Our History Our Stories Our Legacies

Black History ✊🏿🫶🏽

Soul Train was a television show airing locally on WCIU-TV in Chicago, Illinois for African American musicians and Dancers to showcase their talent. Hosted by none other than Don Cornelius, The show ran from 1971 to 2006. This is an honor given that black TV shows don't get much time on air. What a time to be alive

I decided this post needed to be in color 🤎

“I'm Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace, and soul!”

I received a text from Ryan that said, "Do you play piano?" And I texted back and I said, "I don't play keyboard, but I took a lot of lessons when I did 'Crooklyn' back in 1993, whatever year that was, in '94." And I think I said, "Why do you ask?" I didn't hear anything. He sent me a couple of additional texts over the next two and a half, three weeks. And then finally, the last text he sent me, I said, "What's this about, man?" And he said, "I have a project I want to talk to you about." – Delroy Lindo, CROOKLYN [1994] vs. SINNERS [2025]

Mitsuki: What happened to you?

Bakugou: She took the fucking change, too!

Mitsuki: Who?

Bakugou: Himiko!

Mitsuki: What were you doing?

Bakugou: Getting beat up and knocked out.

Mitsuki: Some boy beat you up?

Bakugou: Himiko’s a girl. She’s that creepy vampire chick from the League of Villains.

Mitsuki (raises eyebrow): How big is she?

Bakugou: If I had to guess, she’s Uraraka’s size.
