Truth and fact! Prof. Onli was inspired as a child by the brilliance of George Washington Carver, scientist & artist extraordinaire. Then later, in the midst of the Black Cultural revolution, by the political vision of Frederick Douglas. Followed by the rise of Mae Jameson in the Space Program at NASA. All the way...Future-Primitif. Rhythmistic. Afrofuturist even! Reality, not limited to fantasy.
Followed by more imagination and possibilities in winning the Peace!.
During the Black Cultural Revolution of the 1960s & '70s in the United States there emerged.........
