  1. Hello, many "American Artists" knew if they wanted to make it knew they left America and go to Pais like Mary Cassat and Bessie Coleman there well in Europe the racial tones weren't a thing like it is in the USA, so many did thrive. and set forth many styles of art

  2. As for the first story I was raised not to see the color I see a lot of stupidity though I believe in what my dad said to us kids give credit where credit due and finally whether the world is ready to accept it up the rest, like here with these two and other pioneers that no one knows about or has been overlooked due to either their skin tone or just pain ignorance

  4. We were nearly neighbors it seems. Just a guess, but we must be about the same age, we played the same video games, and I grew up on a ranch not far from Lusk Wyoming, about a hour from Hot Springs SD.

  6. We got one of the first Odyssey video game consoles made when I was a kid, which was built in 1972. Instead of using cartridges, games were held on printed individual circuit boards, and the graphics were just square blocks. Plastic overlays provided the context of whether you were playing a Casino game or duck hunting.

    Those were the days.
