If there's a phrase that describes the small business experience... it has to be “survival of the fittest!” So what questions do you need to ask of yourself and your business to make sure you survive? Well, I've got three for you... so, let's talk about that today. Hey everyone! Thomas Joyner with Business on Purpose here. In the crazy pace that most small business owners run, it's easy to run through a week, two weeks, a month, and never come up for air! There are sales to make, employees to manage, fires to put out, books to reconcile, invoices to send, voicemails to return, tech issues, supply chain issues, angry customers... and whose shoulders do almost all of that fall on? Yep, you guessed it... YOURS! So how do we make sure we're tracking the right direction. How can we grab a small ounce of perspective in the midst of the craziness? Well, I would argue that you can ask yourself 3 simple questions in an owners-only meeting with yourself and have a quick idea of if you're on track. So start by putting a 20-30 min meeting on the calendar with yourself. Don't cancel it for anything. If you need to bring in a key leader from time to time to get some different perspectives, that's completely fine. I would actually encourage it once a month or so, but cherish this time for the value it can bring to your business. Question number 1...      1. Are we distracted by anything? What a great question to start off with. It forces you to look back at your Vision and Mission. In the context of where we want to go and why we're going there, is there anything pulling us away from that? Services we're offering, problems that we need to solve, employees holding us back, things we need to say no to instead of winging it. Is there anything in our life or business that is preventing us from moving forward? Write those things down. Keep a list. And one by one, begin to eliminate them. I think you'd be surprised by what you come up with when you look back at your vision and mission weekly. I think it would prevent you from taking detours and keep you laser-focused on the goal.  Here's the thing, maybe you realize your vision is off... GREAT!!! Write down the updated Vision so that you and your team can run after it. Distractions hold you back, and if you label them weekly, you can push past and through them towards your mission.      2. What did I implement this week? We have so many ideas and thoughts every week. But what are we truly implementing? I have a client who is incredibly disciplined as a reader and podcast listener. He's an amazing learner, really consumes an incredible about of content, but struggles to implement the content. So... we made a new rule. After each bit of content, audiobook, podcast, keynote talk, or whatever. After each thing he consumes, he has to write down and implement 1 thing before consuming the next.  Because what good is it to consume the information if we're going to do NOTHING with it??? No, we have to be people of action. It's what brings freedom and impact to our businesses! So what if you set aside time each week and either wrote down what you implemented or wrote down what you were going to implement the next week? Maybe something from your 12-week plan? Good grief your business would change in 1-2 months! But we're so consumed with what's right in front of us, we forget to implement and forget to continue tweaking everything, every week.      3. Are we who we say we are? If you're brave enough to be honest with yourself, this question is a game-changer. Are we overselling and underdelivering? The answer may be yes or no. Or there may be areas where it's yes and areas where it's no. But this gives you the freedom to take an honest look at who you are and who you say you are. They NEED to match up!  Imagine these past two questions working together as you realize where you fall short and then commit to implementing something that would change that answer. That is powerful! That's building your business on purpose! So when are you sitting down and making time for these 3 questions? Who else needs to be asked these questions to help give you perspective.  I'd wager right now your business would transform if you had the guts to ask these every week for 4-6 months. It can't help but improve. Do it, be brave, and do it! Are we distracted by anything? What did I implement this week? Are we who we say we are? Thanks for listening, hey if you aren't already subscribed to our podcast and YouTube channel, please jump on that!

Republican Representative Maryann Miller-Meeks of Iowa led an effort to get the House to support making sure illegal immigrants test negative for Covid before being released into these United States. The vast majority of Americans support this. Here are the numbers: 90% of Americans show support. Breaking it down: 92% of Hispanics, 90% of Democrats, and 85% of Black Americans think it is a good idea. Yet not one Democrat House Representative voted to add this to a bill. The Democrats in the House of Representatives had an opportunity to show they choose the American citizen over the illegal immigrant- they failed. They have once again proven they do not represent We the People. What they have told the American People is who their true constituents really are- the illegal immigrants from other countries. Bards Logic has said for a long time the Democrats care more for those in other nations than the very citizens they are supposed to represent. The Democrats know they are losing support from JFK Democrats, minorites, and youths. They NEED to build a new constituency and they are willing to bring America down to do it. Unfortunately, there are also other events happening in America that the Democrats and some Republicans are allowing to happen just for the "history" of it. Get the full articles from this episode at the Bards Logic Newsroom Looking forward: Bards Logic has received the invitation acceptance of two primary candidates to come onto the program. These Republican candidates will be running against Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. Stay tuned for more details. Bards Logic is the Grassroots, We the People show.

I used to give a talk years ago where I would show all the things in my mom box - literally a cute little box that contained mom tools, common objects, to make my life simpler, make my parenting more effective, and items that would help the RELATIONSHIPS IN OUR FAMILY. Today, in Episode 74, "What's In My MOM BOX?" part 1, we’re opening up my Mom Box to find my favorite tangible tools for making motherhood more manageable. Some of the items that have been essential in my Mom Box have been items that REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF NEGATIVE NEWS THAT MY MOUTH HAS TO DELIVER TO MY KIDS. AND reducing negative news coming from me means better relationships! These tools are simple objects, but they are so helpful! By the way, many moms don't like delivering negative news, so they simply don't, but the truth is, OUR KIDS NEED TO RECEIVE SOME NEGATIVE NEWS. They need to experience flexibility, stick-to-it-iveness, diligence, disappointment. They NEED negative news to be a part of their lives. (Negative news such as, "You left out an important step when you did that chore," or "You owe me $5" or "It's time to come inside from playing" or "Everyone come help cleanup.") There's SO many things in a day that must be communicated that is not happy news. How can we still get those messages to our kids, without it requiring my mouth? This was my question, years ago, and so I was on a mission to identify ways to accomplish this goal. Thus was born my MOM BOX. What's Coming:❤Next week, Episode 75, we get to switch gears to items that INCREASE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT! Also next week, we will look at my "BRAIN BOOKS," and I'll tell you how you can make yours. I'm NOT talking about a craft project (trust me, I will never be teaching a craft project, not my skill set!). This is gonna be a game-changer for reducing overwhelm and stress in your life! I can't wait to share about my brain books with you! They aren't something you buy, they are a way of organizing your brain and all the things that you are trying to keep it that just won't fit!❤Episode 76 & 77 Listener Q&A with guest Dr. Amy Barfield (mom of two and one of the members of our Intentional Mom Strong Family community). In 76, we look at questions related to SCREENTIME, STRESS, and SLEEP issues. In 77, the entire episode will focus on listener questions about ADHD.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Episode 12, T.I.M.E. rather than TIMEOUT.Our Intentional Mom, Strong Family community is now in TWO locations: Facebook MeWeConnecting with Val to have her speak at a parenting or women's event or for Rich & Val to speak at a marriage event: emailVisit Val's website for her podcast, blog, books, and other resources, www.PracticallySpeakingMOM.com.Music by nathanharrison.music@gmail.com

