Bidding Farewell to @NBCBlacklist is a bit emotional. What an act by #JamesSpader. He took the show to another level. His wisdom, smile, and caring for other people even though he is the biggest criminal is heartwarming. His friendship with Dembe, Harold, is adorable. #Blacklist

@fuzzybleu I know there are a few shows I am saying goodbye to this month but none like this one❤️🔥💯

[Linda Rose @fuzzybleu]

@Earls1Selma I've watched it over & over. It was so very good. So surprising. But I will miss the Blacklist more than I have ever missed any show. The cast, the crew, the writers, it was a once in a lifetime series. I'll be spending a lot of time on Netflix. Heart felt thanks to all of them.

[Linda Rose @fuzzybleu]

Wonderful episode this week. Cannot believe it is almost over. I will miss James & company so very much.

[Jane @Jane57524038]

For 10 years I have watched a TV show called “ Blacklist”starring James Spader
I have never missed an episode.
Tonight it ended.
In a true Red Reddington fashion.
I find myself.Sad.
It was a beautifully written, acted & cast series.
Goodbye,thank you for hours of enjoyment

This ending will be hated by some; loved by some; always the two extremes. But it was a perfect ending wasn’t it? Red raged for the beauty of life and picked his end. His way. Always. #TheBlacklist

[LORD TECHNO @KenAllah]

#TheBlacklist ending was so good but I hated it at the same time. How could Red go out like that. I get that they didn’t want the “bad” guy to get away but damn. For real y’all why not? #blacklist will be missed. Shout out to the entire cast and crew for 10 awesome years! Thx ❤️

@shakerbaker1 @JS1974_ I think he looked at the bull & saw death, his death. He left his gun behind, forgotten or deliberate? We'll never know. But he didn't try to get away. He didn't run, he just stood his ground & stared death down. That was truly Raymond.

[Linda Rose @fuzzybleu]

@JS1974_ He did know & somehow the bull was fitting. I have watched the last three episodes over & over. But I am hanging. What about Dembe? Harold? That wrachet Nixon? Ressler? Was he really Raymond or not? Weecha? Agnes? I can't stand it. I cried my eyes out but have no closure. 💖♠️

Country singer Dolly Parton wrote the songs "I Will Always Love You" and "Jolene" on the same night.
When the first song was at the top of the charts in 1974, Elvis wanted to record his own version of the song. Dolly was interested until Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis' manager, said that it was standard procedure that when the king of rock and roll covered a song - half of the rights to that song would go to him in the future.

She refused it.

"I said, 'I'm really, really sorry' and cried all night. It was terrible for me, on the one hand, it's Elvis. People told me: "You are crazy." It's Elvis Presley...' but I just couldn't do it. Something told me in my heart not to do it and I didn't. I know he would rock with that song. But I couldn't. And then Whitney Houston came along with her version and I made enough money from the rights to buy Dollywood."

She grew up in severe poverty and no one famous has done more for the education of the poor than her.

In 1990, the percentage of students who did not graduate from high school in her hometown was over 30%. She introduced the "Buddy Program", where all high school graduates received a nice sum when they graduated. It wasn't just a waste of money, she personally came and explained the concept to them - everyone should find a buddy, and whoever doesn't succeed she will find one for them. Everyone had to sign that they will graduate and do everything in their power to ensure that their buddy also graduates. She taught young people about friendship and helping.

The number of school dropouts dropped to below 6% and has remained so until today.

When 900 families lost their homes in the 2016 fires, she paid each family $1,000 for the next five months. When she came to the bank to finish the paperwork, she gave each family another $5,000 to find. A total of nine million dollars.

Also, her work - Imagination Library from 1995, was inspired by her realization that young people in rural areas and poor families already fall behind when they start school and that this prevents them from pursuing higher education. The goal of her program was for every child in her district to receive one book, once a month, from birth to school, completely free of charge, without any conditions. It started as an initiative in her hometown and has spread to a huge number of countries around the world.

By 2018, over 100 million books were distributed in this way.

She is also known for her witty statements, at the beginning of her career she said:

“I'm not offended by jokes about stupid blondes because I know I'm not stupid... and I'm not really blonde either.”
