Tell the Word
Today is Thursday, 28 August 2008.

The Museum of the Bourgeois extends profound sympathy to family and friends.
On this date in 1955, fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was tortured and murdered in Money, Mississippi. His crime: being a Black male who allegedly “spoke fresh” to a white female; it is more likely that he simply, as he often did, stuttered. His assassins, who later boasted of the crime and spent the rest of their lives trying to make money off the crime, were acquitted by an all-white jury.
The Museum of the Bourgeois extends profound sympathy to family and friends.
In 1963, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington, D.C.
Still right on, comrade.
In 1968, the Chicago Police Department rioted (the Kerner Commission used the righteous term, don't blame me), attacking demonstraters at the Democratic National Convention, the latter trying to do their First Amendment thing.
And, Senator Obama: you're too conservative for me, but yet I endorse you.
Tonight: Tell the Word, put it to The Man, lift up the standard.
