"I really enjoy experiencing the art, history and music of Bronzeville."<br />
It is fun to ride the Bronzeville Trolley to hear about the historical places of the Sutherland Hotel and Lounge, South Side Community Art Center, and Harold Washington Cultural Center. I was honored to meet Rhymefest who co-wrote the Oscar nominated song "Glory" from the movie "Selma". Rhymefest kicked off the 8th Annual Bronzeville Art District Trolley Tour by joining us on the trolley and doing photo ops at Faie Afrikan Art Gallery." by +Janice Temple<br />

Spike Lee’s film will be a comedy about women who withhold sex until their men take action on the violence in their neighborhood.

However, the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Film">worldwide distribution</a> of the movie “ChiRaq” will be a tourism nightmare for Chicago’s southside Obama Presidential Library. </span><br />

Alderman Burns stated “I said in that meeting, ‘A lot of people take offense to the term Chiraq,’” <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Burns" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Mr. Burns">Mr. Burns</a> said in an interview. “These are communities where people are doing the right thing, people trying to have a decent neighborhood.

Chicago still lives with the images from the movie St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of machine guns blazing as Gangster Al Capone killed his enemies on February 14, 1929. It has been 86 years and Chicago is still known as the city of “pow pow pow” or the sound of machine gun bullets. As I traveled the world with my family living as an expat in France, Belgium, Venezuela and Argentina, the response to me stating I was from Chicago was always the same “pow pow pow”. The images of movies last for decades.</span><br />

<br />
to win the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.pulitzer.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Pulitzer Prize">Pulitzer Prize</a>. She was also the first African American woman to hold the position of<br />

<br />
that Gwendolyn Brooks received the Pulitzer Prize, she lived in Chicago at 9134 South Wentworth<br />
<br />
Avenue. She got a call from a Jack Star Chicago Suntimes news reporter in the dark<br />
<br />
because the electric company had cut off her power for lack of payment. She was concerned about<br />
<br />
the news reporters coming by the next day and not being able to plug in their cameras. Fortunately<br />
<br />
her electricity was restored before the reporter's arrival. Gwendolyn Brooks had shared this story<br />
<br />
many times. I am a native <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.8819444444,-87.6277777778&spn=0.1,0.1&q=41.8819444444,-87.6277777778%20(Chicago)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Chicago">Chicagoan</a> who was unaware that Gwendolyn Brooks had once<br />

<br />

<br />
submissions to publications whose themes are in keeping with those submissions. Just click the<br />

<br />
3. Duotrope (formerly Duotrope's Digest) (Pay)<br />
<br />
http://duotrope.com<br />
<br />
Duotroupe is an established writer's resource for experienced writers, and for those who are just<br />
<br />
getting started. It is a database dedicated to listing submission markets (over 4,995) of them). What<br />
<br />
is very useful is its ease of use. Whether someone writes poetry or prose, it covers almost the entire s<br />
<br />
spectrum in terms of journal listings. Filter to exactly what journals fall in line with your submission<br />
<br />
interests, and get a comprehensive Listing of markets. It has the best search features of any writers'<br />
<br />
resource submission tool that is currently available. That said, there is a $50.00 subscription for the<br />
<br />
service. In spite of that, I would still recommend exploring Duotrope. If you want to save a lot of<br />
<br />
time and find the best journals quickly. Duotrope is certainly worth a look.<br />
<br />

The "Top 50 Literary Magazines" site offers a countdown of journals that some in the literary<br />
<br />
cannon consider to be the top such magazines that exist. While it is a subjective grouping, it is,<br />
<br />
nevertheless, a good journal listing to browse.<br />

Pullman, IL an industrial town built in 1884 was designated the "World's Most Perfect Town" in<br />
<br />
1896 by the Prague International Hygienic and Pharmaceutical Exposition of 1896. George M.<br />
<br />
Pullman, President of the Pullman Palace Car Company developed a model community for the<br />
<br />
working class that was superior to environments elsewhere. George Pullman hoped to avoid strikes,<br />
<br />
attract skilled workers from England and Scotland with greater productivity through a better<br />
<br />
health environment than slums with unsanitary conditions and social ills. The town of Pullman, IL<br />
<br />
was completed with over 1,000 homes that workers rented which included utilities and maintenance.<br />

