I Just found out who Dorothy Dandrige was when I seen the movie "introdusing Dorothy Dandrige" produced by Hally Berry and I haven't been the same since. I've read her biography, I'm ordering movies she played in' I am totally Intrigued by her I wish could could have met her. She was such a bueatiful person inside and out. I'm now twenty yrs of age and me finding out all this of dorothy has really made me look at things alot differently she has really inspired me by all her success and taught me by the failures, She was just way beyond her time and I just wish she could have felt all the happiness she deserved.

Hi, my name is Luis Delgado and I would like to share with others a poem a wrote to the memory of Dorothy Dandridge and her sister. Thank you Luis Delgado e-mail: [email protected] dreams and cream a Dorothy Dandrige a su hija pudo haber sido la Marilyn Monroe negra, titul� en grandes caracteres la prensa pero en 1954 fue nominada al Oscar como mejor actriz por su actuaci�n en Carmen Jones Holliwood era como ahora un Para�so Negro ─pero dominado por blancos─ y esta primera nominaci�n de una actriz de color le dificult� luego hallar trabajo pudo haber sido la Marilyn Monroe negra pero en 1953 tuvo que recluir a su hija por da�o cerebral y comenz� a ingerir pastillas ─como Marilyn Monroe─ el 8 de setiembre de 1965 ─ten�a 42 a�os─ fue encontrada sin vida v�ctima de una sobredosis pudo alcanzar el �xito y ser la Marilyn Monroe negra pero fue lo que fue: madre actriz pobre mujer atrevida afroamericana Dorothy Dandrige

I was searching for websites on Eartha Kitt, and stumbled onto your site. I liked the fact that your included everyone that made each decade memorable. I was born in 1951 and was a very intuitive child. I remember many of the people even from the 40's, because my family would discuss and reminisce about past and current events. I read the bio on Maxine Waters, a native St. Louisan like myself. The biographer said Ms. Waters was raised in the south. St. Louis, Missouri is in the midwest. The majority of the state tends to be rural with St. Louis and Kansas City being more urban. Segregation when Ms. Waters was a girl was obviously more pronunced,but from hearing older people talk it wasn't as rough as living "down south", and I can believe she got intimidated because she was a young lady of color. Keep up the good work! Your site needs to be required reading for students and adults.

I am a young woman who was fourteen no less than a half a decade ago. I did not understand to what extent the death of Emmett Till would reach until I researched about him and his family. My sorrow reaches as far out to the family of Emmett Till and to those who suffered from racism. My sympathy goes to the mother of Emmett who has just pass away Janruary 2003.

The timing in America was wrong for the talent that was the wonderful Dorothy Dandridge. It should be a national shame that a woman who was as beautiful, gifted and intelligent as she was did not recieve the accolades she so richly deservered simply because of her heritage. An Oscar caliber actress, the world should have been at her feet.The only positive side is that other black actresses that have come after her have been able to benefit from her extraordinary life. She lit the torch that others have had their way lighted. Let's keep her flaming going, our sepia queen .

I thought that what happened to Emmett was horrible, he did not deserve to be killed just because he said "bye baby" to a white girl. I've seen a picture of him in his casket and what they did to that boy is horrible. He definetely did not deserve to die the way that he did. I hope you can respond to this little message, and send me some more information on Emmett Till. ~Nicki

Wow, That's a really sad story. Emmitt Till didn't deserve that at all. Whatever he did or said didnt call for him to die that way. I really feel bad. To see someone so young to die a horrible death. Im in shock but i do send my sympathy to his mother.

I was 10 years old when Emmitt Till was murdeder. The story and photos of his body was published in jet magazine a few months later and it was so horrifying I had nightmares. How could anyone do such a thing to a human being. I am almost sixty now and the thought still makes me shiver. A movie was to air on one of the networks a few weeks ago. I missed it. It was released shortly after his Mothers death. Wonder if it will ever be aired again.Maybe it would bring some closure to the nightmares and the still so often thought of the incident. Ther were a lot of happening like this during my adolesecent years. I was born and raised in Florida and in so many ways it seemed like Alabama and Missisippi were to close to home for comfort. I was born in a mixed neighborhood and we read about more predjusties than we experienced.

Rosa Louise Parks was born on February 3,1913 in Tuskegee,Alabama. She attended Alabama State College and worked as a seamstress and housekeeper. Later,Parks decided to work for NAACP( National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ). On December 1,1955, Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on the Montgomery bus. The bus-driver called the police and they took her to court. Rosa Parks has changed the lives of many people.

