My job sent us to work with another non-profit that was doing a day of service cutting down parasitic trees in the state park.<br /><br />The problem for me was that the parish that we were doing the work in is currently being sued for making up a law that would effectively prevent Black people from living there. This is also a parish where Black people avidly avoid driving through.<br /><br />I find that these times that we're supposed to be honoring people who fought for Black people's rights tend to get turned into days were we talk about nice things, and do things that make everyone feel good about themselves, even though the message is completely lost.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900001987304119245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-17448170376952569802010-02-17T16:45:49.018-06:002010-02-17T16:45:49.018-06:00It's good you're giving them that foundati...It's good you're giving them that foundation.

Last year the were able to take part in an African American Academis Challenge. I met a man there that told them about 14 black men who were Presidents before George Washington. No one could believe until I made them research it. They found information that tied into what the gentle man had told them. I have a few books that have waaaay more than MLK, Malcolm and Rosa Parks, not to mention the other stories about them.<br /><br />Tiffany<br />http://liferequiresmorechocolate.blogspot.com/Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095653554788017373noreply@blogger.com
