Boy you really don't know Trent Lott!!! Being from Mississippi He has doing a lot for this state!!!! Quit watching CNN and research yourself what he has done. I bet Robert Byrd ranks high in your book huh?\nTrent Lott has fought hard for this state: Hurricane relief money for all Mississippians black and white, he wrote legislation supporting blacks, fought hard to clear the name of a falsely accused black man, and reelected this past election with high numbers from the black community!!!!!!!\nWhere is your question trashing the Klan leader Byrd?

Does this have to do with what your looking for?\nLORENZO KOMBOA ERVIN\n \nTHE REST OF THE NEWS - Racist Insurance Racket \nWhen I was a boy coming up in the South, I used to hate to see the army of white insurance men coming into the Black community. They represented a variety of companies, many long since having been swallowed up by some multinational conglomerate, or not even in existence at all now. But I remember them well. \nWho's Buying Up All The Black Funeral Homes? \nI was talking to a funeral home director in Georgia recently who told me something that shocked me, and I am sure, will shock you too. \nThe Rest Of The News: Black People Have A Right To Rebel \nA massive anti-cop rebellion has broken out in Cincinnati over the police shootings of 15 Black men, ranging in ages of 12-44 years old, all unarmed. The latest case of Timothy Thomas, a 19-year old brother, allegedly wanted for misdemeanor traffic offenses, was gunned down last week by a crazed white cop. \nBlack Capitalism: Part III \nYou know, everybody looks down their noses at poor Black people. They fault them for their own poverty, suffering and even deaths. They "lie, cheat and steal," both the smug well-to-do whites and suburban upper class Blacks say about the poor. They, of course, feel themselves every bit superior to "those people." \nWhite On White Crime? \nI get so tired of hearing all this garbage about "Black-on-Black crime" that the media created to hypocritically denounce internal crimes and contradictions in our communities, and justify police control of the community. I can prove it's propaganda. \nReflection Of Dr. King \nI am not one of a number of persons and commentators who come merely to hypocritically give salutations to Dr. King, when in their own times, they betray his entire history of activism. In fact, the political establishment present us with a Martin Luther King, who never really existed. A saint, instead of an activist, a dream instead of a man, and a pacifist, instead of a man who would fight back if you personally tested him. \nBlack Faces In High Places \nA right-wing Republican angrily wrote me a letter last week, something to the effect like: "why don't you Blacks just give it up about charges of fraud [?]... your man [Gore] just lost, and hey Bush has now appointed Black people to high positions in this administration, which shows he is not a racist." Well, yes, the Grinch (aka as George W. Bush) has now appointed a number of Black and Brown faces to his Presidential Cabinet, and we are supposed to believed that this "diversity" means something to moderate our views of him for the theft of the election and installation of a racist government. \nThe Ballot Or The Bullet? \nThere are no fair elections in America, certainly when the questions of race and political power are evident. It's interesting therefore to look at the presidential election of the year 2000. Many things have not been widely reported, which shows that this electoral race has come so close to political violence, if not outright fascism. The right-wing, including paramilitary militias in Florida and other states, have been planning for a civil war for quite some time. Now they have a genuine "excuse" for political violence. \nWill The Revolution Be Televised? \nI was reading a letter from an activist a few days ago about the protests around the Democratic and Republican political conventions this past Summer, and about how the media distorted and covered up everything that happened. Did you know that over 3,000 persons have been arrested since the November 30, 1999 demonstration in Seattle? There has been widespread police brutality and repression of all those protests mentioned, and those in Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Cincinnati, and other cities in the USA. \nAuthoritarian Leftists: KILL THE COP IN YOUR HEAD! \nIt's difficult to know where to begin with this open lette

Keith is a kind and very down to earth kind of person.  He's a very private person when it comes to his personal life.  He's very energetic and witty.  He did do drugs in the late 90's but got himself in to rehab and has been clean ever since.  He's got an older brother named Shane.  Click on the link I provided.  It gives really interesting information about him.

