ABOUT THE BOOK
NATE PERKINS LIVE! is a compilation of six talk radio shows, including a DVD of four commercials, an info-commercial and photographs of family, friends, military comrades and mentors, newspaper and magazine articles about Perkins, information technology and businesses he created.
The six talk shows entail Perkins’ philosophy regarding education, employment, politics, the military and community.
We’re at a crossroad! Talk to me about the ways in which the Tom Joyner Morning Show degrades our parents, children, spouses, gays, military, employers, politicians, educators by making jokes about and laughing at the black community.
We’re at a crossroad! Talk to me about the limitations of sports being played by black men in the nation’s schools, which fail to require academic excellence along with prowess on the football, basketball and baseball fields. Should we outlaw sports in order to get our children a better education?
We’re at a crossroad! Talk to me about politics and military service. Why shouldn’t we admire Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas and Condoleesa Rice, when they fulfill the Dream of Martin Luther King, Jr. and so many other African Americans who died for the right for people like them to be in positions of authority and power in the United States Government?
We’re at a crossroad! Talk to me about information technology that is speeding so far ahead of the black community that dotes on sports superstars rather the education of young black men.
We’re at a crossroad! Talk to me about blacks who hide out in the black neighborhood as Democrats but vote Republican and share in the wealth of the community behind closed doors.
We’re at a crossroad! Talk to me about black entrepreneurs who discourage each other from hiring young blacks for fear of stealth, absenteeism and lackadaisical behavior.

AMERICAN HOMELAND A True Story By Nate Perkins
A local son becomes the country's hero by doing his job to protect his homeland, the United States of America.
"War on Terrorism"
In January 2000, only 21 months before the 911 attack on the United States, Lieutenant Colonel Nate Perkins, Chief of Information Assurance Program Manager at the United States Army Forces Command, Fort McPherson, Georgia, was interviewed by Stephen Willingham of National Defense Magazine, for an article, entitled "Network Security Training Needed", an analysis of the state of military security in our country with regards to focusing on 21st Century Cyber Warfare. The article begins by acknowledging that Perkins and other U.S. military officials in charge of information technology programs believe that soldiers operating computer networks and telecommunications networks for the Defense Department should be specially trained for "Cyber Battles" the same way that troops are prepared for combat.
In 1976, LTC (R ) Perkins received his Associate Degree from Cowan College, NC. He entered the U.S. Army in 1979, after graduating Winston-Salem State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health and Physical Education and a Minor in History. He received a Military Science Degree in R.O.T.C. from Wake Forest University, NC; and a Master’s in Information and Technology Science and General Studies from the University of Texas, at Killeen. In 1989, he graduated from Command and General Staff College, KS. Also, attended National War College and Information Warfare in Washington, D.C.
He assumed the position of Information Operation Officer, Defensive-Information Warfare (IW-D) Division, Command, Control and Communication Systems Directorate, Headquarters United States European Command, Stuttgart, Germany on 20 July 1995
Perkins is the grandson of an army veteran who fought in two wars. He was born on December 23, 1955 in Greenville, North Carolina. His sister Nutricia was considered a prodigy, but she died of cancer at the age of 18, before she could take advantage of several scholarships she was offered by Yale, Harvard and other Ivy League schools. She was forced to repeat her SAT Exam because the Board of Education did not believe her high score on the first one.
During his 50 years of living as an American-born citizen. American Flag has become the symbol around which Perkins' life revolves, during his 50 years of living as an American-born citizen. He served at the highest level of our government in the field of Telecommunications and Information Technology (IT) Warfare. His leadership started as Captain of his high school football team, basketball team and track team. Nate was a flag bearer in school parades and loved to salute the America flag. He attended college for five years, where he was a cadet in U.S. Army ROTC Program.
Perkins joined the army and was told that he wouldn't rise above 2nd Lieutenant and would spend no more than two years in service. Twenty-six years later, he is a Combat Disabled Retired Lieutenant Colonel, who has moved his wife and two daughters around the world with him. He is highly decorated and retired with the honors of a wounded soldier for his country. He planned of telecommunications systems and networks in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain locations supporting the Gulf War.
While serving this great nation, he participated in and was disabled in the first Gulf War. Nate's command oversaw Information Warfare for the military. His emphasis was on Information Assurance and Telecommunications Networks. He was responsible for publishing the first United States European Command Defensive-Information Warfare Plans for Bosnia and Herzegovina , and for protecting telecommunications networks on foreign fronts. The area of responsibility (AOR) of the United States European Command covers more than 21 million square miles and includes 91 countries and territories. This territory extends from the North Cape of Norway, through the waters of the Baltic and Mediterranean seas, most of Europe, parts of the Middle East, to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
Wounded in the Gulf War, LTC (R ) Perkins participated in the Gulf War Syndrome Study held in Walter Reed National Medical Center, Washington, D.C. making him almost completely bionic. He has had neck collar bone replacement, and a plastic right wrist, back and hip.
Disabled Retired, since January 2005, Perkins has written a book on his entrepreneurial endeavors in the State of Georgia and the state of education, the military, politics, employment and terrorism in the Black community with drive-by shootings and black-on-black crime.
This is the story of one of America's heroes, Disabled Retired Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel "Nate" William Perkins.

Googleonomics by Nate Perkins
A WORD from the Economist Novelist www.trafford.com/05-2800
When Bruce Batchelor, CEO of Trafford Publishing Company started the self-publish book, many in 1995, Bruce was a self-published author who decided to do something about the ongoing “How do I get published?” problem. Then, Bruce and writers set up Trafford Publishing technology as a vehicle to help new authors self-publish. Bruce, along with his friends, introduced the revolutionary concept of “On-Demand Book Publishing” to minimize cost and inconvenience.
Now, the conventional publishing companies coexist in harmony. No one thinks twice about using whichever one is appropriate. It would be silly to enter into a debate about which is better, the digital on-demand publishing or the conventional publishing. They serve different functions. If I want Googleonomics simplicity in saving time and money to get published, I use the digital on-demand book publishing way. If I want to go to the gatekeepers of publishing books then the conventional way is to get publish.
Think of digital print-on-demand publishing as Googleonomics. Those big publishing houses in New York City are the conventional publishing companies. One isn’t better than the other; they are just different. But all writers, even self-publish purists would do well to consider using both. Sure, I still reach for the conventional way and I submit most of my books to those New York publishers. I always receive rejection letters but I keep trying because I share that elusive dream of fame, fortune, and Oprah! Guess what? They reject 98 percent of the books submitted to them. Picking up that conventional way of getting publishes becomes harder and harder, when I know a paper cut awaits me at the end.
That’s why I authored “Googleonomics“ book. No, the conventional way for publishing is not going out of business, but I wanted to help my fans and readers get the word out about simplicity digital self-published books with on-demand publishing. Like the world’s foremost search engine site, provides a new economic marketing opportunity for you and your book--at no cost to you. Google’s new innovative service is called Google Book Search and it will allow people researching a topic on the Internet to see a few pages of your book. Google will provide a “Buy this book” link to on-line book retailers, including Amazon.com, Trafford’s bookstore and the IPTVBOOKSTORE.COM on-line bookstore.
Yes, nearly every book I write I submit to New York publishers. But every book I publish, I submit to Trafford Publishing. And Bruce will publish your book, too. It is Googleonomics, simply a matter of using all possible resources, and it doesn’t have to be a choice.
Thanks with Respect,
Nate Perkins

REVIEW
Googleonomics: provides a good start-to-finish economics process to become an Google’s Adword, Ads, blogger, vlogger, and Google’s Book Search to have your book digital printing, and an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) Producer and includes interviews and blogging on how to become self-study. While no single section is overly detailed, the Current TV Studio section is nicely laid out with step-by-step advice for managing conversations and making selling ads and Internet videos (Vlog) for the IPTV connections.
If you have the overall producer job search process under control, you may be ready for a close look at Google’s search engine for copyrighting digital books, bloggings, vloggings and your pod producer skills. After all, as anyone will tell you, it’s the Google’s ads and Current TV pods that get the “Green Light”. Googleonomics is a great and Simple to read! A Strong Buy! A must for media, mathematics, economists, authors, bloggers, vloggers, producers, entrepreneurs at heart.
One tale after another that readers will enjoy. I give it a green light or five stars without a doubt. You will find yourself devouring it in no time, after you pick it up. Combat Global Warning. Was this review helpful to you?

