Up In the Attic" is about a group of teenage young men, some of whom were B-Boys and Five Percenters in Hip Hop’s Old School Era. They resided in the suburbs of NYC and hung out in the Attic of one of the guys whose mother worked several jobs and had an idea that her son wasn’t perfect, but at least she knew where he was at. The teens were the most popular brothers in the area. Everyone wanted to get with them and many started doing too much drugs and crime. The lead character started realizing that they were about to graduate from High School and it was time to start getting serious. Then he found out who his real friends were. Some of the young men turned out successful and others weren’t so lucky. “Up in the Attic” also provides sub themes of domestic abuse and messages for teens regarding general respect. It also has its comedic moments. The film is scheduled for completion by summer 2009.....

Kamal Supreme aka Kamal Imani describes the state of emotional post Obama Euphoria that many Black people are in as well as religious emotionalism while constitutional rights are being taken from them right under their noses as well as the continued rise of the prison industrial complex which is locking Black people up. The main concern in this spoken word poetic song is regarding being cautious for Nazi Germany and big brother actions by the U.S government. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqrzr_2EK3g&feature=channel_page

The roots of the peoples plunging the lands that were born. Passing generations and centuries and, despite the movements, changes and evolution of human beings, the roots are still there, clinging to the area that feeds them, allowing them to flourish and bear fruit continuously ...
There, there, grow their cultures, molded and shaped by external conditions, which must know and adapt if they are to survive. These cultures create words to describe every detail of their environment; invented spirits that inhabit their valleys or forests, bays and salt; draw roads and trails in your geography, use their plants and animals to feed, to heal, to make their build their homes and everyday artifacts ... Every culture, therefore, is unique in itself, and expressed in unique, small or large, that he held or occupied, the one that draws, that in going their human roots, which are not but feel, especially when it started ...
A people that loses its culture loses its identity, that these traits make him who he is and distinguish it from the other. Loses its history, the experiences of life and lives, learning from successes and mistakes, little things that make everyday existence ... Man Loses the past and their present, and at the same time, it loses the ability to dream, imagine and plan their future ... One Village
without culture, without losing its identity, however, and falls into a limbo from which it is difficult to escape.
The peoples of Latin America have felt over the loss of his own blood and his own memory. Genocide, discrimination, slavery, exclusion, neglect, pressure acculturated, forced deportations, all displayed in those historical stories that gave voice to the silenced. Many of them disappeared for ever, and are but a shadow in the memories and artifacts in museums. Others survived physically, but not bore the brunt and had to forget who they were to continue on their way in a society that systematically denied the right to be themselves. The lucky ones-the-less continued to live as if nothing had happened. And others were adapted, preserving its culture where nobody could touch it and live according to the new rules, taking the best of the new model and avoiding, if possible, was the worst. To do this, sometimes fought and resisted using the same weapons of dominoes (which was not always overseas), and other streets and tried to go unnoticed.
Was as it were, everyone lost something: their land, their language, their history, their customs, their food, their music, their dances, their wisdom, their future ... In a way, however, got some elements that allowed them to walk ie, constructing, maintaining and strengthening a new path for the free expression of their way of being, without barriers or boundaries.
Today, the indigenous issue is still there, we also present, with his wounds open or closed, with its thousand facets and possible approaches, with hundreds of diverse opinions, with their pride or their movements and silences ... Maybe not it's time to remember past shameful, humiliating and painful for everyone, but this new building, in which we can live side by side, learning from each other, and seeking solutions to problems and enjoying success in the form together. Failure to remember, it does not necessarily mean forgetting, because only (re) knowing the history of those before us, we can continue to develop our own.
Libraries and books have not been foreign to the native peoples of Latin America. One way or another, all had means of encoding and preserve their knowledge, even if they were radically different from Western models, often considered "the best." Orality, the "living books", the khipus, the layers of wood
fiber of Agave painted, carved stones, the structure of many tissues ... They were an effort to save from oblivion the memory and allow the most valuable information could transcend life and be useful to future generations. The goal chased libraries, where there was. Both ways were successful, each in its measure.
At present, in the context of an "information society" populated by increasing divide, the library and the knowledge acquired a special value: the power that contains all of the strategic information. The power to change, resolve, develop, and also to prevent further falls. The value of these tools in indigenous societies is very high: it means not only to recover, preserve and revitalize their own cultural heritage, but also teach the rest of society, and learn from it. Means the possibility of a dialogue between equals.
Unfortunately, a high percentage of indigenous population of the continent remains "on the other side of the barrier informative and educational. Are not alone: many other sectors are at a disadvantage in this regard. But in the case of aboriginal peoples, the barrier is twofold: first, discrimination, exclusion and neglect does not allow fair access to property (in) training available today, on the other, and the same reasons, their culture is still neglected, and their identities denied
Denying the right for blacks and Latinos.
