[lboogie1906]

Antonio Maceo Smith (April 16, 1903 - December 19, 1977) educator, entrepreneur, and civil rights activist was born in Texarkana, Texas to Howell and Winnie Smith. He earned an AB from Fisk University and an MBA from New York University. He earned an MA in Economics and Business Law from Columbia University. He opened an advertising agency in New York.

He moved to Dallas to teach business courses in the segregated Dallas Independent School District. He became the editor of the Dallas Express, a weekly Black newspaper. He promoted Black economic and political empowerment in the area by becoming the first executive secretary of the Dallas Negro Chamber of Commerce. He sponsored voter registration programs. He collaborated with the NAACP and other political and civil rights organizations such as the Democratic Progressive Voters League and the Council of Negro Organizations to promote racial equality and challenge the Democratic Party’s white primary system in Texas.

He became deputy director of the Hall of Negro Life at the Texas Centennial Exposition. He married Fannie C. Fletcher (1936). The following year he was appointed to an administrative position with the Federal Housing Administration. In 1939 the US Housing Authority chose him to serve as a regional relations advisor.

He continued to participate in statewide civil rights campaigns. In 1944 he worked closely with the legal team of the NAACP on the voting rights discrimination lawsuit Smith v. Allwright. He participated in the NAACP’s legal campaign to end educational segregation in Texas in the civil suit Sweatt v. Painter.

Along with his involvement in the business community and civil rights movement, he served as president of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Alumni Chapter in the 1950s and was a member of the Knights of Pythias and New Hope Baptist Church in Dallas and a trustee at Bishop College. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphaphialpha

2019 My Year In Music

With 20,348 scrobbles (196,945 total) and 4,243 different artists listened (36,122 total), 2019 was a very interesting year in music. Even though my first scrobble from him was way back in 2009, this year I had three of his songs in my top played songs of the year. Yikes.

Just like in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 here’s a review of the music I listened to through 2019.

Here are my must "loved" tracks of the year in chronological order:

Egbert — Haasten (10 JAAR LIVE Remix) Tool - Fear Inoculum Badflower - Promise Me Silversun Pickups - It Doesn't Matter Why Tool - Invincible Angèle - Balance ton quoi Pine - Sunder

This year there was no song of the year, but an album of the year with Tool's Fear Inoculum.

Here are my Top 57 played songs according to last.fm played 5 times or more (4 more than last year):

1 Chris Brown - No Guidance (feat. Drake) (9 times played) 2 Tool - Fear Inoculum (8 times played) 3 Illenium - Good Things Fall Apart (with Jon Bellion) (7 times played) 4 Tool - Invincible 5 Ariana Grande - break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored (6 times played) 6 Bee Gees - More Than A Woman 7 Bread - Guitar Man 8 Bread - Make It With You 9 Catfish and the Bottlemen - 2all 10 Dreamers - Die Happy 11 Highly Suspect - 16 12 Juan Gabriel - Ya Me Voy 13 Lana Del Rey - Doin' Time 14 Marshmello - Here With Me 15 Of Monsters and Men - Alligator 16  Slipknot - Unsainted 17 Tool - 7empest 18 Tool - Pneuma 19 Twin XL - Good 20 Absofacto - Dissolve (5 times played) 21 Bastille - Joy 22 Bishop Briggs - Champion 23 DaBaby - Suge 24 Drake - Money In The Grave (Drake ft. Rick Ross) 25 Egbert - Fractals 26 John Denver - Annie's Song 27 John Lennon - Woman 28 Juan Gabriel - Adiós Al Amigo 29 Juan Gabriel - Adorable Mentirosa 30 Juan Gabriel - Ahora Con la Banda... Te Voy a Olvidar / Ya para Qué / La Farsante 31 Juan Gabriel - El Sinaloense 32 Juan Gabriel - Huerfano Soy 33 Juan Gabriel - Infidelidad 34 Juan Gabriel - Me Gustas Mucho 35 Juan Gabriel - Te Acuerdas? Popurrí: Te Dedico Esta Canción/Costumbres/La Más Querida/No Me Vuelvo a Enamorar/Fue un Placer Conocerte/He Venido a Pedirte Perdón 36 Juan Gabriel - Te Doy Las Gracias 37  Judah & the Lion - Why Did You Run? 38 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road - Remix 39 Local Natives - When Am I Gonna Lose You 40 Maceo Plex - Mutant Magic 41 Maluma - HP 42 Meg Myers - Running Up That Hill 43 Of Monsters and Men - Wars 44 Oscar L - Exodo 45 Patrik Berg - Bright 46 Post Malone - Circles 47 Reinier Zonneveld - Eating Concrete 48 Sarah McLachlan - Hold On 49 Silversun Pickups - It Doesn't Matter Why 50 Tool - Chocolate Chip Trip 51 Tool - Culling Voices 52 Tool - Descending 53 Tool - Legion Inoculant 54 Tool - Litanie contre la Peur 55 Tool - Mockingbeat 56 Tool - Prison Sex 57 Tool - Sober

Here are some highlights from my Top played songs:

From the most played album of the year, comes the title song, which clocks over 10 mins of pure bliss.

"The deceiver says, he says You belong to me You don't wanna breathe the light of the others Fear the light, fear the breath Fear the others for eternity But I hear them now, inhale the clarity Hear the venom, the venom in What you say inoculated Bless this immunity"

Lana del Rey returned in 2019, and from the opening notes of her first single, you knew she nailed this awesome Sublime cover.

"Me and my girl, we got this relationship I love her so bad, but she treats me like **** On lock-down like a penitentiary She spreads her lovin' all over And when she gets home, there's none left for me."

This year's Country's crossover hit was the song that broke boundaries. Is it Country? Is it Hip-Hop? Why can't it be both?

"I got the horses in the back Horse tack is attached Hat is matte black Got the boots that's black to match Ridin' on a horse, ha You can whip your Porsche I been in the valley You ain't been up off that porch, now."

2019 was a good year for Maluma, and the Urban genre in general, as it keep growing and growing. Is it here to stay?

"Quiere salir, fumar, beber Subir un video pa' que lo vea él Pa' que se de cuenta de lo que perdió Pa' que el HP se sienta peor"

The cover of the year goes to Meg Myers' Running Up That Hill. It definitively does Kate Bush justice.

"And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God And I'd get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building Say, if I only could."

Listen to the complete Playlist:

Finally, #MusicMonday is where I gather my music recommendations from up and coming artists throughout the year. 2019's year compilation is available as a standalone playlist:
