Ladytex, I just came here to post that article. I find Farrakhan's recent interviews to be very interesting, indeed.

It never occured to me that there hadn't been a black princess, and I am mad that there hasn't thus far. We've had princesses (or leading ladies) of other descents other than white, except black. WTF? Let's see Pocahontas-American Indian Jasmine-Of Eastern Descent Mulan-Asian Snow White -White Sleeping Beauty - White Cinderella - White Belle - White Ariel - White Anastasia - White Esmerelda (Hunchback of Notre Dame)- ? Hmmm, Am I forgetting any? Have we had Spanish? Come to think of it, I can't think of a time when they even portrayed a black person in any of these movies....now, that's a damn shame and surprising that no one mentioned it before.

There's video to accompany that CNN article, Mocha. That was just like an overview/promo, I think.

Black leaders in Congress asked the federal government Tuesday to weigh in on the legality of a vote by the Cherokee Nation earlier this month to revoke citizenship from descendants of former tribal slaves. Saying they were "shocked and outraged," more than two dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus signed a letter to the Interior Department's Bureau of Indian Affairs questioning the "validity, legality, as well as the morality" of the March 3 vote. "The black descendant Cherokees can trace their Native American heritage back in many cases for more than a century," said Rep. Diane Watson, D-Calif. "They are legally a part of the Cherokee Nation through history, precedent, blood and treaty obligations." http://www.civilrights.org/press_room/buzz_clips/black-pols-question-cherokee.html

Six decades later, Tuskegee Airmen to be honored by U.S.
quote:On March 29, the United States will honor the Tuskegee Airmen by awarding the group the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor, the highest civilian award bestowed by the federal legislature. About 300 airmen, out of the nearly 1,000 trained at Tuskegee, will attend the ceremony in the Capitol's rotunda, along with their families.

Thanks for that, LT. I have always been interested in the 332nd Fighter Group. They were the subject of many of my history reports in school along with the Underground Railroad.

There is no way Levar Burton is old enough to have been in a movie that is 30 years old! Has it really been that long?

Well, I missed it thirty years ago because I was working about 14 hours a day six days a week, keeping America safe for y'all toddlers. Maybe I can watch it this time, although I don't know if I get that channel.
