Ellington Was Not a StreetIn a reflective tribute to the African American community of old, noted poet Ntozake Shange recalls her childhood home and the close knit group of innovators that often gathered there. These men of vision, brought to life in the majestic paintings of artist Kadir Nelson, lived at a time when the color of their skin dictated where they could live, what schools they could attend, and even where they could sit on a bus or in a movie theater.

In a reflective tribute to the African-American community of old, noted poet Ntozake Shange recalls her childhood home and the close-knit group of innovators that often gathered there. These men of vision, brought to life in the majestic paintings of artist Kadir Nelson, lived at a time when the color of their skin dictated where they could live, what schools they could attend, and even where they could sit on a bus or in a movie theater.Yet in the face of this tremendous adversity, these dedicated souls and others like them not only demonstrated the importance of Black culture in America, but also helped issue in a movement that changed the world. Their lives and their works inspire us to this day, and serve as a guide to how we approach the challenges of tomorrow.

Best Sheets for a Fat Mattress
Color: 01 - Light Grey, Size: Queen
These are my favorite sheets ever. They are super soft and comfy. They are the only "deep pocket" sheets I've purchased recently that actually seem to have deep pockets, pockets big enough for my apparently abnormally fat mattress. These fitted sheets are high quality. They actually do the job and stay in place. I'm buying a second set. The light gray is super cute and less expensive than other sheet sets.

Perfect fit
Color: Olive Green, Size: Queen
FINALLY sheets that fit over my deep pocket mattress and topper. Soft, thick and nicely made. The color is perfect. And they don’t pop off the edges!
