Happy birthday, Robert Frost.
In the March 30, 1962 issue of LIFE, the poet was the subject of a cover story, America’s Ageless Poet Robert Frost.
Saw this great freehand drawing of Brother Malcolm today at a local school. The conversation that followed was a reminder that many minority parents still don’t support their children’s artistic ability. We have to stop this mindset. Not everyone is meant to dribble or run with a ball. #ArtInSchool #FeedTheDream #MalcolmX

Jonah: A Story of Legend, Friendship and Survival
Jonah is a short by Kibwe Tavares. It is set in Zanzibar and looks at the effects tourism can have on a country from an economic and environmental perspective. Mbwana and his best friend Juma are men with big dreams. Dreams that become a reality when they photograph “the world’s biggest jumping fish” leaping out of the sea.
Their tiny town soon blossoms into a tourist hot-spot as a result. But for Mbwana, the reality isn’t what he dreamed – when he meets the fish again, both of them forgotten, ruined and old, he decides only one of them can survive.
