Hi everybody! 🙂

Here is my five suggestions for this week.

Social Issues

First up we have episode 22 in the Black American History series from Crash Course with Clint Smith. In this episode Clint talks about two activists who fought for the rights of black people Booker T. Washington and W.E.B DuBois. He discusses how their approaches were very different and gives us an overview of their backgrounds to help us know where each of the men were coming from. A really interesting episode and it goes to show that many approaches to equality and social issues can all combine together to change so much.

Next up is episode 23 in the Black American History series from Crash Course with Clint Smith. I absolutely adore this series and this episode in which Clint talked about the Black Women's Club Movement and about many black women who were involved in the movement is excellent. Clint speaks about their careers and lives and how many organisations were founded due to these amazing women. It is a really informative episode and we learn about Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, Sojourner Truth, Angelina Weld Grimke, Gertrude Mossell, Mary Church Terrell, Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Jane Patterson, Fanny Coppin, Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Mary McLeod Bethune. Clint speaks about how the work of black women has always and still is making a huge difference to making incredible change happen.

TV

To help you all get in the Halloween mood here is JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson dancing in the Dancing With The Stars Halloween special in the US to Anything Goes. It is such a great performance. I would never have thought this song would work for Halloween but it went really well with the performance. Very creative and epic. They done such a great job, really enjoyed it.

Next we have the seventh RuPaul's Drag Race compilation by Mikeekee. I absolutely love these compilations. Always a great joy to watch.

Music

This song is so amazing and the music video is really moving and beautiful. Emeli and Laya Lewis tell the story of the song so well. Such beautiful storytelling.
