Keshia Thomas Shields a Racist From Harm - Nightly In 1996, something pretty amazing happened in Ann Arbor. Maybe you remember, maybe you don’t. But it basically went something like this. Seventeen Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, most of them hooded, rallied on the second floor of City Hall. Meanwhile, just outside there were 300 anti-KKK protesters in the street – obviously angry and unhappy to say the least. That’s when one of them spotted a man nearby wearing a Confederate flag shirt, watching the protest. That’s when things went from violent to a kind of heroism I’ve never seen before: The man is seen running from the protesters in this gripping photo. Mark William Brunner The mob caught up to him, surrounded him, and proceeded to kick him and beat him. That’s when Keshia had enough. She covered his body with her own, screaming for the mob to stop the violence. They listened and, in tears, she held the racist man in her arms. This is the photo that the whole world was talking about in 1996. Everyone needs to be a little more like Keshia.
Thigh Toning Workout - Tone Thighs Many women hate their upper legs so much that they don't even try to firm them. Mistake. "Many of your major thigh muscles — your hamstrings and quadriceps as well as your butt — are actually easy to tone," says Evelyn Nunlee, a New York City personal trainer for 15 years. (Inner thighs are trickier, she concedes; to target that trouble spot, add crunches and other lower-abdominal exercises, because your stomach muscles are close to those of your inner thighs.) For quickest results, do Nunlee's four-part thigh routine as well as some form of aerobic exercise three times a week. "Walking, swimming, and biking will give your upper legs definition," she says.

Hoodoo (folk magic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly Hoodoo, also known as "conjure" and sometimes confused with "voodoo," is a traditional African-American folk spirituality that developed from a number of West African, Native American and European spiritual traditions. Hoodoo has some spiritual principles and practices similar to spiritual folkways in Haitian, Cuban, Jamaican and New Orleans traditions. Hoodoo seems to have evolved in the Mississippi Delta where the concentration of slaves had been dense. Hoodoo then spread throughout the Southeast as well as North along the Mississippi as African Americans left the Delta beginning in the 1930s. There is strong mainstream American prejudice against hoodoo, based on the myths that hoodoo is practiced primarily with selfish, hurtful intentions, or that it is related to worship of the Christian devil, Satan[citation needed]. Spiritual folkways like hoodoo are an ever-evolving process, continuously synthesizing from contact with other cultures, religions and folkways.

Full Beginners Running Program | From Zero to Hero Regardless of your fitness level, you can easily start from zero to running 20 minutes continuously in 10 weeks. The running program below, adapted from the New York Road Runners Club, does exactly that and is an example of an ten-week run/walk strategy, aimed at beginners in good health. You can do it. All it requires on your part is the commitment to go out and run 3, preferably 5 times, a week. You’ll know how often to run, by listening to your body. Depending on how often you are running, try to allow for a day of recovery between runs. Warm up before you start with a 5 – 10 minute fast walk and cool down with 5 – 10 minutes of slow walking. If you run flat out, you will be too exhausted to repeat the intervals and will probably vow to never run again. This program should suit most non-active beginners. Once you hit 20 minutes nonstop running, move on to the advanced beginners program.

Bless Me, Ultima: Plot Overview When Antonio Márez is almost seven years old, the old healer Ultima comes to stay with him and his family in their small house in Guadalupe, New Mexico. The family has taken in Ultima out of a respect for her healing powers, her knowledge of plant lore, and her long use of folk magic in service of the community. Though they have great respect for Ultima’s spirituality, the family, especially Antonio’s mother, is devoutly Catholic. Antonio’s father, Gabriel, is a former vaquero, or cowboy, who wandered the llano, the great plains of New Mexico. Antonio’s mother, María, is the daughter of farmers. Antonio’s parents now argue about their young son’s future; Gabriel hopes he will become a vaquero on the llano, and María hopes he will become a priest. Antonio spends a happy time with Ultima, learning about plants and trees and helping her gather herbs on the llano. That fall, after helping his mother’s brothers, the Lunas, with their harvest, Antonio begins school.