Life for workers in the Utopian town of Pullman, IL was expensive because the workers paid high<br />
<br />
rents and utilities. Workers could not own their homes, give public speeches, hold town meetings, or<br />
<br />
have open discussions. Independent newspapers were forbidden as well as saloons and brothels.<br />
<br />
A Chicago Tribune editorial stated that, "none of the...advantages of the model city will compensate<br />
<br />
for the restrictions on the freedom of the workmen..." These conditions lead to social unrest of the<br />
<br />
Pullman Strike of 1894, boycott and riots that killed 30 people. Although the strike was<br />
<br />
unsuccessful, it lead to Congress designating Labor Day as a federal holiday.<br />

George Pullman founded the Pullman Palace Car Company in 1867 after a poor night's sleep sitting<br />
<br />
in a train car Pullman dreamed of the sleeping car. George M. Pullman went to the South to hire<br />
<br />
former house slaves to work as porters and waiters on the Pullman Palace Train Car. In 1937, the<br />
<br />
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (first African-American Union legally recognized by the<br />
<br />
American Federation of Labor) was recognized by the Pullman company. A. Philip Randolph<br />
<br />
leader of The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters organized the March on Washington in 1963.<br />

During Social Media Week Chicago I stumbled upon this great little Italian Restaurant and Deli behind Trump Tower next to the Chicago River, Bongiorno's Chicago. I soon discovered that this quaint little Italian eatery was a favorite lunch spot of Ernie Banks. One day I stopped by the restaurant to meet with Tom Bongiorno the owner about catering a travel meetup event. May 2014, I walked into Bongiorno's Deli, I spotted Ernie Banks sitting on a sofa in a corner of the restaurant. I could hardly contain myself with excitement. Tom asked me if I knew who he was? I shook my head yes, as I could hardly speak. Tom asked me if I wanted to meet Ernie Banks. I quickly said yes.<div>

I sat down next to Mr. Ernie Banks on the sofa to take some photos. Then Ernie Banks began to share his stories with me. I remember Ernie Banks stating that he wanted to known for his philanthropy work and not his baseball career. He desire was that people remember him for being a humanitarian. Then Ernie Banks invited me to visit a prison with him. He shared that he visited prisons regularly. I declined because I did not feel comfortable going to a prison. I had these negative images floating around in my head. I just couldn't do it at the time. Now I regret having passed up the opportunity to accompany Ernie Banks on one of his prison visits.</div>

Ernie Banks took a genuine interest in my life, he encouraged me to call my ex-husband and tell him that I love him. Ernie Banks tried his best to convince me that I should reunite with my ex. We ended that conversation with I would think about. I laugh and smile to myself as I recall my visit with Ernie Banks. Yes, he was a humanitarian who spread joy to others.

When I heard rumors of the top 100 travel bloggers being invited to the White House for this prestigious event, I asked to see the list of the Top 100 Travel Bloggers which was not necessarily the same as the White House invitee list. However the Top 100 Travel Bloggers List did not include one <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="African American">Black or African American</a> Travel Blogger. Upon further investigation as to which bloggers of color received an invite to this ground-breaking travel promotion event, it was revealed there were no Black or African American Travel Bloggers invited to this White House Travel Blogger Summit. I stated to the travel blogging community of whom are predominantly white that the list lacked <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Black people">Black People</a>. Their responses were that Black Travel Bloggers lack the statistics and influence of White Travel Bloggers. We did not measure up to their metrics for the Top 100 Travel Bloggers List. Some of the bloggers inquired as to whom should be included on the list this verifying stats. I mentioned some top influential Black Travel Bloggers that I know personally as I don’t have stats of their readership available. Despite suggestions of possible candidates, not one Black Travel Blogger was present. The travel blogging community encourages black travel bloggers to keep trying, work harder and maybe next year you will make it. This group also stated that none of the black travel bloggers has the reach level of influence of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Jet" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Johnny Jet">Johnny Jet</a> or <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.nomadicmatt.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Nomadic Matt">Nomadic Matt</a>. We pointed out to this travel blogging community that Blacks desire to learn about travel from people who look like them. Traveling while Black is an experience that can only be shared by a Black person. Despite a very heated debated Black Travel Bloggers were snubbed by the travel blogging community and not invited to the White House Travel Blogger Summit. This is unacceptable from a travel community group of people who are suppose to have a multicultural viewpoint from their travel experiences. White Privilege still exists in the travel blogging community. I am not sure how many of the travel bloggers who attended the summit participated in study abroad programs. If the Top 100 Travel Bloggers had that opportunity to study abroad, then it should have exposed them to be understanding and inclusive of other cultures, especially Black Travel Bloggers. These are turbulent times as America faces racial injustice of the murder daily of unarmed Black people in our society. One solution to America’s problem of racism and White Privilege is the study abroad program. White America needs to engage with other cultures because most White Americans live in a world that encompasses a circle of 96% White friends and do not encounter Black people until college or the workforce. So college study abroad programs would truly benefit race relations in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20(United%20States)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="United States">United States</a>.

