Memorial Day

Yes this is the weekend many have waited for all winter. Picnics, parties, food and friends. Let's not forget what this holiday is really about...remembering those who have died in the armed forces. Especially let us lift up are voice in prayer for all those who have been lost in Iraq and the innocent civilians and Iraq armed forces as well. Hopefully we will have peace soon.I wish you all a enjoyable weekend and would like to leave you with this wonderful speech by the late Yolanda King. RIP Ms. King and thank you.

Time to Live

Today I was shocked to her that Yolanda King, the legendary daughter of Rev. Martin Luther King died yesterday in California. Age 51 is too young to die. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, King was a human rights worker and actress. She was a member of the Board of Directors of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Incorporated (the official national memorial to her father) and was founding Director of the King Center's Cultural Affairs Program. She served on the Partnership Council of Habitat for Humanity, was a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a sponsor of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and held a lifetime membership in the NAACP. King received a B.A. degree with honors from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, a Masters degree in Theatre from New York University and an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Marywood University. In 1978 she starred as Rosa Parks in the TV miniseries King (which was based on her father's life and released on DVD in 2005). posting from Wikipedia.
