I went to hear Dr. King speak for the first time as a young man in 1962 at Oakland Auditorium. I was an engineering and design major at college and I wasn't a part of any organization yet. The auditorium held 7,000 people and every seat was packed. He was speaking about boycotting the bread companies who were refusing to hire people of color. He talked about boycotting Wonder Bread and he said,"We're going to boycott them so consistently and so profoundly, we're going to make Wonder Bread wonder where the money went." I got enthusiastically involved with the civil rights movement after that. This is the man who first inspired me to be involved.

A few years later, I worked with and gave the Black Panther Party support to Dr. King on his Poor People's March. Dr. Ralph Abernathy called me personally and said "Mr. Seale, Dr. King would like to know if you would be willing to participate in a broad roundtable of organizations across the country working together in the struggle to end institutionalized racism." I said, "Yes, the Black Panther Party will definitely work with you and Dr. King on anything you want to do." People don't know that we crossed those lines.

Dr. King's legacy is manifested in moving to evolve and get rid of institutionalized racism in America. From the moral standpoint to the practical community organizing standpoint. It was about nonviolence and rightfully so. It was about the first amendment of the constitution. The first amendment of the Constitution gives all of us the right to peacefully assemble and address our grievances. At that time the power structure began to attack, murder, shoot, kill and brutalize peaceful demonstrators. In other words violating their constitutional, democratic, civil and human rights to organize, unify and educate the people.

When I look at Dr. King's legacy and what we stood up for, the amount of people that were killed in the civil rights protests and later in my organization - I had 28 Black Panther Party members killed in attacks from the police who were trying terrorize us out of existence - when I look at that I have a very great affinity for Dr. King and everything he inspired me to be.


All Power To All The People!

Dear Kangah, 

Sharing with you off list this Côte d'Ivoire online University at World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/C%C3%B4te_d%27Ivoire(https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States) - which is not yet in French or the other languages of Côte d'Ivoire (as wiki schools for open teaching and learning). World Univ & Sch is like Wikipedia/Wikidata in its 298 languages with CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in its 5 languages, and plans to offer online free CC-4 OCW-centric university and high school degrees - Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. and I.B. high school - in all ~200 countries' official languages. (WUaS donated itself to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, and got this new WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki in 2017 as a consequence).

Cheers, 
Scott

... an ONLINE Robotics, Programming and ESL for kids learning opportunity all in one :)

Hi Ralph,

Thanks so much for your email just now. It looks like we emailed from about 11/28/2015 to 3/26/2016 and re our English speaking learning in group video Hangouts. How are you in Venezuela? The weather isn't too bad in winter in the SF Bay Area. World Univ & Sch has gotten our new wiki and here's the new ESL wiki page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language - which anybody can edit. (And here's the related https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language_for_Kids ).

I'm checking out the Lego Robotics' WeDo 2.0 - https://education.lego.com/en-us/products/lego-education-wedo-2-0-core-set/45300 . It works with the Scratch drag and drop programming language - https://scratch.mit.edu/download - from MIT. (Both involve a couple of other pre-software installations).

I found We Do 2.0 Lego for Education on Harvard Prof. Karen Brennan's Twitter feed recently - https://twitter.com/karen_brennan .

and re a We Do 2.0 and Scratch Meetup in the city where I was born - https://twitter.com/TOTALTeacher/status/969993653568589824 .

We Do 2.0 is potentially usable in an actual-virtual way - https://twitter.com/SpeakkVisually/status/957331694452969472
and https://twitter.com/scratch/status/969333088575684609 - with Scratch programming of the Lego. Cool. I posted all of these tweets here recently - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch.

If you got a set of We Do 2.0 Lego Education Robots for your son (and if I get a set too), would you like to explore building Lego robots remotely and as ESL for Kids - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language_for_Kids - remotely?

This is an ONLINE Robotics, Programming and ESL for kids learning opportunity all in one :)

Let's see if we can make further the world a better place to live. (Organizing remote We Do 2.0 / Scratch Meetups in Spanish might be a further opportunity here, but people would need to get the We Do 2.0 Legos). Does your son already have access to some Lego?

