Remarks by the First Lady at the International Women of Courage Awards | The White House | If these women . . .
March 15, 2010
Listen closely, because if these women can endure relentless threats, brutal violence, and separation from their families as they fight for their causes –- then surely, you all can keep going when you face struggles and obstacles in your own lives.
If these women can start developing their passion for justice as teenagers, if Sonia Pierre could stand up and protest and demand better conditions for migrant workers at the age of 13 –- an act for which she was arrested — (applause) — then none of you are too young to start making a difference. Right? (Applause.)
And if these women can make so many sacrifices to help so many people –- then the least we all can do in this room, in this country is to shine a light on their work and honor their contributions. (Applause.)

Tom Joyner . . “to gain the love and respect he once received from black America, he [Tavis Smiley] will have to find it in his heart to show love and respect for the president.”
March 15, 2010
I hope that somehow, someway, Tavis will realize that if he is ever to gain the love and respect he once received from black America, he will have to find it in his heart to show love and respect for the president. It’s just that simple. And there’s a big difference in saying you have love and showing it.
Love is unconditional – or it should be anyway. That’s why I can be upset and disappointed with Tavis and some of the decisions he’s made over the last few years, but still love and respect him enough not to turn my back on him.
When I hear and read about the hate people have for Tavis right now, it makes me sad. Because I know that if Tavis knew how to get out of this situation, he would. But it’s not in him to do what needs to be done, to recognize he has gone down a wrong path, and his only real option is to turn around.

B-AWARE Foundation Presents The 4th Annual“A-Town Day“
SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, March 20th 2010 at 12pm, the family can enjoy fun-filled activities, food and music while receiving free health screenings and information at the 4th annual “A-Town Day.” With over 7,000 in attendance last year, the goal is to raise funds with the proceeds going towards The Diabetes Association of Atlanta & B-AWARE Foundation.
www.atownday.com –The largest outdoor community outreach awareness festival and concert in the city of Atlanta deemed by State Representative Kathy Ashe and given its‘ own House Resolution (1658) has partnered with The Spirit of Sweet Auburn. ”We made the move to the Historic Sweet Auburn District in an attempt to bring awareness directly to the community. We felt this would help us bring in additional donations to all of the charities involved. We do this event to convey awareness to the community; this move allows us to drop the prices on everything from tickets to vendor booths. We aim to make the entire city AWARE. We do not want anyone to miss out on the AWARENESS messages because the ticket prices are too high, eventually A-TOWN DAY will be a free event for the city of Atlanta,“ excitedly states the founder of A-Town Day, Brian Glasper.
Children 6 and under are free and general admission is only $5. Organizations taking part include: Diabetes Association Of Atlanta, Atlanta Fire Department, The Red Cross, Fulton County Voter Registration, Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau, Fulton & DeKalb County Health Departments, Fulton County Human Resources with McDonald’s, Wal-Mart and Bally’s Total Fitness as sponsors of the event. Entertainment will include performances from artists in every type of music genre – rock, gospel, R&B, spoken word to Hip-Hop who will share health care and environmental statistics before each performance.
