a great movie! All of these characters of Robin Hood are anthropomorphic animals from the heroic Robin Hood the male red fox to the villainous Prince John the lion rather than humans like us. Anyways, it's the legendary story about the heroic Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) and his trusty sidekick, Little John the brown bear (Phil Harris), are the two outlaws living in Sherwood Forest, where they rob from the rich and give to the poor townsfolk of Nottingham. When evil Prince John (Peter Ustinov) deputizes the Sheriff of Nottingham the wolf (Pat Buttram) to collect unreasonable taxes from the animals of Sherwood Forest, Robin, Little John and the other merry men wage a lighthearted battle against their evil foes and SPOILER ALERT: Robin Hood also wins the hand of Maid Marian the female red fox. My favorite part of this movie is Lady Kluck the hen made a touchdown by defeating all of the rhino guards which reminds us of a scene reminiscent of an American football game. 

Book Alert 🚨 Reposted from @a.p.r.e.e_ ¡ Estamos OR-GU-LLO-SOS ! for our fellow members/authors María E. Pérez y Gonzáles & Virginia Sánchez Korrol on their Book: Puerto Rican Studies in the City University of New York: The First 50 Years. Authored by leading scholars in the field of Puerto Rican and Latinx Studies, this volume is an important milestone in documenting the power of collective consciousness and action to create change in and access to higher education for all peoples. The book features a comprehensive fifty-year trajectory in the field of Puerto Rican Studies (PRS) at the City University of New York in a series of critical essays on scholarship, the social sciences, bilingual education, media, and its counterparts beyond CUNY, in addition to retrospectives from founders of the field, current professors, and alumni. The student founders of PRS, its pioneering faculty and groundbreaking interdisciplinary focus on the intersectionalities of race, culture, gender, power, and class, elucidate a contentious path to forging an anti-racist and decolonial pedagogy. The critical analysis in the scholarship found in this volume assesses the current status of Puerto Rican Studies in continuing to meet its academic mission, challenges and opportunities, and points to future directions in the 21st century.

John Lennon’s classic holiday single “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” is 50 years old! Here’s some green vinyl editions of it, released over the decades; it’s interesting to see how the billing for Yoko, the Plastic Ono Band and The Harlem Community Choir changed over the years. Regardless, the soaring tune and message of peace remains as timeless—and as sorely needed—as ever.
