I Raise My Fist and Join One Billion Rising

"No uprising fails. Each one is a step in the right direction"
Salud Algabre (Generalla, Sakdalista Movement), 1970

Let us join the global movement to end violence against women.
One Billion Rising calls on all women (and the men who love them) from all over to world, to come together on February 14, 2013, to rise, raise their fist in one voice, and dance...until the violence stops.

A video of Nina Simone

Nina Simone was a gifted singer who wrote poetry and songs, composed music ang played the piano. She sang this song - "Young, Gifted and Black" - which became the 'national anthem' of the blacks during the time of Martin Luther King. I can't help but be amazed at her talent and of how her audience reacts to her singing - simply awesome.
