In a world where access is everything, it's worth remembering that there was a time when opportunity was limited. A time when the only way to build your own table was by building it yourself. That's the story of Safe Bus Company, a Black-owned busing company founded in 1926 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Operating from 1926 to 1972, they represented resilience and ownership in the face of exclusion.
That's also the story JRich Ent is telling with their project MCMXXVI (1926). A storytelling project inspired by the legacy of Safe Bus Company that goes beyond music and fashion. It's about transforming history into a full experience.
You might be wondering why we're talking about this now, right? Well, JRich Ent is collaborating with designer Jordan Daniels to create new merch, music, and experiences on their project MCMXXVI (1926). And they're not just telling the story, they're living it. They're embodying the spirit of Safe Bus Company by building their own table when a seat wasn't offered.
It's a powerful message that deserves to be remembered. It's a story of resilience and ownership in the face of exclusion. And it's a story that JRich Ent is telling in a way that goes beyond music and fashion. They're transforming history into a full experience.
So what does this mean for us? Well, it means we need to remember our history. We need to remember that there was a time when access was limited and the only way to build your own table was by building it yourself. And we need to remember that there are still people out there who are building their own tables when a seat isn't offered.
It means we need to support projects like MCMXXVI (1926) that tell stories like this one. It means we need to support artists and entrepreneurs who are creating new merch, music, and experiences on their projects. And it means we need to support the spirit of Safe Bus Company by building our own tables when a seat isn't offered.
So let's remember our history. Let's support projects like MCMXXVI (1926). And let's build our own tables when a seat isn't offered. Because that's the only way to ensure that we're not just surviving, but thriving.
That's all for now. Until next time, remember: Keep building your own table.