THE DREAM DESPITE THE NIGHTMARE
By Elayna Monts
In 1712 a slave owner from the West Indies named Willie Lynch gave a speech to the colony of Virginia. The Virginia slave owners requested Willie Lynch, because they were having problems controlling the slaves at the time. Mr. Lynch had devised a plan that was guaranteed to control black slaves and it was working in the West Indies. His speech follows in its entirety.
The 1712 Speech by Willie Lynch
Gentlemen:
I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank you, The Gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with your slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies, where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods of control of slaves.
Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boats sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King whose version of the Bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along its old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion. I caught a whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, gentlemen, you know what your problems are: I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems.
I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for controlling your black slaves. I guarantee every one of you that if installed correctly, it will control the slaves at least 300 years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any overseer can use it.
I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies and it will work throughout the south. Take this simple list of differences, and think about them.
On top of my list is "Age", but it is there only because it starts with an "A": the second is "Color" or shade, there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantation, status on plantation, attitude of owner, whether the slaves live in the valley, on the hill, east, west, north, south, have fine or course hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences. I shall give you an outline of action-but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect or admiration. The black slave, after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self re-fueling and self-generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.
Don't forget, you must pitch the old black versus the young black, and the young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark skin slaves versus the light skin slaves and the light skin slaves versus the dark skin slaves. You must use the female versus the male and the male versus the female. You must also have your white servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. They must love, respect and trust only us.
Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control, use them. Have your wives and children use them, never miss an opportunity. My plan is guaranteed, and the good thing about this is that if used intensely for one year, the slaves themselves will remain perpetually distrustful.
Thank you gentlemen. Are remnants of ol’ boy Willie’s methods still in use today? How many times have you heard someone say??..“so and so has “good hair”? What did that mean? “Good hair” being the closest thing to Caucasian hair? How about the observance that Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rica and Clarence Thomas “speaks well?” Speaks well a compared to whom? When OJ was on trial how many shades of the same picture did you detect? For me, it was easy to tell where each component of the media stood, as to his guilt or innocence, simply by the shade of that same picture seen over and over again. The darker the shading, the more “evil” the portrayal intended. How many of you have fallen victim to ol’ Willie’s “experiment”? 300 years later can we honestly say that we have overcome his instructions on that day centuries ago? It seems that his prediction I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly, it will control the slaves at least 300 years” was not so far off the mark!!
Hmmmmm
I pray that as you read the following, you will bear in mind ol’ Willie’s “instruction” to those who congregated to learn his “technique” of controlling you. I pray that you remember that the lesson was not simply learned by the whites attending this “riverside seminar” but was taught to whites and blacks alike throughout the centuries. The “lesson” is so skillfully ingrained into our psyches we forgot where it came from and accept it as the norm. I pray that we revisit our thinking, motives behind our actions and revise the manner by which we treat our brothers and sisters remembering that our “beliefs” may very well have been well-established before our birth.
Moving from hate to love, I recently read “Where Do We Go From Here?” a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered in August 16, 1967, Annual Report Delivered at the 11th Convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, in which he addressed this issue. He stated: His ultimate aim was to bring the Negro into the mainstream of American life as quickly as possible”.
Where do we go from here? ( www.googleonomics.com ) First, we must massively assert our dignity and worth. We must stand up amidst a system that still oppresses us and develop an unassailable and majestic sense of values. We must no longer be ashamed of being Black. The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.
Even semantics have conspired to make that which is Black seem ugly and degrading. In Roget’s Thesaurus there are 120 synonyms for blackness and at least sixty of them are offensive, as for example, blot, soot, grime, devil and foul. And, there are some 134 synonyms for whiteness and all are favorable, expressed in such words as purity, cleanliness, chastity and innocence. A white lie is better than a black lie. The most degenerate member of a family is a ‘black sheep.’ Ossie Davis has suggested that maybe the English language should be reconstructed so that teachers will not be forced to teach the Black child sixty ways to despise himself, and thereby perpetuate his sense of inferiority, and the White child 134 to adore himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of superiority.
The tendency to ignore the Negro’s contribution to American life and to strip him of his personhood is as old as the earliest history books and as contemporary as the morning’s newspaper. To upset this homicide, the Negro must rise up with an affirmation of his own Olympian manhood. Any movement for the Negro’s freedom that overlooks this necessity is only waiting to be buried. As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free. Psychological freedom a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery. No Lincolnian emancipation proclamation or Johnsonian civil rights bill can totally bring this kind of freedom. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation. And, with a spirit straining toward true self-esteem, the Negro must boldly throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and say to himself and to the world, ‘I am somebody.’ I am a person. I am a man with dignity and honor. I have a rich and noble history.
How painful and exploited that history has been. Yes, I was a slave through my foreparents and I am not ashamed of that. I am ashamed of the people who were so sinful as to make me a ‘slave.’ Yes, we must stand up and say, ‘I’m Black and I’m beautiful,’ and this self affirmation is the Black man’s need, made compelling by the White man’s crimes against him.”

It would be silly to enter into a debate about which is better, the digital on-demand publishing or the conventional publishing. They serve different functions. If I want Googleonomics simplicity in saving time and money to get published, I use the digital on-demand book publishing way. If I want to go to the gatekeepers of publishing books then the conventional way is to get publish.
Think of digital print-on-demand publishing as Googleonomics. Those big publishing houses in New York City are the conventional publishing companies. One isn’t better than the other; they are just different. But all writers, even self-publish purists would do well to consider using both. Sure, I still reach for the conventional way and I submit most of my books to those New York publishers. I always receive rejection letters but I keep trying because I share that elusive dream of fame, fortune, and Oprah! Guess what? They reject 98 percent of the books submitted to them. Picking up that conventional way of getting publishes becomes harder and harder, when I know a paper cut awaits me at the end.
That’s why I authored “Googleonomics“ book. No, the conventional way for publishing is not going out of business, but I wanted to help my fans and readers get the word out about simplicity digital self-published books with on-demand publishing. Like the world’s foremost search engine site, provides a new economic marketing opportunity for you and your book--at no cost to you. Google’s new innovative service is called Google Book Search and it will allow people researching a topic on the Internet to see a few pages of your book. Google will provide a “Buy this book” link to on-line book retailers, including Amazon.com, Trafford’s bookstore and the IPTVBOOKSTORE.COM on-line bookstore.
Yes, nearly every book I write I submit to New York publishers. But every book I publish, I submit to Trafford Publishing. And Bruce will publish your book, too. It is Googleonomics, simply a matter of using all possible resources, and it doesn’t have to be a choice.
Thanks with Respect,