SUPPORT ME ON PATREON WATCH MUSIC is not a GENRE VIDEOS and MORE Fake. Authentic. Sellout. Integrity. Judgy, aren't we? Yes, we are. We all know what's real & what isn't. What has value and what doesn't. What is substance and what is fluff. Except we don't. It's ALL an illusion. And ILLUSION is what I'll be talking about in the next few episodes of BOTH of my podcasts. All art is part truth, part trickery. Even the most authentic works – the ones drawn from direct personal experience – have artifice to them. They NEED to, or they wouldn't be art. It's right there in the freakin' word. I'll be getting more into this in Saturday's podcast. For now, let's talk about this week's pick, which might be the perfect entry into this conversation. If you remember Milli Vanilli, you probably remember two things, and in this order: 1. They were stripped of their Grammy because the blokes performing the songs on stage did NONE of the performing on the recording; and 2. Their album was a huge success, with several smash singles, including this one here, “Baby Don't Forget My Number”. It was one of five Top Five US hits, three of which went to #1. The songs were everywhere. I remember being on a bus at the time, and everyone on it was singing “Blame It on the Rain”. I'm pretty sure it was the only time I've experienced that with any group NOT in a music venue. Things you may not know or may have forgotten. The two dudes were Fab Morvan & Rob Pilatus. Fab is a French singer-songwriter, rapper, dancer & model. Rob was a German model, dancer & singer. They attempted some comebacks, the last of which ended when Rob died from an overdose of drugs & alcohol. Fab is still out there doing music, DJ-ing, and a bunch of other things. There have been scandals in the music & general arts worlds since forever. Plagiarism. Misplaced credit. Outright stealing. Not paying artists their due. Lip syncs that were supposed to be live performances. Etc. etc. But you'd be hard pressed to find one that was as big as Milli Vanilli. There have also been tons of deliberate fakeries. Artists recording music under other names, or writing for other performers under an alias. “Classic” or “vintage” songs that turned out to be completely made up. THEN there are the deeper fakes: artists pretending to be folk or blues or country through their work – some of them actually turning that fakery into darn near the real thing. I'll be getting more into the stuff in the paragraph in future episodes. But what about poor Milli Vanilli? What are we left with now? As always, you can probably guess my answer: THE MUSIC. I'm not excusing what the record company did, or who went along with it. And I'm quite happy that the real singers got their credit and some recognition (and money!). What I AM saying is that there hasn't been one scandal related to quality art that has ultimately taken away from how good or enjoyable the work is. Go listen to this week's song, or any off that album, and I guarantee the music will get you pumping. I enjoy a healthy helping of deliberate fakery. Here's one BIG one. Everything below is completely made up by me. Fake history, fake "old" song, fake bands. All of it. “Move Ahead, Long Boy” – https://youtu.be/LBvYPbisxmQ History of Modern Popular Music Using ONE SONG! – Live Concert - https://youtu.be/vID5aGZPugE --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nick-dematteo/support

" These people are unsinkable rubber ducks. They will stay in business no matter what I do or what anybody does, but at least some people will listen to what I have to say. The interesting thing is that I often get people to say, " Well, I guess they just want to believe." No. I correct that one word. They NEED to believe. Some people really need to believe in the supernatural." - James Randi (RIP August 7, 1928-October 20, 2020) Thank you all for joining us on the latest episode of Toad Joust.

In this episode I examine the absurd lib v. conserve narrative that runs 24/7. Can people really not see that the parties work TOGETHER? They NEED each other to pull off the scam. What does it take for people to see this? We've been locked down by BOTH parties. NOBODY in either party is saying it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Both parties completely IGNORE the limits of the constitution. But people KEEP making excuses for "their guy". Most people don't even know they don't have any constitutional right to vote for the President. That's how LOST they are. Every year regardless of which team is in office we get more govt, less freedom. How can anyone still believe in this system? The Quash comes out on Thursdays. Subscribe and listen to them all.

I met Robyn nearly 20 years ago, when we GAVE each other a high five. That one high five completely changed my life. Since it's #GivingTuesdayNow, I want to encourage you to GIVE someone else a (socially distant) high five. You'll make their day.  You might even completely change the trajectory of your life. Also, since it's Giving Tuesday Now, I want to encourage everyone to make a donation to charity TODAY. Of course, it's important to support COVID-relief efforts.  But I also hope you'll support the charities you would have supported before the pandemic. They NEED our help. COVID-19 did NOT cure cancer.  Or Parkinson's, Alzheimer's or Diabetes.   It doesn't educate children or provide clean water.  It doesn't protect our environment or animals. I know many of us are hurting personally. But nothing will make us all feel better than reaching out to help someone else.   Big thanks to Robyn for helping me learn this... and for changing my life. And big thanks to all of you for stepping up to rise to the challenge of this moment. #EveryMileMatters!

In this episode, Pastor Nancy explains what it means to be a person of godly influence. God and the people around you are watching you. Nonbelievers, seekers, new Christians and even seasoned Christians are watching you. They NEED to see that you are genuinely who you say you are. And if it’s true, they are contemplating how to connect with you on a deeper level, saving up all their questions to ask at just the right time. Prepare yourself to answer them. Also, keep yourself built up and consistent so that you don’t destroy all that you’ve built. Join us as we work to build ourselves and each other up in the Lord so that we are all able to consistently typify Jesus in a world where people are search for people like us to show them how to get here. Lord, help us all!!!

Toxic people--emotional manipulators--have an absolute need to win. They NEED to have power over you in order to feel safe in their world. That's their problem. Don't make it yours. To get power over you, Hijackals are masters of emotional manipulation. And, they serve it up two ways: smooth or aggressive.

