Swipe to read Jordan Reyes on Ruth Brown and The Clovers! Full contribution via the link in the bio. "There is a disparity of Black Joy, of Black Artistry, of Black Analysis, of Black Gathering, of Black Critique in the American cultural archive. Whether this is purposeful or simply oversight, it is due to White Supremacy. But as we unearth, brandish, or shout from the rooftops that Black Joy, Black Artistry, Black Analysis, Black Gathering, Black Critique exist and are to be celebrated, we take a swing to that paradigm. The posters in Caldonia are thrilling. They make permanent the ephemerality of live performance. They chronicle ecstasy and communion. They look fucking cool! They inspire. They empower." —Jordan Reyes @bigfanofnoise