I'm slightly confused . . . How does Philadelphia, PA. fit in to the picture? There is a statue erected in Lady Day's honor in Baltimore, MD. (ironically on Pennsylvania Avenue)stating that she was indeed born in Baltimore between 1912 and 1915 - - Any information you can impart is appreciated.

I am a 15 yr old African American actor/model. I love Dorothy for what she acheived. I look up to her and hope to be a star like her one day. I saw the movie and had to look up information on her. I was saddened by the fact that she was so young and died. I will always admire her for what she did for people of our race.

Always wanted to know more about my roots, because it was not taught to me when I was in school. I'm 43 years old, and have yet to understand it all: 1. Why the people of the other persuasion are so afraid of our race? 2. Chess games of our own black race between ourselves? and last but not least....> 3. Why do a black man fear his own beautiful black woman, when it comes to success...meaning when black male reach a successful level, they look to the other races for comfort and companionship.

I am a 36 year old black american mother of seven children and for years I was honored to grow up with black artist as a big part of society they had made it and I was the generation in which would applaud their performances because they strived to prove to their people that they could achieve great recognition It's nice to be part of black history because they as a people had more struggles than any other race and knowing their scarifices which were made has let me appreciate them more and respect their works I am proud of all the black americans who worked hard to prove their selves and gave us younger generations hope of becoming any thing that you dreamed you could be thank God for the, Martin Luther kings, the Dorothy Dandridge's who helped paved our way to being accepted as other human beings based on their credibility and talent. You will always be part of my Life. Thank you for making it possible for the rest of us having faith to dream and be anything we so desire

I stumbled upon this site in the wee hours of the morning (when I do my best writing). I am a junior in high school. I live in Hawaii, which is very ethnically diverse. However, racism is still a big issue here. I myself am "black" but we all know that this could mean any number of things. My father was from Panama, and my mother is full blood German (although not first generation). So all my life I've had some difficulty accepting my "race" and who I am exactly. At the moment I am in the process of writing a play about interracial relationships, and domestic abuse. I was struggling with the period of the piece, and decided that it would take place around the time that Dorothy Dandrige was in her prime. Thus, my search engine brought me to this site, and I am delighted to discover that it exists. I plan on sharing it with my friends and family. I will return here many times, I am sure. Thank you, what you are doing is wonderful. Rocky Fox

In 1964 the democraci started to deasapear in American Latin,infortuned with the help by the American Governament.In about 25 years we had been in a very bad situations,so that I�m writting to say no to the all kind of discrimination and infomat to you about the troubles still have in South America. In the book of Anne Frank she wrote � I don�t no when will stop, one year,ten years or one hundred years,but one day wiil stopped because I still believe in the Human Race�and the same I do.

Sammy Davis, Jr. was the 'ultimate entertainer'!! He was a great musician, actor, dancer and singer. He was born at a time where the odds were truly against him; being a black man in America with so much talent to showcase but being limited by hatred and bigotry. No one else could sing like him and I really miss the style and quality of his voice. May he rest in peace !

Love your site. There is so much information here that I could spend a good portion of the day here. I grew up in the 40's and the 50's and most of the Black people that I came in contact with were called "Domestics". They were like second Moms and Pops. I had some real good friends during that time.

I am a teenager and it amazes me to really lokk up to someone who was before my time. I admire Dorthy Dandridge. She was very wonderful and very talented. I really do look up to her even though she is gone and was gone before I was born, but from what I know by movies and biographys I know she was a good person. I love her dearly. DORTHY DANDRIDGE(my role modle) Rest In Peace! -Precious

I saw the Dorthy Dandridge story played by Halle Barry. I will say this much...even though Dorthy like Halle Barry faced racism they still had opportunities foreign to blacks past and present because of their white feautures. In essence, they are black but not black like Whoppi Goldburge which puts them into another category altogether "multi-racial". Just because a person is part black does not make them black because if that was the case many hispanics , italians, arabs, etc. would be black to but they are not classified as such. So lets get our genelogy and racial classifications straight!

tallulih(I hope I spelled that correctly) I Had a somewhat similar childhood. I too, went to school with different cultures. Remember the uncle with the nice car. I remember the first television in my house. I am from Brooklyn New York. My family had some means. We weren't rich or close, we had skills. We came from a time when our attributes were important. When I made it to california (oakland and San Fran.) Even their weight was smaller. You sound like someone that really can't see or haven't seen the racial problem even back then. You are old enough to remember when white people didn't hide their contempt for us. I will look at your next page tomorrow.

