Ode to Rosa Parks
Another hero of the civil rights movement died this week. Oprah Winfrey eulogized Rosa Parks by saying that as a child when her father told her about a colored woman who refused to give up her seat; in her child's mind she thought she must be really big. "I thought she must be at least 100 feet tall. I imagined her being stalwart and strong and carrying a shield to hold back the white folks. And then I grew up and had the esteemed honor of meeting her, and wasn't that a surprise. Here was this petite, almost delicate lady who was the personification of grace and goodness."

Karma or Fate
Call it fate or Karma or God's will but at different points in my life I've found myself presented with jobs or opportunities that have changed my life forever. My present job is proving to be one of those life-changing experiences.
Tribute to a Trail Blazer
Mothers aren't always right, case in point, Constance Baker's mother wanted her to be a hair dresser. Instead, Constance Baker Motley went on law school and became the first black woman appointed to the federal bench and the first black woman elected to the New York State Senate. Motley died last week of congestive heart failure in New York City at the age of 84. She was one hell of a woman. Thank God, she defied her mother and followed her heart and spent 20 years with the NAACP's Legal and Educational Defense Fund serving as a law clerk to the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was then the NAACP's chief counsel.
