John Lewis of Georgia has no animosity against Whites when he speaks about the Civil Rights Movement and his skull fractured at the evil hands of White policemen.  And like the “Jews” who say “Never Again” about their Holocaust, desc

AK-Rockefeller-300x196.jpgIt is now 2015 and we begin the new year by continuing our decades old struggle for freedom and independence from Indonesia.

Fifty odd years later I find myself living a world away in Washington, D.C., seat of power of the influential United States Goverment. Since I arrived in what Americans call “Our Nation’s Capitol”, I feel f

 First, congratulations to the New England Patriots – Super Bowl XLIX Champions. What a win! I’m thrilled for my home team, for Boston and for the state of Massachusetts.   I’ve been following the Patriots and the numerous stories leading up to the Super Bowl, but not for the reasons you may think.
