Rec. #488: On Being 'Young, Gifted, and Black'



What: This article from Topic is about Nina Simone, Lorraine Hansberry, and the story behind the song "To Be Young, Gifted, and Black."

Representative quote: "We never talked about men or clothes or other such inconsequential things when we got together. It was always Marx, Lenin, and revolution—real girls' talk."

How to get it: Read the article (by Alexis Coe) and see the photos (curated by Janicza Bravo) on Topic here.

Connection to previous Wreckage: Topic also gave us the web series Ave Maria Bamford (Rec. #407).