THE DREAM DESPITE THE NIGHTMARE
By Elayna Monts
In 1712 a slave owner from the West Indies named Willie Lynch gave a speech to the colony of Virginia. The Virginia slave owners requested Willie Lynch, because they were having problems controlling the slaves at the time. Mr. Lynch had devised a plan that was guaranteed to control black slaves and it was working in the West Indies. His speech follows in its entirety.
The 1712 Speech by Willie Lynch
Gentlemen:
I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank you, The Gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with your slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies, where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods of control of slaves.
Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boats sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King whose version of the Bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along its old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion. I caught a whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, gentlemen, you know what your problems are: I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems.
I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for controlling your black slaves. I guarantee every one of you that if installed correctly, it will control the slaves at least 300 years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any overseer can use it.
I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies and it will work throughout the south. Take this simple list of differences, and think about them.
On top of my list is "Age", but it is there only because it starts with an "A": the second is "Color" or shade, there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantation, status on plantation, attitude of owner, whether the slaves live in the valley, on the hill, east, west, north, south, have fine or course hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences. I shall give you an outline of action-but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect or admiration. The black slave, after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self re-fueling and self-generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.
Don't forget, you must pitch the old black versus the young black, and the young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark skin slaves versus the light skin slaves and the light skin slaves versus the dark skin slaves. You must use the female versus the male and the male versus the female. You must also have your white servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. They must love, respect and trust only us.
Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control, use them. Have your wives and children use them, never miss an opportunity. My plan is guaranteed, and the good thing about this is that if used intensely for one year, the slaves themselves will remain perpetually distrustful.
Thank you gentlemen. Are remnants of ol’ boy Willie’s methods still in use today? How many times have you heard someone say??..“so and so has “good hair”? What did that mean? “Good hair” being the closest thing to Caucasian hair? How about the observance that Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rica and Clarence Thomas “speaks well?” Speaks well a compared to whom? When OJ was on trial how many shades of the same picture did you detect? For me, it was easy to tell where each component of the media stood, as to his guilt or innocence, simply by the shade of that same picture seen over and over again. The darker the shading, the more “evil” the portrayal intended. How many of you have fallen victim to ol’ Willie’s “experiment”? 300 years later can we honestly say that we have overcome his instructions on that day centuries ago? It seems that his prediction I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly, it will control the slaves at least 300 years” was not so far off the mark!!
Hmmmmm
I pray that as you read the following, you will bear in mind ol’ Willie’s “instruction” to those who congregated to learn his “technique” of controlling you. I pray that you remember that the lesson was not simply learned by the whites attending this “riverside seminar” but was taught to whites and blacks alike throughout the centuries. The “lesson” is so skillfully ingrained into our psyches we forgot where it came from and accept it as the norm. I pray that we revisit our thinking, motives behind our actions and revise the manner by which we treat our brothers and sisters remembering that our “beliefs” may very well have been well-established before our birth.
Moving from hate to love, I recently read “Where Do We Go From Here?” a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered in August 16, 1967, Annual Report Delivered at the 11th Convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, in which he addressed this issue. He stated: His ultimate aim was to bring the Negro into the mainstream of American life as quickly as possible”.
Where do we go from here? ( www.googleonomics.com ) First, we must massively assert our dignity and worth. We must stand up amidst a system that still oppresses us and develop an unassailable and majestic sense of values. We must no longer be ashamed of being Black. The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.
Even semantics have conspired to make that which is Black seem ugly and degrading. In Roget’s Thesaurus there are 120 synonyms for blackness and at least sixty of them are offensive, as for example, blot, soot, grime, devil and foul. And, there are some 134 synonyms for whiteness and all are favorable, expressed in such words as purity, cleanliness, chastity and innocence. A white lie is better than a black lie. The most degenerate member of a family is a ‘black sheep.’ Ossie Davis has suggested that maybe the English language should be reconstructed so that teachers will not be forced to teach the Black child sixty ways to despise himself, and thereby perpetuate his sense of inferiority, and the White child 134 to adore himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of superiority.
The tendency to ignore the Negro’s contribution to American life and to strip him of his personhood is as old as the earliest history books and as contemporary as the morning’s newspaper. To upset this homicide, the Negro must rise up with an affirmation of his own Olympian manhood. Any movement for the Negro’s freedom that overlooks this necessity is only waiting to be buried. As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free. Psychological freedom a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery. No Lincolnian emancipation proclamation or Johnsonian civil rights bill can totally bring this kind of freedom. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation. And, with a spirit straining toward true self-esteem, the Negro must boldly throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and say to himself and to the world, ‘I am somebody.’ I am a person. I am a man with dignity and honor. I have a rich and noble history.
How painful and exploited that history has been. Yes, I was a slave through my foreparents and I am not ashamed of that. I am ashamed of the people who were so sinful as to make me a ‘slave.’ Yes, we must stand up and say, ‘I’m Black and I’m beautiful,’ and this self affirmation is the Black man’s need, made compelling by the White man’s crimes against him.”

Excerpts: Chapter Six
Why Katrina, Rita and Wilma Came to our Country?
-- Allegory of Easter, Christmas & "The Son"…
From earliest times mankind has depended upon our great central Orb, the SUN, and center of our planetary system to create and regulate all life on our particular place of residence, the Earth.
To those who cared to do their own thinking and analyzing, the Sun governed with unfailing accuracy the length of the days and seasons in every clime. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter followed each other with such regular punctuality that man attributed divine power to the Sun which never ceased bestowing food and warmth through the productivity of the Earth.
To the thinker, the Sun rescued man from the severities of the Winter months and therefore was considered a Savior; and as life was re-activated in the Spring, the Sun assumed the role of a Creator; and then as the Great Preserver in the Summer and Autumn months as food and comfort were supplied to fortify and provide for man's future.
Through the ages, and among most peoples, as mankind came to realize its complete dependency upon the Sun, this magnificent "Orb of Day" became the Great Benefactor or "the son" of God and the center of Worship, by priestly direction.
The part played by the Sun is most strikingly to be observed in the Christian Religion. For demonstration's sake, let us assume that the story of Christ, as expressed in the modern text, is a parable for the Sun's activities. The birth takes place on the 25th of December. The Sun in its annual circle through the signs of the Zodiac, or the months of the year, shines upon the Earth in regular orderly manner between the Tropic of Cancer on the North and the Tropic of Capricorn on the South. December 21st of each year the Sun reaches its lowest point of declination at the Tropic of Capricorn.
It then remains, seemingly motionless (Sol, the Sun, "stands still" Sol-stice) the 22nd, 23rd and 24th, and then on the 25th of December (Christmas) it has noticeably started its return North toward the Equator and therefore is "born again". (Perhaps this metaphor will be more easily grasped when the phenomenon of the New Year replacing the Old year is represented by the tableau on the stage by a young child's entering as an old man exits on the opposite side).
In Christianity, Jesus (i-ES+us, the one ES-sence or the Sun), born again every December 25th, is portrayed as a babe because at that time of the year its power is weak. Beginning December 25th, the Sun's northbound progress is depicted in the increase of daylight; that is longer and longer days until on the 21st of March, the Vernal Equinox, when the Sun has reached the Equator, the length of the days and the nights is equal.
On the 25th of March the Sun has progressed Northward into the Northern Hemisphere and has therefore impregnated that section of our globe with the fertile seed; and plant life activity becomes more visible everywhere, in our part of the world.
This natural annual occurrence on March 25th checks accurately with the religious story because exactly nine months later, December 25th the son (Sun) is born. Astronomers tell us that one-minute after midnight on December 24th the constellation Virgo rises above the horizon with its bright star, Vindimiatrix (located in the figure's elbow), of major propensity and clearly to be seen, gives evidence of the birth's being virgin.
Referring again to March 25th the days begin to be longer than the nights thus signaling the triumph of "Light" over "Darkness". This physical astronomical phenomenon is celebrated in the Christian churches by the designation of a particular Sunday called Easter.
In symology-- the Moon is considered the wife of the Sun and therefore Easter, at present, is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 25th of March, (the Spring Equinox) that is, after the Sun crosses the Equator. (Nine months later in the religious story, the "Holy Mother" has the child).
The Summer Solstice, when the Sun has reached the Tropic of Cancer in its northern trek, takes place the 21st through the 24th of June, and on June 25th the days begin to grow shorter as the Sun's path (the Ecliptic) descends Southward to the Equator which it crosses the 25th of September.
In the religious story-- this is called the second crucifixion at Golgatha where the god is crucified between two thieves and mention is made of the presence of a handmaiden. (Virgo, the Virgin). After this the Sun's journey continues Southward to the Tropic of Capricorn, which it reaches on December 21st and the annual phenomenon is repeated. (The ever repeating "Crucifixion of the Lord, the SUN)!
Just as children would continue to believe in the myth of Santa Claus, so would, and so do human grown-ups believe in the priestly concocted religious stories until they, the humans, turn their searchlights of thinking and reasoning upon what they have been "fed" since birth and compare them rationally and reasonably to the phenomena of Nature occurring continually before their eyes.
"Ye Shall Know The Truth: And THE TRUTH SHALL SET THEE FREE!" Just as the 20th Century was accurately designated by W. E. B. DuBois as "The Century of the Color Line" or Racism, so do we see the 21st Century as "The Century of 'The Truth' about the World's Religions".
But it will not take a full century with today's technology to fully disclose the truth which will in turn bring about the Earth truly turning into "A Garden of Eden" with Mankind clearly recognizing the same Central Energy pulsating through all that lives! (And everything is alive!) A Strong Buy!

