#IDedicateThisWeekTo Isadora Duncan, an American dancer who performed to great acclaim throughout Europe. Born &raised in CA, she lived &danced in Western Europe &the Soviet Union.
She believed dance was meant to encircle all that life had to offer—joy and sadness. Image
So long as little children are allowed to suffer, there is no true love in this world.
Isadora Duncan Image
The wind? I am the wind. The sea and the moon? I am the sea and the moon. Tears, pain, love, bird-flights? I am all of them. I dance what I am. Sin, prayer, flight, the light that never was on land or sea? I dance what I am.

#IDedicateThisWeekTo Elizabeth Van Lew &Mary Bowser,a freed slave who posed as Jefferson Davis’s servant,worked together to bring down political fixtures of the South from the inside out.

Confederate leaders could tell there was a mole in the highest reaches of the Confederacy, but nobody ever figured out it was Mary. In his letters, Jefferson Davis complains that his mental state is collapsing under the strain of not being able to find the spy. Image

END THE FILIBUSTER /2

Georgia Democrat Richard Russell offered the final arguments in opposition. Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, who had enlisted the Republican votes that made cloture a realistic option, spoke for the proponents with his customary eloquence.
END THE FILIBUSTER /3
“Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come..
The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing in government, in education, and in employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is here!"

Well, I don't think that the Democratic Party to this day has confronted the issue of bringing into its ranks the kind of people that were represented by the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. That is the real underclass of this country.
