Howard Hughes' Houston
Incidently, the Houston Municipal airport was named for Howard Hughes in the 1930's. However, regulations in the 1930's prohibited the naming of an airport after a living person. Therefore, the name change was reverted. In the 1960s after the death of ex-Texas Governor, William P. Hobby, the city renamed it 'William P. Hobby Airport'.
IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BACK TO 'HOWARD HUGHES AIRPORT'!
Miriam Makeba: R.I.P (1 Afrikaans + 1 Xhosa) [film:Have you seen Drum Lately? Jürgen Schadeberg] 4 Liz Van Den Berg - Capetown
R.I.P
This stunningly-voiced footage features Makeba amongst the intellectuals behind 'Drum' magazine. Here she sings two songs for the small male-dominated crowd: the first has a sad and haunting tone and the next has a livelier feel.
The footage is taken from the iconic film: 'Have you seen Drum Lately?', dubbed one of the most important films to emerge from apartheid South Africa and filmed by the father of South African photography: Jürgen Schadeberg.
