However, he is a kazillionaire ... so I'm glad he is donating money to Black museums.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-68420636107450101232010-06-01T11:57:12.660-04:002010-06-01T11:57:12.660-04:00Villager !

Did you know that Bob Johnson (co-founder) of BET gave $3 million to the National Underground Railroad Freedom museum?! I was so impressed that I wrote him to thank him.

I have always though it ironic that museum is here in Cincinnati, since those on the "railroad" were advised to avoid going through or stopping in Cincinnati. North of town and south of town were safe routes to get you to Xenia and then on up to Cleveland or over to Canada. The exhibits have been quite good, however, and worth a visit. The current exhibit of the history lynchings is a must see and may well help you understand the Billy Holiday and Nina Simone song "Strange Fruit." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ZyuULy9zsNed Hamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799820373069792324noreply@blogger.com
