The thumbnail picture is "The Sugar Shack" by Ernie Barnes, a black artist who features black America as he sees it. This 1970s painting showcases dancing which you might say looks very different from Western expressions. Such will be the case for many clips that I will feature in the background of this video. Jazz, and black music before, are a very interesting history which has an effect today. Best to be aware of the emotions, intentions, and realities of power achieved through all forms of entertainment.
