How I got over
How I got over
You know my soul looks back and wonder
How I got over
(rpt)

Soon as I can see Jesus
The man that died for me
Man that bled and suffered
Hung on Calvary
I'm gonna thank him
For how he brought me
I'm gonna thank God
For how he taught me
Yes, thank my God for how he kept me
I'm gonna thank him 'cause He never left me
I'm gonna thank God for ol' time religion
I'm gonna thank Him for giving me a vision
I'm gon' join the Heavenly choir
And I'm a-sing and never get tired
I'm gonna sing somewhere 'round God's alter
And I'm a-shout all my troubles over
Lord, we got to thank you
Thank you for being so good to me
(chorus)

I'm gon' wear a di-garment
In that New Jerusalem
I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
In that homeland of the soul
I'm gonna view the hosts in white
That been traveling day and night
Coming up from every nation
On their way to the great coronation
Coming from the north, south, east, and west
On their way to a land of rest
Lord, we gonna join the heavenly choir
We gon' sing and never get tired
Lord, we gon' sing somewhere 'round your alter
And we gonna shout all our troubles over
Lord, we gotta thank you
Thank you for being so good to me

Hmmm, I wanna thank you, this morning
I wanna thank you, Lord, this morning
You know all, all night long
You kept your angels watching over me
And you told your angels this morning
You told your angels, Lord, this morning
You said, "Touch her, in my name"
You said, "Touch her, in my name"
And I rose, I rose this morning
Lord, I rose, I rose this morning
With the blood, blood running warm
All in my veins, Oh Lord
Lord, I feel, I feel like running
Lord, I feel, I feel like running
Lord, you know I feel, feel like running
Lord, Lord, I feel, I feel like running
Lord, I wanna thank you
Thank you, thank you for being
So good 

Movie Review: Selma

Movie Review: Selma

I went to see this movie twice, so I could process the intense experience. It is a nuclear explosion of truth, now more than ever. Why is this film so powerful? Why won't this film receive the kudos it deserves? I considered these questions.

The performances by the actors were superior. David Oyelowo captured the thoughtfulness, intelligence, and the cross MLK had to bear. The female characters demonstrated such grace under pressure. The costumes of all actors reflected careful dignity (similar to the custom of dressing for church many black churches still uphold.) The sets are careful and accurate, the dialog just enough. All the actors portraying these well known figures, as well as the families and just folks, reveal in their eyes the noble determination of choice each had to make to remain resilent and be willing to die for their cause in the name of respecting who you are. And the actors' eyes also reflect the sadness, and the fear. The 'less said' style of dialog brings power to the film, for example. in the scene when MLK comforts a grieving family member.

The movie is filmed in such a way keeps us inescapably in the action, emotional turmoil, when you desperately want to hide, find a safe place. But there isn't one. Then you must think higher level thoughts at the top of Bloom's Taxonomy until you are almost dizzy. It is 1965, all right, and it is also 2015 at the same time.

So, why so little recognition?

Many of us lived through this time period.

The violent American experience of the Civil Rights Movement was, at the very least, brought to us by CBS News and Walter Cronkite. But being aware of the fire hosing of demonstrating kids and grandparents along with police dog attacks, and the bombing of the church with little girls in it, and the lynchings, and the murders--it is a different non-intellectual experience on the news or in the history lesson than the emotionally engaging drama on the screen, especially in this film. They say our brains can't delineate personal experience from drama or reading fiction. In 'Selma' we are in that bomb blast with those little Sunday School girls. We're beaten with grandpa and the pastor from Boston. We debate the finer intellectual points of voting rights with Dr. King and colleagues. We go to church and choose nonviolence. We acknowledge the threat, are beaten and arrested. We choose to march anyway. We are strong, intelligent, determined, powerful without violence. We are black. We are family. We are Selma.

But in all honesty, in  heart of hearts, some Americans admired the baseball bat with barbed wire...and still do.

The truth doesn't just hurt, it points an accusing finger.

This film will make many folks very uncomfortable. Not just the true racists, but the subtle racists who stereotype kids in hoodies, hate rap music and even R & B, share biased cartoons on FB, and have a quiet dislike of black people--even when they are in the White House (or maybe because they are in the White House.)
'Selma' highlights the educated intelligence and eloquence of the Civil Rights leaders and community activists, the strength of the black church, the families willing to demonstrate and maybe be injured and die. For their dream. For their America.
Recent demonstrations have posters that state 'Black Lives Matter.' In 2015, why do we have to be reminded? Why is the image of racism still on American faces like the pictures of hatred when the Little Rock Nine integrated Little Rock Central High School? Why are we still concerned about police profiling?
This is why 'Selma' is so potent--many of the lines written about events fifty years ago could be written for events last year.

Is this movie unfair to LBJ?
Let's forget for a moment the Founding Fathers did not eradicate slavery in the Constitution when John Adams lead the debate to do so, and many of the first presidents were slave owners. And out of respect for the Presidency, I won't go into Thomas Jefferson's relationship with slaves. Let's not even be surprised with LBJ's documented use of the 'n' word. He was from the South, negotiating with Wallace. Again, as a courtesty I will state that I don't believe the last six presidents (Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama) were or are persons who used racial slurs.  But let's recall that LBJ was a proponent of Civil Rights from his early days in Texas politics; Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy were Civil Rights supporters, so LBJ was part of the pattern. That's part of why JFK chose him as a running mate. The 1964 Civil Rights Law, which he signed into law, was a culmination of years of work from the Civil Rights Advocates, as well as politicians. But was LBJ somehow denigrated in this film, which is concerned with only one segment of the Civil Rights Movement? It seems LBJ fans wish to elevate him to Dr. King's status in this affair. But he doesn't rate that. Did LBJ get the Nobel Peace Prize? It is true LBJ had his hands seriously full after JFK's assasination and the Vietnam War. However, he did lead the Congress to the voting legislation using his political skills. Personally, I think closing with LBJ's speech for Voter's Right was monumental, and a fair kudo to him. It is a privilege to post a link of  LBJ's Speech in entirety here:

Lyndon Baines Johnson

Address to a Joint Session of Congress on Voting Legislation

"We Shall Overcome"

delivered 15 March 1965, Washington, D.C.

