Black History Month Fact: Super Bowl Edition

Back in 1992, during Super Bowl XXVI, Fox aired a special live episode of In Living Color directly opposite the NFL’s official halftime show. That halftime performance on CBS was a fairly traditional themed show with figure skaters and musical numbers, which many viewers found unimpressive. The In Living Color broadcast drew over 20 million viewers away from the game’s halftime because it featured high-energy comedy, music, and popular cast members a striking contrast to what the NFL was offering.

Because of that sharp loss in halftime viewers, the NFL realized it needed to make its halftime entertainment more compelling to keep people from switching channels. Starting the very next year at Super Bowl XXVII in 1993 the league invited major pop stars like Michael Jackson to perform, shifting the halftime show toward the big-name, high-production music spectacle that’s now the norm.

my dreams, my works, must wait till after hell
By Gwendolyn Brooks

I hold my honey and I store my bread
In little jars and cabinets of my will.
I label clearly, and each latch and lid
I bid, Be firm till I return from hell.
I am very hungry. I am incomplete.
And none can tell when I may dine again.
No man can give me any word but Wait,
The puny light. I keep eyes pointed in;
Hoping that, when the devil days of my hurt
Drag out to their last dregs and I resume
On such legs as are left me, in such heart
As I can manage, remember to go home,
My taste will not have turned insensitive
To honey and bread old purity could love

Was never taught this through college either!

This is a hard-hitting fact, at least where I'm from, there's much work to be done in the community!

Szomszédunk tavaly https://www.gerard.hu/hu/csere....peslemez-helyett-kos újíttatta fel a tetőt, és meglepődtem, milyen gyorsan kész lett. Akkor mondta, hogy nem hagyományos cserép került fel. A cikket olvasva állt össze a kép, miért választották. Nálunk is tervben van felújítás pár éven belül, és őszintén szólva a viharok miatt inkább az erősebb megoldások felé hajlok most már.