Jones hasshared the stage with many industry greats including Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin.No stranger to pen and paper, Jones received a coveted Stellar Award for his crafty lyrics, superiorvocals and for lending his production talents to the gospel quartet, Canton Spirituals (Verity Records),garnering favorites, including “Never Let Go” and “They Need to Belong”. In conjunction with hiswriting, producing, recording and performance schedule, Jones added acting to his repertoire. Betweenalbum projects, he joined the casts of both “The Devil Made Me Do It” and “When a Woman's Fed Up”,touring across the nation for nearly two years. “We performed eight shows a week and I gradually sawmy skills improving,” he notes. “Learning to act has been great training for me as a performer.”Jones has had the opportunity to display both his talents and his patriotism, as he toured Iraq andKuwait performing for the troops who fight every day to protect our freedom.“Designed to reach a wide group of people” is how Jones describes his music. He sometimes observesthe people at his shows; they range from 30 – 60 and Jones knows they are there because he is true towhat he has established; a meaningful lyric, great melody and a very soulful and sincere sound. A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Jones fondly recalls, “Since the age of 4 or 5, I've always loved music.”Reared in the Pentecostal church, he often found himself risking punishment just to sneak a listen to thesecular sounds of Stevie, Bobby, Marvin and Donny, in particular. Heavily influenced by the sounds ofthe time, Jones formed his first group, “The Modulations,” at the age of fourteen and was laterdiscovered by the late, great gospel legend, Reverend James Cleveland.Although he initially made his mark in the gospel arena, Jones' voice caught the ear of acclaimedmusician, Norman Connors, with whom he toured and ultimately began performing R&B music. Havingofficially made the transition from Gospel to R&B, Jones joined the roster at RCA Records. Four yearslater, he signed with Jive Records and enjoyed success with his self-titled album, which spawned the hitsingles, “We've Only Just Begun (The Romance Is Not Over)” and “Stay,” respectively. His move toAtlantic Records produced contemporary up-tempo hits “Here I Go Again” and “I've Been Searching”.During 1998, Jones signed with SAR for the independent release of “It's Time”, which sold nearly200,000 copies, via a combination of internet, event and retail sales. In addition, the album included thehit single “Baby Come Home”, a Top 5 R&B single that was one of the Top Ten Most Played Records for2000, according to Billboard Monitor. Jones was overwhelmed by the success of this project and feelsblessed to have an underground fan base that has sustained his career for over two decades.In a recent radio interview Jones tells the story about being backstage at a concert in Chicago. He washaving a conversation with Peabo Bryson. Peabo told him Luther Vandross said, “There are only threeR&B Crooners, Luther, Peabo and Glenn Jones. I was like wow, really.”Marketing, imaging and sleek packaging aside, GLENN JONES clearly understands the dynamics ofcreating a solid vocal performance and has consistently delivered. “I've been in the game for over 30years, and I am blessed to still be doing my thing. I owe it all to the creator. My mother told me twothings that I'll never forget, and that is, my talent would make room for me, and that my life is in God'shands, and I believe that.”Jones is also the founder of his non-profit, The Love Jones Foundation (LJF), established in memory ofhis mother-Ella Lee Jones. The foundation provides educational programs to youth and music therapy tothe elderly.

Envy is real! Stay prayed up, pray for those who condemn you. They NEED it. Keep your karma clean. No weapon formed against me has ever prospered.

Do you have some lingering relationships ....that can be challenging …tear you down….cause grief…..have baggage…..long histories… ……these relationships can and DO zap our energy, steal our joy, drum up false beliefs about ourselves, and sometimes even stand in the way of achieving our dreams. Yes, addressing relationship stuff can feel overwhelming, but often remedies are simpler than you’d think if you know how to define the right fix. That’s why I’ve designed the Relationship Renovation Roadmap  I can’t wait to show you how!    Go to DefeatTheDrama.com/Roadmap to check it out! Have you ever heard Jeff Foxworthy’s  “You Might Be a Redneck if…..” lists? They are hilarious! Well, I’m going to start with something similar, but you may not find it so funny. I call it the You Might Be a People Pleaser if:  If you Constantly feel overwhelmed and scattered…..You might be a People Pleaser If you often feel unappreciated…..You might be a people pleaser. If you feel resentment towards most people in your life……you might be a people pleaser If everyone takes advantage of you….you might be a people pleaser…. If your life is filled with pushy people …….you might be a people pleaser If you just want everyone to be happy and will do almost anything to make it that way….You might be a people pleaser. If you rarely, if ever, ask anyone for help……you might be a people pleaser. If you often feel disappointed in others……you might be a people pleaser. If you’re afraid to share your disappointments or other negative feelings……you might be a people pleaser. If you aren’t even certain what having feelings means…You are DEFINITELY a People Pleaser! You tell yourself your friends, family members, employees, volunteers should just know what to do.  You stuff your feelings or are not even aware of them – Maybe you aren’t even certain what I mean when I ask about your feelings You minimize your own wants and needs You excuse or justify away your need to speak up I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had a people pleasing client tell me, I just want everyone to be happy.  I’m just really nice. But here’s the reality; People Pleasers don’t just want others to be happy.  They NEED others to be happy!  And most are actually controlling and manipulating their way to that end. Yep….It’s true!  Here’s the thought process: I want to be okay. I need you to be okay so that I can be okay. I will do whatever it takes for you to be okay. Doing anything can mean hiding true feelings, manipulating outcomes behind the scenes, having back hall conversations rather than speaking directly to anyone actually involved, avoiding tough conversations, lying or withholding information. And there are many unintended consequences, beyond the personal build-up of resentments, overwhelm, frustrations, disappointments, chaos that comes with trying to control the lives of everyone around you so that you can feel okay?  The lost energy spent to track modified messages, make things happen covertly, stuffing true feelings while plastering a smile. Yes, beyond these personal consequences are these: Unintended Consequences: You Rob Others of their Opportunity to Excel – They have no idea you’d like them to do better or be different.  By sulking in silence or complaining only to others you are robbing them of the chance to make a different choice. People can’t trust you: – Yep, that’s right!  Whether it’s deep down or something they know to be true for certain, those around you can’t trust your words.  You say you are fine, but are you really?  You say you can help, but will you actually show?  You say you’re happy with their achievements, but have they really done enough? Do you feel motivated to make the change that you must?  Here 5 Steps to Stop Your People Pleasing Collect the Pain: Begin to notice where you feel resentment, disappointment towards others.  Notice when you are overwhelmed and frustrated.  Pay attention to all the times you put your agenda aside for someone else’s emergency or request. Determine What You Want/Need:  It may have been a while since you thought about what you wanted.  Practice doing some check ins throughout the day. Determine whether you are pretending to be happy or if you really are. Start Speaking Up:  Begin saying no to requests where appropriate and start setting boundaries and asking for help from others.  Set clear expectations for your employees.  Provide constructive feedback where necessary. Gather Successes: As you speak up or say no and get a good response, take note.  Remember all the times that your feared outcome did not happen.  Start with people who are easier to speak with.  Then work towards tackling the People Pushers in your life. Build Momentum:  Continue to speak up as you build enthusiasm and feel empowered. Enjoy the feeling and keep going! Click here to view more information on the Relationship Renovation Roadmap

