I am still finding it difficult to wrap my mind around the loss of Michaela DePrince at 29 years old. A game changer in the Ballet world from Sierra Leone, Harlem to the world.  This morning my take was through her life, a lesson. The lesson whatever you are doing, learning, practicing 'to make it your own' whether you are young or old. Be positive in your pursuit or pursuits.

What is interesting is that the African Americans broke away from the First Baptist Church in San Francisco because of segregation.

 I am writing a Wikipedia article for Urania Cummings. She is an artist who started painting at 65. After raising her children.  She became well-known in the San Francisco Bay area.  When writing Wikipedia articles there is so much information I find that I can't add to the article.  Writing Wikipedia articles stir my imagination with thoughts and ideas that I won't be able to use. Some information will not have references.   I found an online interview with Urania Cummings. She talked about her social life in San Francisco before she got married. She mentions the formal cosmos debutante balls. She talked about how beautiful San Francisco was, and the exquisite social events held at fancy ball rooms. She talks about courtship and social events that were by invitation.  These were events when radio was in its early stages, and television wasn't developed yet. Urania talked about events and meetings she went to with her husband. One in particular was...

Palestine Culture , History. What you will not learn on the evening news.  The Wikipedia Book Creator is not operative. Alkebulan Wiki Edit and Study Group have decided to use blogspot instead until Wikipedia Book Creator gets reinstalled. Palestine History Map Gaza Before & After Bombing Attacks.  During  Sheltering in Place we used the Wikipedia Book Creator to create curriculum for learning, research, and discussions.  We had wanted to compile information about Palestine from existing Wikipedia articles. Since most of us know very little about that part of the world; its history, culture, and struggles.   We did a Wikipedia book using the book creator for Ukraine for Dummies. So we decided to do the same for Palestine. The legendary news mainstream does not educate us in ways other than with their agenda as to how we should think.   I wanted to create an article to show what existed in Palestine before the bombing.  We have to take it upon o...
