We would be remiss here at Black Is if we didn’t acknowledge the influential elders we lost so suddenly within the last two weeks:
The Godfather of Hip-Hop and revolutionary poet and author, Gil Scott-Heron
Actress Clarice Taylor, best known for her role as Anna Huxtable, Cliff Huxtable’s mother on The Cosby Show
And just this week, Black Panther and Civil Rights icon Elmer Geronimo “Ji Jaga” Pratt
Our prayers go out to their families and to our community at this time.
