Purges, Parking and Provisionals, oh my!

       Thomas, who graduated in 1986 with a music education degree, has organized a digitization project set to collect and preserve footage of the Marching “100” that will provide global access to the revolutionary era of band founder William P. Foster, Ph.D.

     “They are not in compliance with the law,” stated Merretazon, whose story of the Viet Nam War was highlighted in the 1984 book, “Bloods: Black Veterans of the Vietnam War, An Oral History,” by Wallace Terry. The book was later the inspiration for the 1995 motion picture, “Dead Presidents,” which reviewers called the most powerful depiction of Black veterans in the history of American cinema.

     “Before this website, it was impossible to search the web and find an accurate scope of the history of American lynching. The names have always been kept safe but distant, in old archives and scholarly books and dissertations.

     Ask yourself why you want to invest: Is it to prepare for retirement, buy a home, or start a new business? How much money will you need for your goals?

     The question is whether or not Miami Gardens residents should approve a proposal allowing auto racing in the middle of their community for monetary gain, and what hazards or dangers could develop? Research done to approve the I-95 Noise Wall to be constructed in the past produced evidence of the non- existence of the emissions test approved by the EPA the State of Florida had in place,  showing scientific proof  of developing dangers to the environment.  The EPA monitoring and testing of the past is no longer active.

     Starting as Armistice Day, celebrated for the first time November 11, 1919–the first anniversary of the end of World War I in 1918—what we now call Veterans Day is the observance of thanks to those who have served military duty. It acknowledges the living and the dead for honorably representing the country during peacetime and war. This year it is imperative that people understand that honor and the name Donald Trump cannot fit in the same sentence. His dishonor to the service and sacrifices of American service members in Syria and to our Kurdish allies is the epitome of disgraceful.
