One of my *favorite* myths about the “American west” is that it was white. 1) the American west was northern Mexico 2) slavery was abolished in Mexico in 1829 (yes that makes Texas history even more fucked up) .
The “American west” was Indigenous, Black, mestizo, AND Asian.

Ellis “Mountain Man” Harris from ”The Black Cowboy exhibition for nycthrive ・・・
"ORIGIN STORIES" Father`s Day edition by studiomuseum educator nelarte for #KindnessBeatsTheVirus | Ellis “Mountain Man” Harris from “The Black Cowboy” exhibition

From November 2016 to March 2017, The Studio Museum in Harlem showcased “The Black Cowboy" exhibition curated by Amanda Hunt. Cowboy offered a snapshot of Black communities with long histories of keeping and training horses, represented primarily through photographs and cinematic materials.
.
This photo of Ellis Harris was one in a series of black and white photos by Brad Trent. The portraits ran in The Village Voice, and feature members of the New York chapter of the Federation of the Black Cowboys (FBC). FBC was a New York City-based community that shares the legacy cowboy ancestors with African-American city youth through mentoring, rodeos, and school visits. A long-standing member of FBC, Harris became a cowboy after watching a black rodeo in Harlem in the 1970s.

The F train isn’t sure if they have a cold, the flu, or covid. But they’re considerate enough to not want to share whatever it is. ⁣Kindness is contagious.

We are super proud to collaborate with the amazing nycthrive collective for a media production class in Brooklyn. Check out this great video the Thrive team put together featuring some of the students` work and their feedback on the experience. nycthrive

Today`s #KindnessBeatsTheVirus challenge is inspired by our BandLab Music Makers at PSMS282.
🥁
Prompt: What music helps you feel better when you`re scared or sad or angry?
💥
Share a photo, video, or any image that captures it on social media, and tag #KindnessBeatsTheVirus NYCThrive
📽
About the video: PS/MS 282 students produced their own music during #ThriveCollective’s winter 2020 #SchoolMedia after school program using #BandLab. They talk about the importance of creating music during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I don’t like hearing about coronavirus, when people die and stuff. But as Mr. Josh says, if you feel something, let it out in music! When I let it out, I feel like it’s gone.” Special thanks to teaching artist Joshua Labidou, our collaborating partner projectivity, NYC Council Member brad.lander, the NYCCouncil #DigitalInclusion Initiative, nycyouth , Principal Rodriguez and the staff of #psms282, and our participating students.

Stay home, healthy, and safe. AND help kindness go viral during the #Coronovirus Quarantine.

#Shoutout to Mr. Glenn, #BUGS Regents Living Environment Teacher,  for inviting his Kitchen Botany class into his kitchen for a virtual lesson about how to make sourdough starter from scratch and the chemistry reactions that make it effective. This warm and wonderful lesson included reminisces of living in San Francisco, baking tips, and how to thoughtfully craft a meal that meets the needs and tastes of different family members.
