OURstory: Dr. Bernard Harris
Did you know that Astronaut Dr. Bernard Harris was the first African American to walk in space on February 2, 1995?Dr. Harris was the Payload Commander on STS-63, the first flight of the joint Russian-American Space Program. He fulfilled his childhood dreams and became another pioneer in Black history.
This is not the first time we have talked about the impact of African Americans in the space program. You may recall that we showed this video of space history that isn't well known:
Did you ever dream of being an astronaut?

Happy Birthday: Eddie Murphy (1961 - )
Eddie Murphy used to be one of the funniest men on the planet. Some villagers may remember his appearances on Saturday Night Live or his performance in the original '48 Hours' (1982) or 'Trading Places' (1983) 'Beverly Hills Cop'(1984) or 'Coming to America' (1988).
Other villagers may recall how remarkable Eddie Murphy was in his stand-up comedy routines ... especially 'Raw' (1987). At the time of its release Eddie Murphy Raw contained more uses of the "f" word than any other feature-length film, surpassing Scarface for the distinction.
Somewhere along the way he made some poor career choices that caused his star to dim in my eyes. There isn't much entertainment from him in over 20 years that is of any redeeming value. In any case, I join other villagers in wishing a happy birthday to Eddie Murphy.

Actors for Obama: Morgan Freeman
I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of Morgan Freeman. He said some things in the past that rubbed me the wrong way. However, I just saw this pro-Obama ad that he shared recently on 'The Conan Show' and I must admit that I'm feeling a little better about this award-winning actor.

Happy Birthday: Moms Mabley (1897-1975)
Let's take a moment to remember 'Moms' Mabley. She was born Loretta Mary Aiken in Brevard, NC on this date in 1897. She was the first African American woman to establish herself as a single act in stand-up comedy. [SOURCE]A pioneer of social satire, she strongly influenced Black comedians Richard Pryor and Whoopi Goldberg. In her comedy routines, Mabley adopted a stage persona based loosely on her own grandmother but with a distinctly cantankerous and sassy edge. She was known for her folksy humor and ribald jokes and affectionately referred to her audience as her "children."
Onstage Mabley became famous for her gaudy house-dresses, floppy hats, and over-sized clodhoppers. During the 1960s, she recorded more than 20 albums of her comedy routines and appeared on television shows hosted by Harry Belafonte, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, Flip Wilson and Bill Cosby.
A year after starring in the feature film Amazing Grace (1974), Mabley died of natural causes at the age of 78.
What do you remember of 'Moms' Mabley?

Video of the Day: Al Sharpton Lampooned on Saturday Night Live
I guess that you know you've made it into pop culture when you are satirized on Saturday Night Live. I must admit that I haven't watched a full episode of Saturday Night Live for over 20 years ... but, I did find this video-clip about the new Rev. Al Sharpton talk show to be funny!
