Learning and educating my mind with the knowledge that is truth.
Starr Recording Building [by me]: Richmond, IN
Small time-line:
April 3, 1963: began “full-fledged economic boycott” with sit-ins at local lunch counters, libraries and kneel-ins at white churches downtown Birmingham, AL.
April 3-6: continued filling jails in and around Birmingham and not accepting bail. Towards the 6th business owners were complaining of lose of business.
April 10th: city official banned all demonstrations until court hearing.
Good Friday April 12th: Went against city orders and Martin Luther King, Jr marched with members of his team. All demonstrators thrown in jail…Martin King without a blanket, pillow, nor mattress. Wyatt Walker sent telegram to President Kennedy whom intervened and was able to make calls after that Martin was given all necessities (including paper to read up on events he missed) and make call to his wife. This is the time in which he wrote the “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” It was a reply to eight-white clergymen’s statements in the local Birmingham News.
April 22: They were all tried and given 5 days in jail and fine. Harry Belafonte was able to raise enough funds to get out Martin and other movement leaders out. Lawyers on Martin King’s behalf appealed the conviction. After being released they decided to accept high school students to join in the protests. With complete training in nonviolence and direct action.
May 2: Students left school climbing locked gates, as hundreds of students and grade-school children showed up to take a part in the movement. The second and third wave were beaten by the city police and dogs. Fortunately, the entire act of terrorism was captured on film….not only film--National News Cameras.
Press continued as the movement continued with marches. At the height nearly 3000 people had been thrown in local jails. “first time time in the civil rights movement that we were able to put into effect the Gandhian principle of ‘Fill up the Jails.’ -
May 5th: Firefighters instructed by city sheriff to release power hoses….as they welled with tears as the leaders knelt in prayer in front of their line. Firemen and Policemen parted as the young people continued towards the Birmingham Jail for a prayer pilgrimage. “I saw there, for the first time, the pride and the power of nonviolence.”
Up to May 10th: Meetings and negotiations with city officials. Kennedy administration took action and got two groups to split fees in jail bonds. As they were able to agree upon the other three movement requests.
May 10th: Birmingham Truce Agreement was announced. President Kennedy announced, on national television address, his pledge to make sure the agreement was not broken.
Success of this march led to 900 cities acting with non violence protests. Largest demonstration occurred
August 28th, 1963. 200,00 people gathered for various speakers and the “I have a Dream Speech.”
My Passion is to revive the American Dream for all walks of life.

This version of Hip Hop that the world's media promotes globally, is a strange sissified version of its true self. It consists of middle-class fakers acting like gangsters, so-called hardcore rappers, so-called underground heads and so-called superstars killing each other, while the white controlled global media celebrates. Who are these imposters?
Good Ole Richmond, IN made pianos....I will have one of these in my lifetime!
I love the mind
& All Sorts Of Creative and Imaginative Creations.
Music
HIPHOP....the REAL hiphop not the played out over sampled music on "clear" channel. Music is truly a gateway to happiness. Allowing corrupt words and negativity to strive...brings sadness a heart beat away.
All kinds of music are great, the beat to about anything will make my mind spin. I always make up words in my head.
Music and poetry are beautiful together; yet they may be always together as one.
I love the guitar...my lover playing the guitar is ultimate because he is simply amazing.
Drum N Bass w/ a dope MC and turntablism!!!! Thanks for those two amazing spirits that introduced me to it! Everyone needs to check 'em out....Jayvon and MC XYZ!
Neo Soul has won my heart on many occasions; they created a genre of their own in a town of their own--Philly. Major love for neo soul.
Jazz brings the tunes towards enlightenment. Look where it came from. Richmond, IN had greats record there in the 1920s--yet the culture has been lost in the generations, resurfacing it is the key.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
I was recently reading a book in the local bookstore, Changing Hands. It was called Static. I opened the book and the first page is the funeral of Mrs. Coretta King. The book detailed the information that was read from fellow friends of the King family and fellow civil rights movements leaders. Also, fortunately or unfortunately...Bush was there. I got to seek out the dialouge I read in Static yet when taken to this website: montevideo.usembassy.gov I was shown the dialouge only from Bush. Leaving out all the comments that were spoken regarding his bad decision making and his living up to the American Dream. I have written a letter to the contact us email...in attempts to get a dialouge of the entire funeral. See if they even respond? Static is def. worth the purchase as there was more than the funeral that brought tears to my eyes with passion behind the true eyes. Go check it out...Static is more of the truth than that website.
We deserve TRUTH...NOT a cover of insincerity.

