Sat, 15 July 2006 Hello Everyone-- After the rains, the heat desended on the Nation's Capital. So instead of drowning, Washingtonians are melting. But this is normal for July in the Nation's Capital. Thank you for joining me and making The Angry Black Woman Show with Sunny James #19 a part of your summer listening. As I have advised before, please check out the donnie l. betts documentary "Music Is My Life, Politics My Mistresss, The Story of Oscar Brown, Jr." Mr. Betts is self-distributing this DVD and it is well worth the price. www.musicismylife.info. And if you're interested in Mr. Betts other endeavours you can visit www.nocredits.com. I hope you all are finding the PDF links helpful. Unfortunately, there is one article that I was not able to immediately get into PDF format and the magazine is not readily available on your news stand. That is the article titled "The Greatest 20th-Century Donor You've Never Heard Of." It's the story of Julius Rosenwald's philanthropic work with Booker T. Washington to build schools throughout the south. Please look for it in the next day or so. I promise to get it to you--very interesting reading! (update: The abovementioned article is now available at theabw.net) So, have a tall, cold glass of iced tea (you can be sure I am) or just think cool thoughts and be sure to join me again.
