Techno was created by a Black American named Juan Atkins from Detroit. Techno was NOT created in Berlin like many seem to think. RIP to this phenomenal Pioneer!
Rest in Peace Juan Atkins “the godfather of techno.” His unconventional sounds became the blueprint for an entire new genre of music, influencing generations of producers, DJs and record labels, like ours.
“I don’t know how you can love music and be close-minded... Life would be boring if you just adhered to the same protocol every day, so there are guys like me out there championing the cause for different and alternative ways of life and listening to music.” Juan Atkins

RIP. Let’s remember that techno was invented in Detroit by black kids, not in Berlin.
Juan Atkins, the Detroit producer and DJ who co-founded techno music, has died

And this is one of the many reasons why there cant be a marvin gaye biopic
When Marvin Gaye married Berry Gordy’s sister Anna in 1963, the couple intended to raise a family. The problem, however, was Anna’s age — she was already in her forties at the time and unable to conceive a child. Gaye did not want to just adopt a kid, it was important for him to feel a biological connection to the child.
So Anna Gordy suggested they get another girl to birth the child for them. She then mentioned she had a fifteen-year-old niece, Denise Gordy. If Marvin impregnates her, the child will have a biological connection to both Anna as well as Marvin. So it was decided — I suppose Denise’s feelings mattered little.
Marvin Gaye and his wife groomed her teenage niece; he impregnated her, and when she was sixteen, she gave birth to his first son, Marvin Gaye III. The couple subsequently legally adopted the child and kept his true parentage from him.
And Marvin Gaye got away with it. He continued to to enjoy his fame for another decade or so until his own father murdered him inside their family home.

THEY PUT A BLACK DOLL IN A COFFIN TO TERROR*ZE A SIX-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHOSE ONLY "CRIME" WAS WALKING INTO A WHITE SCHOOL.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The photo shows a Nov. 23, 1960, mock funeral protest at Louisiana's State Capitol in Baton Rouge for Judge J. Skelly Wright, not an incident at Ruby Bridges' New Orleans school. Bridges has described a similar taunt outside her school.
