Remembering Great Kings & Queens Of Africa
Politics of marketing liquor to the Black community aside.....
I always wondered what happened to this Budweiser advertising campaign! I'm so happy to see them online! Great African Kings & Queens
Does anyone else remember postering their "gathering space" or "rec room" with these posters? I remember: blue lights, Parlimant Funkadelic, Earth Wind & Fire, The Ohio Players, "getting down just for the funk of it," and wondering if the Mothership had had landed in Africa and George Clinton was a modern day prophet.
All I know, is my folks had to serve a lot of Budweiser at their parties so we could have them.

I just happened to click on your blogspot link via the Unschooling Yahoo group. I was curious because I did not know we had anyone from Europe in the group. Anyway, your last blog post (Budweiser)...I sent that link via the site. Glad to see that it sparked someone's memory.

I tried to click on the link posted on your page but it was not found after I activated it. I saw an ad in Ebony magazine about the Budweiser campaign. At first sight, it bothered me...I decided to wait until I can access a computer to conduct further research on it.
Do you have the web address in order that I may find out more info about this campaign?

This is the only info I can find about them online. Anyone with a complete set in good condition is probably sitting on a gold mine. Like so many "free giveaways," these weren't valued...they were pitched a long time ago when my mother reclaimed and redecorated the rec room after we went to college.
