I 'digg' it. Just wanted to tell you how much things like this are appreciated. With the across-the-board voting of the American people, it is my hope that we blur the lines which have separated us for so long. There should have been no need for Black History Month, Ms Black America, etc. That was born out of the need for us to recognize our own achievements and establish our own standards of beauty. The sacrifices of the ancestors, activists and pioneers have borne beautiful fruit. Now we can all take strive toward fulfillment of our potential as citizens...and feel the same pride as all of our other American brethren. Most Sincerely, Lorna Rainey (great-granddaughter of the Hon. Joseph H. Rainey, America's first Black Congressman) Hi Corey,
