Hi Wise Ones,
This blogging thing is a major part of the new age of cyberspace communication and can be challenging. However, I have no doubt that I'll eventually get the hang of it. The recent comments by Ron Gilliam and Mildred Smith were sent to me via email and I took the liberty of posting them on the blog. Ron teaches the "African-American History Class" at the Lou Walker Center for Active Seniors. Mildred is very lively participant of the class. Both are septuagenarians. (I'm just a baby, a sexagenarian.)
Ron mentioned one of the classes that I teach, "Romance from 50 to Forever". If you'd like to know more about this very popular class, see my blog "Season Senior - Love After 50".
About the President of the United States (POTUS). . . The guy just can't get a break! No matter what President Obama does, the naysayers and Monday morning quarterbacks thwart him at every turn. His own party, the Democrats have failed him since he took office. Is all this negativity because he's black or what?
Social Security and Medicare. . . Do you think the proposed changes will affect African-Americans more negatively than the rest of the seniors in the country?
Charlie Rangel. . . Now that the 80-year old has been censured by the House of Representatives, what do you think about the situation? Check out the Peter Beinart's article in the Daily Beast http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-11-16/charlie-rangel-ethics-woes-peter-beinart-on-what-the-house-would-lose/and Vanity Fair's article on other censured congressional representatives.

"Always remember our past and our ancestors!" Believing that we must keep our history alive, and inspired by many African American elders, this blog presents information on the black experience in America, and the African diaspora; focusing on the past, the present, and the future. As in the African tradition, we hope all will benefit from the wisdom of these elders. "Until lions tell their tale, the story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter." – African Proverb –
