  Do you remember this scene from the roots series. News of nat turner’s quest for freedom reaches a nearby plantation where there’s a party . during the hysteria the white men decide to defend the home and put the women in the cellar for safety. Wouldn’t you know the house negroes were all in a tizzy and just as frightfully hysterical. They were about to enter the cellar when one of the white women literally slapped them back to reality and refused to let them enter. Remember the bridge incident during katerina.  This  is for all you who think you are accepted.]]></description>

Introduction


Back in the 60s when there was much social and political ferment in our communities, many of those involved in "The Struggle " were regularly reading writers like Frantz Fanon, Stokely Carmichael, W. E. B. Dubois, Walter Rodney, Malcolm X and a host of others to use as references to make points during the heated public discourse that occurred.  ]]></description>

Dear Ebony:
        I have read in detail the report presented to the governor of the state of Michigan purporting to be from the Detroit financial review team dated March 26, 2012.  And in so reading, bear in mind that the preparers of this document have information which is not been made available to the Detroit City Council or others who may have a different point of view.]]></description>

Dear Members of the Detroit City Council;
 
I am writing to ask that you not approve the decertification of the City of Detroit Human Services Department (DHS) as requested by Maura Corrigan, Director of the Michigan Department of Human Services.
 
Based on Corrigan's testimony before Council on March 2 we know that if DHS is decertified that her intention is to permanently disqualify Detroit from ever running DHS programs again. ]]></description>

Can Michigan offer advantages over other states, or even other countries, to encourage people to locate here, or discourage current residents from moving? Should someone live in Michigan? Can people prosper in Michigan? Does Michigan exhibit the best qualities as written in our countries constitution?]]></description>
