<b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">CONTRARY to what the 45th President of America in 2020 says_that HE made June 19th Famous; it was President Abraham Lincoln 16th President of America in 1863 that freed the Slaves. It was NOT until 1865 that the Slaves of Texas got that message they were FREE! Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.IT IS NOW A WORLDWIDE CELEBRATION.IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF ALL MANKIND.</span></i></b></div>

The band consisted of three brothers Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert Wilson; and it was named after streets (Greenwood, Archer, and Pine = GAP)_ in the historic ~GREENWOOD~ neighborhood in the brothers' hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. GREENWOOD WAS BURNED DOWN BY WHITE PROTESTORS May 31 & June 1, 1921, when mobs of WHITE RESIDENTS attacked Black residents and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "Early in the Morning" was my Exercise Routine dance song of which I still remember the moves! </i></b></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.8px;">On May 30, 1921, a young black teenager named Dick Rowland entered an elevator at the Drexel Building, an office building on South Main Street. At some point after that, the young white elevator operator, Sarah Page, screamed; Rowland fled the scene. The police were called, and the next morning they arrested Rowland.......AFTERMATH...</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.8px;">In the hours after the Tulsa Race Massacre, all charges against Dick Rowland were dropped. </span><br />

For decades, there were no public ceremonies, memorials for the dead or any efforts to commemorate the events of May 31-June 1, 1921. Instead, there was a deliberate effort to cover them up.</div>

The <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Tulsa Tribune</em> removed the front-page story of May 31 that sparked the chaos from its bound volumes, and scholars later discovered that police and state militia archives about the riot were missing as well. As a result, until recently the Tulsa Race Massacre was rarely mentioned in history books, taught in schools or even talked about.

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">For years I'd instructed the Universe to pay $130,000 per year to keep them quiet.I never signed the Confidentially Agreement....NOT binding,Right? I had been "colluding" for many years with others.My European Connection was through Germany.My German Friends visited in 2016 and caught me in the act.....they wanted to join in this affair as well. So,I sent them "SEED" money and a Dossier of a timeline...I'd been exposed! They deposited my SEED money & Dossier in a safe on one of their trips Offshore.This is "suppose"to be the most secretive way for safe keeping and Future Investments. They are filed in said "OFFSHORE" Country under Dossier "BLAUBONNETS".</span></i></b><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>To my surprise and delight...the Bluebonnet has YET another History.The Bluebonnet was a woolen hat dating back to the 15th Century.It was the customary working wear of Scottish Laborers and Farmers.During the 18th Century the Bonnet was,to outsiders,the most readily identifiable Scottish piece of clothing.The Tartan would occupy this role in the following centuries. </i></b></span><b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">It was associated with the Scottish Lowlands where it was sometimes called the "scone cap". </span></i></b><br />

Thad Sitton and James Conrad focus on communities in Texas, where blacks achieved a higher percentage of land ownership than in any other state of the Deep South. The authors draw on a vast reservoir of ex-slave narratives, oral histories, written memoirs, and public records to describe how the freedom colonies formed and to recreate the lifeways of African Americans who made their living by farming or in skilled trades such as milling and blacksmithing. They also uncover the forces that led to the decline of the communities from the 1930s onward, including economic hard times and the greed of whites who found legal and illegal means of taking black-owned land. And they visit some of the remaining communities to discover how their independent way of life endures into the twenty-first century." </span></i></b></div>

