"Without education, there is no hope for our people and without hope, our future is lost" - Charles Hamilton Houston
Who was this man? Charles Hamilton Houston (September 3, 1895–April 22, 1950) was an African American lawyer, Dean of Howard University Law School and NAACP Litigation Director who helped play a role in dismantling the Jim Crow laws and helped train future Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall. He was educated at Amherst College, where he was valedictorian, and at Harvard Law School, where he graduated cum laude and was a member of the Harvard Law Review. Known as "The Man Who Killed Jim Crow."[1], he played a role in nearly every civil rights case before the Supreme Court between 1930 and Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Houston's plan to attack and defeat Jim Crow segregation by using the inequality of the "separate but equal" doctrine (from the Supreme Court's Plessy v. Ferguson decision) as it pertained to public education in the United States was the masterstroke that brought about the landmark Brown decision.

Need I really say more? Education is the key. Each one, teach one.
In the past, there was a sense of community. Now, there seems to be a strong sense of divisiveness and lack of passion regarding educating our wayward youth.
United we stand, divided we fall.

An impressive share! I've just forwarded this onto a colleague who has been doing a little research on this. And he actually bought me dinner simply because I found it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to discuss this matter here on your website.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.

Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few
of the pictures aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a
linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

Howdy would you mind letting me know which hosting company you're utilizing? I've loaded your blog in 3 completely
different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most.
Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a honest price?
Thanks, I appreciate it!

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd
ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest
authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we
could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to
shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
Great blog by the way!
