The Great EarthWork Circle Mounds in Newark, Ohio

The Great EarthWork Circle Mounds in Newark, Ohio is the most unique and amazing earth wondrs in the Midwest Region. Our ancestors, the great Moundbuilders build civilizations in the land before the Europeans settlers came over and destroyed our ancient cities. These great work Mounds build by the Hopewell Indians, were portals and gateways used for ancient ceremonies and gatherings. If you wondering why the use of "our ancestors" is being used, look up the Olmec Civilizations that were here before the Europeans came over to America. Black or African peoples were over here since the beginning of time like other ancient civilizations around the World. If you are so called African American, you most likely the direct descendents of the Ancient Moundbuilders. History that is not being taught in our current education system and to think about it even more, they don't teach about Ancient America history period. I wonder why?

WHAT IS AFROFUTURISM: MOONDANCE, A NIGHT IN THE AFROFUTURE | Sunday Sessions

What is Afrofuturism?

Afrofuturism is an emergent literary and cultural aesthetic that combines elements of science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, Afrocentricity, and magic realism with non-Western cosmologies in order to critique not only the present-day dilemmas of people of color, but also to revise, interrogate, and re-examine the historical events of the past. Afrofuturism addresses themes and concerns of the African Diaspora through a technoculture and science fiction
lens, encompassing a range of mediums and artists with a shared
interest in envisioning black futures that stem from Afrodiasporic
experiences.

Afrofuturism movement was birth from the Black Arts Movement (BAM) and the Hip Hop movement. The Black Arts Movement and Hip Hop are arts forms that spoke about the injustices and poverty of America that was and is still happening in the African American community.

OHIO PLAYAS SERIES: THE AFRICAN AMERICANS GREATS

Ohio Playa's will be a series of the great musicians that came out of Ohio. The idea came about when me and comrade had a conversation about the greats that came out of Ohio that we have lost and forgotten about. African American's in Ohio have produced one of the best musicians that hit national and internationl in years past. This is to honor those that came before and laid the ground work so we can go back to see the creation to create a new future, new breed of musicians, a new sound that will come out of Ohio in near future. Today we are focusing on the center, Columbus, Ohio greats Nancy Wilson, Hank Marr, Rusty Bryany, Rashaan Roland Kirk, Stomp Gordon, The Four Mints and Bill Moss of Capsoul.