C E L E B R A T I N G H E R S P I R I T I am convinced that if I had not had a wife with the fortitude, strength and calmness of Coretta, I could not have stood up amid the ordeals and tensions surrounding the Montgomery movement. I came to see the real meaning of that rather trite statement: “A wife can either make or break a husband.” Coretta proved to be that type of wife with qualities to make a husband when he could have been so easily broken.

On this 25th Anniversary of the founding of the King Center, in presenting my sister Corretta Scott King, I have chosen not to chronicle her achievements in the traditional sense. Certainly the majority of you in this audience already know many of them. We all know that she has been the driving force behind what the King Center has become and what the Federal Holiday Commission has achieved as a great spiritual festival. My objective is to try to stimulate you to think about the event which we have been celebrating for the past ten days in terms of what the King Center is, why it came into being, and where it should lead us as the human race continues to evolve towards greater heights of spirituality. Many of you are probably familiar with Richard Bach’s allegorical book entitled Jonathan Livingston Seagull. In searching for fresh ways to present the meaning and purpose of the Center, I got caught up once more in this piece of writing. The book is about freedom and perfection as these terms apply to high achievers. In many ways, its protagonist, a seagull, reminds me of Coretta and Martin. The seagull’s consuming passion is for freedom and perfection—not only for himself, but for all seagulls. At one pointe in this piece, Jonathan’s three most outstanding qualities are named: he is special, he is gifted, and he is divine. These qualities enabled him to accomplish more than his fellow birds. By being special, gifted, and striving to follow the divine side of his nature, Jonathan becomes an extraordinary leader and teacher. But in time, this fact creates problems for him. He is misunderstood; some of the time he is called a devil, other times, a god. But Jonathan never gives up. He continues to work tirelessly and unrelentingly to overcome his own limitations in achieving freedom and perfection and to teach other gulls to deal with theirs. This meant, among other things, changing their level of consciousness. Jonathan strives to see the good in everyone of his fellow gulls—and to help them see it in themselves. Jonathan says, “it all boils down to learning to love.” This is what Coretta Scott King’s life and the mission of the King Center are all about—Love in Action.
February 7, 2006 As mayor of the City of Atlanta and on behalf of the people of Atlanta, I offer heartfelt condolences to Yolanda, Martin, Dexter, Bernice and the entire King family on the loss of our sister, Coretta Scott King. We will miss her quiet, courageous activism and strength but her legacy and contributions to human rights and social change are timeless. A woman whose faith allowed her to stand for what was just and right, she spoke out against war in the name of peace; she cried out against discrimination in the name of equality and she changed the world in the name of freedom. Coretta Scott King once said, “I learned that when you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone, because you will have divine companionship and the support of good people. This same faith and cosmic companionship sustained me after my husband was assassinated, and gave me the strength to make my contribution to carrying forward his unfinished work.” On behalf of the people of Atlanta, while we mourn with you now, we know that you will find peace in the memory of her lifetime commitment and contributions to carrying out Dr. King’s unfinished work. (The Scott’s first child, Eunice, died at the age of four.) Mrs. Scott said that her children would go to college even if she had only one dress to wear and she frequently admonished her children to “get an education and try to be somebody. Then you won’t have to be kicked around by anybody. If you want clothes and other material things, get an education first, and if you still want these things, you can have them.” Coretta grew up in Mount Tabor A. M. E. Zion Church where both her parents served in multiple capacities. Her father was Chairman of the Trustee Board and succeeded his own father as the preacher’s steward. Her mother served as deaconess, stewardess, and pianist for the choir in which Coretta often sang solos. Coretta, as did Edythe and Obie Leonard, had a good singing voice and learned to love and appreciate music at an early age. Coretta began working for a white cotton farmer at the age of ten. She dug long rows, making sure the width of a hoe was between each stalk. When the puffs were ready, she worked as a cotton picker, making from four to five dollars a season. She once picked 200 pounds of cotton a day earning an astonishing seven dollars. She learned in the cotton fields not only to endure tough situations, but also to overcome them. She was known to consistently pick more cotton than her male cousins. By the time she was fifteen, Coretta was director of the youth choirs. Her favorite past time after a day of hard work in the fields was winding the Victrola while the family sang and singing while her mother played piano. Her talent for music was fed by the unusually large collection of records the Scott’s owned which included spirituals, gospel, jazz and blues. For Coretta, Lincoln High School opened new worlds of thought. She developed a compelling drive to be somebody and to serve God. She sensed her service would come through music and began working on developing her musical talent. She played the trumpet and piano and sang in the chorus, appearing as soloist in recitals and musical productions while studying voice with a teacher. Coretta got a chance to leave the segregated south when she won a scholarship to join her sister as one of the few black students at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. She joined the college’s NAACP Chapter and Race Relations and Civil Liberties Committee. She first majored in Early Childhood Education but was inspired to change her plans after she sang on a program with Paul Robeson at an NAACP event. He encouraged her to study voice full-time and she dreamed of having a career like his that combined music performance with social activism. Prior to completing her studies at Antioch in 1951, Coretta was advised by the head of the music department to apply for admission to Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music and to the Smith Noyes Foundation for a fellowship. She was accepted at the Conservatory and her plan was to specialize in voice while getting a music degree. Coretta arranged for lodging and breakfast by cleaning the floor on which she lived. Sometimes, her dinner consisted of graham crackers, peanut
his family despite the dangers. Coretta often heard her father say to her mother, “I may not be back.” Mrs. Scott was a strong and righteous woman who taught Coretta the values of honesty, truth, compassion, perseverance and the importance of keeping a spiritual focus. With the help of her children, she gardened, fed the hogs and chickens, and milked and fed the cows while Mr. Scott worked away from home. Later, she worked along side her husband in the grocery store. When Coretta entered school, she joined other community children in walking over four miles to Crossroads School. She would soon realize the unfairness of white children riding to their wellbuilt brick school while African American children walked. She committed herself to getting an education so that she could use it her education as an instrument to change conditions. After completing the sixth grade at Crossroads, Coretta joined her sister at the Lincoln High School in Marion, Alabama. The Scotts paid four dollars and fifty cents in tuition for each child as well as room and board for their children to live with a family during the week. White children were bussed to Marion High School daily. In Coretta’s junior year, the county allotted some funds for transportation for African-American students and Mr. Scott converted an old truck into a bus that Mrs. Scott drove a total of forty miles each day. Despite their limited schooling, her parents placed a high value on education and made enormous sacrifices to ensure that Coretta, her older sister, Edythe, and brother, Obie Leonard received the best possible education. ignity, elegance, courage, faith-filled and strength are all words that describe Coretta Scott King—a peace activist and civil rights leader. She was wife and partner of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and “First Lady” of the civil rights movement. She stood by Dr. King’s side through thick and thin and fought tirelessly to keep his legacy alive. On January 30, 2006, Coretta Scott King rejoined Dr. King as she transitioned to her eternal reward. Coretta Scott King was born in Heiberger, Alabama on April 27, 1927, the third of four children to Bernice McMurray and Obadiah “Obie” Scott. She inherited a rich legacy of faith, family, character, music, leadership and entrepreneurship. She was named for her grandmother Cora, a woman of unusual strength and drive. Although Coretta never knew her grandmother, she was often told that she was much like her. Her father, maternal grandmother, and slave-born maternal grandfather all grew and sold produce in the community. Coretta’s mother and maternal grandmother were seamstresses. One of her deepest regrets was never having known her grandma Cora. Coretta’s father had a keen business sense and unflagging work ethic that put him in competition with white businessmen. He combined chicken farming and hauling lumber as a business. He was the first “colored man” in the county to own a truck and later a sawmill; and, in 