We had just docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico and I was able to turn my phone back on and check my email massages. As I finished that task and prepared to get off the ship to enjoy parts of the island, my phone rang. It was my childhood friend, Denise Gray Felder, calling in a panic. “Carole! Where are you? Are you and Michelle safe? How close are you to the explosion that just happened at the finish line of the Boston Marathon?” I thanked my friend for calling and reassured her that we were thousands of miles away from the scene of the amazing event. I collected my thoughts, wiped the shock off my face, and desperately searched the internet for more information on this breaking story. I had just sent off unrelated emails to friends and colleagues and learned that one friend had just handed the award to the winning female marathon runner more than half an hour before the first bomb exploded. And as the day continued I would learn the extend of the damage and the connections I personally had to the dead and injured. The good people of Puerto Rico, St. Maarten and St. Kitts were closely watching the Boston bombings and extended their sympathies to me as we traveled from one island to another. As soon as the guests on the ship heard the news they wanted to know if I or those who traveled with me had any loved ones or friends injured or displaced by the blasts. We did. One of my church member’s neighbors was the classmate of the dead eight year old boy. One of my sorority sister’s son was injured and hospitalized because of the bombings. One of our cruise traveler’s son was a television cameraman covering the marathon, and thankfully was not injured. And the connections just kept going deeper and deeper into the fabric of this horrific event. I took this terrorist act PERSONALLY. These two demonic young monsters tried to destroy MY city. They killed and injured the innocent who just wanted to watch a good race by cheering on their friends and loved ones straight through the finish line. I am heartbroken by the families who are burying their children, students, young adults and police officers. I go numb when I think about the 13+ newly minted amputees who are starting life all over again with artificial limbs. I am saddened by the the two businesses, Marathon Place and The Forum Restaurant, now boarded up, unable to reopen because they are an active crime scene. And as the chair of the Multicultural Committee of the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau, I took these bombings PERSONALLY. Our committee and our Bureau have worked for nearly 20 years to eradicate the stigma of racial hostility that still lingers with some people. This incident was a personal affront to all of the efforts of our committee and Bureau. I was concerned that it would further hurt the Boston brand and keep diverse conventions, conferences, meetings and family reunions away from our city. Fortunately the swift actions of our city leaders dashed that threat. My heart leaped for joy when I watched onboard ship via satellite TV the dramatic chase, gun battle and ultimate capture of the wounded 19 year old brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. We didn’t have to worry about his 26 year old brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The police filled his body with bullets and baby brother ran him over in a stolen vehicle, only to escape into the streets of Watertown, Massachusetts. Thank God for our diverse group of elected officials and law enforcement officers in greater Boston. Led by the state’s first African American governor, Deval Patrick and supported by our first Black president, Barack Obama, they all worked as ONE in a decisive manner locking down entire cities to ensure the safety of its people. In less than five days, it was over. The mastermind of this reign of terror was dead. The other brother captured, thanks to an alert Watertown homeowner who was curious about why his boat was tampered. On the evening of April 24th following an Advisory meeting of the Boston Chapter National Black MBA Association, I drove down newly reopened Boylston Street to see the damage for myself. Yes, I found the boarded up businesses now labeled part of a crime scene and captured them on my camera. But I took pride in thanking one of the police officers at the scene for his service to our city. He took great satisfaction in my compliment and grinned from ear to ear. Detroit is my beloved birthplace, but Boston has been my adopted home for more than 30 years. I feel as much a part of the “Boston Strong” movement as everyone else in this region. Boston is a great city and has proved once again that it will survive and thrive despite the forces of evil. Yes, we have political, social, economic and educational issues, just like any other world class city. But we have a resilient power to press forward in defiant dignity. Multiculturalism and Diversity were on full parade last week. And so was the courage and commitment of ALL the people who live in my region. Police and elected officials teamed up with everyday “folk” to capture the bad guys. That is what I call faith in action. Boston Strong. Boston Strong. BOSTON STRONG!! ======================== Your Comments Are Welcome Below... -Carole How To Download Today's Show •Can't listen live???

But what is it like when four women set a goal to publish a book together? Fun, frenetic and frightening at the same time. That’s a good way to describe the journey that Michelle Porchia (Trumbull, Connecticut), Debra Gould (New Orleans), Nancy Lewis (Atlanta) and I had in crafting our book: Real Women Real Issues: Positive Collaborations For Business Success. And Michelle and Debra join me on today’s show to discuss the value of collaborative partnerships in an ever changing and competitive world. The book is more than a business book. It’s explores the intersection of friendship, faith and collaboration between African American women who dare to dream.

