Today In History Pearl Bailey, famed entertainer, was born in Newport News, VA, on this date March 29, 1918. At the age of 15 Bailey quit her high school in Philadelphia for a career as a singer and dancer. She appeared in cafés, nightclubs, and theatres in northeastern American cities, and at times she sang with big bands, including those led by Cootie Williams and Count Basie. She appeared in her first Broadway musical, St. Louis Woman, in 1946 and her first film, Variety Girl, in 1947. In her later years Bailey wrote several books: The Raw Pearl (1968), Talking to Myself (1971), Pearl’s Kitchen (1973), and Hurry Up, America, and Spit (1976). In 1975 she was appointed special ambassador to the United Nations by Pres. Gerald Ford. She enrolled in Georgetown University and at age 67 graduated with a bachelor’s degree in theology. Her last book, Between You and Me (1989), details her experiences with higher education. In 1988 Bailey received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Pres. Ronald Reagan.

#throwbackthursday I love this photograph of singer and actress, Pearl Bailey. She appeared in vaudeville and made her Broadway debut in St. Louis Woman in 1946. Also appearing alongside Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte in 1954, Carmen Jones. She received a Special Tony Award for the title role in the all-Black production of Hello, Dolly! in 1968. In 1986, she won a Daytime Emmy award for her performance as a fairy godmother in the ABC Afterschool Special Cindy Eller: A Modern Fairy Tale. *wikepedia #blackpinup #pinup #blackhistory #actress #singer #pearlbailey https://www.instagram.com/p/CUc67uEgYgH/?utm_medium=tumblr

This morning enjoyed a classic performance by a young lady #gladysknight ... she was on one of my fav shows the #muppetshow ... I was steady trying to remember the words as i humm though the classic hit 'heard it through the grapevine 🍇 ' When you admire the beauty, talent and great music of this pioneering female black artist... I see the smiles and hear the joyous voice. I cant help but wonder how strong we are to be happy amidst the oppression we face as people of color... This show aired from 1976-1981 just a mere decade after legal segregation was outlawed and the assassination of #MLK. When going through the #Disneyplus list of episodes, I really was excited to watch legends like Dom Deluise and Roger Moore in their primes squaring off with the cast of Muppets. Its also so sad to see so few people of color as guest stars...we had 8 out of 118 episodes. Other black stars were #LouRawls, #BenVreen, #DianaRoss, #DizzyGillespie, #LolaFalana, #PearlBailey & #HarryBelafonte , not in that order. Ben Vreen was the first & to be honest his opening act for a black person on the Muppets where he was dancing up a jig and smiling that ridiculous over dramatic happy negro smile was sad. Please don't get me wrong. This man is legendary. I completely understand for him to be allowed on the show he must have an act that the #racist audience would accept. Some would point out 2021 and scream...look at the progress we have made...apart from the fact that the show was taped a little over a hundred years after the abolishment of slavery, 50 yrs from #JimCrow & just after the first rebellion (#civilrightsmovement). I say they should send us the schedule showing when the southern white Christian tribe aka the #Confederates ✝️ will be able to make enough progress to express simply humanity and empathy to other human beings... #January6th #insurrection shows that I guess we have to wait much much longer... Have a blessed day! #gladysknight #muppetshow #blackhistory #africandiaspora #africaunite #blacklivesmatter #thankyougeorgefloyd #redlining #criticalracetheory #truthshallsetyoufree #truthhurts #blackhistory365 #africanamerican #civilrights #jan6 (at The Muppet Show) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV7-EgbLCpf/?utm_medium=tumblr
