    Bake sales to pay for printing newspapers. College administrators, step up. Your basketball team isn’t selling donuts. You have enough money for the things you value most. News isn’t a luxury item. Pay for it.

    50yrs ago tonight, as I was exiting our Catholic church, someone from the parking lot shouted: “They've killed King! Martin Luther King is dead!" A cheer arose from some of the all-white crowd exiting the church. It burns in my memory to this day. Thank you Dr King. We carry on

    "... you don't see pavement in front of you through the windshield. You see sky, like you're on a moon shot, blind to what might be coming at you from the other side of the mountain."

    LA had a street that even the iPhone can’t conquer. Its simply was not built for the Model T not Waze. Great.

    I’m really tired of the Sun-Sentinel publishing these stories using only tweets and no actual interviews. This isn’t real journalism. It’s sensationalism.

    50 years ago today, I learned the painful news that my friend, my mentor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis, TN. He was my brother, my leader--that day it felt like something died in all of us.

    Not sure why has special reservations center for groups of 15 or more reservations. I called & was basically told to book individual vans online for my group of 23. I'd have to book 4 vans & use different names so online system won't reject my reservations. 🙄

    Martin Luther King Jr walked out to the balcony of Lorraine Motel in Memphis and spotted jazz saxophonist Ben Branch. "I want you to play 'Precious Lord' for me tonight," he told Branch. "Play it real pretty." Then, a shot rang out.

    We must continue to educate future generations about the past so we can build the future. Let's honor Dr King's legacy by continuing to fight injustice, hatred and inequality.
