I remember this from my childhood, the great Mahalia Jackson, which I think is so appropriate. RIP Dr. King, shaped my ways of thinking. xx

On another note I saw an E.T. segment while I was out , that the Afro Americans were thinking of boycotting the Oscars next year ?
I wouldn`t blame them if they did .
I was disgusted with the Oscars when the Colour Purple was nominated for so many Oscars and they did not score one , unbelievable ,
I thought they should have received at least 10 Oscars.for that movie. It was and is a classic.
I have never viewed the Oscars in the same light since , it is definetly biased .
