Fannie Lou Hamer (pronounced hay-mer) was one of the unsung pillars of the civil rights movement in the U.S. She was a phenomenal woman—a woman of great determination and great purpose. She was not one to hold back her feelings, especially when fighting for equality.
In 1964 she was elected Vice-Chair of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). Their stated purpose was to challenge Mississippi’s all-white delegation to the Democratic National Conventio

I had to go through and reread the Yaoundé Declaration to determine if some inopportune phrase had slipped in without my knowing.

Dear Friends, Occupy Wall Street and American Corporations and 1%ers:
I just created a petition entitled American Corporations Using Capitalism To Mask Greed: They should voluntarily change their By-Laws to require that 25% of their profits be donated to address social & educational issues.

In her heart she just knew he would change one day.
Him and her played a sport that kept her visiting the Doctor.
Some call it football, but it was clearly socc(h)er.
He was precise with every blow always hitting his goal.
Chipping away at his targets her spirit, body, and soul.
He was nice in the beginning told her stories of being the victim
Said when life had him down people always left or kicked him.
This is when she made the promise that made her pay
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, it is with great pleasure that today I will be bringing to justice a serial killer that we've all come to know and trust named "Common Sense." For years common sense has been unconsciously destroying/killing relationships and marriages. It is common sense that keeps individuals from effectively communicating because they assume that their thoughts are "common," causing them not to explain why they do the things they do, or how they come to the conclusions that

The Valley of the Kings (Arabic: وادي الملوك Wādī al Mulūk), less often called the Valley of the Gates of the Kings (Arabic: وادي ابواب الملوك Wādī Abwāb al Mulūk), is a valley in Egypt where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, tombs were constructed for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).

@ One Child At A Time
In the age of Politically corect you would imagine a child would be one of the most protected of our most vulnerable members of Society.

A Detroit mother’s trust turned into a nightmare that resulted in her son losing his freedom. The case is so egregious that it is the only thing more egregious than the lack of media coverage about the specifics of the case.

It is important to note that Devontae has specia

Kerala is blessed with several wonderments and among the many; the houseboat is one of them. On Kerala tours most of the tourist love to visit the backwaters and there one can spot these wooden made vessels floating over the picturesque backwater.