"You are perfectly right, it is all in man's consciousness. He is limited or unlimited, bound or free, just as he thinks. Do you think that the men you saw walk across the stream yesterday to save themselves inconvenience of this trip, are in any way special creations anymore than you are? No. They are not created in any way different from you. They do not have one atom more power than you were created with. They have, by the right use of their thought forces, developed their God-given power. The things you have seen accomplished while you have been with us, you, yourselves, can accomplish just as fully and freely. The things you have seen are accomplished in accord with the definite law and every human being can use the law if he will." - "Jast" from "Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East" by Baird Spalding
There are now Volumes 1-6 for this book....you must read about these men and their long expeditions to study with the Masters of the World. The Masters are affecting the mold for mankind thru their Divine Law and accomplishing what we only believe God to be able to accomplish.....thru Jesus in our minds we have God-like powers...it is concentrating and believing within yourself that you are able to manifest any destiny.

"Through violence you may murder a murderer but you can't murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Goals of one portion of their civil rights movement: "to end poverty, to extirpate prejudice, to free a tormented conscience, to make a tomorrow of justice, fair play and creativity...the create a beloved community" "..Misguided men robbed us of our freedom. We want it back."
“We have created scientific and industrial miracles,” he’d say. “Man-made instruments guide missiles millions of miles into space, measuring and analyzing the components of other worlds. Yet in a luncheonette in a southern town, the government cannot make the constitution function for human rights.”
Billions of tax dollars, he said, “have gone to support housing programs and hospital and airport construction in which discrimination is an open and notorious practice. . . . Private firms…receive billions of dollars annually in government contracts…”
“in a multi-racial society, no group can make it alone,” that “our world is a neighborhood,” that “all will benefit from a color-blind land of plenty.”
“The only truly responsible consensus will emerge when grassroots people know the issues, articulate their demands, and become a part of the democratic process.”
Marching the injustice of the world to the dirt. These men taught non-violence and won...yet the world is still plagued with violence and hatred in our streets. Who is a real hero in American minds today?
Henry David Thoreau. His writings are so true and yet so clearly put...after some contemplation of the wording of course. I truly brilliant mind that lived here on earth. Gandhi had a love for Civil Disobedience by Thoreau. That is in "The Worlds Greatest Thinkers."
To Plato, knowledge had no practical use, it existed for the abstract good of the soul.
Alfred North Whitehead once paid him tribute by describing the history of philosophy as simply "a series of footnotes to Plato."

Benjamin Franklin
"Join, or Die"
"Benjamin Franklin published [a] woodcut in the Pennsylvania Gazette, which represents America as a snake severed into various provinces. Prior to the outbreak of the French and Indian War, Franklin hoped to persuade the American colonies to unite their governments to protect themselves from the French and their Native American allies under a plan later known as "The Albany Plan," which was ultimately rejected. The image, the first to address unification of the colonies, would later be used as a symbol of the American Revolution with the motto: "Don't Tread On Me." - Library of Congress.
Siddhartha Gotama
Siddhartha Gotama was born into a royal family in Lumbini, now located in Nepal, in 563 BC. At 29, he realized that wealth and luxury did not guarantee happiness, so he explored the different teachings religions and philosophies of the day, to find the key to human happiness. After six years of study and meditation he finally found 'the middle path' and was enlightened. After enlightenment, the Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the principles of Buddhism — called the Dhamma, or Truth — until his death at the age of 80.

"Is a teacher necessary? Think of that question. The definition of a guru is from darkness into light. That’s why when you hear children saying gu gu they’re in darkness. They’re experiencing the world, so they say gu gu, for they already self consciously realize that the world is darkness. But when you say guru, that’s the light. Therefore a guru should always be a sage who takes you from darkness into light." Robert Adams
