SISTEROMA SAYS DURVAN WENT HOME

I'd like to meet:

The heart of America's entertainment industry, Los Angeles is the city where people come to see and be seen. Famous streets such as Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard are consistently bustling, and the Walk of Fame and the prints outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre are can't-miss sights for the star struck. The Pacific Ocean's sandy beaches draw crowds out to areas like Venice Beach and Santa Monica for sunbathing, people watching and surfing. Entire districts of LA are dedicated to various predominant nationalities and are a great place for cultural exploration and good, cheap food. The complex blend of cultures has made LA one of the top restaurant destinations in the country, with innovative chefs creating new fusions of ethnic specialties. The Congress of Racial Equality, CORE, is the third oldest of the major historical Civil Rights organizations which in began in the 1940’s 50’and 60’’s. It was CORE, more than the other two older groups NAACP and Urban League ;which led the massive struggle. It was CORE, founded by James Farmer in Chicago in 1942, which created the concept of Non-Violent Resistance to laws that were immoral but which had been adhered to since the end of Reconstruction and the Plessy-vs-Ferguson decision by which the Supreme Court had enshrined the fallacious concept of ‘Separate but Equal as the law of the landIn 1969, CORE National, there arose out of the New York State organization and New York City Chapters, a new younger leader Roy Innes, who with his team began to return CORE National to some of its basic tenants that still needed attention, such as following up on case work and initiating mobilizations where needed. CORE also became fiscally self sustaining for the first time in may years. CORE National has been headed by Roy Innes from 1969 through the present. In addition to administration of Welfare to Workfare training and other youth and elderly programs, CORE has for the past 19 years sponsored the Annual Martin Luther King Harmony Awards in Manhattan and in the Summer another Awards Event with a summer street festival occupying all of Times Square. The previous year’s Keynote addresses included First Lady Laura Bush and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.In 1989, after an agreement with national Chairman Roy Innes, Celes King III organized the California State Organization of CORE. Celes King III served as the State Chairman from 1989-2003. Core-CA quickly acquired an impeccable record in aggressive pursuit of protecting individual and group civil rights.It was in a period after the Resurrection City experiment when almost all of the other State Organizations and Chapters around the Nation were either dormant or still in the process of phasing out when along comes California Bail Bond Industry leader and renown civil Rights Fighter Celes King III. Celes King III also happened to be a very popular veteran of that World War II noble experiment, the Tuskegee Airmen, the only Black Air Fighter Squadron in the entire War. These young Black Men manned the only Fighter Squadron in the War which never lost any of the hundreds of Bombers it escorted over occupied Europe.Celes King served as President of the Los Angeles City human Relations Commission and in that capacity created the first “Rumor Control Operation and other innovations in the wake of the 1965 Watts Rebellion. Celes King State Chair of CORE-CA frequently joined with NAACP,
