God Didn’t Forget About Me. You looking at THE INAUGURAL Assistant Professor of African Diasporic Theatre Practice & Performance at California State University-Sacramento housed in The College of Arts & Letters. & also Artistic Director of the institution’s historic BLACK Theatre organization Sons, Daughters, & Ancestors. If God can do it for ME, God will certainly do it for YOU! I’m a living witness.

Ancestor Martha Graham

“No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a q***r, divine dissastifaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”
-Martha Graham

Wednesday Meditation at The Darius Omar Williams Studio of Acting:

making black history
by marvin k. white

you, you inspire me to
stoplights
and hot combs
and railroad brakes
i think
you just might be the first black
in this american league
you are my invention
and i am putting a patent
on this thing we are doing
i am copyrighting these words
my tongue
pushes into your ear

i want to make some black history
with you
be your harriet tubman
and let you ride
my underground railroad to freedom
let you pass out in my arms exhausted
i want you to lose your scent in my rivers
want to be your safe house
want you to come and wait inside
till slave catchers lose all track of you
i wanna make some black history
with you
be the first man to reach your north pole