On this podcast episode I talk about raising private money from private lenders. Many beginners that don't have much money want to know the "secret" to raising money. The reality is that there is no secret. The secret is approaching investors in the right way and knowing how to find those investors. You see if you ask people who have money to invest with you, they will invariably say no. The secret that you need to understand is that you need to focus on what THEY NEED. They need security, and they need to know that you are going to pay them their interest payment every month, and they are going to need to know that their investment is safe and that they have collateral. And finally, they are going to need to know that you know what you are doing and that you have some experience. If you can show them those 4 things then you will have no problem raising capital.

Some of us work best behind the scenes; in support of the superstar who already has an established presence, mission, product or gift to share with the world, yet lacks the skills, time or energy to effectively spread the word or complete the essential tasks to bring the thing to its full potential. These people need a strong right hand man or woman. Someone they trust when the road gets rocky, the way forward unclear. Someone who'll tell it to them straight. Someone who can sort out the minutiae and map out the bigger picture, so that they can focus on creating the product. They Need "The Man (Or Woman) Behind The Throne" I've struggled to build a thing purely my own. For a handful of years, as I built the first version of this site and now this current one, I still had no idea what its clear goal was. What its purpose was, particularly when it came time to describe it to others. And I've struggled to create something new with similarly-minded folks, regardless of how well planned and regardless of how large the potential for success. When I try to build a stand alone item, it never pans out. You may then ask, "But what about this website and podcast Lord Kensington?" Ah, Grasshopper, this is where it gets interesting. This site and my spoken words are simply one half of a conversation. They're just me introducing myself to you in a digital format. They are the starting point from which I shed light on other unique folks. These tools and systems are how I give others a way to make noise about their thing. For people like me, this is almost magical. It relives us of the burden of trying to make the best use of what it is that makes us such spectacular Outsiders. I/We just have to share ourselves, like I do here, then leave the door open for the rest of you to join us. Then I/We will do all we can to scream the loudest to the world about all it is that makes YOU cool! What a relief to finally have figured out this one most illusive point. Subscribe To OJ Podcast!

Kris & Megan talk about the top 5 reasons your kids might have meltdowns and how to avoid them.    Avoiding Meltdowns at Disney Here are the top five reasons your kids might have meltdowns while visiting Disneyland or Walt Disney World.    They're Hungry/Thirsty Just because you're at the Disney Parks doesn't mean your kids will ignore their normal eating schedule. Keep this in mind and try to have snacks ready for their normal eating times if your next meal is going to be a little later than normal.    They're Tired Same thing here. If your young kids and babies are used to a nap schedule, keep this in mind. You may not be able to get them to nap at the parks, but at least it'll give you some understanding as to their behavior. We'd suggest having some "quiet time" and finding an out of the way area to get away from all the busyness of the park.    They're Hot/Cold Try to keep your kids body temperature in mind while you're at the parks. Especially if you're babywearing or if your kids are in hot costumes.    They Need to Run Around Sometimes your kids will need to get out and expend some energy. Especially if they've been sitting in a stroller or up in a baby carrier all day. Let them down to walk along with you if they're able or find a play area like Princess Dot's Puddle Park in DCA.   They're Overstimulated There's so much to see, smell, taste, hear, and feel at the Disney parks, it's easy for young kids to get overstimulated. Be aware of that and try to find ways where your kids can tune to the outside world, like in the stroller, or to be able to turn inward to you if they're being worn.    Come Join Our Facebook Group!

