Matt Kemp proving there is more to being a role model than just hitting homeruns.

Following a game against the San Francisco Giants, Kemp shake hands with 19-year-old Dodgers fan, Joshua Jones, BUT gave away his game-worn jersey, hat, and shoes to Jones, as well. Joshua Jones has been battling brain cancer for three years.

Also important to note is that stadium, full of San Francisco Giants fans, cheered and showed their appreciation as well. THIS A CLASSY MOMENT, indeed.

This is a cool moment. Since the Montreal Expos moved to Washington, I didn’t have a MLB team… I may have to support the L.A. Dodgers now.

“I think the most important thing is to bring the people to a point where they have self-confidence, and understand that they can, at last…be the authors of their own well-being… And at the same time, have a sense of the price to be paid for that well-being.’ ‘Ideas cannot be killed, ideas never die.”

Black History Month Magazines: The Black Panther

Not really a magazine, it was a weekly newspaper published by the Black Panther Party from 1967-80. Art directed by Revolutionary Artist and Minister of Culture Emory Douglas, The Black Panther covers were a combination of Douglas’s own powerful illustration, collage, high-contrast photographs, and poster-like graphics.

Many of these covers are courtesy of Babylon Falling and Emory Douglas Art, both great resources for The Black Panter covers, inside pages, posters, and graphics.

““I think there are plenty of good people in America, but there are also plenty of bad people in America and the bad ones are the ones who seem to have all the power and be in these positions to block things that you and I need. Because this is the situation, you and I have to preserve the right to do what is necessary to bring an end to that situation, and it doesn’t mean that I advocate violence, but at the same time I am not against using violence in self-defense. I don’t even call it violence when it’s self-defense, I call it intelligence.””