Within overall study abroad the balance is more skewed at 76% White, 5% African American, 8% Hispanic, 7% Asian Pacific Islander, and less than 1% Native American. While we need to increase study abroad overall, we specifically need to ensure that students of all background including racial and ethnic as well as socioeconomic status are better represented. As it stands fewer minority students study abroad than are represented in higher education overall; over the past 15 years we have seen slight improvements in reaching more diverse students through study abroad between 2000 and 2012 minority representation in international study has seen an increase from 16% to 24% with over 68,000 minority students studying abroad over the 2012- 2013 academic year. We are making progress but we can do better to be more reflective of American society. While we must strive to improve diversity”....</span></div>

Students will be provided photography and videography training from industry experts in New York City. Those students will be paired with individual mentors and sent to five countries Europe for a three-week cultural immersion and skill building experience. Students will produce photography and journal entries that will be displayed in each of their communities in professional exhibits. This will not only show their peers what they have done, but inspire others in the community to strive for opportunities once thought impossible. The students work will then be compiled into a book for donors as a thank you for your support.</span></div>

The United States is a leader in many global fields including higher education. One of our goals at the state department is help ensure that young americans our next generation of leaders have the international skills they want and need for a globalized 21st century workforce. We know the interest is there, over half of U.S. students enter the university with the interest of studying abroad. However, fewer than 10% actually take part in the study abroad over their entire academic careers. In 2012 - 2013 the total number of U.S. students taking part in study abroad was under 300,000. On the surface, this number sounds terrific until you realize that this is only 1.5% of the almost 20 million American students enrolled in U.S. Higher Education during the same period. 1.5% percent is a very stunningly low number. Fifteen years ago there were nearly 130,000 US students studying abroad with this number more than doubling from 2012 to 2013 to 289,000. Yet with the current rate of annual growth which is approximately 2% it will take another 35 years to double again. This is not acceptable. We must do better and we can do better. American students face many real and perceived constraints to study abroad. They may be hesitant to take leave from the universities and colleges where they study, fearing a loss of progress towards their degree completion. For those who rely on income derived from employment both the short term loss of income as well as potential increased cost of education for study abroad may prove too daunting. It is always difficult to say goodbye to family and friends who may worry about your safety and security. It is also intimidating to navigate daily life in a foreign culture and language and students may also express concerns about missing out on events and activities while away from their home campuses. Nevertheless, we firmly believe that encouraging American students to study abroad is a strategic imperative for the United States. Responses from students who are returning from international experiences validate the importance of study abroad on a more personal level as well; of the 20 million U.S. students in higher education they are represented as follows: 62% White, 14 % African American, 13% Hispanic, 7% Asian Pacific Islander, 1% Native American. Within overall study abroad the balance is more skewed at 76% White, 5% African American, 8% Hispanic, 7% Asian Pacific Islander, and less than 1% Native American. While we need to increase study abroad overall, we specifically need to ensure that students of all background including racial and ethnic as well as socioeconomic status are better represented. As it stands fewer minority students study abroad than are represented in higher education overall; over the past 15 years we have seen slight improvements in reaching more diverse students through study abroad between 2000 and 2012 minority representation in international study has seen an increase from 16% to 24% with over 68,000 minority students studying abroad over the 2012- 2013 academic year. We are making progress but we can do better to be more reflective of American society. While we must strive to improve diversity and study abroad participation we must do likewise in the choice of destination. Fifteen years ago over 60% of U.S. students taking part in study abroad travel to Europe, followed by 15% to Latin America, and with single digits for all other regions of the world. The current picture of international studies show improvement with the greater diversity of study abroad destinations. As was the case 15 years ago, Europe remains the primary destination for Americans studying abroad. While overall numbers of Americans studying in Europe have increased the percentage has fallen actually from 63% to 53% over this time period. Even so, 32% of all U.S. students have taken part in U.S. study abroad currently travel to only 1 of 3 countries in Europe: the U.K., Italy, and Spain. Latin America, a focal point of the President’s 100,000 strong initiative which Ben mentioned has seen an increase over the last 15 years with an overall doubling in numbers currently standing at 16% and within the region Brazil had increased seven fold within the same period of time. Asia over the same time frame has seen considerable growth, doubling its share from 6% to 12% . China, another White House priority country for study abroad is only one of two countries over 15 years to rise into the top 10 destinations for U.S. students studying abroad with a significant increase from 2% to 5%. Fewer than 10% of US students taking advantage of study abroad opportunities that leaves over 90% of American students without this vital component as part of their education. We must strive to expand overall participation rate and study abroad, make to sure to further diversify student participation as to better reflect American society overall. We must ensure that Americans are learning about the people peoples and cultures across the entire world, not just a handful of countries.