Do you recognize the names of Emmett Till, Melba Patillo, Gloria Ray, David Richmond or Ruby Bridges?   Perhaps you recognize some but not others. Perhaps none.   That’s okay. They weren’t seeking fame or fortune. They just wanted to get an education, vote or just eat at a cafeteria lunch counter. You might not know their names but they made a difference for all of us. In this podcast show, you’re gonna here EXACTLY what they did.   Hi, I’m Robin Lofton, the Chief In-house Historian and host of this great and groundbreaking show that can inspire YOU and your FAMILY with true stories, real experiences, practical lessons, cultural traditions, and fun celebrations—all inspired by African American history. I find history to BE inspirational, instructional and entertaining. And African American history fits the bill in all of these ways. Personally, I hate boring stuff. So boring stuff is not allowed at rememberinghistory.com or at this Wiki history podcast show.   This was planned as the third and final podcast in our series on civil rights and the civil rights movement. But the rememberinghistory.com team decided that a change was necessary: This show about student activists has been divided into TWO parts. Why? Because this is a FASCINATING topic (you’re gonna here some great stores) and we wanted to make it practical too. So we’ve added a section on ways that young people and students TODAY can also help to make changes and have an impact in their communities, the country and world. So, that’s what we’ll discuss in part II of the series.   In the previous podcast shows, we discussed lessons we can STILL learn from Martin Luther King. If you haven’t heard that show, I really encourage you to do so because there were great lessons—yes, we can still learn from Dr. King and it stirred up a lot of interesting discussion. Spoiler alert: The first lesson was called “be maladjusted.” People really had a lot to say about that and I’m sure that you will too. The other podcast show was about voting rights in America. Yes, there is still a lot of discrimination in voting—in deciding how districts will be formed, in the voter registration process, even directly at the polling stations. And we presented specific and doable ways to fight discrimination in voting. The types of voter discrimination actions were shocking but it was also an empowering show. So be sure to listen so that you are ready to fight for your right to vote. And, of course, we made great animated videos to summarize the issues and entertain you as well. You can find them at rememberinghistory.com and on our YouTube channel. Remember, we don’t “do boring” here so prepare to be entertained AND learn a little something useful.   Today’s show refocuses on the people in history: a very special group of people who participated—and gave special momentum—to the civil rights movement. Young people and students. I planned to focus on college students. Yes, they did a lot. But as I thought about it more, I remembered that high school students and even elementary school students played an important part in the movement. So, we gonna include them in this discussion too. You see, even a CHIEF inhouse historian can change her mind and learn something new.   This is a particularly important show. Often, young people feel they can’t make a difference that they can’t have an impact and that decisions are being made only by the adults. This show will prove that this is simply not true. And I hope that it will convince young people and students that they do have a voice and an important role to play in protecting civil rights or in any cause that they’re passionate about. That’s important to remember. While these shows focus on civil rights, there are many causes that need and deserve attention and action. But protecting civil rights is an urgent focus right now—perhaps now more than in any time since the civil rights movement of the 1960s. And this show will suggest some ways in which they can get involved in protecting the civil rights—of people of color, of the economically disadvantaged, of refugees and immigrants and frankly of any group under attack or suffering injustice. Remember those famous words of Dr. Martin Luther King: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”   Well, let’s get to the show, “The Youth and Students in the Civil Rights Movement”*           Is it strange of think of young people and students focused, committing and working for civil rights? If you find it hard to imagine that children were brave enough, that high school students were focused enough and that college students were concerned enough to work together for civil rights, then it’s time to grab a chair and get comfortable. Perhaps even grab your kids to listen with you. This is history at its finest! This is the story of young people from elementary school—the youngest was only 7 years old!—through the college who showed commitment and courage under fire. And the “fires” that they faced were real and deadly—beatings, dog attacks, imprisonment, threats, and yes murder as well. Yet these young people stood up for their rights to equality and justice—and they stood up for your rights too. In one youth-led movement in 1963, Martin Luther King told the students who had been jailed (in Birmingham, Alabama) : “What you do this day will impact children who have not yet been born.” Wow. Sooo true. And these kids DID forge a path for us. Stay tuned—remember in Part II, we will present ways that young people can continue to be involved in social activism and have an impact on kids that are not yet born.   *[Applause break here]   Many of the young people involved in the Civil Rights Movement actively joined and participated in the meetings, marches, demonstrations and other nonviolent activities to draw attention to their cause. Others became involuntary victims of the racist and oppressive culture of segregation. However, both groups—whether actively participating or involuntarily drawn in-- made an invaluable contribution to the cause.                         We are gonna begin today’s journey by discussing a name whom I hope is familiar. Very familiar. Sadly familiar. But don’t worry if it’s not because we’re learning here together. The name: Emmett Till.   Personally, I don’t remember the first time that I heard the name of Emmett Till. I must have been too young. But he was a name that was always deeply embedded in me—not the details of his horrific claim to fame. But the feeling his fate stirred up: sadness, anger, disbelief, fear. I’m sure that all of these feelings came from my parents and I picked them up as an impressionable child. But his name is a part of my life story. Why? Because ALL Black children could have been young Emmett. Actually, I know that there were other Emmetts but HIS terrible experience changed everything. I’m jumping ahead of myself. Let’s hear the story.   In the summer of 1955, Emmett was just like any other 14-year old Black kid. Just finished the 7th grade at his Chicago school. High-spirited. Fun-loving. Growing into manhood. Polite. Looking forward to a great summer. Adored by his mother. Emmett was especially excited because he would spend the summer with his cousins in Mississippi. Emmett had never visited the segregated south so his mother counseled him about how to behave around white people.   The rest of the story has become a sad legend. Emmett enjoyed his first few days in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi. Worked in the cotton fields during the day and played with his cousins in the evening. On his third day there, he went to a grocery store with his cousins and that’s when the trouble started. There is no clear account of what happened but Emmett might have whistled at the wife (who was white) who owned the store. A few nights later, her husband and brother-in-law went to house of Emmett’s uncle in the dead of night mind you, snatched Emmett out of bed and drove off with him into the night. Three days later, Emmett’s horribly mutilated body was discovered in a river. I won’t go into details, but young Emmett had been tortured, beaten and shot in the head. Witnesses recounted hearing a young boy screaming and calling for help from a barn. He was mutilated beyond recognition.         His grieving but brave mother firmly decided on an open casket at his funeral in Chicago. Thousands of mourners filed past the casket. Jet Magazine and several other Black publications printed the graphic photos of Emmett’s body. I have seen the horrific almost gruesome pictures and I will never forget them. Several of older friends actually went to Emmett’s funeral and viewed his body. I can see the pain and sadness still in their eyes—from 1955.   The murderers of Emmett Till were quickly tried and acquitted. I think that it took only an hour. Is that scenario familiar today? One of the killers even gave an interview to LOOK Magazine detailing how they killed Emmett.   