Voting Rights: A Short History
Remember today is Election Day so get out and VOTE! Please do not sit this one out and if you already voted, thank you!
The Carnegie Corporation of New York has funded an interesting and informative web site entitled, “Voting Rights: A Short History”. They start the story about U.S. Voting Rights in the 1700s and go through to the present. This Corporation is a grantmaking foundation created by Andrew Carnegie in 1911. Their goal is to promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding. We hope you enjoy it and learn something at the same time.
Please review the Carnegie Corporation of New York presentation, “Voting Rights: A Short History”!
Celebrating Labor Day!
The Labor Day holiday in United States is celebrated the first Monday in September. Labor Day was really created by the national labor movements to celebrate the American worker and their achievements, both social and economic! Each of us that work every day, immigrant or citizen, this is our celebration! For more information about the history of Labor Day review the Department of Labor’s (DOL) web page, “History of Labor Day“.

A Celebration of D-Day should be a Day of Remembrance and Prayer!
76 years ago, tomorrow morning, my Grandfather, at age 18, was driving a Naval Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (LCVP) landing United States soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. He made many trips that day until he was finally wounded. He recovered and was then sent to the South Pacific Islands to continue the war until he returned home.
Thank you to all the soldiers who fought and died on that day, 76 years ago!
We live free because of your sacrifices!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream…”
Excerpt from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” Speech, delivered on August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial!