I was doing a book report on black history, and i happened to come across a biography about Dorothy Dandridge. I was intrigued by her instantly because i had never seen a woman so stunning as she was. i made it a point of renting carmen jones, and i loved it. I would go around the house imitating the scenes, and singing the songs in this movie. When Halle Benet portrayed her, I had the opportunity to observe the life of a remarkable woman. There will never be another Dorothy Dandridge.

Thank you for your commentary on Dorothy Dandridge. It was nice to read public opinion of her. I absolutely loved her in Carmen Jones and hope to see more of her works. I feel a true sense of humanity oozing from the person who was once Dorothy Dandridge. At the same time, I feel a sense of loss for a newly discovered treasure. To me she was the paradox that most people are, if they'll only admit it. Personally, I can relate to life's ups and downs, misuse by so-called friends, her compassion for life, and relentless pursuit of the ideal. None of us live as long as we may expect to. Life is too short. It's amazing how a beautiful spirit can walk this earth one day, and at best be a memory the next. Her memory is one that will live on with me. I hope to meet her someday in the next life. Keep telling the stories of legendary people. It's very inspiring.

I Loved ms. Dandridge and I was exceptionally proud of Halle Berry for re introducing this beautiful woman back to ushow could you forget genuine beauty and charisma like that but we black people have been blessed to receive that twice in one lifetime thanks to the remarkable resemblance Ms Berry hasto the late Ms Dandridge almost as if her gifts were transfered into her so overwhelmed to know within a spirit peole really never ever really die they just dissappear i would like to know more about Harolyn it's funny my husband name is howard and mne is lynne nd we said if we do accomplish another name it would be Harolyn it has strong meaning to me and it's very pretty too but unfortunately alot of our other positive lack woman have went on and dissappeared so naming a girl will be very hardbecause I can see it now the child will have 10 names because I simplied loved Aaliyah and that fit well with harolyn but now lisa lopes so now it's becoming hard to fit all names but somehow I know when the time comes it will just have to fit,somehow and just forgot about halle will also be used so you tell me what you think if it's a strange combinatin of names or is it a go based on Love which overides everything I believe it's a go but I've always thought about Harolyn since seeing the movie because I know I flt touched from the performance of Halle portraying dorothy with Lynn and that was the most difficult part to watch I cried like a baby and I still do when i repeatedely watch it because it's that good it's a favorite of mine.but is Harolyn still alive and where is she and do they have some kind of donation site for her on internet? if so can you tell me it I also know that ruby dandridge is now deceased as well as vivian and also harold Nicols but me as a fan does this naturally to research to keep informed about the artist i so truly Love thank you for your amazingly displayed site it's wonderful, hope to hear from you soon

I had to do a term paper on Billie Holiday. The assignment was to resurect afamouse person and have them confront things in this date and age. Everyone else was doing the same old people like Elvis and Marilyn monroe (no offense to those people) But doing Billie Holiday was a wonderful idea.

I was just wondering with all that she has done and been through why there arent more web sites dedicated to Dorothy...I even went to the Halle Berry site and saw next to nothing about Ms.Dandridge. Why is that...she was one of the leading forces of blacks being seen as so much more then just maids mammys and drunks on "The Big Screen" and where is her star on the walk of fame?

I am white. I feel very angry at what other white people do to young African Americans. I feel that we are uneducated of what African Americans are. There should have been something done to whites who did this kind of thing but if they said they didn't do it they were let go without punishment. Some whites are careless and stupid. Sometimes I'm sorry there my ancestors. I really do feel bad. Thank you.

Hello; I am a 44 year old white female that just went back to get my high school diploma and i am studying American History and i choose to do a report on Rosa Parks, and i would like to say that i am so very interested in her life and what she has done not to mention what she had to go through. I know how hard it was for me to go back to school after almost 30 years and now it seems like nothing after reading about the civil movements and the history of the African Americans. I would like to say Thank You for all the information and for doing what you did that really helped this nation even though it took a long time and we have a long way to go you really have done alot. Thank you again so very much and i wish you and your family many more happy and healthy years to come.

