I will be looing forward to it. As far as getting my name wrong I am used to it. Maryam is not a common name. One of the reason's I love it. Even when I tell people how to spell it they put to n's. My name is the Arabic form of Jesus's mother's name Mary. It also so means bitter sweet. I can attest to both. I am a very sweet person unless you take my kindness for weakness then the claws come out. LOL. My maiden name was Thomas which means twice blessed and my married name Bennett means blessed. So I am three times blessed. I have a beaautiful healthy family, A good strong marriage and Great friends. I always heard that words have power and I have to say I so believe that. Sorry for my history listen. I was in the mood for sharing. LOL Ok Thank you Marplet. I will be looing forward to it.

What a beautiful family they are (inside and out!) @Mary Lamb...I did see parts of Being Black in America, which was fantastic. I have a blog post I'm editing about how it inspired me. If people haven't seen it you can probably find it a cnn.com. Thanks for sharing that cover. What a beautiful family they are (inside and out!)

They are way late on the slavery apology but the Jim Crow apology, in my opinion, was much needed. My grandpa had to go through that and he appreciates it even though it's not a check. Some white people feel it's unnecessary, but they didn't have to go through things black people went through. Like Maryamb said, the Japanese got their check, the Hawaiians got their apology, the Native Americans got a patch of land and exempt from taxes, I think (some) Black people deserve an apology too.
