Black America Needs Political GPS; and Kevin Gray, on Obama, in Italian press by Marian, at Marian's Blog 1:54 pm / 04 September 2008
Some weeks back during one of her national workshops, L.A.-based communications, public and 'authentic voice' speaking guru Norma Hollis asked me, "How should Black Americans relate to the rest of the African diaspora?" That's a heck of a good, hundred-dollar...

Martin Luther King’s birthday today, and ‘the silence of our friends’ by Marian Douglas, at Marian's Blog 5:21 am / 15 January 2008

John Edwards knows it’s the economy, not just Iraq by Marian Douglas, at Marian's Blog 8:16 am / 09 January 2008
As the candidate said last night in New Hampshire, I too am on the John Edwards grassroots campaign bandwagon right through my ancestral South Carolina, called "the Black Primary", and the other 47, right up to the Democratic Party convention...

Looking back at the tampered 2000 and 2004 U.S. elections from today, Tuesday, January 1st, 2008, it is crystal clear we now are down to the wire for democracy in America. No joke, folks. We need John Edwards for president...