1946, he opened a grocery store on his own property. As a result of his entrepreneurial endeavors, he was often stopped and threatened by white men on the road at night. In spite of this, he was determined to make a way for IN REMEMBRANCE OF D butter and fruit. She was determined not to write home for money. After college graduation, Coretta moved to Boston to attend the New England Conservatory of Music and fulfill her dream of becoming a classical concert singer. One day in 1952, she was introduced to a man named Martin Luther King, Jr. who was a preacher pursuing his Ph.D. at Boston University. Two destinies linked that would later converge to change a nation–but Coretta did not know it at the time. She knew her calling in life was to make a difference in the world by working to change conditions for blacks in the south. She was certain her contribution would be through music, not ministry. As Coretta and Martin became more acquainted with one another, they discovered that they shared similar concerns about the plight of their people. The more time she spent with him, she began to sense just how different he was. Coretta was always a champion of hope, dignity and freedom. Even before she met Martin, she was involved in the peace movement and because of this, she was the first to convince him to speak out against the Vietnam War. She has always had a keen sense of history and she believed and frequently quoted Horace Mann’s admonition: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” On June 18, 1953, Coretta and Martin married and in September, took up residence in Montgomery, Alabama, where Coretta Scott King began to assume the many functions of the pastor’s wife at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Coretta Scott King entered the world stage in 1955 as wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Prepared by her family, education, and personal commitment for a life dedicated to social justice and peace, she played an important leadership role in the American Civil Rights Movement. Her remarkable partnership with Dr. King also produced four children and a family devoted to social justice and nonviolent social change. During Dr. King’s career, Mrs. King focused on raising their children: Yolanda Denise (b. 1955), Martin Luther III (b. 1957), Dexter Scott (b. 1961), and Bernice Albertine (b.1963), balancing her time between mothering and movement work, speaking engagements before church, civic, college, fraternal and peace groups. To help raise funds for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the nonviolent direct action organization for which Dr. King served as first president, she conceived and performed a series of favorablyreviewed Freedom Concerts which combined prose IN REMEMBRANCE OF and poetry narration with musical selections. In 1957, she and Dr. King journeyed to Ghana to mark that country’s independence. Dr. and Mrs. King spent nearly a month in India in 1959 on a pilgrimage to visit sites associated with Mahatma Ghandi, and to meet with his disciples. In 1964, she accompanied Dr. King to Oslo, Norway, where he received the Nobel Peace Prize. Even prior to her husband’s first public statement against the Vietnam War in 1967, Mrs. King functioned as liaison to peace and justice organizations and as an advocate for the unheard and disadvantaged in the councils of public officials. After her husband’s assassination in 1968, instead of retreating with her young children into her grief, Coretta Scott King stepped out into the forefront to continue her husband’s legacy. She began this the day before his funeral, leading the sanitation worker’s march he had gone to Memphis to support. She continued to stand up for social justice for the rest of her life. Mrs. King was devoted to preserving Dr. King’s legacy by committing much of her energy and attention to developing an building the Atlanta-based Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change as a living memorial to her husband’s life and nonviolent philosophy. Situated in the Freedom Hall Complex encircling Dr. King’s tomb, the King Center is part of a twenty-three acre national historic park which includes his birth home and which hosts over one million visitors a year. For the twenty-seven years between 1968- 1995, Mrs. King devoted her life to developing the King Center, the first institution built in honor of an African-American leader. As the Founding President, Chair, and Chief Operating Executive Officer, she dedicated herself to providing local, national and international programs that have trained tens of thousands of people in Dr. King’s nonviolence philosophy and methods. She guided the creation of the largest archives in the world of civil rights documents at the King Center. In 1995, she passed the torch of leadership to her son Dexter Scott King. Mrs. King spearheaded the massive educational and lobbying campaign to establish Dr. King’s birthday as a national holiday. In 1984, at the request of Mrs. King, Congress established the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission to assure appropriate commemoration of Dr. King’s Birthday throughout the nation and world. Mrs. King was the commssion’s Chair for its duration. On the third Monday in January 1986, the first official national holiday in honor of Dr. King was celebrated. The King holiday is now celebrated by all 50 states and by millions of people in over 100 countries. Coretta Scott King has carried the message of nonviolence and the dream of the “Beloved - Community” throughout the world. She has led goodwill missions to Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia and has spoken at some of history’s most massive peace and justice rallies. She served as a Woman’s Strike for Peace delegate to the seventeen-nation disarmament conference in Geneva, Switzerland in 1962 and as an alternate U.S. Delegate to the United Nations during the Carter Administration. She is the first woman to deliver the class–day address at Harvard, and the first woman to preach at a statutory service at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Through her international speaking platform and leadership for nonviolent social change, Mrs. King carried her message of hope and healing across the nation and throughout the world. An advocate of interracial movements for nonviolent social change, in 1974 Mrs. King co-founded a broad coalition of over 100 religious, labor, business, civil, and women rights organizations dedicated to a national policy of full employment and equal economic opportunity serving as cochair of both the National Committee for Full Employment and the Full Employment Action Council. In 1983, she brought together more than 800 human rights organizations to form the New Coalition of Conscience, which sponsored the 20th Anniversary March on Washington, the largest demonstration in our nation’s capital up to that year. In 1985, Mrs. King and two of her children were arrested at the South African Embassy in Washington, D. C. for protesting against apartheid. In 1987, she helped lead the Mobilization Against Fear and Intimidation in Forsyth County Georgia. In preparation for the Reagan-Gorbachev talks in 1988, she served as head of the U. S. delegation of Women for a Meaningful Summit in Athens, Greece; and, in 1990, as the U.S.S.R. was redefining itself, Mrs. King was co-convener of the Soviet- American Women’s Summit in Washington, D.C. The recipient of more than 50 major awards and doctorates from over 40 colleges and universities, Mrs. King Authored My Life with Martin Luther King, Jr. and has written a syndicated newspaper column. She has co-founded and served on the boards of numerous social change organizations including the Black Leadership Forum, the National Black Coalition for Voter Participation and the Black Leadership Roundtable. Heads of state including Prime Ministers and Presidents have held dialogues with Mrs. King. Yet she has also led on picket lines with striking workers and mothers seeking welfare rights. She has reconcile with others. She was a woman of extrodinary grace and dignity sent to us by God “for such a time as this.” She leaves this legacy of love and reconciliation to her loving children, Yolanda Denise, Martin, III, Dexter Scott, and Bernice Albertine; her devoted siblings, Edythe Scott Bagley (Arthur) of Chester, PA, and Reverend Obadiah Scott, Jr. (Alberta) of Marion, AL; devoted sisters-in-law, Christine King Farris (Isaac) and Naomi Barber King; nieces and nephews, Reverend Alveda King, Reverend Derek B. King Sr., Reverend Vernon King, Isaac Farris, Jr., Auturo Bagley, and Angela Watkins; a loving and devoted assistant, Patricia Latimore; and a host of great nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. met with great spiritual leaders including Pope John Paul II, The Dalai Lama, Dorothy Day and Bishop Desmond Tutu. She witnessed the historic handshake between Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Chairman Yassir Arafat at the signing of the Middle East Peace Accords and stood along side Nelson Mandela when he claimed victory in South Africa’s first free elections. Mrs. King has traveled across our nation and world speaking out on behalf of racial and economic justice, religious freedom, dignity and human rights for women, children, gays and lesbians, people with disabilities, universal healthcare, educational opportunities, nuclear disarmament and environmental protection. She has lent her support to nonviolent freedom movements worldwide and has consulted with many world leaders, including Corezon Aquino, Kenneth Kaunda, and Thabo Mbeki. As one of the most influential women leaders, Coretta Scott King has tried to make ours a better world and, in the process, has shaped make history. Mrs. King led a life of extraordinary courage and strength. She did not speak her convictions publicly while failing to honor them privately.