Rosa parks is a women as inspired me. I am not black, but to me everyone is equal and Mrs. Rosa Louise McCauley Parks as helped me more and more to believe that. At first I did not know who Rosa Parks was, I must edmit I do not pay alot of attention in Socail Studies, but seens I am an 8th grader we have to write a term paper about an american person who changed and is a legend to our world and U.S. We had to pick a tag out of a jar that said the name of the person we had to write a term paper on. I got Rosa Parks and I asked my Language Arts teacher "Who is she?" She told me she was the lady who would not move on the bus. A week or two later I found that I had searched about twenty different websites on Mrs. Parks and found everything from her childhood, marriage, family background, educatoins, jobs, the lawsuit Parks VS. OutKast, the bus boycott, her arrests,protests, awards, speeches you name it. I felt after hours a day researching on Mrs. Parks I knew her more then Mr. Raymond Parks knew her. I would jsut like to say to everyone one that if you ever get the chance to pick a person to write about I am requesting you pick Mrs. Parks and amazing, confident, incrediable legend that changed not only her world but everyones world. if you ask me, I think we all have a little of Mrs. Parks in us. Mrs. Parks if you are reading this, I would just like to thank you so much for the life you changed for all of us. I know you do not like all the credit, but seriously thank you so much. If you ever have the time to read this please write me back. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read this. It was an honor to share my adventure with you.

At first, I didn't know much about the tragic death of Marvin Gaye, it really surprised me.When my mom told me that his own father shot him, I was really hurt. But now, I know that everythings going to be okay, because now I've seen Nona (Marvin Gaye's daughter) expressing herself and comming out of the shell. Everythings going to be okay, Nona. -Linda Hubbard, 12yrs old

to Sir With Love, There's a class on "CARIING 103" waiting for the spirit of your mom's to teach. New York City Educators will be your students. We Need to have a "Classy Act" like you teach us want its like learning to read and act with little training. Maybe, then Teachers will see students whom struggle with reading as deserving of proper reading instructions and remediation.

Dear Ms. Dandridge, You may rest in peace now. On March 24,2002, seventy-four years later after you were first nominated for the Ocars. It was finally won by your reincarnation Ms. Halle Berry. You were beautiful , and Hollywood could not handle you . GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do appreciate information from your site, I think it is important to say that Sidney Poitier was a Bahamian and not someone born in the Caribbean because geographically that information is incorrect. The Bahamas is not in the Caribbean, because it is not washed by the Caribbean Sea. you need to be careful of details, you put in poor farmers, but did not distinguish even his parents' names....... I would appreciate an email, from you discribing your intentions to change and and an email saying whether this helped or not

I really love Mrs. Dorthy Dandrige and I would really love to know more about her, I saw the Movie with Halley Berry about a thousand times and she did a wonderful job, but I really love to know what evr happend to Mrs Dandriges Daughter? is she still alive? and how old is she? and how does she really look? Mrs. dandrige had so much to live for and I wish that I was old enough at that time to talk to her and be her friend to let her know that it would be allright. I to live in Cleveland Ohio and I know were she use to stay at in Cleveland of corse it is buildings and other things there now I am not sure if there are any houses right at her address it is sort of hard to determine. if you have any more info on her please let me know and would you please send it to me, because she is my hero.

My 6 year old daughter is doing a report on Alex Haley for Black History Month. I was 11 when I read Roots for the first time. Where I grew up was a very racial and biased area. For a white girl to be reading "black" books was unthinkable. But, I didn't care. I was entranced by the book. I read it in one week during my summer break. My daughter also is entranced by the story. He was a great man.

Love Dick Clark. American BandStand was the best show in the 1950s.I had a chance to be on the show in 1959. It will always be my one dream that came true. As for MR. Clark he shook my hand and was very kind. Thank you for that dream.

Something in the way she moves......is a line from one of the most loved songs by Beatle, George Harrison. My Sweet Lord was also written by the quiet one. I will miss my friend who through his music I grew up. I screamed loudly at my TV, as the Beatles sang on the Ed Sullivan. Overnight the music changed the world was how it seemed at that time. I am blessed to have grown up during a most amazing time; the last 50 years of the 20th Century.

I came to this page by special request to garnering more support from blacks. I was immediately intriqued to view the history information, as my family, in particular, E. D. Nixon, was extremely pivotal with designing and implementing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. I'm hard pressed to understand how your organization can tell any portion of the Civil Rights Movement in Montgomery, Alabama and not mention his contribution, even to the point that he encouraged Rosa Parks for quite some time to take the action she did and he bailed her out of jail. Can I stay and support misinformation? Must we also continually print HIStory?

I am a 16 year old girl from Georgia. I know that that was really hard on Rosa Parks. Although in these times there has been a lot of changes, but in some parts of Ga. things are still the same. I mean we still have an all white school, we even have Black people proms and white people proms. But I pray that one day We all can just come together with out any tragedies. For instance you see all these people coming together now after the September 11,2001 tragedy.

