THE NEGRO SPEAKS OF RIVERS
I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young. I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep. I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset.
I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky, rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

a dream for our children
a dream is the gift of reading because reading enables a child to dream of all the things they might become from a sorcerer to president to astronaut reading encourages the dream
a blogger's work

urban legend
those who would call themselves "artists" should beware that those who consume the greatest amount of our culture are whites and other non black cultures the "art" you put out there should not consist of hatred for sisters, brothers or others, for "art" that hates or portrays negative images solely for the purpose of a dollar is not art at all beware of those who consume your "art" urban "culture" becomes urban legend becomes urban truth becomes urban fact and is not so easily erased at all me

BLACK FACTS
Today is the 6th anniversary of 9/11 Did you know that the total number of people killed during the attack was 2,819.
Estimated amount donated to 9/11 charities: $1.4 billion Estimated amount of money raised for funds dedicated to NYPD and FDNY families: $500 million
Between 1441 and 1888, Europeans and their descendants in the Americas enslaved many millions of Africans. Torn from their homeland, men, women, and children were shipped to the Americas and forced into slavery.
Slave traders actively encouraged wars in Africa, resulting in the death or enslavement of millions more Africans on that continent than ended up in the Americas. Scholars of African history believe the total number of Africans killed or abducted in Africa and the Americas could be between 50 and 100 million. Whatever the figure, the slave trade brought death and dislocation on an unimaginable scale. Its full impact will never be fully known.
There have never been any reparations paid to the decedents of slaves in this country.