Her love and memory will remain in our hearts and spirits forever--gently urging us to pursue God’s purpose for our lives. It was our unique privilege and blessing to have had her as a parent. We praise and thank God for her. Many of you know that our Mother was also a loving, selfless and devoted daughter, sister, friend and matriarch who, each year, generously acknowledged the birthdays and special events of hundreds of friends and family whom she held dear. Her life of faith, courage and commitment was a resonant sermon to the ages of the purpose and power available to all of us if we work together to build the “Beloved Community” of humankind. Her example of reaching out to others in love and reconciliation, taught us that love is indestructible and only increases by being shared. To those of you who reached out to us in love, prayers or any other generosity of time, talent, or resources, we extend our profound appreciation. For those of you who shared her amazing and inspiring journey, we thank you and ask that you continue to perpetuate her legacy of love, peace, and nonviolence in your lives and in the lives of all that you touch. May we all walk, as she did, with dignity, courage and confidence in the knowledge that we are all children of The One God. We ask that you continue to remember us in prayer as we will remember you. May God bless you all! Yolanda D. King Martin Luther King, III Dexter Scott King Bernice A. King She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. – Proverbs 31: 25-31 “THE JOURNEY” I’ll go alone if I have to. I’ll lay aside every sin and weight which so easily besets me. So if you’re behind me when I begin this journey, stay there, for you will only hinder me. In my basket in case, you are wondering are seeds to be sown. You see, this is a road less traveled and only a few they’ll be that will find it. My footprints will someday vanish from this trail, But the seeds I sow will grow and bear fruit that will remain. The fragrance from this fruit will draw hungry souls to sojourn with me, as we all seek God in Spirit and Truth. Dust from this road tempts my thirst, but it is not mere water that I thirst for. The cup of destiny contains the substance that will quench my thirst, So only from destiny’s cup will I drink. Eternity has allowed me only a few moments in time, So I must be about my Father’s business and find my way back to where I belong. My steps are ordered towards a destination that has been waiting for me since the laying of the world’s foundation. If I deviate from this journey, I’ll only delay my arrival. Although my feet are shod with preparation, they still grow weary, So I must stand on the promises of God to gain strength for miles of this road left untrodden. At the end of this journey waits a festive table filled with blessings and prayers that I prayed and had forgotten. Have your fill of these blessings! Divide them among my prodigy to the fourth and fifth generation, For along the way, I‚ve eaten of bread you know not of. I am full. Tired from my journey, Jesus bids me to rest and extends His hand with an invitation. I’ll gladly accept and sit on the porch of the Kingdom to recap my travels and realize that this journey was just as important as the destination. – Evelyn K.

C E L E B R A T I N G H E R S P I R I T I am convinced that if I had not had a wife with the fortitude, strength and calmness of Coretta, I could not have stood up amid the ordeals and tensions surrounding the Montgomery movement. I came to see the real meaning of that rather trite statement: “A wife can either make or break a husband.” Coretta proved to be that type of wife with qualities to make a husband when he could have been so easily broken. In the darkest moments she always brought the light of hope. – Rev.

