Flamboyant
and Provocative
He described as wildly flamboy­
ant, mostly dressed in drag, and
hellbent on keeping the energy meter
pinging on high all night.
Greedhead artist and New York
rapper Le 1 fwill bring his provocative
rap to Portland to support of his
mixtape Dark York.
Insiders say the production might
sound familiar from the work he did
with Das Racist and Spank Rock,
which the Fader called was one of the
most provocative rap releases so far
this year, and Pitchfork summed up
as a census of right-now sounds.
Le 1 f will perform Thursday, June
14 at the Bunk Bar in the southeast
Industrial District at 1028 S.E. Water.

Members of the Fair Hope Benevolent Society.
Faithful and Faithless Collide
T he C o n trad ictio n s o f F air
Hope is a powerful portrait o f one
of the nation’s last surviving be­
nevolent societies— a self-help
group form ed after Em ancipation
to h e lp freed slaves take care of
the sick, feed the hungry and bury
the dead.
N arrated by W hoopi Goldberg,
the film follows the Fair Hope Be­
nevolent Society in Alabam a dur­
ing its annual anniversary celebra­
tion, which has over the years
been co-opted by a notorious
outdoor festival called the “Foot
W ash.” As the faithful and the
faithless collide, Contradictions
provides an eye-opening exam i­
nation o f black history and cur­
rent culture.
“My grandmother, at 98, is the
oldest surviving member of the Fair
Hope Benevolent Society,” said
Rockell Metcalf, the film’s co-direc-
tor. “It was not until a few years ago
that I actually sat down with her and
had a detailed conversation about
the role that Fair Hope and other
benevolent societies played in help­
ing freed slaves transition from sla­
very to freedom. I thought it was
important to highlight this incred­
ible history and the significant role
that benevolent societies, in gen­
eral, have played in shaping African
American history.”
The Contradictions of Fair Hope
heads to several film festivals across
the country this summer.