I truly enjoyed reading about Ms. Eartha Kitt. She is truly woman that has talent,and is very candid. i like her matter of fact attitude. Ms. Kitt shows that age is only a number, which is what i am trying to depitct. I am 56 years old and most people think I am 38 and some may even say 42 years old. I am happy that Ms. Kitt prides herself i staying healthy and fit , which is what I trying to do. The most important thing that I want to say is that 89% of the people I meet say that I have a striking resemlance of Eartha Kitt. I don't think so (a very flattering compliment) but almost everyone says that i do, including the voice. The site on Ms. Kitt was informative and delightful to read. MARY ANN TIDWELL~BROUSSARD

I love Huey P. Newton! I think him and Bobby did a good job with the Pnther Party. He moved me in such a good way, that every time I hear his name i gotta know why. If Huey was alive he would probably think that his Party did a good job in representing the Black people. But he would be upset that some of the problems then still exist. He would probably be still fighting but now int he way that he did it. I hope that Black kids every where learn about them.

I think your website is really great. I wish that when I learnt history in school that it had been from websites like this. How else can we learn from the past, except from the "real" people who were there. I am an Australian and have never understood why there is an issue about colour, or religion. What is in my heart is what matters, not the colour of my skin, or the language I speak or the clothes that I wear. I want my children to adhere to those principles too. Thanks for sharing your stories.

I think the next generation has lost the idea that it is a continuning strugle to be even in the game and if we as a people not just of color, but people of color dont get the Idea of how we are minuplated and come to gather we will neaver gain financial freedom, in america its the money and only the money that counts. un less you want to buy NBC and your name is Cosby then that is something different. keep hope alive.

On this, my comment will short, sweet, strong, and brief. I support Black America's most hated "Uncle Tom" the man we know as Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas. Just because some people may not agree with his decisions, his beliefs, or his way of life, who are we to judge. We ought to be happy, that he is the second and only other black man to serve on the Supreme Court. Let's be honest Black America, if he hadn't gotten the position, we would have cried they didn't give to him because he is black and they don't want another black man on the bench. We should be thankful that we have another black man believe or not representing our race in such a prestigiuos postion. Instead of putting the man down, support him; because the worst kind of racism, is racism within our own race, which is something we must stop. Because as long as we hold each other back, we will never advance as a race. So don't blame the white man for our so-called problems, we must take a look at ourselves as see where blames lie. Well that's all I have to say like or not. Peace to all cultures and One Love!

I think that Dorothy Dandridge is not only a huge contributer to the black society but in the white society as well. She showed the world at a horrible time that you have to do what you believe in to get what you want. The only thing is, is that she could have had so much more if she hadn't died so soon. But, I truley believe that she would be happy knowihg that she made life easier for others and knowing that she is a true inspiration to all of us.

Mr. Poitier is one of the few people in hollywood regardless of race or gender that I respect with the highest regard. He has gone through events while being a black actor because he had to balance the possibility of being to "soft" but also being strong. Alot of people called him a "uncletom" or that he lacked the "true sex symbol status" that he should have acquired. I believe two of his most powerful moments occured during a particular interview and during "In the Heat of the Night". The interview when for one of the few times he was reaching the boiling point when reporters were asking ignorant questions and he emphatically told them in a powerful manner to ask questions about him as a person and not just a person of color. The other occured in the movie "In the Heat of the Night" where the sherriff slapped him to which Mr. Poitier(Mr. Tibbs in the movie i think) slapped him back immediately. It was the timing and how he starred the sherriff down when he did so. It, to me, was one of the most powerful moments that I have seen in movies because it was during a time in the civil rights movement and tensions were boiling amongst the cultures and society. To me, he was slapping at the JimCrow laws, discrimination and whatever injustices that black people have had to endure. His importance to Hollywood and to the Civil Rights movement can never be measured.

I am currently a freshman in college writing a profile paper about her. She is one of the most interesting African American women in history. She was able to rise above all the hatred and racial slurs that was often heard in her day. I truely honor and look up to her in every way. It is women like her that enable young African American women,like myself, to stay proud of yourself-and do not let anyone tell you any less, because of your race.

Dear Sir, Your point of view, based primarily and exclusively on your visual observation, represents your obvious lack of knowledge surrounding the facts associated with the sciences of heredity and genetics... The random possibilities when combining dominant and recessive genes, especially when it comes to skin color, is as random as the colors you see in our African American color spectrum. Just as there are 500 shades of blue, the complex mixes of color can "visually" yield incorrect assumptions. The statement that Ms. Ertha Kitt made that she is of mixed origin can not be challenged on visual observation... The only way you or I could accurately "know" her heritage is to "know" her parents, grandparents, and/or great grandparents... Furthermore, your not leaving a return address for the "Truth Man" leads me to believe that you are hiding behind your opinions and are not looking for the truth, and should be called "Opinion Man"... Besides, we all need to grow up a little and stop looking at color and look for content...

