Saigon “Black America”

December 22, 2010 Featured Artist No Comments


Saigon might be on to something with this new release. You may remember the melody that was derived from the hit song, “Happy Together” that was released by The Turtles on Valentines Day, 1967. Inside, Saigon re-visits the most pressing issues that the young people as well as the older ones I know are face to face with on a daily basis. KRIS KROSS CAN MAKE YA JUMP,JUMP!!!

Education is the First Step towards Revolution

April 22, 2009 Front Page No Comments

Happy Earth Day 2009, everyone.

We here at the League of Young Voters Education Fund and 99problems.org have covered so many issues affecting our communities over the last three months. Education is one that we always return to. The root of many problems, great and small, is ignorance and fear.

We’ve all seen the wonder of a child’s innocent mind without judgment, without prejudice. When does prejudice take hold? How do we teach our children to never judge without reason, and to fear no person because of his or her race, gender, or social background?

The fact is, we don’t know. But it must begin with awareness. Teach compassion, teach bravery and understanding, and we will open up the possibility of discussion, of cross-cultural conversation, as we begin to work together across the world to fix the problems we have caused and face the challenges of tomorrow.
