The winner of the contest was given a cake and hence the name. In certain instances, the dance was also performed during the auctions of the slave-people where it was used to indicate their ‘value’ to the bidders. The word alludes to some of the darkest times for African-American communities... The word has survived in our dictionaries and it is high time that we eliminate it altogether.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://aninjusticemag.com/7-racist-slurs-which-you-should-drop-from-your-vocabulary-885c56ba97ae" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Quoted from an article in An Injustice magazine</span></a>.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The cakewalk was a pre-Civil War dance originally performed by slaves on plantation grounds. The uniquely American dance was first known as the "prize walk"; the prize was an elaborately decorated cake. Hence, "prize walk" is the original source for the phrases "takes the cake" and "cakewalk."</span></div><div><a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/12/23/256566647/the-extraordinary-story-of-why-a-cakewalk-wasnt-always-easy#:~:text=The%20cakewalk%20was%20a%20pre,cake%22%20and%20%22cakewalk.%22" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">From an additional reference.</span></a><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></div></div>Dickens PAChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05671631274558718152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202451928930772719.post-9842778536792331382023-04-19T02:59:00.005-07:002023-05-31T03:06:26.117-07:00SPRING FLING 2023 :: Thursday, May 25 from 4-8pm<p> We look forward to having you join us for this celebratory event!</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNfKilTFq-iQNFWy1mCOyPDmihM3-Brs6AR7HhyPgZNs4ri6bs8Zg1EHVcToFGUFO3qSV3QgCLv4vQRKxlzbphzSOdjyXVIK368NrLMT_Nv1vIJs7JC6Nn9OHGNOY5YHvGSckgmpTiC_t-DWhSABkUdGwE2Ji3xmEhuDdy_ESFgZP1hU7A05PuVbmgRg/s3300/Classic%20Small%20SF23_8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3300" data-original-width="2550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNfKilTFq-iQNFWy1mCOyPDmihM3-Brs6AR7HhyPgZNs4ri6bs8Zg1EHVcToFGUFO3qSV3QgCLv4vQRKxlzbphzSOdjyXVIK368NrLMT_Nv1vIJs7JC6Nn9OHGNOY5YHvGSckgmpTiC_t-DWhSABkUdGwE2Ji3xmEhuDdy_ESFgZP1hU7A05PuVbmgRg/s16000/Classic%20Small%20SF23_8.jpg" /></a></p><br /><p></p>Dickens PAChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05671631274558718152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202451928930772719.post-41594788541633281762023-03-22T11:40:00.018-07:002023-04-01T22:14:12.359-07:00April 2023 - Urban Roots PAC Fundraiser <p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxcO7EVMnHZBwPH8DG5Ki5JFZokxgLnfshV-QttknoORmoMkics5IDZO2o4m-hnWBSa2YGIFEYBiGnkeyq98rD1A5eakx-81tWrMFJjyCalnZg-hru5Iz6zEQUQW72CQ6oEYqWR4YDFzaunqHXPQUH1lsHleJIfvw1A210GEAOPr8bfqSycVnwg8rhg/s634/URBAN%20ROOTS.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="537" data-original-width="634" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxcO7EVMnHZBwPH8DG5Ki5JFZokxgLnfshV-QttknoORmoMkics5IDZO2o4m-hnWBSa2YGIFEYBiGnkeyq98rD1A5eakx-81tWrMFJjyCalnZg-hru5Iz6zEQUQW72CQ6oEYqWR4YDFzaunqHXPQUH1lsHleJIfvw1A210GEAOPr8bfqSycVnwg8rhg/w259-h219/URBAN%20ROOTS.jpg" width="259" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Mark your calendars for April!
