Since the first African slaves arrived on the shores of America, Black empowerment has always depended on the strength of Black Americans to succeed despite the obstacles they were forced to overcome.
When many Black politicians gained political power during Reconstruction, organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan emerged to thwart any dreams of Black empowerment that the recently freed slaves envisioned. And when towns such as a Tulsa, Oklahoma developed a strong Black economy through their own ...

Today, after working to block automatic Congressional pay raises in the past, Rep. Bill Foster (IL-14) announced his support for bipartisan legislation that would block the next automatic pay raise for Members of Congress.'With unemployment numbers hovering around 10 percent in the 14th District, and with families losing their homes and their health insurance far too often, Congress cannot in good conscience give itself a raise,' said Foster. 'I was pleased to see that by working together with ...

Close Your Nose And Open Your Mouth : Sit up, bend your head forward slightly, and pinch the soft part of the nose below the bony bridge, recommends Moore. At the same time, keep your mouth open to help you breathe. Having your head tilted forward keeps blood from going down the back of the throat, which can cause you to cough, choke, or spit up blood. "Only a slight tilt of the head is enough, because otherwise you're causing too much pressure in the head and nose," says Zeb Koran, R.N., ...

The Vietnam War was started in 1959 in an attempt to stop the spread of communism to neighboring countries. The country had split at the 17th parallel in 1954 when the French had attempted to takeover the country but was defeated at Dien Bien Phu. The split wasn't supposed to last, but an election was never held to reunite the North and South. The ruler in the North, Ho Chi Minh, did not agree with the anti-communist government in the South and started to support southern groups who rebelled ...

1. The Love GuvAfter telling his staff he was hiking the Appalachian Trail for four days in June, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford turned up instead at the international airport terminal in Atlanta. Thus sprung, he held a very raw and rambling press conference, admitting he'd actually been in Argentina with his mistress and "soul mate." Seven weeks and several more excruciating media appearances later ("I'm trying to fall back in love with my wife"), his wife and four sons moved out of the ...

Richmond is built upon an area originally used by the native Powhattan tribe and they built their own capitol here, also known as Powhattan. The English arrived and established Jamestown close to the area but the land upon which Richmond is built always held an attraction - it was the highest navigable point upriver before the rapids prevented navigation and was a strategic point for both defense and trade.
Enter William Byrd I, an Englishman from Shadwell in the darkest depths of East London ...

I think it's safe to say that the majority of you readers, and in fact the majority of the planetary population, held high hopes for the new United States President, Barack Obama. He championed change and promised to restore respect to international affairs. Perhaps his hand to shape insurance reform to benefit big insurance companies is awakening more of you, (like it is me), to the Obama deception which has occurred.
(You can see for yourself at

With the economic downturn that began in the late 1960's and early 70's having now caught up with working people around the globe, we can feel the bad times more than our parents did. In Europe and North America, wealth was spread spuriously to keep working people fooled into contentment with an economic abundance. This was fueled by post WWII reconstruction. It came to a halt in the 1960's, sparking that the wealthiest of the rich and their henchmen would re-double efforts to safeguard ...

Did the global crisis in the world financial markets come as a shock? Some believe it was something Wall Street and the White House could see coming. There is plenty of evidence out there to indicate it was all a perfect money making scheme for the guys at the top of the economy, leaving you and me to get the short end of the stick. In 1993, the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Housing Act entered into effect in the United States. This Act mandates that two government ...
