Did you know???

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Me at the Reading and Meeting event Friday 1/16 at The Writers Grotto. The focus on personal change, growth, and learning resonated with each of the 50 attendees. Thanks fellow readers Alyssa Gonzalez, Tamiko Wong, Shirley Huey, the MC Susan Ito, and host Swetha Amit.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

Thursday, November 27, 2025: Sunrise Service at Alcatraz
It was Cali-cold (mid-40s)
When we arrived, marched up the hill
passed the sign Welcoming Indians
United Indian Property - Indian Land
has seen better days #sunriseservice #NativeAmericanHeritage #alcatrazisland

Thursday, November 27, 2025: Sunrise Service at Alcatraz

Up to the top, 6:15-ish
Chants, Dances, Prayers, Speeches, Song
We held our heads and hands up
welcoming and thanking our sol
Huddled masses yearning to breathe free
Exhaled smoke signals
For all peoples

@Ford_Nick yes ... and I don't see any celery in that beef stew - that also belongs in beef stew.
