So turns out you can’t take photos of a single swing of golf at Augusta National....or anything else that, umm, one does in Augusta. But I’m pretty sure these pics capture the majesty and decorum of a tradition unlike any other. Thanks a million to those bros who made a bucket list trip possible. #bros #themasters #tigertigerwoodsyall #nipsyrussell #disco

TODAY in Black Film History
THE WIZ
released October 24, 1978 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Director Sidney Lumet’s film adaptation of the Broadway musical is an urbanized twist on Frank Baum's original children's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with a black cast creating new versions of the characters familiar from MGM's Academy Award winning film The Wizard of Oz (1939).
A modern fairytale set in an amalgam of Baum's fictional land and the haunting environment of lower Manhattan, The Wiz stars Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Richard Pryor, Lena Horne, Theresa Merritt and Mabel King with uncredited performances by Patti Austin, Roberta Flack, Luther Vandross and Cissy Houston, among others.
Despite the production’s spectacular visual effects, costumes, music and the wealth of all-star talent recruited to perform, critics panned The Wiz and it proved to be a financial failure. It did, however, garner Oscar nominations in four categories: Best Cinematography, Art Direction/Set Decoration, Costume Design and Best Adaptation Score (by Quincy Jones). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Bad Witch had a humanity that we all could relate to… we’d just never admit it.
