Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. improvised the most iconic part of his “I Have a Dream Speech.”

On Wednesday, August 28, 1963, 250,000 Americans united at the Lincoln Memorial for the final speech of the March on Washington. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood at the podium, he eventually pushed his notes aside. The night before the march, Dr. King began working on his speech with a small group of advisers in the lobby of the Willard Hotel. The original speech was more political and less historic, according to Clarence B. Jones, and it did not include any reference to dreams. After delivering the now famous line, “we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream,” Dr. King transformed his speech into a sermon. On stage near Dr. King, singer Mahalia Jackson reportedly kept saying, “Tell ‘em about the dream, Martin,” and while no one will know if he heard her, it could likely have been the inspiration he needed. Dr. King then continued, “Even though we face the difficulties of today and  ...

Montford Point Marines (1942-1949)

The first African American U.S. Marines were trained at Camp Montford Point, in Jacksonville, North Carolina.  African Americans, from all states, were not sent to the traditional boot camps of Parris Island, South Carolina or San Diego, California. Instead, African American Marines were segregated - experiencing basic training at Montford Point - a facility at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Approximately twenty thousand (20,000) African American Marines received basic training at Montford Point between 1942 and 1949. On June 25, 1941,  President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802, which barred government agencies and federal contractors from refusing employment in industries engaged in defense production on the basis of race, creed, color, or national origin. The order required the armed services, including the Marine Corps, to recruit and enlist African Americans. With the beginning of World War II African Americans would get their chance to serve in the previou...

Shunned AmEricans

So-called African Americans have become “shunned Americans” on our own homeland, despite the fact that America is our habitat.  Extreme and vicious measures have been taken to eliminate us in systematic acts of genocide based primarily on slander, error, and Hollywood misconceptions. It has not been an easy task to re-establish ourselves as the first people of America, because television, falsified   his -story, buried documentation, and the public fool/school system has made lying, supplanting, usurpers appear to be valid truth tellers and the discredited, but actual, claim holders appear to be lying identity thieves. Burying this truth appears to be a perpetually ongoing effort.   Even so, although it is not well known, the fact that so-called Black people were here first, is a thoroughly documented and well established fact, nonetheless. The Americas were full of melanin rich, copper colored, chocolate brown people, of the Negroid phenotype, when the first C...

EboLIE.!!!

EboLIE.!!! That disease was made to kill some Africans/African Americans off yes, mainly Africans, but it is not meant to wipe us out and kill us off completely . They developed other methods that do this. Ebola is only one of many. Ps They do want to develop a much stronger virus to do so. But it is down the line in there agenda. In my opinion Colloidal Silver is the answer to curing the body of "any and all illnesses."

The Release Of Two African-American Men

       "The release of two African-American men from prison in North Carolina after 30 years of incarceration for a murder they didn’t commit is yet another example of the American justice system’s racist targeting of African-Americans as the supposed primary criminal class in the country.        Between this outrageous case, the recent police broad daylight execution of Mike Brown, and the choke hold killing of Eric Garner, we must ask: isn’t it time we launch a movement to defeat the raci st law enforcement and criminal justice system’s systematic war on Black-America?        Why do we still pretend as if these are random isolated unconnected occurrences? This week’s news of the release of Henry Lee McCollum and Leon Brown after 30 years in jail for the 1983 rape and murder of an 11 year-old girl, represent another case of the gross miscarriage of justice."

Black power is in your pocket...

Martin Luther King’s said in his mission statement for ‘Operation Breadbasket’: “Negroes need not patronize a business which denies them jobs, advancement [or] plain courtesy’’. He also advised African-Americans to support their own businesses. That they’d failed to take heed of this advice is now devastatingly apparent from New York to New Orleans and from Califo rnia to Chicago. The ‘Negro’ had dropped the collective ball in pursuit of individual goals. They had failed to realize that the most important battle against white supremacy is economic. Indeed, everything the Devil has done has been for monetary reasons…every African enslaved; every Native-American scalped; every foreign land stolen; every foodstuff poisoned; every tree felled; every school closed; every prison built; every bomb dropped; every oil well drained; every human killed; every animal slaughtered; every politician bought…the list goes on and on. ‘Money is the root of all evil’. And money best represents ...
