Black History- Dr. Richard R. Green has left an indelible mark on education. He was the first African American suterintendent of Minneaplois Public School System.He was the first Chancellor of New York City,s Board of Education.Dr. Green treasured everyone who served children said, Rosa Bogar,who developed the "Green Tree Award" at Richard R. Green Central Park School,in Minneapolis.Nineteen students have received the award.This is just one way to keep this great educator,s legacy alive,stated Bogar who worked in the system for thirty years.

There needs to be a national march against "mr. saggin" for creating a big STINK all over the country. "fads are not to last but quickly pass" I am a Black Fashion Designer. I know how fashion definds a person. this trend needs Urgent Attention! This is voluntary slavery. Can you see the invisible shackles? This is painful for me. I have been addressing this concern for awhile now! Rosa

I am still very much concerned about this trend call "saggin" this is causing a big STINK! across the nation. We need a National March against "mr. saggin" Maybe be it should be held in Central Park in NYC maybe icons Jay-Z and Diddy can hepl host this much needed endeavor to hepl dispel this dress trend."fads are not ot last but quickly pass" I am a former black designer and I know the role fashion plays in society. I have address this issue before I hope others will listen this time! Thanks for this space to express what I am tired seeing in my face. Rosa Bogar

I most recently visited NYC and visited one of five schools that honor the namesake of Dr. Richard R. Green,this trip was to continue the legacy to his excellence in education.I also shared some time with the new director of the Schomburg Center in Harlem. Dr Muhammad is an outstanding choice for the Schomburg Center. I wish him all the best towards leading this great historic center.

I read the speech by Orangeburg native Eugene Robinson.on MLK's Holiday! It was a great speech and reminder that we all can keep Dr. King;s dream alive! I am a native of Orangeburg, South Carolina as the speeker and have shared much about the Orangeburg Massacre and about the award that was bestowed upon me by the Commision on Civil Rights from the City of Minneapolis.Minnesota. I still treasure this as one of great honor.

MLK Holiday is one of my favorite. I still "treasure" the award that I received from the City of Mpls. Mn in the eighties. I had the great opportunity to share this award with three of his children,they were keynote speakers for the MLK Holiday here in Minneapolis.I am planning to commemorate sixteen years of :Civil Rights Remembrance Day" This history will honor sixteen pioneers of "CRRD" who have passed on.This work depicts visions and legacies of that of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.I am the visionary of this work.This work is truly securing a legacy for the future. "Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day"
