There are miracles in how and what black people create. These miracles are big and small. Little Richard proved this. Born in the South in 1932, stopped in church from singing as a kid for his high, boisterous vocals, beating on tin cans on his front porch to make music, wanting to play the piano like Ike Turner. His music achievements are vast from “Tutti Frutti” to “Good Golly Miss Molly”, the father of rock n roll, and more. Of all his contributions to the world, one of the most important is how proved that black men can be so much more than heteronormative throughout their life in his style, stage presence, and charisma. Little Richard sang, danced and played in all his complexity as a sexually fluid and religious man, so we could live out our best lives today. #LittleRichard #RIP #RestInPower