On this 25th Anniversary of the founding of the King Center, in presenting my sister Corretta Scott King, I have chosen not to chronicle her achievements in the traditional sense. Certainly the majority of you in this audience already know many of them. We all know that she has been the driving force behind what the King Center has become and what the Federal Holiday Commission has achieved as a great spiritual festival. My objective is to try to stimulate you to think about the event which we have been celebrating for the past ten days in terms of what the King Center is, why it came into being, and where it should lead us as the human race continues to evolve towards greater heights of spirituality. Many of you are probably familiar with Richard Bach’s allegorical book entitled Jonathan Livingston Seagull. In searching for fresh ways to present the meaning and purpose of the Center, I got caught up once more in this piece of writing. The book is about freedom and perfection as these terms apply to high achievers. In many ways, its protagonist, a seagull, reminds me of Coretta and Martin. The seagull’s consuming passion is for freedom and perfection—not only for himself, but for all seagulls. At one pointe in this piece, Jonathan’s three most outstanding qualities are named: he is special, he is gifted, and he is divine. These qualities enabled him to accomplish more than his fellow birds. By being special, gifted, and striving to follow the divine side of his nature, Jonathan becomes an extraordinary leader and teacher. But in time, this fact creates problems for him. He is misunderstood; some of the time he is called a devil, other times, a god. But Jonathan never gives up. He continues to work tirelessly and unrelentingly to overcome his own limitations in achieving freedom and perfection and to teach other gulls to deal with theirs. This meant, among other things, changing their level of consciousness. Jonathan strives to see the good in everyone of his fellow gulls—and to help them see it in themselves. Jonathan says, “it all boils down to learning to love.” This is what Coretta Scott King’s life and the mission of the King Center are all about—Love in Action.
February 7, 2006 As mayor of the City of Atlanta and on behalf of the people of Atlanta, I offer heartfelt condolences to Yolanda, Martin, Dexter, Bernice and the entire King family on the loss of our sister, Coretta Scott King. We will miss her quiet, courageous activism and strength but her legacy and contributions to human rights and social change are timeless. A woman whose faith allowed her to stand for what was just and right, she spoke out against war in the name of peace; she cried out against discrimination in the name of equality and she changed the world in the name of freedom. Coretta Scott King once said, “I learned that when you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone, because you will have divine companionship and the support of good people. This same faith and cosmic companionship sustained me after my husband was assassinated, and gave me the strength to make my contribution to carrying forward his unfinished work.” On behalf of the people of Atlanta, while we mourn with you now, we know that you will find peace in the memory of her lifetime commitment and contributions to carrying out Dr. King’s unfinished work. (The Scott’s first child, Eunice, died at the age of four.) Mrs. Scott said that her children would go to college even if she had only one dress to wear and she frequently admonished her children to “get an education and try to be somebody. Then you won’t have to be kicked around by anybody. If you want clothes and other material things, get an education first, and if you still want these things, you can have them.” Coretta grew up in Mount Tabor A. M. E. Zion Church where both her parents served in multiple capacities. Her father was Chairman of the Trustee Board and succeeded his own father as the preacher’s steward. Her mother served as deaconess, stewardess, and pianist for the choir in which Coretta often sang solos. Coretta, as did Edythe and Obie Leonard, had a good singing voice and learned to love and appreciate music at an early age. Coretta began working for a white cotton farmer at the age of ten. She dug long rows, making sure the width of a hoe was between each stalk. When the puffs were ready, she worked as a cotton picker, making from four to five dollars a season. She once picked 200 pounds of cotton a day earning an astonishing seven dollars. She learned in the cotton fields not only to endure tough situations, but also to overcome them. She was known to consistently pick more cotton than her male cousins. By the time she was fifteen, Coretta was director of the youth choirs. Her favorite past time after a day of hard work in the fields was winding the Victrola while the family sang and singing while her mother played piano. Her talent for music was fed by the unusually large collection of records the Scott’s owned which included spirituals, gospel, jazz and blues. For Coretta, Lincoln High School opened new worlds of thought. She developed a compelling drive to be somebody and to serve God. She sensed her service would come through music and began working on developing her musical talent. She played the trumpet and piano and sang in the chorus, appearing as soloist in recitals and musical productions while studying voice with a teacher. Coretta got a chance to leave the segregated south when she won a scholarship to join her sister as one of the few black students at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. She joined the college’s NAACP Chapter and Race Relations and Civil Liberties Committee. She first majored in Early Childhood Education but was inspired to change her plans after she sang on a program with Paul Robeson at an NAACP event. He encouraged her to study voice full-time and she dreamed of having a career like his that combined music performance with social activism. Prior to completing her studies at Antioch in 1951, Coretta was advised by the head of the music department to apply for admission to Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music and to the Smith Noyes Foundation for a fellowship. She was accepted at the Conservatory and her plan was to specialize in voice while getting a music degree. Coretta arranged for lodging and breakfast by cleaning the floor on which she lived. Sometimes, her dinner consisted of graham crackers, peanut
his family despite the dangers. Coretta often heard her father say to her mother, “I may not be back.” Mrs. Scott was a strong and righteous woman who taught Coretta the values of honesty, truth, compassion, perseverance and the importance of keeping a spiritual focus. With the help of her children, she gardened, fed the hogs and chickens, and milked and fed the cows while Mr. Scott worked away from home. Later, she worked along side her husband in the grocery store. When Coretta entered school, she joined other community children in walking over four miles to Crossroads School. She would soon realize the unfairness of white children riding to their wellbuilt brick school while African American children walked. She committed herself to getting an education so that she could use it her education as an instrument to change conditions. After completing the sixth grade at Crossroads, Coretta joined her sister at the Lincoln High School in Marion, Alabama. The Scotts paid four dollars and fifty cents in tuition for each child as well as room and board for their children to live with a family during the week. White children were bussed to Marion High School daily. In Coretta’s junior year, the county allotted some funds for transportation for African-American students and Mr. Scott converted an old truck into a bus that Mrs. Scott drove a total of forty miles each day. Despite their limited schooling, her parents placed a high value on education and made enormous sacrifices to ensure that Coretta, her older sister, Edythe, and brother, Obie Leonard received the best possible education. ignity, elegance, courage, faith-filled and strength are all words that describe Coretta Scott King—a peace activist and civil rights leader. She was wife and partner of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and “First Lady” of the civil rights movement. She stood by Dr. King’s side through thick and thin and fought tirelessly to keep his legacy alive. On January 30, 2006, Coretta Scott King rejoined Dr. King as she transitioned to her eternal reward. Coretta Scott King was born in Heiberger, Alabama on April 27, 1927, the third of four children to Bernice McMurray and Obadiah “Obie” Scott. She inherited a rich legacy of faith, family, character, music, leadership and entrepreneurship. She was named for her grandmother Cora, a woman of unusual strength and drive. Although Coretta never knew her grandmother, she was often told that she was much like her. Her father, maternal grandmother, and slave-born maternal grandfather all grew and sold produce in the community. Coretta’s mother and maternal grandmother were seamstresses. One of her deepest regrets was never having known her grandma Cora. Coretta’s father had a keen business sense and unflagging work ethic that put him in competition with white businessmen. He combined chicken farming and hauling lumber as a business. He was the first “colored man” in the county to own a truck and later a sawmill; and, in 1946, he opened a grocery store on his own property. As a result of his entrepreneurial endeavors, he was often stopped and threatened by white men on the road at night. In spite of this, he was determined to make a way for IN REMEMBRANCE OF D butter and fruit. She was determined not to write home for money. After college graduation, Coretta moved to Boston to attend the New England Conservatory of Music and fulfill her dream of becoming a classical concert singer. One day in 1952, she was introduced to a man named Martin Luther King, Jr. who was a preacher pursuing his Ph.D. at Boston University. Two destinies linked that would later converge to change a nation–but Coretta did not know it at the time. She knew her calling in life was to make a difference in the world by working to change conditions for blacks in the south. She was certain her contribution would be through music, not ministry. As Coretta and Martin became more acquainted with one another, they discovered that they shared similar concerns about the plight of their people. The more time she spent with him, she began to sense just how different he was. Coretta was always a champion of hope, dignity and freedom. Even before she met Martin, she was involved in the peace movement and because of this, she was the first to convince him to speak out against the Vietnam War. She has always had a keen sense of history and she believed and frequently quoted Horace Mann’s admonition: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” On June 18, 1953, Coretta and Martin married and in September, took up residence in Montgomery, Alabama, where Coretta Scott King began to assume the many functions of the pastor’s wife at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Coretta Scott King entered the world stage in 1955 as wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Prepared by her family, education, and personal commitment for a life dedicated to social justice and peace, she played an important leadership role in the American Civil Rights Movement. Her remarkable partnership with Dr. King also produced four children and a family devoted to social justice and nonviolent social change. During Dr. King’s career, Mrs. King focused on raising their children: Yolanda Denise (b. 1955), Martin Luther III (b. 1957), Dexter Scott (b. 1961), and Bernice Albertine (b.1963), balancing her time between mothering and movement work, speaking engagements before church, civic, college, fraternal and peace groups. To help raise funds for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the nonviolent direct action organization for which Dr. King served as first president, she conceived and performed a series of favorablyreviewed Freedom Concerts which combined prose IN REMEMBRANCE OF and poetry narration with musical selections. In 1957, she and Dr. King journeyed to Ghana to mark that country’s independence. Dr. and Mrs. King spent nearly a month in India in 1959 on a pilgrimage to visit sites associated with Mahatma Ghandi, and to meet with his disciples. In 1964, she accompanied Dr. King to Oslo, Norway, where he received the Nobel Peace Prize. Even prior to her husband’s first public statement against the Vietnam War in 1967, Mrs. King functioned as liaison to peace and justice organizations and as an advocate for the unheard and disadvantaged in the councils of public officials. After her husband’s assassination in 1968, instead of retreating with her young children into her grief, Coretta Scott King stepped out into the forefront to continue her husband’s legacy. She began this the day before his funeral, leading the sanitation worker’s march he had gone to Memphis to support. She continued to stand up for social justice for the rest of her life. Mrs. King was devoted to preserving Dr. King’s legacy by committing much of her energy and attention to developing an building the Atlanta-based Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change as a living memorial to her husband’s life and nonviolent philosophy. Situated in the Freedom Hall Complex encircling Dr. King’s tomb, the King Center is part of a twenty-three acre national historic park which includes his birth home and which hosts over one million visitors a year. For the twenty-seven years between 1968- 1995, Mrs. King devoted her life to developing the King Center, the first institution built in honor of an African-American leader. As the Founding President, Chair, and Chief Operating Executive Officer, she dedicated herself to providing local, national and international programs that have trained tens of thousands of people in Dr. King’s nonviolence philosophy and methods. She guided the creation of the largest archives in the world of civil rights documents at the King Center. In 1995, she passed the torch of leadership to her son Dexter Scott King. Mrs. King spearheaded the massive educational and lobbying campaign to establish Dr. King’s birthday as a national holiday. In 1984, at the request of Mrs. King, Congress established the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission to assure appropriate commemoration of Dr. King’s Birthday throughout the nation and world. Mrs. King was the commssion’s Chair for its duration. On the third Monday in January 1986, the first official national holiday in honor of Dr. King was celebrated. The King holiday is now celebrated by all 50 states and by millions of people in over 100 countries. Coretta Scott King has carried the message of nonviolence and the dream of the “Beloved - Community” throughout the world. She has led goodwill missions to Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia and has spoken at some of history’s most massive peace and justice rallies. She served as a Woman’s Strike for Peace delegate to the seventeen-nation disarmament conference in Geneva, Switzerland in 1962 and as an alternate U.S. Delegate to the United Nations during the Carter Administration. She is the first woman to deliver the class–day address at Harvard, and the first woman to preach at a statutory service at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Through her international speaking platform and leadership for nonviolent social change, Mrs. King carried her message of hope and healing across the nation and throughout the world. An advocate of interracial movements for nonviolent social change, in 1974 Mrs. King co-founded a broad coalition of over 100 religious, labor, business, civil, and women rights organizations dedicated to a national policy of full employment and equal economic opportunity serving as cochair of both the National Committee for Full Employment and the Full Employment Action Council. In 1983, she brought together more than 800 human rights organizations to form the New Coalition of Conscience, which sponsored the 20th Anniversary March on Washington, the largest demonstration in our nation’s capital up to that year. In 1985, Mrs. King and two of her children were arrested at the South African Embassy in Washington, D. C. for protesting against apartheid. In 1987, she helped lead the Mobilization Against Fear and Intimidation in Forsyth County Georgia. In preparation for the Reagan-Gorbachev talks in 1988, she served as head of the U. S. delegation of Women for a Meaningful Summit in Athens, Greece; and, in 1990, as the U.S.S.R. was redefining itself, Mrs. King was co-convener of the Soviet- American Women’s Summit in Washington, D.C. The recipient of more than 50 major awards and doctorates from over 40 colleges and universities, Mrs. King Authored My Life with Martin Luther King, Jr. and has written a syndicated newspaper column. She has co-founded and served on the boards of numerous social change organizations including the Black Leadership Forum, the National Black Coalition for Voter Participation and the Black Leadership Roundtable. Heads of state including Prime Ministers and Presidents have held dialogues with Mrs. King. Yet she has also led on picket lines with striking workers and mothers seeking welfare rights. She has reconcile with others. She was a woman of extrodinary grace and dignity sent to us by God “for such a time as this.” She leaves this legacy of love and reconciliation to her loving children, Yolanda Denise, Martin, III, Dexter Scott, and Bernice Albertine; her devoted siblings, Edythe Scott Bagley (Arthur) of Chester, PA, and Reverend Obadiah Scott, Jr. (Alberta) of Marion, AL; devoted sisters-in-law, Christine King Farris (Isaac) and Naomi Barber King; nieces and nephews, Reverend Alveda King, Reverend Derek B. King Sr., Reverend Vernon King, Isaac Farris, Jr., Auturo Bagley, and Angela Watkins; a loving and devoted assistant, Patricia Latimore; and a host of great nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. met with great spiritual leaders including Pope John Paul II, The Dalai Lama, Dorothy Day and Bishop Desmond Tutu. She witnessed the historic handshake between Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Chairman Yassir Arafat at the signing of the Middle East Peace Accords and stood along side Nelson Mandela when he claimed victory in South Africa’s first free elections. Mrs. King has traveled across our nation and world speaking out on behalf of racial and economic justice, religious freedom, dignity and human rights for women, children, gays and lesbians, people with disabilities, universal healthcare, educational opportunities, nuclear disarmament and environmental protection. She has lent her support to nonviolent freedom movements worldwide and has consulted with many world leaders, including Corezon Aquino, Kenneth Kaunda, and Thabo Mbeki. As one of the most influential women leaders, Coretta Scott King has tried to make ours a better world and, in the process, has shaped make history. Mrs. King led a life of extraordinary courage and strength. She did not speak her convictions publicly while failing to honor them privately.