A lot of times, a thesis for a liberal-arts paper (lit, history, whatever) is more like the paper's theme or main point than, like in science, the hypothesis you're trying to prove.  Maybe instead of setting out to prove such-and-such about African American inventors, you should just say to yourself, I'd like to learn about this, and let the research itself lead you to your thesis.  \n\nI bet it's going to be tough to find a lot on pre-Civil War African American inventors.  Not that you shouldn't write the paper, because you should!, but maybe stop trying to find a such a large, national thesis.  You could talk about, for example, the impact such inventors had on the abolition of slavery, or the emergence of more inventors in the North, or how the tension of slavery affected their work.  See what you find out about the inventors themselves, and then look at their lives and see what themes or events or problems affected all of them.  That's where your thesis will be.\n\nDo you need to come up with the thesis separate from the paper?  I know some teachers do that, to teach writing a paper as a step-by-step process, but those teachers will generally allow the thesis to grow and change as you learn more about your topic.  So if you need to hand something in, it could be something like "Pre-Civil War African American inventors contributed to society", or something really basic, and then refine it as you do your research.  If you don't have to hand in a separate thesis, then stop stressing about it and figure it out along the way.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:African_American_inventors

Sorry don't know him but if you don't find him through here, maybe you could put up a website with a pic. If that doesn't work you could hire a P.I. or contact a talk show like Montel Williams or Oprah, they always do shows like that. Best wishes. Take care.

If you know what city and state, you can probably go on line to the clerk of courts and pull up all sorts of interesting information about him.  \n\nCheers!\n\nHere's one from Duval county, FL, but I doubt if it is the same guy.

I don't know any good ones specifically but Wikkipedia would be good. Some slaves were allowed to go to church long as there was a sheriff outside the window, making sure the pastor didn't talk abuot freedom or something. Hope this helps! Good luck on your paper.

I believe this might help you a bit.. if not sorry!!!\n\n~~Meranda\n\nIntroduction\nAlthough he was born more than six years after the end of the American Civil War, Stephen Crane's novel The Red Badge of Courage depicted that war so vividly, and rendered the fears of men in battle so intensely, that many veterans who read the book were convinced that he was one of them. In a career of less than ten years, Crane produced a body of work that, in its striking and concise phrasing and its unflinching confrontation of smugness and hypocrisy, helped set the course of American fiction and poetry in the twentieth century.\n\n\n\n\nEarly Years\nBorn in Newark, New Jersey, on November 1, 1871, Stephen Crane was his parents' fourteenth (and last) child. His father, Dr. Jonathan Townley Crane, was a Methodist minister, as were his maternal grandfather and other relatives on both sides of his family. Dr. Crane's successive ecclesiastical appointments led the family to move in 1876 to Paterson, New Jersey, and in 1878 to Port Jervis, a town in upstate New York that, with its surrounding countryside, would become the setting for a number of Crane's works, including Whilomville Stories, the novel The Third Violet, and one of his greatest short stories, "The Monster." After Dr. Crane's death in 1880, his widow moved the family to Asbury Park, New Jersey. \n\nCrane attended the Hudson River Institute in Claverack, New York, from 1888 to 1890, where he was taught history by John B. Van Petten, who had been an officer in the Civil War. In September 1890, he enrolled at Lafayette College to study mining engineering, but left without completing his first semester. He entered Syracuse University in January 1891, where he showed more interest in catching for the varsity baseball team than in his studies. In his single semester at Syracuse, he passed only one course of six—English literature, for which he received an A. He had also begun to write for the New York Tribune, and even though he was to lose that position the following year for writing a satirical account of a parade by the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, journalism would remain one of his principal means of support and avenues to fame for the rest of his brief life.\n\n\n\n\nLiterary Career\nCrane later maintained that he wrote his first major work of fiction, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, in two days just before Christmas of 1891. He borrowed money from one of his brothers to have it printed, since he was unable to publish it commercially because of its bleak and uncompromising presentation of life in the slums of New York City: the title character is forced to turn to prostitution after being self-righteously rejected by everyone she has loved and trusted. The book appeared early in 1893 under the pseudonym Johnston Smith, and, while very few copies were sold, it won favorable attention from the influential novelists Hamlin Garland and William Dean Howells.\n\nAlso in early 1893, Crane wrote a first version of what would become The Red Badge of Courage. This novel, his masterpiece, was published in 1895 in both the United States, where it became a bestseller, and England, where it also attracted a great deal of positive notice. In vivid and impressionistic prose, studded with the kinds of striking similes that were a hallmark of Crane's style, the novel relates the experiences of "the youth" Henry Fleming and his comrades as they test themselves on the field of battle. Also in 1895 appeared The Black Riders, the first of Crane's two collections of free verse. These often fable-like little poems, with their stripped-down lines and stark phrasing concentrated on the rendering of a single effect, were to influence the Imagist movement in Anglo-American poetry in the second decade of the twentieth century.\n\nCrane was himself a dashing figure, whose life was often as much of a story as anything that came from his pen.
