The Story of Althea Gibson

Althea Gibson

I was reading Craig Hodges book "The Triumphs and Struggles of an NBA Freedom Fighter". In the second chapter there is a reference to Althea Gibson. On YouTube you'll find a reading of the text by author Megan Reid. You can also find several copies of this children's books throughout the El Paso Public Library system. The image above will link you to Megan Reid's reading. There's also a documentary film about Althea Gibson & Arthur Ashe on YouTube narrated by Phylicia Rashad click here.

Living in Color

by Tommy Davidson

"Bruce Lee said that he came to experience an unnatural naturalness & a natural unnaturalness...I applied that lesson to my comedy. My goal was to practice so hard that my comedy and my stage performances came naturally. If I could do that then it would by my moment. I envisioned myself as the Bruce Lee of comedy." - Tommy Davidson

There's no one like Tommy Cat. Was an honor reading this text and learning about one of those shows that brought us into the changing world of the 90s, In Living Color. The last decade prior to the millennium. Meant a lot for a Child of the 80s, and especially for those of that were checking into adulthood at the turn of the century. It's what makes this story so necessary, especially from the perspective of Tommy Davidson. What a story. I've always felt Comedy was the most challenging job in the world. Thankful I got the chance to know more about it through one of my all time top favorite comedians.
