You didn't know me when you were here,
But through your words I feel you are near.
I was too young for the demonstration,
But I learned about you in my education.
You said we all were created equal,
But maybe now we need a new sequel.
Because I don't know what happened to the dream,
Nor the members of your team.
Yeah, Andy's made a name,
Jesse got some fame.
But what happened to the vision?
Seems it's been lost to indecisio
“Instead of Waiting On The World To Change just open your eyes and see the truth"
Educate yourselves about what is really going on, and avoid the trap that so many have fallen so deeply into.
During the 1960’s Black revolutionaries such as Malcolm X and Stokley Carmichael were most often revered as heroes of the black community.

Americas’ response to the senseless violence that claimed the lives of 6 and injured another 14 in Arizona once again demonstrates the power of hope over despair, peace over violence, and love over hate. These tragedies coming on the heels of our celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. also reminds us of his dream for a better America. Martin Luther King’s August 28, 1963 speech “I have a Dream” galvanized the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans regardless o

I ALONG WITH EMANUEL ANGARICA AND LEE GREEN AGREE WITH THE DEFINITION OF A REAL BUSINESS DEFINITION
A real business to me is a system that continually generates revenue whether your there or not. Also a system of generating revenue through a product or service that can be successfully duplicated (think franchise). :)

From Savagery to Civility
From Savagery to Civility
Unity, Criticism, Unity! We must be able to criticize each other constructively, to engage in debate and dialogue. This is how civilize people conduct their affairs. Now savages want to kill, no debate, no dialogue, no comment. Man, I wanna smoke dat nigguh!

I think the sooner African leaders come to understand this, the better off the continent will be. Everytime I meet with African leaders, they always complain about how Africa is portrayed in the U.S. media. But yet, they never seem to understand the need to have
The political economics of Dr. King’s legacy
Practical Politics
The Martin Luther King holiday is 25 years old this month. Not bad for a true product of American democracy at its ugliest and its best.
Remembering the loud, raucous, and sometimes racially vicious political war fought to get the holiday established, one is doubly honored to watch one of Dr. King’s movement progeny work his POTUS magic through a relentlessly dangerous minefield of negativity.
I honestly don’t know what to say. The unity we exhibited in the effort to free Jamie and Gladys Scott seems a mere fragment of imagination. They are FREE, but the war is far from won. The terms of their release are unethical and the financial burden they face is enormous. ...