Many people say that the murder of Emmett Till sparked the modern Civil Rights Movement. It brought light to the brutality and regularity of lynching in the south, the effects of segregation and the vulnerability of Black lives. Emmett Till could have been any Black man, woman or child in the Jim Crow south. African Americans demanded justice for Emmett. And young Black children and students were especially outraged and fearful because Emmett was only 14 years old so they connected with this movement perhaps feeling that their lives hung in the balance. The Civil Rights Movement was on—and young people were a committed and focused part of it. Emmett was not a voluntary student-activist but his name will be remembered as someone who started a movement.   The first real student-involved movement (that we’ll discuss) took place in 1957, just two years after the lynching of Emmett Till.   It involved 9 brave African Americans kids attempting to attend a white high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. These kids became known as the Little Rock Nine. Let’s back up just a bit to 1954.   The United States was in chaos. (More was to come, of course, but most people didn’t know that.) Interesting thing about history—it’s not the story of people living in the present. It’s the story of people living in the present, THEIR present. So, in 1954, many people didn’t know or didn’t accept that change prompted by the civil rights movement was looming in their future. Hmm…gotta think about that one. Anyway, in 1954, the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education had just been decided by the Supreme Court. The decision that desegregated public schools.   Remember that’s where we got the “separate but equal is inherently unequal” quote and that THIS violated the 14th Amendment. So, segregated schools were declared illegal and ordered to integrate “with all deliberate speed.” (another great quote). But many school districts especially in the southern states refused to accept this decision. They fought back. Some just ignored the decision and dared the federal government to try to enforce it. Others closed down schools rather than integrate them. Let’s jump from the immediate aftermath of the Brown case back to the summer of 1957, Little Rock Arkansas.   The NAACP (Arkansas Branch) was determined to integrate the high schools, beginning in Little Rock, the state’s capital. Daisy Bates, president of the Arkansas Branch of the NAACP recruited nine high school students whom she believed possessed the strength and determination to face the RESISTANCE to integration. During that summer, the students participated in intensive counseling sessions on what to expect and how to respond to the reaction from the white community--students AND parents.   Just before school opened in September, Arkansas Governor Oval Faubus ordered the National Guard to bar the African American students from entering the state’s schools. He claimed that it was for “their own protection” (quote. Don’t we hear that one a lot today?) The next day, a federal court judge issued a counter-ruling that desegregation would proceed.   As the nine Black students attempted to enter the school, a huge crowd of angry white students and adults as well as the Arkansas National Guard (ordered by the Governor) barred the students’ from entering. White protesters threatened the students, screamed racial slurs and spit on them. They were not able to enter the school that day.   Days later, the students tried to enter the school again with a police escort. However, more than a thousand white protesters appeared and again blocked the students’ from entering the building. President Eisenhower finally sent federal troops to enforce the integration order. Army troops actually had to escort the students to their first day of class.       But that wasn’t the end of the story. Protests against integration continued. The 101st Airborne Division stayed at the school to protect the students for an entire year. The nine kids faced verbal and physical abuse. One student had acid thrown in her face. Another was pushed down the stairs. The threats were constant and real. Both teachers AND students were hostile. But the kids survived and even thrived at their high school. All graduated and held distinguished careers. However, they only stayed at Little Rock Central High School for a year. The school board voted by 3 to 1 to close the school rather than officially integrate (of course, they cited budget cuts as the reason for the school closure.) But the brave high school students had stood up for their rights in a hostile and dangerous situation. Just imagine having to be escorted to school by federal guards. Imagine parents shouting ugly remarks at you. Imagine being spat upon, pushed around or down stairs, ignored by teachers and facing a large hostile crowd in the school cafeteria. This was definitely courage under fire and these kids deserve to be recognized and respected for their great achievement. And I want to say their names because they should become a familiar part of African American history:   Elizabeth Eckford Ernest Green Thelma Mothershed Melba Patillo Minnijean Brown Gloria Ray Terrence Roberts Jefferson Thomas Carlotta Walls   [Break for applause.]   By the way, during this podcast, you have heard and will continue to hear about people, places, events and issues. You will HEAR about them, but I completely understand if you want to actually SEE them, too. We got that covered on the Wiki History Podcast Page on Facebook. You will find pictures, animated videos and a community of history lovers. There is also a place for comments, which I hope that you will leave for us because we really appreciate them AND we do respond. Of course, we welcome all questions too.   Moving on…1960 was a BIG year for student activism. It’s really hard to know where to begin.   But I’ll adopt a “ladies first” position here—especially for this little lady named Ruby Bridges.   Ruby wanted to attend William Frantz Elementary School, which was an all-white school based in New Orleans. (I know what you’re thinking: you can’t have an all-white school because the Brown v. Board of Education case declared them illegal. Well, just like in Little Rock, the school boards were NOT going to give up their segregated lifestyle and institutions willingly. So the fight continued.) And little Ruby Bridges wanted to attend this school in her neighborhood school and for which she had passed a rigorous entry test. (This test had ACTUALLY been designed to screen out Black students and had been successful until Ruby.) So, she was excited to attend the kindergarten. Yes, that’s right little Miss Ruby Bridges was seven years old. She had to be escorted to school every day by 4 U.S. Marshals. She spent her first day in the principal’s office and watched as white parents removed their kids from school. A compromise was reached in which white students would return to school and Ruby would be isolated in a classroom on a floor separated from the other students. Only one teacher (Barbara Henry who was from Boston) agreed to teach her. For the remainder of the year, Mrs. Henry and Ruby would sit side-by-side going over lessons in the classroom. At recess, Ruby would stay in the classroom and play games or do calisthenics. At lunch, Ruby would eat alone in the classroom. Outside the school, the parents continued to protest against Ruby. One woman threatened to poison her every day. Another put a black baby doll in a coffin and left it at the school. Ruby said that scared her more than anything! Her father lost his job. Her mother was banned from shopping at the local grocery store.   This behavior seriously affected Ruby—as it would affect any 7-year old child. She began having nightmares. Stopped eating and started to have crying fits. She received counseling and gradually settled into a normal routine with the help of her teacher, Mrs. Henry. By the second year, Ruby started making friends and attending classes with the other students. Ruby attended integrated schools all the way through high school and went on to business school. (Interestingly, Ruby was reunited with Mrs. Henry on the Oprah Winfrey show.) That must have been an emotional reunion! Teachers really do make a difference. But it was Ruby’s strength and determination that helped her to succeed. Still--no one does it alone.   Remember to look for the pictures of Ruby Bridges and Barbara Henry on the Wiki History Podcast page on Face book. I’m really moved by two pictures of 7-year old Ruby marching into school escorted by 4 US Marshals. One is a real-life picture. The second is what has become an iconic portrait made by Norman Rockwell called “The Problem we all live with.”   We’re still in 1960 and now we have the Greensboro Four and their protest is marked as the beginning of student activism during the civil rights movement.   The group known as the Greensboro four was attending the North Carolina A & T State University. They were dedicated students who were fans of Mahatma Gandhi, believed in nonviolence and spent their evening studying and discussing current events. Like many other young people, they had been and still were deeply affected by the murder of Emmett Till 5 years earlier. They had also been very impressed and moved by the Freedom Rides in the Deep South led by the Congress of Racial Equality (or CORE). They acknowledged some progress but also recognized and refused to be distracted into thinking that this progress was good enough. Most businesses were privately owned and therefore not subject to federal law that banned segregation. They decided to take action.   