NYC'S DELUGE OF RAIN. FB family and friends, I'm OK. Growing up in Chicago I am used to harsh weather. But trees falling down after heavy rain is extremely problematic. Thanks for all your text messages of concern.

The West Indian American Day Parade, one of Brooklyn's  biggest celebrations, captivated tens of thousands yesterday.

Steelpan and calypso bands in elaborate costumes marched down Eastern Parkway. It was mighty hot, the temp and all.

Saturday, at the March on Washington, I was most impressed with the large number of youth voicing their commitment to fighting for justice and equality - a continuation of Dr. King’s vision.

MARCH ON WASHINGTON - ON MY WAY! This March continues the original March on Washington for jobs and freedom some 60 years ago. Join us @ 11 o'clock at Lincoln Memorial to fight against white supremacy and to uphold our collective values of freedom, equality and justice.

Saturday, all roads lead to nation’s capital for the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington. The unified march, led by Rev Al Sharpton and MLK III, will be a collective response to the vitriol, rise in hate crimes,attacks on civil rights/protections and threats to democracy

WORKING OUT. It is so difficult for me to hit the fitness centers of tropical resorts and fancy hotels when I vacation. I wonder why?