This bio is incorrect. Eartha Kitt is NOT bi-racial. If she is claiming that now then it is revisionist history. She always claimed in her many interviews in the 60's and 70's that as a child she was called "yellow girl" again, this could not be true because she is by no stretch of the imagination what Black people refer to as "yellow". It sounds good for the people who don't know. However, look at her....she is NOT of mixed parentage.
Truthman

The information about Missa Kitt came from her book, "Alone With Me", she states that her father was White and her mother was Black with Cherokee Indian blood, that would make her of mixed racial parentage. Whatever her background is, this is her story, one that she feels comfortable with sharing. I stand by this information.

Insites about our past and future has always been a great tool for learning. We tend to take things for granted at times without looking back at those who have paved our way. I have been a great believer in education of black history. Those who have wrote their insites about their favorite writer/or artist, I must give props and hope that they will continue sharing their views. Voice matter.

I thank my parents for the repect that I have for others that aren't like me.

I would like to say that William Shellman is truly a great man of his time. To my husband and I, he represents a decent, kind, highly intelligent and interresting person. He needs to be able to tell his story to the world and with his great story-writing abilities he should be honored amoung all writers. It is with pride we know this gentleman and hope he will keep making strides to bridge the gap amoung all races with talent and concern for all mankind.

Hi. I am trying to run down a rumor that Thedore Roosevelt had African-American relatives, based upon a letter that my father, C.H. (Brick) Garrigues, wrote on June 11, 1936. He wrote: "What I really want to do is to go to the ranch of a Negro friend of mine in Mexico, not far from the border. He -- a second cousin of Theodore Roosevelt, a Harvard Law graduate, etc. -- started a colony there twenty years ago, and it went flooey. He has 8,700 acres with two families on it. " This is for a book I am writing. You can read the index at http://www.Themestream.com/articles/138132.html . Just thought I would ask you. George L. Garrigues

(I am sorry to inconvenience you, but Ms. King's Web Pages are shut down. I would be very grateful if you could forward this letter to her. Thank you. --mak) 4326 N. Via Bellas Catalinas Tucson, AZ 85718-7425 Ms. Coretta Scott King Health Policy Activist Subject: Your Dallas address to A.O.R.N. this past weekend. March 13, 2001 Dear Ms. King: As a Professor of Medicine and a scholar of health care delivery and policy systems, I was pleased to learn that someone of your stature has declared : �Quality, affordable health care is not a privilege . . . but an inalienable right.� Most in the academic community who have studied this issue agree, but there are four points about the problem that many Americans do not understand. I should like to summarize these for you in an effort to encourage you to hold steadfast to this belief so that you, supported by people like me, may be able to bring this concept into the political dialogue � where today it does not exist. The four misunderstandings Americans have are the answers to these questions: Does the U.S. agree that health care is a right? Should health care activists support a patient�s right to sue his HMO? Does covering every American take precedence over providing a prescription benefit for Medicare seniors? What are the steps to achieving universal health care, and how can we make the problem real for the average politician? First, the U.S. does have a specific policy known throughout the world on universal coverage, although few Americans know it. It was most recently enunciated in 1993 when we signed onto The World Bank Policy, for perfectly sound economic reasons: �health is a private matter and health care a private good.� This is current U.S. policy, for otherwise, loans to third world countries could not be paid back without privatization of their social obligations to their people. Second, if we divert our attention from universal coverage to support a patient�s right to sue his HMO, will the health care of America increase? No. There is no budget for suing HMOs, so those funds will go directly from the health care budget into lawyers� pockets. Support of Universal Health Care will increase the health care budget from its current amount of $1.2 trillion. The right to sue doesn�t do anything for the 47 million of us who are uninsured. Third, we all must agree that it is shameful that Medicare recipients do not have a built in prescription benefit, and these drugs prevent further expense from hospitalization down the line. However, only one health care issue is likely to be successful over a 30 year period in our history: Social Security in the 1930s and Medicare and Medicaid in 1964. We are due for another one, and I do not think it is a Medicare prescription benefit when we compare the payback. Approximately 10% of the 40 million Medicare enrollees have no drug benefit, or about four million. They have understandably sympathetic politicians arguing for them, as would I, if we did not have more pressing needs. There are 47 million people who have no insurance whatever, for drugs or for walking into a doctor�s office. If we have to choose, which we surely do, we need to insure the 47 million. Failure to do so makes no economic nor social sense. A child with a broken arm and no insurance will take up expensive and unnecessary emergency room time which we shall all pay for at a premium instead of having the child go to his prepaid orthopedist�s office at a much lower price. The social price of no insurance denies the child his chance to play soccer and learn cooperative social skills in schools; for if he breaks his arm, his mother may wind up homeless, and he a criminal a decade away. What steps do we take? There are many experts like me, Ms. King, who would surrender our own current jobs to join you in educating America, to convince senior Americans that this is a more important issue than a prescription benefit or a right to sue. From there, it�s a matter of lobbying candidates and voting them into office. It takes only national leadership to give us this commitment. We saw this in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the space program. The President asked for it, and no one raised the issue of cost. We just did it. People like me await your call. In order to document my background, I shall append below a profile and a brief resume. I appreciate the opportunity to present this argument to you. Please forgive my submitting it to many organizations you represent, since I cannot find your address through regular search methods. Sincerely yours, Murray A. Katz, M.D. Brief Profile of Murray A.