On February 1, 1960 at 4:30pm, all four students walked into a Woolworth in Greensboro, North Carolina. Wearing their Sunday best, they sat at the whites-only lunch counter and requested service. They were denied. They continued to request service in a polite way but they were continuously denied by store manager. They were told to leave but they refused. Police were called but they didn’t arrest the students because they had not been violent or disorderly. Media arrived. Crowds developed. The students stayed at the lunch counter for the entire day until the store closed. Woolworth issued a statement to the press that it would continue to “abide by local custom”, meaning that it would continue to practice segregation.   The Greensboro Four went back the next day. More students joined the sit-in, this time from the Bennett College, which was an all-women’s college in Greensboro. Each day more students joined the protest—and it spread to other southern cities like Richmond and Nashville. By February 5th, hundreds of students joined in the lunch counter sit-ins. It paralyzed all business at the counter. The student protesters were verbally abused and threatened by white customers. THIS sit-in launched a nationwide movement at segregated lunch counters across the country. It also sparked a movement on college campuses that brought ATTENTION to the civil rights situation in the United States. The sit-in protests in Greensboro and other cities received lots of attention from the media and eventually the government. By the end of the year, many restaurants, lunch counters and privately-owned business had desegregated their facilities without any court action or marshals. And, yes, Woolworth in Greensboro also desegregated its lunch counters. Sit-ins were one of the most effective kinds of protests during the Civil Rights Movement. And it started with four intelligent, ambitious and civic-minded African American students and grew to more than 70,000 people protesting throughout the country. The protest ended on March 25th—lasting 5 months, 3 weeks and 3 days.   I absolutely love this story; it is SO inspirational on many different levels. The close friendship among the students. Their motivation, discipline and courage. Their education and reliance on a philosophy of non-violence and civil disobedience. The quick growth of the protests among college students who seemed ripe and ready to show their discontent and ability to fight for their rights. I could go on and on about this but I think that you see the same picture.* And because these students deserve our respect and have earned their place in history, I want to mention their names:   Ezell Blair, Jr. David Richmond Franklin McCain Joseph McNeil   *[Applause track here]       This story shows how a small but determined group can create a big and lasting change. As a follow up, although their protests were successful and many people praised them, both Black and White, all of the Greensboro Four had to leave the city because of harassment and death threats. They had been labeled as troublemakers so the local white population made life difficult and dangerous for the men to continue living there. Today there are several statues and remembrances of the protests initiated by the Greensboro Four. The February One statue of the four student-activists is located on the campus of North Carolina A & T State University. It is really moving. And you can find the original four lunch counter seats at the International Civil Rights Center and Museum in Greensboro. I also have pictures on the Wiki History Podcast Facebook page. I strongly encourage you to see them. I’m sure that you’ll be moved too.   Our last group of student-activists (in Part I) took the fight for civil rights to another level—the international level. They forged a CONNECTION with the civil rights movement in the United States and the anti-colonial movement that was sweeping across the continent of Africa. But I’m jumping ahead of myself; I’m just so excited to talk about this group. The group’s name: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (or SNCC). Let’s start at the beginning.   Still--in 1960.   In April, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) sponsored a conference on student leadership and nonviolent resistance. This conference was partially initiated by the sit-ins in Greensboro and other cities. 300 students attended that conference. These students (who acted as delegates and observers) witnessed the formation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. SNCC was born!   The members of SNCC joined the Freedom Riders that were sponsored by CORE (remember, Congress of Racial Equality). The Freedom Riders would take people all over the southern states to test the public facilities at the bus stations. However, the Freedom Riders started facing VERY intense attacks and violence. Buses were burned. People were assaulted with baseball bats, bombs and other weapons. Because of these attacks, in 1961, CORE suspended its Freedom Rides. SNCC decided to start running its own Freedom Rides. A SNCC member said, “There was so much at stake, we could NOT allow the segregationists to stop us. We HAD to continue that Freedom Ride EVEN if we were killed in the process.” So SNCC started making its own Freedom rides into the southern states.After numerous members of SNCC were beaten, tortured and imprisoned on false charges during the Freedom Rides, the government was forced to intervene and repeal the segregation laws that regulated interstate public transportation. SNCC had won—but at a great cost.   But the students wanted more. Their next campaign was for voting rights, which they started in 1963. Their slogan “one man, one vote” became the cornerstone of SNCC’s programs. SNCC demanded universal suffrage in the United States, continuing to parallel the efforts in the U.S. with the efforts taking place within the anti-colonial struggle in Africa. These were some serious students!   SNCC continued its sit-in protests and also met with the Oginga Odinga, the president of the newly independent government of Kenya. The racist image of the United States that SNCC’s work showed to the world was a sharp contrast to the picture of democracy painted by the politicians in Washington. And this became a problem.   In 1964, SNCC embarked on its most challenging effort with the Mississippi Summer Project. SNCC joined with other civil rights organizations in the state. (Like the SCLC and church organizations.) The coalition mobilized nearly a thousand volunteers from northern universities to travel to Mississippi to organize an independent Freedom Democratic Party and to register thousands of African Americans to vote. This was the famous Freedom Summer. The white protesters (including Klan members, law enforcement, policians and members of citizen’s councils) responded to SNCC’s civil rights activities with murder, beatings and imprisonment. If you’re wondering, this WAS summer that Cheney, Goodman and Schwerner kidnapped and killed were killed by police and the ku klux klan. More young lives cut short for trying to register Black voters. Unfortunately, the Freedom Democratic Party was never seated at the National Democratic Convention in 1964 and universal suffrage wouldn’t be guaranteed until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, but the work by SNCC brought many more people into the movement for political and economic equality.   Because SNCC had gained a high level of prominence from its consistent work and many successes, the student organization was invited to send a delegation to tour several independent countries in Africa during the fall of 1964. They visited the Republic of Guinea and received a special invitation to meet President Sekou Toure. One of SNCC’s leading members, John Lewis also visited Kenya, Zambia and other African countries. After this important trip, SNCC created an international affairs section, which made a powerful presentation before the United Nations Committee on Decolonization. The role of SNCC during this period illustrated the interconnectedness of the African American struggle for equality and the struggle for independence by the colonized countries on the African continent. Independence, equality, and civil rights were now expanded beyond U.S. borders into an international movement on two continents! Wow. That is huge! Students took the struggle to a new level—as only young people can do!   But SNCC never lost sight of its commitment and work in the cities, small towns and rural areas of the south, working with farmers and young activists on a daily basis to fight for civil rights.   