Is that background from the tv show Good Times?
Don't think so, but I think I saw another meme earlier, where they got a picture of the characters from that show and edited her head onto all of them lmao

It is from Good Times. I looked it up. I knew I recognized it. I used to watch the show when I was a kid.

Sugar Shack, used to sell and frame that print when I managed the framing shop. Painted in 1971, predated Good Times by a few years ... but hey, they all look the same, I've been told.

I have always liked that painting but never thought to look into its history. It was painted by Ernie Barnes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Barnes
Quote:Barnes created the painting Sugar Shack in the early 1970s. It gained international exposure when it was used on the Good Times television series and on the 1976 Marvin Gaye album I Want You.
and another interesting fact
Quote:Also, please note that the version displayed on Marvin Gaye’s album cover, and the version of “Sugar Shack” being sold today is actually not the original version of the painting. This version of “Sugar Shack” was painted in 1976 specifically for Marvin Gaye’s album. Ernie Barnes changed the painting by adding banners that promoted Marvin Gaye’s singles from the album. On the original version of the painting, Barnes included his hometown Durham, North Carolina’s radio station WSRC on a banner.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the subject of the thread. Sorry for the derail.

Last night, one of Dolezal’s former students at Eastern Washington University told Buzzfeed that Dolezal had refused to let her participate in an class exercise because she “didn’t look Hispanic” enough. ...
