About Me

Im trying to bring social, political, and economic change to a community by empowering its residence with knowledge. The simple knowledge that " No" is not an acceptable answer. As Martin Luther King said " The problem of transforming the ghetto, therefore, is a problem of power, a confrontation between the forces of power demanding change and the forces dedicated to the preserving the status quo. Now, power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose. It is the strength required to bring social, political and economic change. Walter Reuther defined power one day he said " Power is the ability of a labor union like UAW to make the most powerful corporation in the world, General Motor, say YES when it wants to say NO. Now thats power." target="_blank">.... ..I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
