Obama Breaks Down in Tears at Dorothy Height's Funeral
Posted on 30 April 2010
WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama broke down in tears at the funeral of 'Godmother' of American civil rights movement Dr. Dorothy Height in Washington today.
Obama was weeping openly as he watched the service for Dr. Height who changed the course of history by standing up for the rights of the Blacks in America along with her comrade-at-arms Rosa Parks.
Mr Obama watched as Dr Height's coffin was carried into the cathedral, and said he was here because of her as he took the podium to deliver the eulogy for Dr Height today.
The US president was joined by his wife Michelle, and Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the service.
Dr Height died last week at 98 after a long illness. She was a pioneering voice of the civil rights movement who remained active and outspoken well into her 90s.
Dr Height led the National Council of Negro Women for decades and marched with the Rev Martin Luther King Jr.
"You're NO whackjob" the male TX Teacher angrily rebuked me in front of his students.
for 12 minutes or so all the whats, whys, wherefores about the Vigil I got the usual
question - "Has President Obama ever come out to talk to you?" My standard
reply - "I think the Pr. Obama is FAR to smart to come out to see me.
Have you heard of Fox News? How much do you think Fox News would
love to have a photo of Pr. Obama here talking to some whackjob with
tattoos on his face, SO THEY COULD HURT PR. OBAMA?"
"YOU ARE NO WHACKJOB," the male TX Teacher angrily rebuked me in
front of his students.
Have I ever received a stronger affirmation?
Fw: If you think you are unhappy....
If you think, you are unhappy. . ..

If you think you don't have many friends. . .

If you think you suffer in life,
Do you suffer as much as he does?
If you complain about your transport system . . .
If your society is unfair . . . .
Enjoy life, how it is, and as it comes, there are always those who are worse off than we are.

Daniel from Ind: "how many 10s of thousands of people you've touched deeply...."
maybe 10 months ago, and who remains a friend on Facebook:
"I was walking around downtown Indianapolis the other day, and I
saw this group of artists doing a street installation. We started chatting,
and it turns out they're from DC. I asked them if they knew about
you, and they lit up and said yes. Out of 300 million people in this
country! We had fun speculating on how many 10s of thousands
people you've touched deeply. :)"
Also:
"Just wanted to let you know you're on my list of "heroes." Of the ten
I listed, you, Dean Kamen and Bill Moyers are the only ones alive. :)
My Heroes

I replied:
"Daniel, your kind words of encouragement mean an enormous amount to me.
I've been given sooooo much that I so desperately wish the share. Thanks.

Of course, to them I'm just another type of tree, or bush,
uh, make that tree; one that at times dispenses peanuts,
but it is pretty magical none the less. Most are pretty
skittish, but some are kind, gentle, nice. Just now
one lightly leaped onto my lap as I was typing, sat there
for a moment, as I typed, and then as I moved my hand down
to the bag by my side where the peanuts were, he casually
strolled across the keyboard to see what I was getting
him, erasing my work.
Thoughtless.
Hmmmmm. Secret Service? Nah.
Plop, he lands on my arm, he just came for another.

NYPost: Homeless man rescues woman, takes her knife wounds, left to die by passersby.
Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax, a Guatemalan immigrant, was the kind of person people in New York ignored. He was dirty and homeless, but it didn't mean Tale-Yax wasn't human. It seems, actually, he was a pretty good guy. When a woman was attacked by a knife-weilding man in a short-sleeved green shirt and green hat, Tale-Yax, 31, leapt into action. He paid dearly for his heroic effort after he was stabbed. After falling the ground at 144th Street and 88th Road in Jamaica, Queens, around 5:40 a.m. on April 18, many people walked by him without doing anything to help. He laid there, first bleeding in pain and then motionless, for more than an hour, as dozens of people walked by, nobody stopping to help, according to a surveillance video obtained by the New York Post. One person even took what appears to be a photo with his cell phone before leaving Tale-Yax,... |

The 6 weeks for SL's neck is 1/3 up!!!!
understand. There are hours that are relatively pain free,
and many hours of almost totally frozen neck, and extreme
headache. My focus remains good, but my time, energy
and hours are being significantly shortened. Again, please
try to be patient with me.
I see no indication that there is any long-term damage.
I see now that my resting computer postures for the last
15 months have been destroying my neck (duh). I've slipped
a disk in my neck, or something like that, and almost
always such problems heal themselves in about 6 weeks. I'm
1/3 of the way there!
Your Loving brother,
