Happy Black History Month! 1940s actor Canada Lee wants you to register to vote.

This PSA is from the September 22, 1944 issue of the Cleveland Gazette (a Black owned weekly publication that ran for 58 years)! Canada Lee was a professional boxer and later a successful actor, though his career was cut short by Hollywood blacklisting due in large part to his dedication to the civil rights movement.

This clipping is from the digital collection Black Life in America, which includes hundreds of Black-owned publications you can leaf through at your leisure using your LCPL card. (Not an LCPL patron? Your library may also have a subscription - ask them!)

REGISTER to VOTE

Canada Lee is registered and he wants people to know it. What's more, Canada wants EVERYONE to register. He points out that you can't vote unless you're registered. And, says Canada, "If you don't vote you're throwing away your most precious right of citizenship - the right to a government of the people, by the people and for the people." The popular actor known to playgoers and movie fans alike for his performances in "Native Son" and "Lifeboat" is currently playing in the all-Negro cast of "Anna Lucasta," latest Broadway hit.

The World, the Flesh and the Devil: An Early Example of Existentialist Afrofuturism

The World, the Flesh and the Devil is a fantastic yet underseen film that explores race in the after math of nuclear holocaust, and stars the late great Harry Belafonte. Please give it a watch and check out my review for the film.

Harry Belafonte’s passing has struck a chord within varying circles dependent on your primary artistic outlet of choice. While best known for his calypso music and activism, Belafonte was also an actor with an eclectic body of work. Through fifteen narrative feature films made over six and a half decades, Belafonte worked with major talent, including behind and in front of the camera, often in…

Lifeboat (Спасательная шлюпка)

Один із найнезвичайніших фільмів Альфреда Хічкока розповідає історію восьми людей, які врятувалися після того, як їхній пароплав утопив німецький підводний човен (дія відбувається під час Другої світової війни).

Майстерне дослідження людської природи, яке стоїть особняком у творчості великого режисера.

In June, we had the biggest wildfires in Nova Scotia's history. In July we had the worst floods in 30 years that killed 4 people. In August, we flip flopped between extreme heat and "rain bombs". In September we're getting hit by Hurricane Lee, only a year after the last major hurricane (the one before that was back in 2017). The North Atlantic sea surface temperature remains over 1.2C above the 1991-2020 average, and 2023 is heading towards being the first recorded year to breach the 1.5C global temperature barrier. Any Nova Scotian who is still denying climate change at this point is the dumbest asshole alive. We have been slammed by extreme weather events back-to-back-to-back. Here's hoping next year is calmer, but it's clear that this is a taste of a 1.5C warmer world, and it kinda fuckin sucks.