Cheers,
Scott

Check out Markus Kroetzsch's video, pinned here to the top of Info @ World University and School .org 's G+ feed -
https://plus.google.com/u/2/+InfoWorldUniversityinEnglish/posts/c4QyjJ4dnRS (see email address above too).

I think he's one of the founders of the Semantic Web - http://korrekt.org/ - and is now one of the main structured knowledge database heads at Wikidata/Wikibase, which is Wikipedia's "back end" in 299 languages. His Semantic Web papers could be very helpful here- https://iccl.inf.tu-dresden.de/web/Wissensbasierte_Systeme/en - and as a Professor of this in Dresden, his team is growing.

While World University and School is like Wikipedia in 299 languages plus CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages, we seek to develop in all 7,099 living languages, nation state by state - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - each a major online university in the countries' language. The linguistic A.I. that emerges from this will be significant to your work, Mark, I think. We donated ourselves to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, and are also in Google Education, and are very Google-ecosystem centric e.g. re TensorFlow and Google Translate (GNMT), conceptually.

What's your focus these days, Mark?

Glad to say I'm going to be singing with the St. Paul's Episcopal Church choir in Burlingame this autumn (and potentially as countertenor with time:). 

Good music, good singers, too, and we'll be singing the JS Bach Christmas Oratorio and the Mozart Requiem, along with an anthem every week, as well as Episcopal hymns ... it's actually pretty great music too ... may explore descant lines if I begin to sing countertenor (Singing Descant: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Singing_Descant), although this morning I sang bass ... (for further bliss neurophysiology elicitation focus here re neural cascades of pleasure and music-making ...)

Heard them sing in Stanford Memorial Church - https://events.stanford.edu/events/696/69687/ - not long ago. 

Perhaps we can explore collaboration with time about a virtual choir - Virtual Choir: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Choir - (in the World University Music School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School ). 

A Tongan choir sang this morning in addition to the Chancel Choir ... and this Tongan choir could emerge online as well - in Tongan - https://to.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lea_faka-Tonga - ! Since Wikipedia is in Tongan, this NEW wiki World University and School !! - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University - will soon be in Tongan too :) Please feel free to wiki-edit / teach to wiki World University and School. 

Thank you Unitarian Universalist Choir of Palo Alto!

Online virtual choir wiki subject page at World University - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Choir - in English (accessible from the Music School here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School)...
Bruce, Robert, Jack and UUCPA (and greetings, Tim!)

This sheet music and these SATB recorded parts are great for learning to sing UU choir music from home, for one! Thank you. I'm curious now - in a building kind of way - whether it might be additionally possible to sing this, for example, FROM home WITH the UUCPA choir in Thursday rehearsals and on occasional Sunday mornings via a 10-person Google group video Hangout, - now silently, but also after Hangouts get up to speed with real real time music-making.

And could this be a start-simple-and-build-it model for virtual UU choirs, for UU choirs and singers everywhere, and perhaps also the beginnings of an online UU choir school for UUs and Us and also other church choirs, around the world even (in many languages), - since the Google group video Hangouts could be saved to Youtube, and be used for practicing with by anyone with broadband at anytime?

"Bruce Olstad, musical director of the online UU choir school, for a) music directors and b) choir singers"

For further virtual choir idea-sharing, I'm including Tim House in this email, a friend from Massachusetts, who is also UU minister at First UU Church of Boston - http://www.firstchurchboston.org/people/269.

Here's the virtual choir wiki subject page at World University - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Choir - in English (accessible from the Music School here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School).

I'm glad to say that the NEW (long, long awaited WUaS wiki) should be accessible here tomorrow - wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org - and from here too - worlduniversityandschool.org - (with worlduniversity.wikia.com soon to become obsolete).

Thank you for these great learning tools!

Friendly, musical regards, Scott

Interesting narrative ... to Scotland World University and School ... at wiki WUAS ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Scotland ... in the new wiki WUAS ... wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org ...
Forward units of Corbyn’s British Labourite Red Army – Momentum – have fired the opening shots in Labour’s anti-SNP offensive. Of course, idiots that they are, they have targeted the railways. Not the wisest of opening moves.