Her love and memory will remain in our hearts and spirits forever--gently urging us to pursue God’s purpose for our lives. It was our unique privilege and blessing to have had her as a parent. We praise and thank God for her. Many of you know that our Mother was also a loving, selfless and devoted daughter, sister, friend and matriarch who, each year, generously acknowledged the birthdays and special events of hundreds of friends and family whom she held dear. Her life of faith, courage and commitment was a resonant sermon to the ages of the purpose and power available to all of us if we work together to build the “Beloved Community” of humankind. Her example of reaching out to others in love and reconciliation, taught us that love is indestructible and only increases by being shared. To those of you who reached out to us in love, prayers or any other generosity of time, talent, or resources, we extend our profound appreciation. For those of you who shared her amazing and inspiring journey, we thank you and ask that you continue to perpetuate her legacy of love, peace, and nonviolence in your lives and in the lives of all that you touch. May we all walk, as she did, with dignity, courage and confidence in the knowledge that we are all children of The One God. We ask that you continue to remember us in prayer as we will remember you. May God bless you all! Yolanda D. King Martin Luther King, III Dexter Scott King Bernice A. King She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. – Proverbs 31: 25-31 “THE JOURNEY” I’ll go alone if I have to. I’ll lay aside every sin and weight which so easily besets me. So if you’re behind me when I begin this journey, stay there, for you will only hinder me. In my basket in case, you are wondering are seeds to be sown. You see, this is a road less traveled and only a few they’ll be that will find it. My footprints will someday vanish from this trail, But the seeds I sow will grow and bear fruit that will remain. The fragrance from this fruit will draw hungry souls to sojourn with me, as we all seek God in Spirit and Truth. Dust from this road tempts my thirst, but it is not mere water that I thirst for. The cup of destiny contains the substance that will quench my thirst, So only from destiny’s cup will I drink. Eternity has allowed me only a few moments in time, So I must be about my Father’s business and find my way back to where I belong. My steps are ordered towards a destination that has been waiting for me since the laying of the world’s foundation. If I deviate from this journey, I’ll only delay my arrival. Although my feet are shod with preparation, they still grow weary, So I must stand on the promises of God to gain strength for miles of this road left untrodden. At the end of this journey waits a festive table filled with blessings and prayers that I prayed and had forgotten. Have your fill of these blessings! Divide them among my prodigy to the fourth and fifth generation, For along the way, I‚ve eaten of bread you know not of. I am full. Tired from my journey, Jesus bids me to rest and extends His hand with an invitation. I’ll gladly accept and sit on the porch of the Kingdom to recap my travels and realize that this journey was just as important as the destination. – Evelyn K.

A WORD from the Economist Novelist

A WORD from the Economist Novelist When Bruce Batchelor, CEO of Trafford Publishing Company started the self-published book business, in 1995, Bruce was a self-published author who decided to do something about the ongoing “How do I get published?” problem. Then, Bruce and writers set up Trafford Publishing technology as a vehicle to help new authors self-publish. Bruce, along with his friends, introduced the revolutionary concept of “On-Demand Book Publishing” to minimize cost and inconvenience.
Now, the conventional publishing companies coexist in harmony. No one thinks twice about using whichever one is appropriate. It would be silly to enter into a debate about which is better, the digital on-demand publishing or the conventional publishing. They serve different functions. If I want Googleonomics simplicity in saving time and money to get published, I use the digital on-demand book publishing way. If I want to go to the gatekeepers of publishing books then the conventional way is to get publish.
Think of digital print-on-demand publishing as Googleonomics. Those big publishing houses in New York City are the conventional publishing companies. One isn’t better than the other; they are just different. But all writers, even self-publish purists would do well to consider using both. Sure, I still reach for the conventional way and I submit most of my books to those New York publishers. I always receive rejection letters but I keep trying because I share that elusive dream of fame, fortune, and Oprah! Guess what? They reject 98 percent of the books submitted to them. Picking up that conventional way of getting publish becomes harder and harder, when I know a paper cut awaits me at the end.
That’s why I authored “Googleonomics“ book. No, the conventional way for publishing is not going out of business, but I wanted to help my fans and readers get the word out about simplicity digital self-published books with on-demand publishing.

A WORD from the Economist Novelist

A WORD from the Economist Novelist When Bruce Batchelor, CEO of Trafford Publishing Company started the self-published book business, in 1995, Bruce was a self-published author who decided to do something about the ongoing “How do I get published?” problem. Then, Bruce and writers set up Trafford Publishing technology as a vehicle to help new authors self-publish. Bruce, along with his friends, introduced the revolutionary concept of “On-Demand Book Publishing” to minimize cost and inconvenience.
Now, the conventional publishing companies coexist in harmony. No one thinks twice about using whichever one is appropriate. It would be silly to enter into a debate about which is better, the digital on-demand publishing or the conventional publishing. They serve different functions. If I want Googleonomics simplicity in saving time and money to get published, I use the digital on-demand book publishing way. If I want to go to the gatekeepers of publishing books then the conventional way is to get publish.
Think of digital print-on-demand publishing as Googleonomics. Those big publishing houses in New York City are the conventional publishing companies. One isn’t better than the other; they are just different. But all writers, even self-publish purists would do well to consider using both. Sure, I still reach for the conventional way and I submit most of my books to those New York publishers. I always receive rejection letters but I keep trying because I share that elusive dream of fame, fortune, and Oprah! Guess what? They reject 98 percent of the books submitted to them. Picking up that conventional way of getting publish becomes harder and harder, when I know a paper cut awaits me at the end.
That’s why I authored “Googleonomics“ book. No, the conventional way for publishing is not going out of business, but I wanted to help my fans and readers get the word out about simplicity digital self-published books with on-demand publishing.

I trade in the forex market. What I like about is I can buy and sell any currency; therefore I can make money in a bull or bear market. I would like to know if it is possible for me to buy and sell crude oil etc in a similar way?
