“Carell Augustus is a genius.” ―Karamo Brown
A visionary photography book that brings together the best of classic Hollywood with today’s iconic Black entertainers for an immersive experience unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
Features a foreword by Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker and an afterword by beloved entertainer Niecy Nash!
Black Hollywood is a groundbreaking reimagining of Hollywood’s most beloved films, including Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Singin’ in the Rain, Mission: Impossible, Forrest Gump, and more. Visionary photographer Carell Augustus has created a “who’s who” of today’s Black entertainers recreating iconic cinematic scenes, renewing readers’ appreciation of the past while asking questions about representation in media and inspiring the artists of the future.
Compiled over the course of more than ten years and highlighting more than sixty-five stars such as Vanessa L. Williams, Dulé Hill, Karamo Brown, Shermar Moore, and others, Carell Augustus says, “Black Hollywood is not just a book for Black people―it’s a book for all people about Black people. About the dreams we were never told we could achieve. About the places we were never told we could go. And now, finally, about how we can get there.”

This documentary tells the story of how Dr. Mutulu Shakur, stepfather of Tupac Shakur, along with fellow Black Panthers and the Young Lords, combined community health with radical politics to create the first acupuncture detoxification program in America in 1973 – a visionary project eventually deemed too dangerous to exist.

We will have a discussion session after the film.

“Either leave the church, make like this never happened, or I will treat you like the others.” These were the words uttered to me by a very prominent and respected high school teacher and pastor of one of the largest churches in Dallas, Texas. Beginning in my 10th-grade year of high school and continuing for seven years, I was groomed, sexually assaulted and became the victim of manipulative, predatory behavior by someone I trusted. I was young and gravely deceived.The year 2018 was monumental for me. I was both spiritually awakened and haunted by the ringing in my ears and the heaviness of my heart from watching the #MeToo movement play out in the media. Years of suppressing my story became unsettling to me as story after story resonated with my own personal story. Activist Tarana Burke’s unwavering dedication to giving secret stories a voice propelled me to share my own. This is my story. As you read my memoir, I invite you to walk with me as I recount the devastating events that disrupted the course of my life and nearly ended it. This is my personal and true story of “Small Giants Who Act And Prey.”

Help Your Child To Read Better

What –and why — all Black parents need to know about helping their children with reading

Using proper methods to teach children how to read has been called “the civil rights issue of our time.” Too many schools are teaching reading incorrectly and Black and Hispanic children are being hurt by this at a much higher level than white or Asian children. In addition, Black and Hispanic children’s reading achievement has been impacted much more by the pandemic. According to The Dallas Morning News, reading scores fell almost twice as much for Black and Hispanic students as they did for white and Asian students on the most recent MAP tests.

Now, Black parents can do something about that. On Saturday, April 16, developmental psychologist Irene Daria, Ph.D., author of Steps to Reading, will give a presentation at Pan- African Connection on how parents can easily help their children learn to read so that no child ever again will need to be victim of a bad reading curriculum.

You will receive:

• Step-by-step instructions on how to teach:

o Phonics

o The most frequently used sight words

• Fun and engaging worksheets

• Phonics Bingo and board games

• Online activities

• Guides to phonics stories the children can read.
