Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., August 28, 1963
"I have a dream that my four litte 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." More than 40 years after Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech on steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. are we any closer to realizing his dream? (put image code or text)

Careful what you wish for because it may just come true. You wish for a good woman to come into your life, and when she does you don't know what to do. You ask for a woman who is loving, caring honest, understanding and strong And when she proves she is, and asked you for the same you start singing that same old song. About how all the others have hurt you so badly, and all the wrong that they have done to you. But you must understand that before you can demand, you must be the same way too. I know that it has been difficult, and throught it all it has been hard to live. But I just can't see how you can ask for something that YOU are not ready to give. We are constantly trying to show you that we still chanrge us for the delivery. There are still some good women out here who are honest, faithful, and true. See you must also show us that you are a good man, and that starts from the healing within you. Just be careful what you wish for, because that wish just may come true... You can add a maquee

Biography For Nichelle Nichols
Trivia Her younger brother Thomas commited suicide with the cult members in Rancho Santa Fe, near San Diego. [March 1997] Fed up with the racist harrasment, culminating with her learning that the studio was withholding her fan mail, she submitted her resignation. She withdrew it when Martin Luther King personally convinced her that her role was too important as a breakthrough to leave. Her role as Uhura on Star Trek was the first time that an African American actress was portrayed in a non-stereotypical role. Previously, African American female actresses were depicted as maids or housekeepers, and Nichols' role broke the stereotype barrier among African American actresses. Like Sidney Poitier, whom his characters were one-dimensional (e.g. Det. Virgil Tibbs), Nichols portrayed a character that was non-stereotypical. Although ignored in the "famous actors/actresses" in African American cinema, including "famous celebrities" during Black History Month, Nichols was one of the first actresses that portrayed a character on a TV show and science fiction series that was treated fairly like other races, and to all of Star Trek fans, the TV series and films that followed set the standard for multiculturalism (where people of different races, ethnicities, and gender are integrated and a sense of equality coexist). Former NASA astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison was inspired by Nichols when she decided to become the first African American female astronaut. Jemison was a fan of the original "Star Trek" (1966). During the late 1970s until ?1987, Nichelle Nichols was employed by NASA and was in charge of astronaut recruits and hopefuls. Most of the recruits that she launched were minority candidates of different races and/or ethnicities, as well as gender, like Guion Bluford (the first African American male astronaut), Sally Ride (the first female astronaut), Judith Resnick (one of the original female astronauts recruited by NASA, who perished during the launch of the Challenger on January 28, 1986), and Ronald McNair (another victim of the Challenger disaster). She lived in Houston, Texas during her years as a Johnson Space Center employee. With "Star Trek" co-star William Shatner, she shared the first interracial kiss on television. This resulted in a deluge of mail - 99% of which was positive. Measurements: 35-23-37 (as a glamour model in 1960), (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine) Became the first African-American to place her handprints in front of Hollywood's Chinese Theatre, along with the rest of the 'Star Trek' crew. In 1992, she earned her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In early 1951 at age 18, Nichelle married a dancer who was fifteen years her senior. Within four months they split and by August of 1951 she bore his son. She remarried in 1968, this time to a songwriter, but that marriage also ended in divorce a few years later. Discovered by Duke Ellington in her mid-teens, she toured with both Ellington and Lionel Hampton as a lead singer and dancer. Decades later in 1992, she made use of her voice again starring in a dramatic one-woman musical show "Reflections" in which she became 12 separate song legends. Confessed in her autobiography she once had a close, personal relationship with 'Star Trek' creator Gene Roddenberry. Shared with William Shatner in what is said to be the first interracial kiss ever shown on TV with a 1968 episode of "Star Trek." Made both her first ('The Corbomite Manoeuvre') and last ('Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country') 'Star Trek' appearances with DeForest Kelley. Mother of Kyle Johnson. Her great-grandfather, James Gillespie, was Welsh. Height 5' 5'' {1.65m}

"A Kiss"

Would you kiss me tonight
So soft, So gentle

Arouse deep feelings
Please, make it so sensual

Can you feel a kiss without your heart
So warm, your lips, I felt them part

No words can be spoken,
the meaning is true

That kiss will last forever
It�s only for me and you
A kiss from the heart

THE ONE FLAW IN WOMEN
By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?" And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart-and she will do everything with only two hands." The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!? No way! And that`s just on the standard model? That`s too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish." "But I won`t," the Lord protested. "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days." The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But you have made her so soft, Lord." "She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish." "Will she be able to think?", asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate." The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman`s cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one." "That`s not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that`s a tear!" "What`s the tear for?" the angel asked. The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride." The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing." And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don`t take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have.They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.They love unconditionally.They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They`ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH
