THE WAY WE LIVE: By sincerely admiring beauty, you become
more beautiful. When you truly appreciate the creative works of others, your
own creativity grows stronger, act with respect toward others, and you'll develop
a deeper respect for yourself and your own possibilities. Be generous with
those around you, and you'll find that life is more generous with you. God is
bringing forth the new me and you. Who is emerging now, that was sent to me.
PHILLIS WHEATLY (1753-1784) One of the better known poets of
the colonial period in American history was Ms. Wheatly. Kidnapped from Africa at the age of nine and brought to American as a
slave, the family gave her their name. When Phillis became ill the master took
her to England
for her health. While in England
she began to write poetry, She wrote a poem to George Washington-- "His
Excellency, George Washington." Washington
invited her to visit him at his Cambridge
headquarters. She was the first American to use the word "Columbia" in speaking of our country.

As we end the month of February where we take the time to
celebrate "Black History" let us not forget the shoulders that stand
on. Let us remember every day who we are, we are a great people. Take the time
and find out who you are visit your local library and read about our
forefathers. I will leave you with this. In 1950, Dr. Ralph Bunche received the
"Nobel Peace Prize" for his work in settling a dispute in the "Near East". A scholar, government official and a
member of the United Nations staff, Dr. Bunche has worked to make this world a
better place in which to live for people of all races and nationalities. He
grew up in poverty, shining shoes and selling papers to help his family. Ralph
Bunche was the valedictorian of his Jefferson
High School class, Los Angeles. While working as a janitor, he
graduated with highest honors from the University of California.
He earned a Ph.D. degree from Harvard
University. Dr. Bunche
was chairman of the Political Science Department of Harvard University when
called to work in the United States State Department in 1944. From 1946 he
served the United Nations in many different roles. During his career he
received forty honorary degrees from different colleges and universities. This
is proof of the high respect in which he was held throughout the world.