From the pyramids of Egypt to churches across the country to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the South, the legacy of its people can be told in its buildings. And on today’s show, we feature one of African America’s finest: The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History...the largest of its kind in the world. (Visit online at www.thewright.org) One Black physician’s vision that started with a trip to Denmark was later transported back to Detroit to ultimately become a major institution for all. The museum is a source of pride of me as a native Detroiter, who knows the legacy of Dr. Wright and personally knows Harold Varner, whose architectural firm was responsible for the design of this impressive structure. Today we’ll talk with The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History’s Director of Archives and Libraries, LeNesha DeBardelaben. She will talk about the packed agenda the museum is offering during Black History Month and countless other events and exhibits taking place for the rest of the year. Listen, reflect and give homage to visionary Dr. Wright and so many others who have contributed to our Black History Trail. Black History IS American History! About the Museum: The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is the world's largest institution dedicated to the African American experience. The museum provides learning opportunities, exhibitions, programs and events based on collections and research that explore the diverse history and culture of African Americans and their African origins. Housing over 30,000 artifacts and archival materials and home to the Blanche Coggin Underground Railroad Collection, Harriet Tubman Museum Collection, Coleman A. Young Collection and the Sheffield Collection, a repository of documents of the labor movement in Detroit, the museum also features: • 125,000 square feet and seven exhibition areas devoted to African Americans and their stories. • And Still We Rise: Our Journey Through African American History and Culture, the museum's 22,000 square foot, interactive core exhibit. • The Ford Freedom Rotunda and its 100 feet in diameter by 65 feet high glass dome; this architectural wonder is two feet wider than the State Capitol dome. • Ring of Genealogy, a 37 foot terrazzo tile creation by artist Hubert Massey surrounded by bronze nameplates of prominent African Americans in history. • 92 flags displayed alphabetically by country and origin; these nations are places where significant numbers of African descendants reside. • The Louise Lovett Wright Library and Robert L. Hurst Research Center. • The General Motors Theater, a 317-seat facility for live performances, film screenings, lectures, presentations and more. • A Museum Store that sells authentic African and African American art, books and merchandise. ======================== Your Comments Are Welcome Below... -Carole How To Download Today's Show •Can't listen live???

They will form the very foundation of your walk in life and your path for your future. In commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the 84th birthday of our great civil rights leader and the Second Inauguration of our 44th President, we’ll examine the legacies of President Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and President Barack Obama. Their words AND actions have changed and enhanced the United States and the World. All from visionary leaders, whose visions and missions will live with us forever. ================= Excepts from The Letter From The Birmingham Jail by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. April 16, 1963 MY DEAR FELLOW CLERGYMEN: While confined here in the Birmingham City Jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine goodwill and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. ... In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: 1) Collection of the facts to determine whether injustices are alive. 2) Negotiation. 3) Self-purification and 4) Direct action. We have gone through all of these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying of the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. ----- You may well ask: "Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches, etc.? Isn't negotiation a better path?" You are exactly right in your call for negotiation. Indeed, this is the purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. I just referred to the creation of tension as a part of the work of the nonviolent resister. This may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word tension. I have earnestly worked and preached against violent tension, but there is a type of constructive nonviolent tension that is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must see the need of having nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men to rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. So the purpose of the direct action is to create a situation so crisis-packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation. We, therefore, concur with you in your call for negotiation. Too long has our beloved Southland been bogged down in the tragic attempt to live in monologue rather than dialogue. ---- We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was "well timed," according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the words [sic]"Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that "justice too long delayed is justice denied." ======================== Your Comments Are Welcome Below... -Carole How To Download Today's Show •Can't listen live???

It gives you a roadmap to your future with enough flexibility built in to alter or adjust it along the way. Companies and organizations spend thousands of dollars on finely tuned vision statements. You can create your own with just time and your own commitment to personal development. If you’re 25 or 65, you can benefit from crafting the right vision statement for your life. Listen to today’s program and start to build a new infrastructure for your personal and professional purpose-filled path. Defining Vision: Vision is an unusual discernment or foresight. Vision can also be characterized as the power to see what is NOT evident to the average mind. And in the case of multiculturalism, when you have vision you're allowed to reach beyond yourself while setting a new direction that requires you to stretch. For more insight on vision, read Chapter 8 of Carole's new book, 21 Ways To Bring Multiculturalism To Your Job Your Home And Your Community.

It’s the opportunity to meet a kindred spirit along’s life’s journey. That’s what happened to me last September at the conclusion of an industry conference that was held on the grounds of a large Massachusetts fairgrounds. Our conference registration included admissions into the Eastern States Exhibition, one of the largest “tri-state” fairs in the country. I walked around in amazement since I had never attended this event in the 30 years living in the state. Curiosity led me to the exhibit hosted by several self published authors who had formed an association. It’s founder was Gerry Garner, a spry 87 year old retired teacher who still had much to accomplish in life. I joined the association on the spot and opened my world to the wonders of Western Massachusetts. I am honored today to have Gerry and Albert Garner on today’s show. They were sweethearts in their youth, and this week celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary! Gerry is the founder of Authors Selling Books, an association for self published authors based in Springfield, Massachusetts. She has authored a wonderful anthology, Generations Build The Future. Her husband, Albert’s is completing his first book that is due out soon! You’re never too old to start a new chapter in your life....or your book. This show will inspire those ready to reinvent themselves for the holidays and into the New Year. ======================== Your Comments Are Welcome Below... -Carole How To Download Today's Show •Can't listen live???
