I found this paper in my grandmothers basement years ago. It is very aged but goes into great detail about Lincoln's assassination,John Wilkes Boothe, and the Immancipation proclimation and how this was brought up to congress 37 yrs. prior to Lincoln freeing the slaves but was turned down .I really feel that this should be in a museum but at the same time, I could really use some extra cash. Any answers would begreatly appreciated and researched as well. Thanks for all answers.

Or how nature works, How the sun goes down and the moon rises. Or how many planets there is. Or how does man come to be. Because you had to have a beginning of man. To have a baby you must have to two indivisuals. No big explosion could have created all things. Or no man could have been once a animal. look how the earth works, the deep meanig of life. From within. Why people love. What is life deep meanings. Who can say why people love.

I have lots of pictures which I want to display in my bedroom and my drawing room.
Instead of buying frames, I thought I would create a collage instead.
One of my friend suggested that I use foamboards to create a collage.
I bought 2 foam boards today.However, I have absolutely no idea as to how to mount it on the wall and decorative tips to stick pictures on the board.
Do any of you know of any website which will give tips to do the same?

Note: I have absolutely no artistic sense (if I were to rate myself, I would give myself 1/10). So I desperately need tips!

"Slam"


Catcha wiff of rum~n~coke
approachin’ through backstage doors
Sweat runs into my eye
{shake it off}
so, I do

Hussy flies by me, tears streamin’
{booed off stage a time or two?}
Her boyfriend answers her call
{I’m on now}
{H’er goes nothin’}

“Streets hold and hide
concealed visions of what could’ve been
Ideas flown by
Summer skies
Winter nights
and souls of sin

Pound that pavement poet!
Reveal your visions from deep within!
Ideas, don’t hide!
Summer skies
Winter nights
time to begin...”

Palms clammy, I let go the mic
a solitary clap sounds
followed by many
{I’m flattered}
so, I bow

Hussy’s still sittin’ back stage
Her mobile lays broke by her feet
H*ll, she really ain’t all that bad
{I’m on now}
{H’er goes nothin’}

My friend wants me to sell this Tinkerbell figure on E-bay but neither one of knows if its bronze or cast iron. It looks like it can be bronze so how can we be sure? The figure was given to him years ago from a person who was employed at Walt Disney for 25 years. The Tinkerbell figure they gave him marked his 25 years at Disney so he's thinking it's worth something.

"Barter"
by Sara Teasdale
Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up,
Holding wonder like a cup.


Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for one breath of ecstacy
Give all you have been, or could be.

Please. Read:

Some of that "generation" could survive until the end of the century. But there are many indications that "the end" is much closer than that! (Watchtower 1984 Mar 1, 18-19)

How many will accept the invitation? John's vision recorded in Revelation 7:9 had to become a reality. He saw "a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands." With confidence in the vision's complete fulfillment during the decades of this 20th century the anointed remnant of the bride class have never let up in saying "Come!" Every effort has been made to broadcast the message to all nations. (1989 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses p. 3)

The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be concluded in our in our 20th century. (Watchtower 1989 Jan. 1 p. 12)

For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee, CFP of Harvard Financial Educators, was reading one morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn’t hear it, this is very deep. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote it.

“THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.

Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, “The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book.” We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.

GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%).

Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing.

They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, And they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them “Status” or that they have achieved their Dream.

They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities.

With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he doesn’t want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before!). They’ll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to them.

SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture. A “Talented Tenth” he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some “form” of success.

However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn’t read that the “Talented Tenth” was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner.

They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal. Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in their community.

They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM).

They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms.

Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are “helping” their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don’t worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, ‘THEY DON’T READ!!!!”
