With George Santos expelled a reminder that it was The North Shore Leader, a local, small paper on Long Island, that broke the story of his fraud before election. This is why local media is crucial and must be supported and not ignored

Black people did not learn agricultural skills via slavery. Let’s be VERY clear.
Black people already had the knowledge and skills!
It was colonists who had no idea how to grow crops and preserve food; so they exploited and bought Black people to put their skills to work in the Americas.

“While bleeding to death in my helicopter after I was shot down, I didn’t care if the troops risking their lives to save me were gay, straight, or of color. Just so they didn’t leave me behind. I will not be lectured about what our military needs by a 5-deferment draft dodger.”

Another reason to see and support the film is because it's a miracle it even exist at all. The director, Kenny Vance had his home destroyed in Hurricane Sandy and lost hundreds of hours of footage. #doowop #rocknroll #documentary #Hurricanes #HurricaneSandy #KennyVance

If you enjoy documentaries about the people behind-the-scenes in the music industry, films like Standing in the Shadows of Motown, the Wrecking Crew, and 20 Ft from Stardom, then you need to see this. Also, fans of #SpoutingClassics will really enjoy this too! #doowop #rocknroll #blackmusicmonth

It would’ve been interesting if it had deeply explored those racial & sociopolitical things. But that could be for another #documentary filmmaker. Because what this film aimed to be was just like its title suggests, “a love story.” On that account, it was a great success. #doowop #blackmusicmonth
