Africa seems to be undergoing the winds of change. A few weeks ago Tunisia set the pace through the people’s revolution that brought down their government.

Just as they did when it happened to John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr; and Elvis Priestley, everyone was asking where I was when I heard the news that Michael Jackson was no longer with us. For a moment, even now, it’s very difficult to wrap one’s mind around the fact that the King [...]

My Friends, Whenever those flecks of cold weather even show a sign of weakness; that they are about to go – that we shall have sun and longer days and all those things that the Spring and Summer bring – my heart overflows with happiness and good feelings. But then on the other hand, there is a chance that I just love the Month of May. Not only is it a Month of Love, it is also the month I set foot first in these United States.

Lately I have been anxiously watching President Obama grapple with his first 100 days in office. Seeing Tom Daschle withdraw his bid to serve as Health Secretary was heartbreaking not because of the former Democratic Majority Leader but because he was due to serve a government we all, probably, want to succeed.
