In 1966 Charles had spent a year on parole
after a heroin bust but was now riding the crest
of a series of hits from the writing team of
Ashford and Simpson, and the R and B hit
“Let’s Go get Stoned.”—- perhaps not the
best song while on parole?

Emma Azalia
Hackley (1867-1922) was an African-
American woman, who, during a time of
cultural ``little dark age’’ sought to bring a
renaissance of culture and education to former
slaves and their children. Born in Tennessee
and raised in Detroit, Hackley took pains to
educate African-Americans in classical culture,
in order to uplift them, especially the poor, in
both the North and post-Reconstruction South.
