Is Dr. Martin Luther King's dream still alive?






"Finally! While this book includes a thorough and eye-opening look at the reasons why we still have such racial division in our country, it also offers solutions! We cannot wait another day to move forward with healing and true reparations, and now we have a real plan to do so."  ~Laura
Dotrazn:  "The Fun of Living Together highlights the founding principles that make this nation uniquely capable of overcoming its racial dichotomy. The authors do a tremendous job of placing this county's history in context with its current affairs. Grimes's exhaustive knowledge of the United States Declaration of Independence and the authors' intent behind these words provide a clear backdrop for the reader to understand the initial principles behind the sentiment, equality for all.

"Glover offers insightful perspectives on the Jim Crow Segregation, The Civil War, and other tumultuous times in our nation's history. Glover offers deep perspectives of how we came about our current views of race and cultural appropriation. Ultimately this is a great start for finding common ground in the conversation about racial inequality. There is a subtle Christian tone to the narrative that helps the reader discover new ideas of addressing forgiveness and change."


"Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, 'Wait.' But … when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky … when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of 'nobodiness' – then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait." – Martin Luther King, Jr. – from Letter from Birmingham Jail, April, 1963 

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'… I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." – Martin Luther King, Jr., from his I Have a Dream Speech, August, 1963 

Dr. King has waited long enough! It's time for us to come together and make his dream come true. 

Roberta Grimes is a small-business attorney and an afterlife researcher. Kelley Glover is a singer and music instructor whose "U BETTER Sing!" program teaches children the joy of sight-singing from the heart. We hope you will join us in coming together to end forever all racial divisions. Dr. King's dream still beckons to us. Now the future can begin!

Creating Your Story Title by Mary Deal

Something writers of multiple stories will experience: Titles may come to you in a flash. Some will take a bit of thinking through. Say you’ve written your first and only story thus far. You may feel you have a great title for that one piece of prose. However, caution should be taken due to lack of experience in titles. You can only know how easy or how difficult choosing a title will be after you’ve written a few stories. For the person who writes many stories or many books, again, choosing a title may come easy, or it may be one of the most difficult aspects of writing. Some writers are unable to start a story unless they have a great title lined up. Then, with that title in mind, they set out to write, only to change the title once they see where the plot and characters lead them. Some authors cannot title a story till it’s written and rewritten for the umpteenth time. Then they decide. Whatever your preference, titles are just as important as the overall story itself...

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, ...
