Wednesday, December 12, 2007 9:36 AM S Video interview of Megan Williams So much media talk, but here is the words from Megan and her Mother uncut for you to hear for yourself. There is going to be lots more said and hopefully done soon about this terrible experience that Megan encountered. This will clear up some of the lies and rumors you may have heard as it did for me. It is always important for all to know the truth and once the trial starts lots will be kept from the people until it is over. This is why I have now shared this with you. They were just in DC last evening and for those whom missed them check this video interview out. This evening, I was blessed to meet Megan Williams, her mom and other family members during a compelling forum about the horrific abuse she suffered simply because she is Black --- the struggle definitely continues. Because of legal issues, she couldn't tell her own story during the forum. Senghor Baye |

[TheBlackList] National Campaign to Save a Generation Wednesday, September 24, 2008 " theblacklist-repost@theblacklist.net Inventing an uncommon conversation about being free Black Star Project blackstar1000@ameritech.net Reflections from Dr. Willie Myles, President, National Campaign to Save a Generation: More than 100 people representing 22 cities around the country attended a retreat sponsored by Susan Taylor, editor emeritus of Essence magazine and founder of the National Cares Mentoring Movement (NCMM). It was exciting to be involved with this venture and to watch the excitement of each of the participants. It was a feeling that I had not experienced for a long time: a community of Black people meeting to set strategy in order to rescue our children. The resounding echo of "NOT UNDER OUR WATCH" was powerful. The speakers included Phillip Jackson, The Black Star Project, representatives from Anheuser-Busch, DOL Job Corp, the faith community, universities and colleges. I was honored to give a presentation on the National Campaign to Save a Generation, discussing our strategies, our services and the impact that we are making around the country. We now have a National Campaign to Save a Generation starter kit, including a DVD. I am pleased to announce that both national campaigns are working together to save a generation. The NCMM is designed to RECRUIT and train Black mentors to work with Black children. Dr. Maya Angelou is a remarkable Renaissance woman who is hailed as one of the great voices of contemporary literature. As a poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer and director, she continues to travel the world, spreading her legendary wisdom. Within the rhythm of her poetry and elegance of her prose lies Angelou's unique power to help readers of every orientation span the lines of race, and Angelou captivates audiences through the vigor and sheer beauty of her words and lyrics. Dr. Angelou wrote the pledge for CARES. The highlight of the retreat was when Ms. Taylor got on her cell phone to call Maya Angelou, and placed her on speakerphone so that she could hear us read the pledge she wrote. She then shared her thoughts about helping others. This was a moment in time that I will never forget. If you are interested in starting "A Circle" Cares Mentoring, please go to this website: www.caresmentoring.com or call 404.584.2744. A local summit to address the issue of recruiting mentors in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is scheduled for October 2008.

BAIL OUT ON THIS BAILOUT By Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. Are we witnessing the death of the republic? Sound hysterical? Look at how Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson proposes to govern the $700 billion — some $2,000 for every man, woman and child in America — that he wants to bail out the banks. He wants the power to buy “Troubled Assets from any Financial Institution . . . on such terms and conditions as determined by the Secretary,” and his decisions “may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency,” according to the text of the U.S. Treasury Department’s legislative proposal. In other words, give him the $700 billion to spend as he sees fit and shut up. The occasion for this breathtaking insult to the Constitution is the worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression. Essentially, we are being held for ransom: Give us the money on our terms or the banks will take down the global economy. We know how we got here. Decades of reckless economic policies and batty ideas — deregulation, disemboweling regulatory agencies, allowing a shadow banking system to develop without limits, market fundamentalists preaching nonsense about markets always being efficient and self-correcting — left Wall Street’s speculators free to gamble on their own. They borrowed heavily, invented complex new instruments, and pocketed millions along the way. Much of it depended on housing prices going up. Predatory lenders huckstered complicated loans to folks, with no stake in whether they had any chance to repay them. When housing prices peaked out, banks found themselves with billions in toxic paper, and trillions in exposed credit swaps. Now they want free use of $700 billion, which they say will get the crisis under control. Treasury Secretary Paulson says Congress must act immediately. Well, wait just one minute. If it takes $700 billion to bail out Paulson’s former colleagues on Wall Street, some basic questions have to be answered: Who pays? The rewards of the economic growth of the last decade went overwhelmingly to the wealthiest Americans. Send the bill to those who had the party. We need an excise tax on high incomes to pay for cleaning up the mess. Who decides? We can’t allow the folks who helped create the mess be in charge of cleaning it up. We need an independent entity, governed by a board with union and consumer representation and the power to make the rules for any bailout. Who benefits? If taxpayers are bailing out banks, taxpayers should get partial ownership — so if the banks do return to profitability, we get some of our money back. Who gets helped? We can’t just bail out Wall Street and ignore Main Street. The bailout must be bottom up, not just top-down. Any bailout must include provisions for renegotiating mortgages, freezing foreclosures and keeping people in their homes. What gets the economy going? It’s not enough to bail out the banks. We need serious public investment in the real economy — in rebuilding schools and sewers, in green jobs and conservation that will put people back to work. Who is independent? The oversight committees and the overseers must come off Wall Street’s payroll. Financial industry lobbyists should be banned from the beltway for the next year. Legislators=2 0should refuse Wall Street PAC and executive donations for at least the next two years. Who is accountable? No executive of a firm that is bailed out should be paid more than the president of the United States. Will the Congress act with the wisdom to put us back on track? Or will it squander even more money on Wall Street without making America better? We’d better help Congress make the right choice. |