</span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-1aca50ba-5350-ab2f-c4eb-00ff095087cd"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The White House recently invited travel bloggers to attend the White House Travel Blogger Summit on Study Abroad and Global Citizenship which was held on December 9, 2014. When I heard rumors of the top 100 travel bloggers being invited to the White House for this prestigious event, I asked to see the list of the Top 100 Travel Bloggers which was not necessarily the same as the White House invitee list. However the Top 100 Travel Bloggers List did not include one Black or African American Travel Blogger. Upon further investigation as to which bloggers of color received an invite to this ground-breaking travel promotion event, it was revealed there were no Black or African American Travel Bloggers invited to this White House Travel Blogger Summit. I stated to the travel blogging community of whom are predominantly white that the list lacked Black People. Their responses were that Black Travel Bloggers lack the statistics and influence of White Travel Bloggers. We did not measure up to their metrics for the Top 100 Travel Bloggers List. Some of the bloggers inquired as to whom should be included on the list this verifying stats. I mentioned some top influential Black Travel Bloggers that I know personally as I don’t have stats of their readership available. Despite suggestions of possible candidates, not one Black Travel Blogger was present. The travel blogging community encourages black travel bloggers to keep trying, work harder and maybe next year you will make it. This group also stated that none of the black travel bloggers has the reach level of influence of Johnny Jet or Nomadic Matt. We pointed out to this travel blogging community that Blacks desire to learn about travel from people who look like them. Traveling while Black is an experience that can only be shared by a Black person. Despite a very heated debated Black Travel Bloggers were snubbed by the travel blogging community and not invited to the White House Travel Blogger Summit. This is unacceptable from a travel community group of people who are suppose to have a multicultural viewpoint from their travel experiences. White Privilege still exists in the travel blogging community. I am not sure how many of the travel bloggers who attended the summit participated in study abroad programs. If the Top 100 Travel Bloggers had that opportunity to study abroad, then it should have exposed them to be understanding and inclusive of other cultures, especially Black Travel Bloggers. These are turbulent times as America faces racial injustice of the murder daily of unarmed Black people in our society. One solution to America’s problem of racism and White Privilege is the study abroad program. White America needs to engage with other cultures because most White Americans live in a world that encompasses a circle of 96% White friends and do not encounter Black people until college or the workforce. So college study abroad programs would truly benefit race relations in the United States. There is hope for our nation.</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My French Professor Sister Elsa Copeland taught us to speak French fluently and encouraged us to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_abroad_in_the_United_States" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Study abroad in the United States">study abroad</a>. Sister Elsa would say that in order to keep the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="French language">French language</a> that it is necessary to live the language for one year. Sister Elsa was our personal study abroad program. We were a small class of five students. Jacque was French; Annick was Belgian; Gigi was <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20(United%20States)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="United States">American</a>; Renarde <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="African American">Black American</a>; Hiromi was Japanese and myself. Sister Elsa mentored us to all travel after we graduated from college which exactly what happened. There was no doubt for us about traveling, money was not a conversational topic. Sister Elsa walked us through the process and the money appeared. Everything just lined up.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During my Mundelein College years I lived at home in the South Shore area of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.8819444444,-87.6277777778&spn=0.1,0.1&q=41.8819444444,-87.6277777778%20(Chicago)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> and would drive to the northside for my classes. I would go some days to the language lab to spend hours listening and repeating French conversations. At home I would practice reading French dialogues while cooking in the kitchen. I would spend hours listening to French conversational cassette tapes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sister Elsa individually perfected our pronunciation of the French language by correcting the placement of our tongue and the shape of our lips. She would hold our hands to her throat as she uttered French vowels and consonants. During our lessons she would talk to us about studying abroad. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are some of the tips that Sister Elsa taught us to prepare for our GAP Year Study Abroad:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Contact the embassy or consulate for a list of schools and courses to research</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many types of language immersion options other than a traditional university. If you don't have the funds for university in another country then seek out inexpensive language courses at an institute.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Request a paper map of the city you plan to live and get to know the communities</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can put the map on your wall and study the layout of the city before you arrive. If you a solo female traveler contact the consulate to find out which neighborhoods are the safest to look for lodging.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Create a vision board or dream board of your study abroad</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pinterest is a great tool to collect your photos of the city in which you desire to study abroad and you can save blogs and articles too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 Apply for student discount cards for access to museums before you travel abroad</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_student" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="International student">International Student</a> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_document" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Identity document">ID Card</a> provides special rates on airfare, trains, accommodations and more.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Apply for international drivers license before you travel abroad</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you plan to rent a car and drive through Europe, you should apply for your international drivers license in the U.S.A.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Play the who do you know game</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The who do you know game is basically asking your family and friends who do you know that lives in the city that you want to do your study abroad program.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Work visa not available</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some countries do grant work visas to foreigners, so teaching private English lessons is a possible option.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. Funding your study abroad</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grassroots funding from family, friends and strangers with kickstarter or similar internet donation portals.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. Connect with online travel communities</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are several black travel group communities which exchange information about traveling and living while black abroad.</span></div>

