If you’d like to learn more about James Baldwin, here’s his Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Baldwin
I found this great video on YouTube as a bonus. James Baldwin is being interviewed by Dick Cavett on The Dick Cavettt show. Once you’ve watched the video ask yourself a simple question: Has anything changed? Something to ponder.
Have a great Tuesday, all.
Until next time…

To continue with Rosa Parks from our educational video on her life yesterday, here are 5 quotes of wisdom from her. Enjoy!
I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.
I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free… so other people would be also free.
People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically… No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
Each person must live their life as a model for others.
Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

This is a truly eye-opening Ted Talk. I have been working on this for the last few years. It is really important to understand others, even with diametrically opposed views. We are all here. We are all on this planet. Ignoring or nullifying someone else’s opinion is fruitless. As Zachary points out in this video, we must listen to the other side to learn.
Until next time…