Will 'Selma' Make Racial Polarization Worse in America?
This film will shine light on where we are now, and where we need to go. It is uncomfortable, no two ways about it, whether you are a fan of MLK or not. I expect this film will help solve racial problems by acknowledging those who marched with MLK were from every demographic, and those who carry on are, too.


BTW, President Obama has stated he will dedicate himself after the Presidency to helping disadvataged youth with the 'My Brother's Keeper' program.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/my-brothers-keeper

  “That’s what ‘My Brother’s Keeper’ is all about. Helping more of our young people stay on track. Providing the support they need to think more broadly about their future. Building on what works – when it works, in those critical life-changing moments.”

- President Barack Obama, February 27, 2014

Teaching Is Giving Lifelong Reading

 These links are not for Reading Specialists, nor those educators involved exclusively with reading instruction. These links are intended for parents, and since all teachers are reading teachers, too, for those in classroom situations where some practical techniques in the midst of the core curriculum may help. I'm a big fan of taking secondary vocabulary and syllabicating, decoding the syllable, then reading the whole word in context for meaning. 

We are so honored to teach young people to read.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Thou_My_Vision

A friend of mine sang this lovely hymn at my wedding. Although my grandmother who raised me was 100% Irish, she was from Denver, and a western, All-American girl;   I can't say we really lived the Irish culture, although I did have some interesting family stories and a deep belief in Christ and His precepts from Irish Catholicism. I continue to do  my research on Ireland, and incorporate Irish richness of soul, thought, and talent in my life.

You can purchase these treasures of Irish art and skill which are reknown throughout the world.

My wedding dress was made of Chantilly lace... so elegant for just a simple girl such as myself.

One of my children had the privilege of visiting Ireland, and brought me back Waterford Crystal with stories of Irish friendliness. She says I would love it there. I'm surely planning a trip back to the Old Sod, especially County Cork.






This last treasure is from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. I will someday purchase this pattern (one of my Irish clans, the O' Sullivans) in a nice, cozy merino sweater, I think.

www.houseoftartan.co.uk/‎

There are numerous sites to purchase clan tartans if you have connections to Ireland. It is very fun to claim your heritage because the Irish are magnanimous and welcoming--no questions asked, no geneologies or DNA required. In our family, we have several Celtic surnames to choose from--kind of a typically American experience. Spme sites allow you to design your own original tartan.

This is the O'Sullivan tartan.

Women's History Month: Boudicca

Boudicca's statue in London--put up for Queen Victoria, who fancied herself  a namesake.

This woman was a Celtic Queen in Britain during the Roman occupation. Her husband was the independent king of the Iceni, collaborating with the Romans. When Prasutagus died, things went downhill fast. Enormous debts became due, the Romans took over his kingdom, flogged Boudicca and raped her daughters.

It is what Boudicca did next that sets her apart in history. She led a rebellion against the Romans (the Romans!) and just about encouraged the Emperor Nero in Rome to withdraw from Britain. No Cleopatra, this one.

The army Boudicca led was 100,000. (100,000!) She successfully overtook several cities, which she methodically demolished, also overtaking the infant city of London and burning it down, slaughtering anyone who had not evacuated. Take no prisoners nor collaboraters.

The Romans finally prevailed. Boudicca, it is reported, killed herself.

Painting by John Opie. The Victorians loved her.

The Roman historians said of Boudicca that she was "possessed of greater intelligence than often belongs to women." Understatement. Not even mentioning leadership, courage, and badassedness. Pardon my French.

I can't think of a more amazing general opposing the Romans.

Women's History Month: Marian Anderson

'Marian Anderson's Future Fund' was the name of the extra offering her church used to pass around so the little girl with the big voice could have singing lessons. Her dad bought her a piano when she was a very young, and after he passed away when she was eight, her mom raised her and her two little sisters. That's a lot of faith put into a young person.

Marian Anderson did not let anyone down. She not only used her very unusual gift for extreme excellence in opera, receiving international acclaim, but used her very unusual gift for grace and morality in the confrontation with baseness and racism.

She used a cash award from the city of Philadelphia to start an award for young people. Not for young people only of her race or profession, but young people of her humanitarian dispositions.

Even when accosted by racism in her own country, such as separate accomodations while touring, she was the perfect lady.  The most famous incident of racism was in the nation's capitol when she requested to rent a certain hall for a concert in 1939. The Daughters of the American Revolution, who owned the hall, refused to rent to her because they had a segregationist policy. The First Lady at the time, Eleanor Roosevelt, resigned from the DAR because of their attitude, and arranged for Marian Anderson's now famous concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial twenty-five years before Dr. King's speech there. I could also be a member of the DAR from three out of four of my grandparents,  but would rather not for the same reasons.