SNCC was a strong and sophisticated organization. It took political activism to a new level while always staying true to its vision. And its members bravely put themselves in harm’s way to demand the right to vote and to demand equality in housing and education. They even faced the issue of police brutality together with its close ally, The Black Panthers. (Did you know that the Black Panthers’ full name was the Black Panthers for Self-Defense?) I just have to give a big shout out to the Black Panthers (who were made up mostly of young people and students) for their efforts in the civil rights movement and for Black empowerment. Everyone had a role. But I want to mention just a few names from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee:   Ella Baker Marion Barry John Lewis Kwame Ture Julian Bond   [Applause here.]*   Julian Bond, who was a former founding member of SNCC and eventually served in the Georgia Senate and House of Representatives, remarked, "a final SNCC legacy is the destruction of the psychological shackles which had kept black southerners in physical and mental servitude; SNCC helped break those chains forever. It demonstrated that ordinary women and men, young and old, could perform extraordinary tasks."   This wise statement applies to all of these student and youth activists. And we’ll definitely see this in the next group of young people. Then in Part II, you will learn ways that YOU can make a positive difference in your own town, country or even the world. And, yes, it IS possible!   We’re gonna go back in time and back down south to Birmingham, Alabama, 1963. There was no Civil Rights Act. No Voting Rights Act. Segregation was still the law in many states in the south and whites fiercely defended this way of life in Alabama. Dr. Martin Luther King, the SCLC, SNCC and other civil rights organizations and churches are DETERMINED to release the racist grip that the Ku Klux Klan, law enforcement, white politicians and citizens’ councils hold on the city. In Dr. King’s words, it was a true symbol of “hard-core resistance to integration.” [pause]* May 1963. Birmingham, Alabama is “ground zero” in the fight for civil rights.   Civil rights leaders needed to take a stronger and more radical approach to their nonviolent protests. So, they decided to request the help and participation of students. They approached high school students and college students to volunteer in a march. And the students stepped up the plate. The students were trained in the tactics of non-violent resistance. Thus began the famous, never-to-be forgotten Children’s Crusade.   On May 2, 1963, 800 Black students skipped school and gathered at the 16th street Baptist Church, awaiting for instructions. They marched 10 miles to downtown on a mission to meet with Birmingham Mayor about segregation. As the students approached city hall, singing songs of freedom, they were corralled by police and arrested. Hundreds were put into paddy wagons and taken to jail.   But that wasn’t the end.   The march would eventually include 3,000 children.   The next day, May 3rd, the march resumed. But this time it was NOT met with a peaceful response. Police were waiting for them with clubs, water cannons and police dogs. The Birmingham Public Safety Commissioner—the infamous Bull Connor--ordered the men to immediately attack the students. They released the dogs and sprayed the students with the water cannons. The scene turned from a peaceful and quiet march of students singing along their way to city hall into a violent scene of terror with kids scattering and screaming as they were beaten and attacked by dogs.   The media captured the violent attack against the unarmed youngsters. Videos were shown around the country, actually the world. White-owned businesses and the white residents of Birmingham were criticized and ostracized by people across the country. On May 10, city leaders agreed to desegregate businesses and public facilities. It also captured the attention and sympathy of the President Kennedy who felt then compelled to public support federal Civil Rights legislation, leading to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Oh, yeah, and Martin Luther King negotiated having Bull Connor removed from public office!   The Children’s Crusade was an essential part of the Civil Rights Movement. Not just because it happened in what was called the “most racist city in the South.” But also because the children were so determined and focused. They were prepared to face violence. Many of the adults didn’t want to face arrest and imprisonment so they refused to participate. (Please understand that I’m not making any judgments about them.) But the kids were simply fed up and refused to back down. Many of them were arrested multiple times, had been beaten on numerous occasions and faced expulsion from school. Yet they kept coming back in greater and greater numbers. Why would they do that? Here are the words of one of the high school student activists:         Jessie Shepherd, then 16, was soaking wet (from the fire hoses) when she was loaded up in a paddy wagon. “I was told not to participate,” says Shepherd, now a retired clinical diet technician. “But I was tired of the injustice.”     “I couldn’t understand why there had to be a colored fountain and a white fountain,” says Shepherd. “Why couldn’t I drink out the fountain that other little kids drank out of? As I got older, I understood that’s just the way it was, because my skin was black, and we were treated differently because of that.” So she marched.   And that march changed the nation.   As we end Part I of this podcast show on student-activism in the civil rights movement, I would ask that if you participated as a student-activist in this march or any of the numerous other marches, sit-ins, Freedom Rides or any other protests, please contact rememberinghistory.com and tell your experience. We want to hear YOUR story. Please add your story and experiences on the comment page. Or you can send me a personal email message to robin@rememberinghistory.com. And please tell your story to YOUR children, your nieces, nephews and other children that you. They NEED to know that young people and students CAN make a difference. That they HAVE power and influence. And knowing YOUR experience and knowing African American history (no matter about yours or the child’s cultural background) shows proof of the power that young people hold in their hands.   On that high note, we will turn to present ways that YOU can get involved, ways that YOU can help. I hope you’ve seen that everyone can contribute. And that everyone has reserves of strength and courage that they probably never knew existed…until they are called to show it. That’s exactly what the young people and students did during the Civil Rights movement. And the young people and students TODAY also have the strength and courage to make a positive impact in the lives of their families, communities, the country and even the world. And, as 2017 begins, it IS clear that strength and courage as well as integrity, passion and vision are going to be needed. As Dr. King remarked, what they do now will impact children who have not yet been born. Please join us in Part II to start making an impact. We have reached the end of this podcast show. Are you feeling inspired? I really am! And I hope that you too.   Please remember to look at the Wiki History Podcast page on Facebook so you can actually SEE these brave kids and for really candid scenes of their experiences. I have deliberately decided NOT to put the mutilated picture of Emmett Till on the page but you can find a picture of him as a promising and eager young man who was the apple of this mother’s eye. You will also see other scenes from Money, Mississippi. And definitely don’t miss the picture of Ruby Bridges being escorted into school surrounded by federal marshals.

How can YOU have a positive impact?   Recognize that there are major problems and challenges around the world. Some problems that existed and led to the Civil Rights Movement STILL exist. Problems like discrimination in voting, education, job and housing still exist. Police violence, poverty and cultural and religious intolerance STILL exist. There are more than * refugees around the world. The environment is under threat. I don’t want to even try to list all the problems on a worldwide scale, but I just recognize that the world is a far from perfect place. There’s a lot that you can do to have an impact. But awareness is the first step.   Get your education. Learn history. The rememberinghistory.com team is committed to keeping history alive and spreading the word so that we can avoid the mistakes of the past, learn the lessons of great people from the past. The world needs more people with education and insight. This doesn’t only mean an “academic” education. Learn a trade. Develop a skill. Read a lot. Okay, these were 2 good ways to prepare yourself to save the world. Now, let’s look at some specific things that you can do.   Do you have a cell phone? Well, you can use it to document racist behavior, threatening behavior or anything that is unacceptable. The camera on your phone can save a life. Remember, the world would never have known about the police beating of Rodney King. You can also use your phone to call for assistance from family, friends or the police. Trayvon Martin used his phone to report that he was being followed. Your phone can be a powerful tool.                                                         After the first discussion:   Also, if you enjoy this show, please let others know about it.
