FREE AT AT LAST!, FREE AT LAST!
SOME PEOPLE WILL SLEEP ALL DAY. OTHERS WILL BAR B Q AND HAVE BIG FEASTS. WHY IS IT THAT WE ONLY GET ONE MONTH, BETTER YET ONE DAY OUT OF THE 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR TO CELEBRATE WHAT WAS INITIALLY OURS? I AM SPEAKING OF FREEDOM AND EQUILITY. MLK WAS A GREAT LEADER WHO FOUGHT FOR WHAT WAS RIGHTFULLY HIS. WHO GAVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY WHAT GOD GAVE US? NOW THAT WE PARTIALLY HAVE EQUILITY WE SHOULD RECOGNIZE OUR RIGHTS TO GO TO THE SCHOOLS OF OUR CHOICE AND BE WHATEVER WE WANT TO BE. THE FIGHT DID NOT END WITH THE DEATH OF MLK. HE DID WHAT HE COULD TO HELP US THROUGH THIS TEDIOUS JOURNEY AND NOW IT IS UP TO US TO CONTINUE THE PROGRESS OF THE STRUGGLE. WE ALL NEED TO EXERCISE OUR RIGHTS THAT OUR ANCESTORS AND GREAT LEADERS HAVE FOUGHT FOR. AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT WE DON'T CELEBRATE OUR HISTORY IN FEBRUARY WE CELEBRATE IT ALL YEAR LONG. WE TRY TO INSTILL INTO OUR STUDENTS THAT WE ARE IMPORTANT PEOPLE ALL 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR. WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO GIVE ME THE SHORTEST MONTH OF THE YEAR TO "CELEBRATE" MY HISTORY
ANYWAYS?
QUESTION: WHEN WE VOTE PUBLICALLY(PRESIDENT, CITY COUNCIL) IS IT COUNTED? THAT QUESTION CAME TO ME DURING THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WHEN THEY HAD ALREADY DECLARED BUSH THE WINNER BEFORE I HAD CASTED MY VOTE. CAN ANYONE ANSWER THAT QUESTION?
