'All Things Being Equal Are Not' • THE WOODY SHAW QUINTET • LIVE in France • 1979
🎺One of the greatest and last to ever do it with a top flight ensemble right here. A truly outstanding performance in its entirety, but the real pearl not to be missed begins at the 29:00 mark - with the reflectively exquisite All Things Being Equal Are Not...⚖️

Apple: 1(!) out of 123 executives (0.8%)
Cisco: 5 out of 285 executives (1.75%)
Facebook: 32 out of 1053 executives (3%)

The church pew two main purposes: they seat congregants in the front and hold items on the back. On the back of every pew, there is a place holder for fans, books and communion cups. In the Black Baptist church, you will only find two books in the back of every pew: the King James Bible (KJV) and the New National Baptist Hymnal.

EVERY MONTH IS 'BLACK HISTORY MONTH'!!!
I Think Black History Month Should Last All Year
Dawn Porter | READERS DIGEST
We know about Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King Jr., of course. But our American history lessons skip over so many other African American achievers.
My feelings about Black History Month are complicated.

But while absolutely worthy of celebration, the stories of African American contributions to our society have become repetitive over the years.
