The Ones Who Claimed Africa's Whole Gold Inventory

At any point might you at some point comprehend that Elon, musk, Jeff, Bezos or Bernard Arnold are only walking around the domain of the rich? In no way, shape or form these refined men have shot themselves to an unbelievable status, standing side by side with the titans of abundance all through the chronicles of history. Presently, how about we set out on a fascinating excursion to investigate and reveal the tales of the genuine heavyweights. Who've made a permanent imprint on the abundance scene across hundreds of years, John d Rockefeller. While diving into the records of history's most affluent people, we unavoidably experience faces that become the stuff of dreams for scheme, scholars around the world, john d Rockefeller is exactly one such figure.

"Black Americans first clearly experienced God in the dehumanizing experience of slavery in the United States. It was in that experience that the kernel of truth relating to Black being was first revealed to Blacks themselves. For years they were taught that God was a God who favored the slave masters, one who taught that the slaves' only duty was to be obedient and to serve their master well. But as they learned to read the Bible for themselves, they realized the lie being taught them. They read of a God of freedom, one whose total identity and activity was with the poor and powerless rather than the wealthy and powerful, as prophesied by Amos, Hosea and Micah. They read of a God who set a people, an enslaved people like themselves, free and carried them to a new land where he became their God and they became his people (the Exodus). And they read of a God who so loved the poor and the oppressed that he became one with them, a human being born into the world of the poor, condemned to death and dying for their freedom (the Gospels, especially Luke). They read and they believed."

Robin Hughes Harris (August 30, 1953 – March 18, 1990) was an American comedian and actor, known for his recurring comic sketch about "Bé-bé's Kids". He was posthumously nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male for his performance in film House Party.

Robin Harris was born in Chicago, Illinois. In 1961, the family moved to Los Angeles, where he attended Manual Arts High School. Harris then attended Ottawa University in Kansas. According to The Washington Post, "...in the funeral program was a picture of him as a lean high school track star. He earned an athletic scholarship to Ottawa University in Kansas, and he never gave up playing basketball."

During this time, he began to hone his craft of comedy. He worked for Hughes Aircraft, a rental car company, and Security Pacific Bank to pay his bills. In 1980, he debuted at Los Angeles' Comedy Store.

During the mid-1980s, Harris worked as the master of ceremonies at the Comedy Act Theater. His "old school" brand of humor began to gain him a mainstream following. Harris made his acting debut playing a bartender in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988). Harris also had roles in 1989's Do the Right Thing and Harlem Nights. Harris played the father of Kid in House Party (1990). He followed up later that year with a small role as a jazz club MC in Mo' Better Blues.

In Harris' "Bé-bé's Kids" routines, Harris' girlfriend Jamika would insist that he take her son and her friend Bé-bé's three children with them on a date, as she continually agreed to babysit them. The children would regularly make a fool out of and/or annoy Harris. "We Bé-bé's kids", they would proclaim, "we don't die...we multiply."

The Hudlin Brothers had intended to make a feature film based upon the "Bé-bé's Kids" sketches, but Harris died while the film was in pre-production. Bébé's Kids instead became an animated feature. It was directed by Bruce W. Smith and featured the voices of Faizon Love (as Harris), Vanessa Bell Calloway, Marques Houston, Nell Carter, Jonell Green, Rich Little, and Tone Lōc.

In the early hours of March 18, 1990, Harris died in his sleep of a heart attack in the hotel room of his hometown Chicago's Four Season Hotel after performing for a sold out crowd at the Regal Theater, at the age of 36. At the time of Harris's death, his wife was pregnant with their son, Robin Harris, Jr., who was born six months later, in September 1990.

In 2006, a posthumous DVD, titled We Don't Die, We Multiply: The Robin Harris Story (2006), was released. The film features never-before seen performances by Harris and accolades from such contemporaries as Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer, D. L. Hughley, Robert Townsend, and Joe Torry. The film features a rap performed and dedicated to Harris by his son, Robin, Jr.

~ Henry William Lowe (Hal) Hurst, "Josephine Dale Lace"

Josephine Lace (known as José) was a glamorous Johannesburg socialite, often seen around town in a carriage drawn by zebras. She was supposedly a mistress to King Edward VII, as well as other several influential British noblemen. She pursued an acting career, but eventually gave it up for matrimony -- or rather matrimonies. She was married twice to John Dale Lace, a South African gold and diamond magnate who adopted her son Lancelot from a previous relationship. As if her life couldn't get more colourful, José also survived being shipwrecked at Galway Castle. She died in 1937.

How to style an African Print clothing

HARARE – Ever since I decided to put African Print clothing as the headline item in my shop I have a lot of mixed feelings about how clients feel about it. I would say a certain generation and group within generations think of it as a backward, Old Nollywood attire. Continue reading How to style an African Print clothing
