[FLASH]http://www.youtube.com/v/MKL2M-qw4sU&hl[/FLASH]
This picture was taken by Frank Fournier in Columbia on Saturday 16 November 1985, a few days after the eruption of the Nevado Del Ruiz volcano. The landslide provoked by the eruption had already killed 24,000 people as the local authorities had taken no preventive measures despite the warnings of vulcanologists. In this natural catastrophe, the young Omayra Sánchez was caught in the town of Armero in debris transported by the mud. For two full days and three nights, rescue workers tried to free her with the whole world following her ordeal on TV or in the papers. The crane and the hydraulic pump that were needed to clear the debris didn’t arrive in time. Omarya’s hips had been injured by metal bars and her legs were trapped. She was exhausted and despite her impressive faith and calm, she died of a heart attack on 16 November.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"A front and profile view of an African's head, with the mouth-piece and necklace, the hooks round which are placed to prevent an escapee when pursued in the woods, and to hinder them from laying down the head to procure rest.

LOOK AT THE STRENGTH AND BEAUTY OF THIS WOMAN! WISH THEY STILL MADE THEM LIKE HER!
You ain't lying, what the fuck happened. Women are not like our mother's and grandmother's anymore.
Got it. You couldn't defend him if you tried. Way to dodge the topic, as you always do. Now go wash your flat-back, golden-toed pussy with broken glass, BITCH!
As far as the story goes:
On August 7, 1970, George Jackson's 17-year-old brother Jonathan burst into a Marin County courtroom with an automatic weapon, freed three San Quentin prisoners and took Judge Harold Haley as a hostage to demand freedom for the three "Soledad Brothers." However, Haley, prisoners William Christmas and James McClain, and Jonathan Jackson were killed as they attempted to drive away from the courthouse. The case made national headlines.
The eyewitness testimony suggests that Judge Haley was hit by fire discharged from a shotgun inside the vehicle during the incident, since he was being covered by a shotgun attached by wiring, tape, and/or a strap of some sort, and/or held beneath his chin. The shotgun was traced back to activist Angela Davis.
Gary Thomas, at that time a prosecutor (later a judge) who was also taken hostage and paralyzed by a police bullet during the incident, testified in a subsequent proceeding that "The sawed-off shotgun was being held under Judge Haley's chin by Magee. The shotgun went off. It was as if it was in slow motion--all outward features of his face moving away." Some accounts of the incident report that Judge Haley's head was taken almost completely off his body as a result of the close-range shotgun blast.
Ruchell Magee, the sole survivor among the militants who attacked the court, was convicted for Haley's kidnapping and murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, which he is serving in Corcoran State Prison. Now 56 years old, he has lost numerous bids for parole.
There are theories that the FBI had foreknowledge of the August 7 plot, but allowed it to proceed in order to force a confrontation with the Black Panthers in which they could be discredited and their members killed, as well as produce an opportunity to bring conspiracy charges against Davis and other supporters.
On August 21, 1971, three days before he was to go on trial, Jackson was gunned down in the prison yard at San Quentin in what officials described as an escape attempt.
The official report said that in his possession, Jackson had a 9 mm automatic pistol alleged to have been smuggled into the prison by attorney Stephen Bingham (Bingham was acquitted of charges related to the incident in 1984; he had spent 13 years abroad living under a false name). According to the Soledad guards, it was discarded after the alleged escape attempt, but no record was ever made of the weapon's destruction. Some other prisoners who witnessed the event claim that there was no weapon and that Jackson had not been planning any escape or rebellion. The official report also accuses Jackson of participating in a riot earlier that day, involving two dozen other prisoners, where three corrections officers and two inmates were tortured and killed.

Bump
September 12, 1974 was the first day of court-ordered busing to achieve “racial balance” and Boston was in a tense mood. There was a real fear of racial violence in close-knit neighborhoods such as South Boston. Police protection had been ordered for the arriving students.
I remember being struck by this newspaper headline...
One white woman was dead,because she was suppose to have been killed by a black man...it was an emergency.She was,as it was later found out...killed by her husband.

They are still around. Look critically. More difficult to find in Yankeeland but i know i do see a few here. A true woman that is comfortable in her skin as a woman as evidenced by the way she carries herself.
