Today is a special day of reflection and renewal as we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight for civil rights. While it is discouraging to recall the hate, bigotry and injustice that are inextricably tied to the civil rights movement, it also makes me hopeful. It gives me a sense of optimism […]
<p>January 15 is the birthday of the Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and was declared a holiday in 1983. However, it was first observed in 1986 — despite the president’s saying it would cause a financial burden and a senator’s linking King to communism. A popular musician spurred a campaign for the holiday, and […]

Wow, I just read Kelis’ open letter to PETA and to be honest, its such BS I don’t even know where to start so let’s break it down one ignorant sentence at a time. She seems to like the word ‘rodent’- personally I have no issues with those little critters but if there’s a dirty pest here, it’s […]

Again I could use this Boss of mine at the real estate company I said […]
Over the last two years I’ve spent a lot of time thinking or talking or writing about the role of young people in the age of Obama. Eager to change our country- that’s the mark of today’s youth, right? Incidences like what happened to Derrion Albert almost make me question if I’m just projecting what […]
