It was 90’s day and I understood the assignment. 😂 Warren looks like he’s about to rap and Makayla looks like she’s going to the concert. I felt like I should tell Makayla to run to the corner store and get me a $.25 bag of chips and a $.35 icee. Okay, I’m done. 😂 @brennangonzalez_ @hassan_bytheway look at your niece and nephew. 😂 ❤️❤️ 📸: @sha_designed_it #MakaylaJenae #doorknockers #bambooearrings #bantuknots #timbs #butnotreally #WarrenJames #goldchain #LLpantleg #lovethem #mybabies #Ilovethe90s #DrewCharterSchool #spiritweek (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWavJuLA_bj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reposted from @theartistlisalove Eva Davis is an Atlanta icon. I knew I wanted to tell her story. I was burning to do it.

Eva Davis moved into East Lake Meadows in 1971, became president of the tenants association, lead rent strikes and fought for improvements to the community. She especially wanted children to have a safe place to play and live as well as decent, humane living for the residents. With a personality larger than life she was a tenacious diva. Not only did she have to fight the city, she had to battle drug dealers who turned the community into a war zone. It was so bad, this section of Atlanta was infamously known as “Little Vietnam.” (It was bad.) Drug dealers tried to intimidate her, but her personality and determination for a better quality of life was bigger than their threats. Nevertheless, she persisted.

This Queen also had time to work with leaders, Civil rights activists, and presidents including President Jimmy Carter, Rev Joseph Boone, John Lewis, Maynard Jackson and Andrew Young.

She passed away in 2012 and the city honored her by naming a street in the community called “Eva Davis Way.”

The legendary Ken Burns created an excellent documentary called ‘East Lake Meadows:A Public Housing Story.”

This 3 panel artwork sits in the lobby of Charles Drew Charter School in East Atlanta and was created in 2020.

I spotted a #ReddsButtonsProduced button on @dj_knotts - Here's a Repost from @dj_knotts #HHGB Earlier today at @DrewCharterSchool speaking about Hip Hop Culture and connections to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. Sharing how they align and creating a forum for the kids to help with providing solutions was energizing. Was sort of like alchemy..Thanks to @kevinlparkerdotcom for the invite. New movements, more progress... #CultureForward #hiphopgivesback #STEM #STEAM #hiphoped #Alchemetic - #ReddsButtons #ButtonLife #ReddsButtonsSupporters

I was honored to hear my one of my favorite professors, a renowned truth speaker, and our culture leader, Dr. Gregory Carr, serve the good word today! He was the keynote speaker at a Day Party with a Purpose hosted by the HU Atlanta Alumni Club for prospective students at @drewcharterschool! There was a panel of Bison students and alumni present to represent The Mecca in hopes that the young brothers & sisters would see the light (the HU light and/or the HBCU light). I’m so glad I was in the room because Dr. Carr feeds your soul EVERY SINGLE TIME he has an audience! #DrCarr #OurHowardDad #TruthSpeaker #Nostalgia #HUtreasure #ThankYouDrCarr #HUyouKnow #IfYouDontKnowCarrWillTellYou #Darty #HUalumni #HUAAC #TheMeccaInATL (at Charles R.