Trinity United Church of Christ Chicago celebrated its 53rd Anniversary on Sunday, December 7, 2014 with a peaceful solidarity protest #BlackLivesMatter lead by our Pastor, Rev. Otis Moss III and his wife First Lady Monica Moss. We chanted and marched from the church down 95th Street to the Red Line Train Station. TUCC was one of several churches to protest on this Sunday in wake of the Eric Garner non- indictment of the police officer who choked him to death in New York City. and the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. by a police officer who was also not indicted by a grand jury.<br />

I have been sharing on social media the videos, photos and articles since August of this year when the Ferguson police attempted to blackout the media by shooting at their camera equipment and damaging their battery pack. The Ferguson Police did not want the story to get out about their attack on the Ferguson Canfield Residents where Mike Brown who was unarmed was shoot by a police officer. The police allowed Mike Brown's body to lie on the ground for 4.5 hours in view of the Canfield Residents. It was subtle signal to the residents that this could be you.<br />
<br />
The members of TUCC Chicago lead Rev. Otis Moss III and his wife First Lady Monica Moss participated in a die-in at the 95th Street Red Line Station for 4.5 minutes to represent the 4.5 hours that Mike Brown laid on the ground after his death.<br />
<br />
Peaceful protest begin in Ferguson with residents chanting "Hand Up Don't Shoot" which symbolizes Mike Brown's surrender to the police as he was shot to death by the police officer. We also chanted "Black Lives Matter" which is a statement demanding that White America recognize that the lives of Black People are not equally valued in the United States of America.<br />
<br />
Pastor Otis Moss III lead the hundreds of church members who participated in the peaceful protest in prayer and the youth spoke about the number of Black lives that are lost every hour to police shootings.<br />
<br />
My thoughts are that Black Lives Matter because we are all God's children. The color of our skin should not be a death warrant in America. Black people deserve education and jobs. We live in Chicago, a city in which our Mayor Rahm Emmanuel closed 50 schools effecting 10,000 students many who fear going to school. This past summer 96% of Black youth ages 16 to 24 years old were unemployed, the lack of education and jobs are also hurting us. We protest for a better future for our youth just as we protested in the 1960's.<br />

