#treasure ✨✨✨ This incredible document is a claim

#treasure ✨✨✨ This incredible document is a claim sheet that Charles Mingus made to the Los Angeles AFM in 1941 for a wage dispute for $7.50 against bandleader, Fred Skinner after being fired from an engagement at the Club Capri. Mingus was 19 years old at the time and working in the Los Angeles jazz scene with the likes of Lee Young, whose brother Lester joined the band the following month after this claim was filed.

Today, I celebrate 2 years together with my best friend, confident, mega-babe, in house comedienne, animal whisperer, Olympic level cuddler and love of my life @virgfm. Thank you for making me laugh and smile, feel safe, be inspired and for giving me the same butterfly feelings in my chest every day that you gave me when I first met you. 🩷🤍🩷🤍🩷
