    Impeachment and Iran's Solution To Our Presidential Challenges

    Check-in: Recap of the MLK holiday. We had two very different experiences, yet found pleasure and inspiration in both.  The current president has been problematic to say the least.  Some say the solution is to remove him from his job, while others say.... well Iran has a $3 million idea.  https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-impeachment-trial-01-22-20/index.html Checkout: Black Wall Street. YOOO, next time you take a trip or even in your very own city pull up the app for the Official Black Wall Street to find all the black owned businesses around you. Facts:  -Black Wall Street was Greenwood, the  historic freedom colony in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "As one of the most prominent concentrations of African-American businesses in the United States during the early 20th century, it was popularly known as America's "Black Wall Street" until the Tulsa race riot of 1921, in which white residents massacred as many as 300 black residents, injuring hundreds more, and razed the neighborhood within hours." -A dollar stays in the black community 6 hours compared to the 28 days in the Asian community. - We can change this! -“You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism.”– MLK speech to his staff, 1966.