i am a HUGE fan of Billie Holiday, i am an inspiring singer...and 13 years old. Ms. Holiday is a big influence on me, she is my role model. I came across this site searching for Billie Holiday information for my speech. It is on Billie Holiday and Etta Fitz Gerald...my favourite singers.Now, i am white... and many people i know dont know much of Billie Holiday or any black jazz singers...pretty much only Louis Armstrong!!! and i feel very privledged introducing her life story to them. For my speech i think i may start off by singing "god bless the child" or "dont mean a thing" if you have any extra information on Billie or Etta, please email me. Yours Truly, Brianne Wilson

I am glad you have a page for Billie! I think she was a beautiful and extremely "real" person as well as a mighty talent. There are a few incorrect items on your page you might like to correct. Her mother, "Duchess", was a VERY loving and concerned mother. She was just very young herself (13) when Billie was born. She did often have to go away to earn money to help support Billie and leave her with family. Billie was not illiterate. She made it to 5th grade when her own mother didn't get to go to school at all. In fact, she taught her mother to read and write as well. They enjoyed getting letters from friends and fellow musicians like Louis Armstrong while they were on the road. Billie wrote several of her most famous songs including "God Bless the Child" and "Don't Explain". "Strange Fruit", however, came partly from a poem by Lewis Allen and inspired mainly by the death of Billie's father. Clarene Holiday, a guitarist and veteran, was on tour in Texas, got pneumonia and was denied medical treatment because of his color. There are several good biographies of Billie, but perhaps the most touching, honest, and informative is Billie's own autobiograph "Lady Sings the Blues." Thanks and keep spreading the gospel of jazz.

I'm from India. I read 'Roots' very recently;in the 27th year of my life.The book is my bible.I've laughed and cried with the characters while reading the book.The last chapter overwhelms me whenever I read it. And I read it everytime I need to believe in goodness and completeness of life.

I really enjoyed the colored reflections.It's deep ~ very. I think this page was a great idea.It took me back to my roots.You know i was in this discussion today about african americans, and they were unbelieveable.I just couldn't believe this brother was dogging out a black sista.Stating that his people is lazy ~ I amitt maybe some;but not all.i need to introduce that guy to this site to give him a better insite about whats going on.The discussion was really a BLACK leader for our people.So we were talking about who was strong enough to handle the leadership.So the guy says;well it can't be a woman because she's not capable of taking on such task.He says a woman belongs in the kitchen busting subs.I said well if thats the case then why did we see our women at the million woman march if in the house is where she suppose to be.I told him if a woman can put together and lead a million mom march then she is able to be a leader.a woman have proved to us being apart us is the hardest part ( tring to relate to the rib of man ) and man know this so he have the biggest advantage over a woman.But what man don't understand is a woman is alot stronger than we give them credit for.because i have seen in the modern day what a woman can do.Some women can do somethings better then us.In my opinion .I honsestly know that anybodycan do anything if they put thier mind to it.We can move mountains if thats how we think.The mind is a tool a key to sucess but only if you know how to use it.I tell myself daily the mind is terrible thing to waste.And each time i tell myself that i get head strong and keep on pushing.Praying to God telling him my needs and don't needs and he leads me in the path where i should go and don't go.He said son life has a limit so do what you do best and be good at it.NO ONE lives forever. Well love and let love keep you under the wings of God and be safe thru out the rest of your life may God keep you! GOD BLESS KEITH.