<br />
America has broken its promises once again of civil rights, the civil rights act was temporary it was not a law. America has taken back out civil rights. During the 1960's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lead a March on Washington and lead marches around cities in America to fight for education, jobs, housing and equality. White America has turned its back on those promises. Today White America refuses to fund education for Black People through the tax laws. White America closes our schools and builds jail cells based on the number of black and brown students who can not read in the third grade. The prisons are the new slave plantations with new chains taking away our freedom. Once the protests have stopped will the same thing happen again? Will the 1964 Civil Rights Act become a law? Will White America change the tax laws to fund the education of African American and Latino children? Will the building and funding of prisons instead of schools stop? Will the killing by police of our black bodies stop? Will White America cure itself of the mental illness of racism and truly make Black Lives Matter?<br />

Mason, curator of Ethnology for the National Museum of Natural History. He believed in German anthropologist Gustav Friedrich Klemm theory that European Culture is "active" and everyone is "passive". Klemm also believed in a stepwise evolution of cultures leading to technology as a representation of a culture's stage of development. This theory was dismissed as chauvinistic and unfounded. </span><br />

Both are artistic ventures on a massive scale and, for the most part, in the same Beaux-Arts design tradition. Many of the artists who contributed works to the Library building either helped design the imperial facades of the Chicago Exposition or exhibited their works within its pavilions; moreover, many of them repeated the idealistic themes and togaed likenesses they produced in Chicago."</span><br />

<br />
This is a thank you gift from <a href="http://ramblen.co/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ramblen</a> for my participation in their online magazine as a contributor.<br />
<br />
This is my first experience with <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ACURE ORGANICS</a> and I must say that I am very impressed with the products. I have so much hair on my head probably enough for three or four people so it is difficult to find products that cover my hair in one application. The <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ACURE ORGANICS </a>TROPICAL CITRUS ARGAN OIL CASTILE SOAP did a great job sudsing and lathering to clean my locs. I thought that I might need three shampoos but two lathers with the yummy fruity essential oils was sufficient. After shampooing and rinsing my locs, I applied the <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ACURE</a> ARGAN OIL 100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC MOROCCAN for deep conditioning. It is very thick and I probably used too much of it. As I stated before I did not think that it would cover all of my hair. I probably used about 1/4 of the bottle of serum which too much. It is a very heavy oil that penetrates deeply into the hair follicles. The final product I used on my locs was the <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ACURE</a> LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER ARGRAN OIL + ARGRAN STEM CELL. I did not need to use as much of this product as I anticipated, it covered my thick hair very well. I was very pleased with the results of these <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ACURE ORGANICS</a> on my long thick locs and look forward to the next beauty treatment. Thank you <a href="http://ramblen.co/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ramblen</a> for the gift box of <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ACURE ORGANICS</a>.<br />

Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend Vacation and Travel can be very stressful with crowds and long lines at the Airport TSA Security Line. Once I was working a flight as a flight attendant. I was dressed in my blue uniform pants and blazer with blue and white striped blouse passing through the meal detector at the Memphis <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_security" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Airport security">airport security checkpoint</a> when I heard the TSA Agent stop an elderly woman behind me. She was attempting to bring through security frozen mac 'n cheese casserole dish. The TSA Agent confiscated the elderly woman's Thanksgiving Dinner Mac 'N Cheese.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately frozen foods are not allowed to fly through airport security and onto planes.<br />

You can however fly with fresh baked pies and cakes. So you may bring dessert for Thanksgiving Dinner with your family as TSA does allow these sweet goodies for flying through airport security.<br />
<br />
Here is a list of food and gift items that must be shipped if they are 3.4 oz or more:<br />
<br />
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranberry_sauce" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Cranberry sauce">Cranberry sauce</a><br />
Cologne<br />
Creamy dips and spreads (cheeses, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Peanut butter">peanut butter</a>, etc.)<br />
Gift baskets with food items (salsa, jams and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/frisee-salad-with-bacon.html" rel="williamssonoma" target="_blank" title="Frisée Salad with Bacon">salad dressings</a>)<br />

Salsa<br />
Sauces<br />
Snow Globes<br />
Soups<br />
Wine, liquor and beer<br />
<br />
I have seen many moms with large containers of peanut butter which are not allowed through security as it is considered a gel substance by TSA. You may bring small 3.4 oz containers of peanut butter through security.<br />
