"The Children of Selma"

A picture of my wife hangs in the "National Voting Rights Museum" in Selma, Alabama. That's her on the left at 11 years old with her friends after their first trip to jail on "Bloody Sunday" 1965. These children were traumatized for the right to vote. You can see it in their eyes. - Michael Foote Sept. 12, 2016

Colored roses ...

Dr. George Washington Carver was one of the first to experiment extensively with plants.
As petals get their nourishment through stem, the idea is to split the stem into several channels and dip each one in a different colored water. This way all the colors will be drawn by the stem into petals and resultant rose will have all the colors in it. The same method can be applied to other flowers especially to Chrysanthemum and Hydrangea. You can use the same idea to color any flower, anyway you like. - Pk Smith (Sept. 13, 2016) ‎

Timeline of Africans in the Americas.

Sad. Here we are in the States enamored by British royalty and influenced by British law as if the two are not intertwined. We live in an illusion believing there are separations, and differences between British and white American sensibilities today.

The spirit has to change to change the Euro-American. Blacks throughout the African Diaspora need to delve deep into the who of who we are as the cloaks upon our body of thought is shed that dominates our thought processes. . .

In short, we need to no longer be Black White people. . . - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.13.16