I actually have a question more than a comment. I am trying to find the name of a movie that starred Sidney Poitier. In this movie, he taught a young girl. During the course of the instruction, she had to learn about several different African Americans he had posted around a room. Each time she learned one, she could remove it from the wall. Her lessons were over when all of the pictures were removed. If you can help me identify the name of this movie, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

I like the way Dorothy performed on stage,she really inspired me her voice was very beautiful I wish my voice was that great.The movie"Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" that was a really good movie and it was sad at the end she mad her way through life with talented voice I will never forget the day she got in that pool and they had to drain it that was sad how they treated her,but she still went on with her life....That was something I will never forget about Dorothy...

I am a black woman who writes poetry from some of the experiences in my life. I also write biographies about my grandfather who is an unsung hero in the fight for freedom. In 1950 I applied for a a typist clerk position at an Army facility in La. I got it after being called out of my name by the tester because a woman from Washington D.C. was present. Look under Poetry from the Heart under Fiction Showcase and Write allery for some of my work.

Dorothy Dandridge was the african american Marilyn Monroe of the 1950's and 1960's. She was beautiful and talented but was not of so much because she was black and not so many people were fond of blacks at that time. If she would have lived she would have been a top movie star like Julia Roberts even though her age, because she could act and she was BEAUTIFUL.

I work in an elementary school and so many kids can't identify with some of our historical figures. Thank you for all you have contributed. Keep up the good work.

I want to take this time to say thank you for your site. I am a 21 year old, white female History teacher and your site opens doors for the world. It allows people to see first hand the horror that black Americans faced for so many years and illustrates the stuggles and contributions made to get where we are today. While this country may not be perfect, it is because of the great leaders like MLK and Malcom X that I am proud to say that I am an American just like anyone else. Thank you so much. I will share this website with my students and colleagues. God Bless You in your continued effort to promote equality. Sincerely, Heather Dahl

James Cleveland, Margaret Pleasant-Douroux, and this year Jester Hairston. I was delighted to stumble up on this web site from my search word "Jester Hairston."

I was surfing the web this morning looking for sites that featured articles on notable African Americans and I ran across this one, Colored Reflections. I am one of two liaisons for our African American Association and we are in the midst of finalizing our black history program. Since I work at a hospital, I was very interested in people in the medical field. I was pleased to learn that the website is culturally diverse and features a variety of people. It's a good website for all ages and the fact that people can share their stories is a nice touch. Thanks.

As a young film director I watch A great deal of movies, I recently saw 'The shining', and the wonderful Scatman Corothers. I remember seeing this wonderful actor in 'One Flew Over the Coockoos Nest'. His efforless acting and natural warmth and charisma cannot be understated. Scatman is as prime example of wonderful actors being born and not manufactured as is the trend in todays movie world (Catherine Zeta Jones, Nicholas Cage etc). I was sadened to learn of his death in 1986.

I just discovered your site, recommended by a friend, and do not have time to explore this morning, but hope to soon. I'm sure you've heard this one: "A black man talks to a white man: When I was born I was black, When I grew up I was black, When I'm sick I'm black, When I go in the sun I'm black, When I'm cold I'm black, When I die I'll be black. But you: When you're born you're pink, When you grow up you're white, When you're sick, you're green, When you go in the sun you turn red, When you're cold you turn blue, and when you die you turn purple. And you have the nerve to call me colored." I am a white woman. As a lesbian, I am also one of the people in the US who have experienced discrimination and who's history (herstory) is hidden and denied, whose experiences are invalidated. My spouse is a black woman. June, 2000 we celebrated our 20th anniversary. Is you consider our lives and stories, as lesbians and as an interracial couple, to be appropriate to this site, I will submit a contribution. Keep up the good work! Sue

I am a female impersonator and I have been impersonating Diana Ross since I was nineteen. In my act I also portray a Diana style Billie Holiday and when I sing songs like Good Morning Heart Ache and Them There Eyes I can really feel something. I really think that Billie Holiday was the greatest singer of all time and when a fan told me that I made a great Billie Holiday I thought to myself that I would love to do a tribute concert to this legendary singer. Can you help me? I have also just finished writing a manuscript about my experiences as a dragqueen entertainer. I would love to hear from someone.

ROSA PARKS IS A VERY BRAVE WOMAN IN WHAT I HAVE READ AND HEARD ABOUT. I AM DOING A PROJECT FOR SCHOOL ON ROSA PARKS AND WAS VERY SHOCKED AT SOME THINGS I READ ABOUT THAT HAPPENED. iT'S EMBARRASING TO THINK WHAT WE (AMERICANS) PUT THE BLACKS THROUGH DURING THOSE TIMES. AND STILL PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE CONCEPTS. i STILL CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO HER AND THE OTHER BLACKS.
