Where were you?

Danny J. Bakewell Jr. (Contributing Editor)July 2, 2009

In life there are moments you never forget where you were when It happened. I often hear of the older generation speaking about remembering exactly where they were when they heard that Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy were killed.

Well, the premature death of the â€˜King of Popâ€™ Michael Jackson is now and forever will be added

Fannie Lou Hamer

Fannie Lou Hamer If Fannie Lou Hamer were alive today, the 2008 presidential campaign would bring tears to her eyes and a smile to her face. She would have been able to rest for a while, take a deep breath and pause, and get ready to continue fighting. If Hamer’s life story was not told there would have been wide historical chasm created in the struggle for human rights not only in Mississippi, but also throughout America where people of color have been systematically disenfranchised because their right to vote had been denied. She would also be outraged about the
