Resolved Question: Can anyone read this and tell me what you think?

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we

Resolved Question: will my dissability income stay the same or increase if I move?

I am on SSDI as well as VA compensation. I desire to move out of mississippi to the west coast and have a change of scenery for once. problem is, there is NOTHING out there in my income range to rent. At best, a weekly motel would cost about 3 to 4 times my monthly income a month. My question is this: will my income still be the same or will it be increased due to cost of living expenses? I'm stumped.

Resolved Question: Gulfshores, AL. Honeymoon?

Me and my fiance' are planning on going down to spend our honeymoon at Gulfshores. I have a couple questions. 1. How are the beaches after Katrina, I hear Alabama didn't get affected to bad like Mississippi did. 2. How crowded are the beaches, we prefer not overly crowded places, any recommendations? 3. Are there any motels or cheaper hotels (under $100 a night) either on the beach or across the street from the beach. 4. What are some good activities this city have to offer? Any neat attractions? (Historical or amusement) Any casinos? etc... 5. What are some good restaurants.

Resolved Question: What is with the Obsession or lies about good colleges?

(I am not a hater. If you can get into a name brand, then you go for it. I am highlighting a truth that should put some folk mind at ease. Thousands of Ivy Leage graduates will tell you that the school and the hype did not help them lovate gainfully employment) Sorry, I am here to debunk a well establisned myth. Millions of us are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt the certain colleges guarantee success. Well, you have been deceived. While it is good to go to an Ivy League University, Wall street and the rest of the world are not waiting for you. THIS IS NOT THE SEVENTIES! I want to take my time and debunk this lie again; the college or university does not matter-you do!! Your abilities, skills, and knowledge are the ONLY thing employers seek. When I was in college, I believed all the lies. I was obsessed with making only "A's" because teachers and professors said it matters. After eight years of college, I kept an "A" average. I attended several private colleges that had reputations for academics. When I got in the world of work, no one cared about my colleges, GPA, or twice "Summa Cum Laude." I was so confused. I had convinced myself that employers would make a big fuss over me because of my GPA and private colleges.. The truth is, most showed contempt because they were not achievers. They are looking for experience and not showmanship. If you attended an Ivy League School and cannot pass the BAR, what have you accomplished besides being unemployed? I work with a Stanford graduate who is my company's accountant. He is stressed and works on weekends. The previous account was an assitant who had attended a community college in Amarillo, Texas. She was brilliant and kept up with several accounts without complaint. She never stayed late or acted stressed. This is a new day and age. All schools are created equal when it comes to course content because more State and Private colleges are offering state of the art courses. These courses allow the student to sail through State and National exams. Certification speaks volume when applying for a position that asks for such.. Many parents assume that their child is getting the best education if they attend certain universities. That is NOT always the case in 2009. A few years back, the best dental school in the country was not John Hopkins or Harvard Medical. It was San Antonio Allied Health. The best Law school that continues to win national titles to this day is Regency University in Virginia. It is not your traditional name brand school. The worldforce is looking for competency, not labels. You can graduate from Harvard, Yale, or Vanderbilt and be a complete idiot and unprepared for the job market. I know a lady that put her three children through Trinity University. This is a very expensive school. In fact, some homes cost less than what it costs for one year. The mother wanted to give her children an edge in life as do most parents. The oldest child ended up working a menial job. The second found a job as a desk clerk at a motel. The third one is still out there. They got the name, so their rmission was accomplished. So, stop stressing yourself about getting into a "Namebrand." If you want a job in the 21st Century, you best prepare yourself for the competition. Your competition is not coming from Columbia, MIT or Penn State. It is coming from community schools, East Mississippi or San Diego State.

Resolved Question: Barack Obama + Martin Luther King Jr.=Hope for all of America and the world?

Will it be true and not just for african americans but for everybody ok first i want you to read this some of you may know what it is: "I Have a Dream" On August 28, 1963, more than a quarter of a million people participating in the civil rights march gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in the nation's capital and heard Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s. "I Have a Dream" speech. This speech is considered one of the most stirring speeches of this century. "Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

Resolved Question: Family vacation suggestions? Similar to Gatlinburg-hotels within walking of shops, attractions, restaurants?

We enjoy Gatlinburg, but want someplace different.We like staying downtown and walking everywhere, maybe taking the trolley once or twice. We are looking for something East of the Mississippi, and not in Florida. A nice tourist town with small things to do, fudge shops, restaurants, etc. Hopefully hotels/motels located nearby for walking. Historical is fine.
