…….this documentary.
Between this and “The Legend of Cool Disco Dan,” which aired a little over a week ago on WHUT-TV, I got a crash-course in D.C. history.

re: “Doctor Who” Season 8: I’m Not As Hard As The Writer Linked Below……
…….but I did feel this season felt a little more uneven than normal. It could be that it took me the whole season to adjust to the new Doctor. And boy, I said I wanted a darker Doctor, but instead I got a dark season. The good episodes were really good, Coleman showed she deserved to be the star of this season, and Season 8 was different, I’ll give it that. With more than 50 episodes into the “Nu Who,” the 50th anniversary, etc., maybe I’m suffering from “Doctor Who” fatigue.
I thought this was amusing!
NOVEMBER 18th UPDATE: This was funny, and GREAT!

“Supergirl” Coming To CBS, And No-Longer-Teen “Titans” Comes To TNT? WOW!
Didn’t know about that–and didn’t know about how DC is really trying to create a shared TV universe. And I have wanted a grown-up version of The Teen Titans (I don’t count “Young Justice,” because I see that more as a different, “Legion of Superheroes”-type concept) for a loooong time.
Newark’s Historian
I was a finalist for one of his fellowships once. He was a very prestigious guy who proudly lived in Newark.
I didn’t know he did a film on the city.
The Legend Of Cool “Disco” Dan
Saw this on WHUT-TV last night! Growing up in the shadow of New York City, it was interesting to see the similarities in the contemporary histories of Black communities in NYC and DC.
The Letter From The FBI To Martin Luther King
Always wanted to read this letter in full. Glad it’s out.
Here’s a link to the text of another letter I found online recently. It’s to Dr. King.
“Life’s Essentials With Ruby Dee,” My Future Favorite Documentary Film
I’m very happy to say that this documentary, on one of the loves of my life, met its Kickstarter goal and has been released! I can’t wait to see it!
FBI Tracked Black Press Editor
Fascinating, but not surprising, particularly considering how progressive and independent Raymond Boone of The Richmond Free Press was!
