Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s day is coming soon


Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday is on the same day as mine. Maybe that’s a coincidence. One thing I do know is that King proved you could be both non-violent and a non-coward. His people stood up to water cannons, attack dogs and club wielding cops. But they marched for civil-rights and won. They didn’t end racism in Amerikkka, but hey did bring about the voting rights act. Others, such as Malcolm X and the Black Panthers also did their part to promote the rights of Afro-Americans. But many people agree it started with M.L. King. Stokely Carmichael, who changed his name to Kwame Ture, was inspired by King and went on to join the Black Panthers. On 16th June, he made his famous Black Power speech. Carmichael called for "black people in this country to unite, to recognize their heritage, and to build a sense of community". He also advocated that African Americans should form and lead their own organizations and urged a complete rejection of the values of American society.

Hi there would you mind letting me know which webhost you're working with? I've loaded your
blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a honest price?
Thanks, I appreciate it!

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see
if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so
she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she
has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but
I had to share it with someone!

I constantly spent my half an hour to read this web site's articles or reviews everyday along with a cup of coffee.

First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick
question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thanks!

Admiring the time and effort you put into your blog and detailed information you

unwanted rehashed information. Excellent read! I've saved your site and I'm adding your RSS feeds to my Google
