By now, most people know that the version of the Pocahontas story that was presented in the 1995 #Disney film is mostly fiction. But the story behind the composition of the film’s most famous song is not as well known. It was important to lyricist Stephen Schwartz to pay homage to the history and legacy of the Powhatan people on which the film is based, but in true American fashion, the source material he drew from as the inspiration for the song’s brilliant lyrics paints a through line to America’s long history of exploitation and misrepresentation of Native stories and voices. #pocahontas #stephenschwartz #disneyrenaissance #disneyprincess #powhatan #indigenousculture #colorsofthewind #disneysongs #alanmenken #waltdisney

I did a radio show last week for KJLH called, “The Politics of White Grievance.” I talked about the movement that’s propelling Trump’s popularity right now. A lot of people may wonder how the “Boomer” generation is leading the charge to elect someone whose politics run completely counter to the ideals of the hippies. Are these the same people that “made love not war?“ Not exactly. Look for the link to the show in my bio. Listen Sunday nights at seven and again Monday mornings at 5:30 Pacific on the KJLH app. Or listen online anytime. #boomers #hippies #haightashbury
Pregnant Black women are dying at an astronomically high rate, and the alarming number of abortion bans we're seeing instated at the state level will only drive those numbers up. @Planned Parenthood Action
