From 1865 up to present day, the struggle for civil rights has been at the forefront of African-Americans' plight for equality and living out God-given liberties. "No justice! No peace!" has been the rallying cry of the on-going campaign for justice. Many notable organizations have fell dutifully in-step, bravely trailblazing through precarious territory to ensure Africans Americans are no longer the "invisible man" and have full access to their civil liberties. These organizations, some of which are the NAACP, SCLC, CORE, NAN, PUSH, The Black Panther Party, and Nation of Islam, are to be

 

As 2010 arrived I prepared for it with excitement seeing this new decade as an opportunity to achieve new goals and establish new commitments to myself. I also had the belief that I was not alone and many others shared this New Year excitement, and would be hitting the internet like an explosion marketing their products, businesses and services with a vigor unseen. I braced myself for an email explosion and great competition in the market place but as the first of January rolled in, then the second and third day, things have been relatively quiet. I began to wonder had internet

There's a sister in the White House!

braiding her daughters hair sitting on the kitchen floor betwixt her long brown legs

cooking chicken flipped and turned in a bowl of white flour

frying hot water cornbread with water from the White House kitchen tap

that satisfying scent she got from her black mamma in the hood

and smellin' the White House up with sweet potatoes, peach cobbler, black eyed peas, and collard greens on the stove

insisting her children make up their own beds

Whose youth are hopeful and now don't have so

Ripping in the Village Street

Chasing gray haired women

Running in flocks after someone to beat

Young urban girls and young urban boys

Killing, maimed, and broken

Playing with guns like they are toys

 

Taken into Egypt again long ago

Brought into this North Country by ship

Chained, shackled, whipped, mamas couldn't see them grow

Stolen from the Ivory Coast

Sold for bondmen and bondwomen

Welcomed by an unsavory host

 

Urban youth hidden in prison houses

Standing at the heads of the street

On this corner and that

Filled with iniquity

Loved waxed colder

I Know Why Barack Obama Is President

Never Underestimate The Power Of Hope
From the start, the odds were against him. A virtual unknown. An inexperienced Senator from Illinois. A half black man rumored to be a Muslim. A Christian under the leadership of a black, radical Pastor. A man in America with a very Muslim, foreign sounding name. An American? Indonesian? Kenyan? What's on the birth certificate? Although viewed with some skepticism, he was followed with intrigue.

When Barack H. Obama threw his name into the political ring to compete for the Presidency of the United States, very few took
