How many times have we mouthed the lyrics to “We Shall Not Be Moved,” “Oh Freedom” and “We Shall Overcome” without really thinking about the meaning of the words – let alone actually imagining or recalling what it was like to sing them while in the trenches? http://www.blackamericaweb.com/?q=blog_inner/33742/1573138/The Fly Jock
A couple of weeks ago, I went to see the Broadway play “Mountain Top” in New York, and loved it. It wasn’t what I expected at all because it depicted a side of Dr. King rarely seen or discussed. http://www.blackamericaweb.com/?q=blog_inner/33502/1573138/The Fly Jock
http://www.blackamericaweb.com/?q=blog_inner/31846/6546626/Nikki_Woods “You teach people how to treat you.” The first time I ever heard this concept was on an “Oprah Winfrey Show” episode some years ago.

When I enter a partnership, I don’t take it lightly. Whether it’s love, a spades game or a business deal, some of the basic rules apply.

Thanks to Tom and “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” I have been blessed to travel the world, meet several U.S. presidents, an African president and a king – and see the best that this world, especially this country, has to offer. Now, the flip side of that is visiting New York City’s Ground Zero one […]
“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, and make allowing for their doubting, too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or […]
I’m no doctor, but as a DJ on a show that reaches a mainly African-American audience of more than 8 million nationwide, I can’t ignore the health crisis in this country – and specifically in the black community. When we kicked off “Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day” 10 years ago, we were […]
