I watched a documentary about Bayard Rustin the other day. I teared up as I watched the determination of Black Americans to fight to be treated as humans, as equals. They walked a year in Mississippi, endured lynchings, beatings, hoses and dogs and they gathered on the mall in Washington to be heard and to be counted.
The ability of Obama to stand strong and dignified...in the face of naysayers and race baiters is a testament to the ability of Black Americans to not only survive but to thrive....Yes We Can! No Excuses.

---Zora Neal Hurston, legendary Harlem Renaissance author
"Instead of keepin' it real, you should try keepin' it right."
---De La Soul, legendary rap artists
"Become the change you wish to see in our world."
---Mahatma Gandi
"There is no program and no policy that can substitute for a parent who is involved in their child's education from Day One. There is no substitute for a parent who will attend those parent-teacher conferences, make sure their children are in school on time and help them with their homework after dinner."
---Sen. Barack Obama