Comrade Corbyn is marching north to Scotland with his wee pokey army to “win back” seats from the SNP because he wants to be Prime Minister of a united Britain. He appears to have gotten it into his head, no doubt emboldened by Cat Boyd and her like, that Scotland is right on the verge of turning back to Labour and embracing Corbynism; this wonderful new brand of socialism. He, travelling in the footsteps of many an English nationalist politician, is incapable of understanding how strongly we feel about our decision to remain in Europe and how much we loath being Westminster’s nuclear weapons dump. He’s coming anyway.

As is the fashion in every half decent invasion plan, his vanguard Momentum has started bombing the railways in an effort to soften us up, but it has done nothing but make a pig’s breakfast of this. Momentum, being an entirely English outfit under the effective command of Owen Jones, has never encountered a well-run rail service. So coming after ScotRail, which consistently outperforms what passes for a train service south of the border, is an odd move to say the least.

They couldn’t come after its performance record because that would be just too hilarious. What they decided to do instead – as British Labour always does – is go after them foreigners; the ones who are coming here and operating our trains. Momentum, in a short anti-SNP and overtly xenophobic video, has taken issue with the fact that our rail network has been privatised and is currently under the control of Abellio – a Dutch company. Oh those pesky foreigners.....see video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWvSvymj6AE

It doesn’t help Labour’s cause, considering Scotland is very much on the EU side of the Brexit debate, that this video mocks the Netherlands with a series of nasty stereotypes and is voiced-over with an embarrassing faux Dutch accent. We can see it now; lines of Europeans living in Scotland banging on the doors of Scottish Labour begging to be let in. While they should be congratulated for at last learning that that sort of gutter anti-foreigner politics works where they come from, someone really ought to tell them it doesn’t wash up here in Scotland.

What’s more is that, while they have taken the hump with the SNP for letting these wicked Europeans in to profit from Scottish commuters, they appear not to have done their homework. Abellio doesn’t only operate in Scotland. It operates trains in London, Surrey, Greater Anglia, Liverpool, and the West Midlands. Now we can’t really stop them heading to those parts of England with their Britain First placards and Enoch Powell attitudes and harassing the Dutch there, but God only knows how they will manage to blame the SNP for it.

According to this video it is the Scottish government’s fault that ScotRail is run by who they clearly see as unwelcome outlanders. It wasn’t the Scottish government that privatised the rail network. Back in 1994 when that ugly process began there was no Scottish government. Scotland had nothing to do with it. Privatisation was all down to a Tory Westminster government. Labour had a whole decade in government shortly thereafter – between 1997 and 2007 – and it did absolutely nothing about re-nationalising the rails. Now this shower of weekend revolutionaries has the audacity to come to Scotland screaming “SNP bad.”

Scotland has now spoken twice on what it thinks of Labour.

If all this wasn’t enough, there’s more. When the tender was last put out – the time when Abellio secured the contract – the Scottish government was quite actually powerless to put in a public bid. The reason for that was because London hadn’t given us that power, now that the ability has been devolved – no thanks to Scottish Labour of course – there are plans in place by the Scottish government – that’s the SNP government – to make a public bid the next time the contract is up for renewal. So yeah, going for the Dutch and ScotRail was a worse than stupid idea – and this is coming from the masterminds at Momentum; the Corbynistas who hope to win a few more seats in Scotland. Well thanks but no thanks. I would rather pull out my own teeth.

But supposing this gormless clown – the man behind the Jeremy Corbyn Show – manages to get a few folk listening to his fairy tales, what then? No one in Scotland will ever get a chance to vote for him. Neither he nor Corbynite Labourism is on the ballot paper here. What we get instead is Scottish Labour and Kezia – freaking – Dugdale, with all the stink that has been left behind by such unionist worthies as Johann – “we’re not genetically programmed in Scotland to make political decisions” – Lamont and Jim – “fundilymundily” – Murphy. Any vote for Labour in Scotland is a vote for a return to moronic third-rate and bigoted politics. Again, no – bloody – thanks.
