The King and Queen's of Civil Rights

Hello and welcome to the place to be for locating goodies and downright deals floating out there in cyberspace.

You may or may not know this, but the month of February is officially recognized as African American History Month. This is when the accomplishments, advancements and overall achievements made by African Americans are recognized.

I mentioned this before about a year ago, but with the recent passing of two historical African American figures, I thought it deserved a second mention.

On October 25, 2005, Rosa Parks, the woman know as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" died, (She was 92 years old). It's been 50 years since Mrs. Parks, then 42yrs , committed an act of defiance that changed the course of American history. Her refusal to give up her seat on the bus, ignited a spark in African Americans all over the world, that still burns bright today, to "stand up and fight for their civil rights and equality"

Sadly, just three months later on January 31, 2006, Corretta Scott King, widow of the great civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., also passed away, (she was 78 years old). Corretta, called the "matriarch of the movement", dedicated her life to advancement of civil rights and equality for all people.

Both of these exceptional woman were recognized during Superbowl XL and in the recent nation wide broadcast of Bailey Broadcastings award winning 3 hour docudrama, "King-From Atlanta, to the Mountaintop", which chronicles the life and times of Dr. King with inspirational music and the words of those who knew him best.

This emotionally charged piece ran on the anniversary of Dr. Kings Birthday and you were not among those fortunate enough to hear the broadcast, you can go here to listen to it in it's entirety for free! http://www.kingprogram.net/listen.html.
