Some of us never really got to experience an authentic down home southern Black family reunion. That’s not really something I saw as a child New York. The closest to it would be children’s birthday parties, quinceaneras, and block parties. Close but there’s a difference in the atmosphere. I grew up watching movies and tv shows that depicted the Black family reunion. There were Soul Train lines; kids chasing each other; dominoes slammed and spade books called; the sounds of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Earth Wind And Fire, Kool & The Gang, The Isley’s, Commodores, Al Green and so many more bringing generations together.
