“I was like making sandwiches and I was watching her like,” Tasia Smith said of the scene Thursday that brought her to tears.
She works at the Subway inside the Burton Walmart on Court Street.
That’s where she captured a photo, which has since gone viral, of Walmart cashier Ebony Harris skipping her break to paint customer Angela Peters’ nails.
“I just wanted to post it for awareness and appreciation, because people needed to know what was going on with the business and Ebony deserved all the appreciation she could get,” Tasia said.
Harris said she watched the nail salon, located just a few feet over, refuse to do Peters’ nails because her hands shake quite a bit due to cerebral palsy. So, she decided to do something about it.
On this day in music history: April 9, 1939 – Opera contralto Marian Anderson performs on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. The famed opera singer is barred from performing a concert at Constitution Hall, owned by the Daughters Of The American Revolution (D.A.R.) because she is black. As a result of the furor this creates, thousands of D.A.R. members including First Lady Of The United States Eleanor Roosevelt resign from the organization in protest. Mrs. Roosevelt and Secretary Of The Interior Harold L. Ickes intervenes on Ms. Anderson’s behalf, arranging for her perform at the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall on Easter Sunday. Accompanied by pianist Kosti Vehanen, Anderson sings before an integrated audience of over 75,000 people at the memorial, with the concert also being broadcast live on radio across the United States to an audience of millions. The concert is regarded as an important event in American history in the fight against racial prejudice and discrimination. The event is captured on film for the documentary film “Marian Anderson: The Lincoln Memorial Concert”. In 2001, the film is selected for preservation by the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, for its ongoing cultural and historic significance.
The original character designs for Disney’s Rapunzel Unbraided by Jin Kim (Part 8).
The idea for Tangled (Rapunzel Unbraided) was originally the concept for Disney’s Enchanted, a live-action film that light-heatedly mocked the princess film archetypes. The main male lead was even modeled after Jack Black.
However, Enchanted became separate from Rapunzel and instead took ideas from previous films like Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty.
Rapunzel was then put back into development and turned into a traditional (albeit 3D) Feature Length film.
@trashfirefallon fat Disney Prince was planned and then…both movies changed a lot.
