It's about the murder of Trayvon Martin, but it was written in order to apply to all of the youth who are at risk or have lost their lives for little or no good reason. It may be an oversimplification on my part but I think we should try to spread this song along with it's message and along with our message that it's time to start actively making something happen to end this attack on our young people. Jessica Ann has given us this vehicle why don't we see if we can't make a difference.<br />I hope at least we can get some discussion going on the topic. As for myself I'm already started, I have been pushing and sharing with friends on facebook and google plus and via email in an effort to get them sharing and talking about the song and the situation. You can see my blogpost (which is evolving with time) at- <br /><br />http://blackmediamine.blogspot.ca/2012/04/18-tribute-to-trayvon-and-all-black.html<br /><br />or just watch the song on youtube at-<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YrV18apV-c<br /><br /> <br />I am not involved with the authors of this song and have no personal interests<br />economically with anyone involved with it. That said, if they do profit by the spread of this song, that, IMO can only serve as an example to some of our creative young composers that there is a place for positive Black music. <br /><br />If what I am saying makes sense to you then please spread the music and the word.<br />Sincerely,<br /> The Web Prospector <br />Black Media Mine http://blackmediamine.blogspot.comProspectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827221267107048612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-85168948004168981142012-04-12T01:00:41.005-04:002012-04-12T01:00:41.005-04:00Susan - You are welcome to use any image you find ...<b>Susan</b> - You are welcome to use any image you find on this blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-76995241373153783142012-04-11T21:11:57.411-04:002012-04-11T21:11:57.411-04:00I'd like permission to use the image on your b...I'd like permission to use the image on your blog for my petition about taser control<br /><br />Please let me know:<br /><br />http://www.thepetitionsite.com/641/916/361/tighten-restrictions-on-taser-use-now/<br /><br />I have an older one on the case in AU, and they are outraged after only 5 deaths - we have 500 reported.<br /><br />Please let me know asap<br />wellsvaughan@yahoo.com<br /><br />thanksSusan Barringer Wells (Vaughan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07865969674169296542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-88521519751452821342011-07-31T09:10:45.204-04:002011-07-31T09:10:45.204-04:00ACORNgansta - You try the patience of a well-meani...<b>ACORNgansta</b> - You try the patience of a well-meaning blogger.

This isn't really an introduction, but I came across something while helping a friend for a school assignment and thought I would share it:<br /><br />From Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crisis ): "The Crisis is the official magazine of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and was founded by W. E. B. Du Bois in 1910."<br /><br />While helping my friend look for old articles, I found that "The Crisis" magazine is almost entirely archived on Google Books, going back to 1911.<br /><br />http://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks%3A1&tbo=1&q=The+Crisis+Magazine&btnG=Search+Books#q=The+Crisis+Magazine&hl=en&tbo=1&tbs=bks:1,bkt:m&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=TrrMTILMLJG4sQPMn9CPDg&ved=0CBMQpwU&fp=1&cad=b<br /><br />If you add a year and/or month to the end of the search criteria, you can read articles from nearly 100 years ago, many about issues very similar to ones discussed on this blog.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041836316125399549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-8778070778061695582010-09-05T10:09:39.062-04:002010-09-05T10:09:39.062-04:00Great blog, am a new villager from Zimbabwe, based...Great blog, am a new villager from Zimbabwe, based in South Africa.