<b><i>"Even as Grant drew cheers at the opening of the Centennial Exposition in May 1876, the collected scandals of his presidency, the country's weak economy, and the Democratic gains in the House led many in the Republican party to repudiate him in June. Bristow was among the leading candidates to replace him, suggesting that a large faction desired an end to"Grantism" and feared that Grant would run for a third term.Ultimately, Grant declined to run, but Bristow also failed to capture the nomination, as the convention settled on Governor Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio, a reformer.The Democrats nominated Governor Samuel J. Tilden of New York. Voting irregularities in three Southern states caused the election that year to remain undecided for several months. Grant told Congress to settle the matter through legislation and assured both sides that he would not use the army to force a result, except to curb violence. On January 29, 1877, he signed legislation forming an Electoral Commission to decide the matter.The Commission ruled that the disputed votes belonged to Hayes; to forestall Democratic protests, Republicans agreed to the Compromise of 1877 in which the last troops were withdrawn from Southern capitals.The Republicans had won, but Reconstruction was over."...Source:History of Grant's Presidency</i></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Growing up in the "Heart of The Piney Woods"of East Texas,little did I know the places my Elders talked about were actually "Freedom Colonies".Well,that's what the Modern Historians call them_"Freedom Colonies". I can only imagine what these hard working people of color may have called them. Authors James Conrad and Thad Sitton explore these communities,created in the 1860s by clusters of newly freed black slaves,usually in the unincorporated areas of the agrarian counties where they were previously enslaved.</i></b></span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525;">"In the prologue, García Márquez claims the novel is the fictional representation of a legend the author was told by his grandmother as a child: of a 12-year-old girl who contracts rabies but was believed to be a 'miracle-worker', with long flowing copper hair that continues to grow after death. In this frame-story, it was only after an excavation of tombs that García Márquez is witness to the grave of a similar young girl with long red hair still attached to the skull, that he was inspired to write </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525;">Of Love and Other Demons</span><span style="color: #252525;"> ." </span></span></i></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Here are a few examples of "The VOICE": </i></span></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Seems, </span>The height of the "Valley Girl" period was during 1982-83, with several films, shows and music of the New Wave Era embodying the "Valley" atmosphere of the San Fernando Valley during that time. In 1982, composer Frank Zappa released the single "Valley Girl", with his 14-year-old daughter Moon Unit speaking typical "Valley Girl" phrases. Zappa intended to lampoon the image, but after the song's release there was a significant increase in the "Valspeak" slang usage, whether ironically spoken or not<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">.</span>The 1982-83 CBS TV show Square Pegs featured Tracy Nelson playing Jennifer DeNuccio, a popular Valley Girl at the high school.The 1983 film Valley Girl starring Nicolas Cage centered on a group of "Valley Girl" characters and featured several characterizations associated with their lifestyle (such as going shopping at the mall or"Galleria" suntanning at the beach, and going to parties).The protagonist of the 1995 film Clueless has been described as a caricature of 1990s "Valley Girls," though she is actually from nearby Beverly Hills. </i></b><br />

<b>Le Pétomane was the stage name of the French Flatulist (professional farter) and entertainer Joseph Pujol (June 1, 1857 – 1945). He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles which enabled him to seemingly fart at will. <i><u>He was the HIGHEST PAID Performer of all acts during his time! </u></i>Some of the highlights of his stage act involved sound effects of cannon fire and thunderstorms, as well as playing"O Sole Mio"and"La Marseillaise"on an ocarina through a rubber tube in his anus<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">.</span> He could also blow out a candle from several yards away. His audience included Edward Prince of Wales;King Leopold II of the Belgians;and Sigmund Freud.<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"> </span></b></div>

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Harrisville,NH! Incorporated in 1870, the town of Harrisville is a unique,preserved 19th-century mill town located in the Monadnock region of Southern New Hampshire.There are nine bodies of water in the town,many backroads and trails to explore,and two original train depots at Harrisville and Chesham.First known as Twitchell's Mills,a combination sawmill and gristmill was built in 1774. This was the view above while sitting on the porch looking across the Pond.It's a step back in peaceful times.</span></i></b><br />

If one pursues wealth without getting power and the other qualities, one will not gain sufficiency. </b></span><br />

At the height of the Empire (A.D. 98-160), Roman gold and silver coins reigned from Britain to North Africa and Egypt. Money had been invented! Its name was GOLD.
