Why is it and what can we do to change it? Why did people seem to get along better years ago but not today or did they really get along better years ago? We are the same people in the same county so something has happened. Maybe instead of focusing on what we don’t have or what others may take from us, we should focus on what we have and what we can give so more can have too. What do you have to be thankful for and what do you want to have to be thankful for?Let’s discuss this.On behalf of Our Own Voices Live and the entire Speak Up network, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!Our Own Voices Live is a radio show featuring people and stories from our community in Las Vegas, the surrounding area and someplace near you.

Press #1 to speakBlack History MonthFeb was African American History Month or Black History Month. What did it mean to you? I even hear some people who say we no longer need it. I disagree. Since we have it, what are we doing with it and what difference does it make? Heck, what difference can it make?The Black AgendaEach year I like to discuss the Black Agenda since it is the one month where we can openly talk about 100% Black stuff. This year was no different. I asked if we should have one and what should it be composed of.ReparationsThe making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged. That is how the Merriam Webster dictionary defines Reparations. Should Decedents of American Slaves receive reparations?If you have a question, comment or just want to listen, give us a call: (347) 826-9600.

- 11 Annual Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Candlelight VigilWelcome to Our Own Voices Live with your hosts: Rodney SmithOur Topic(s) today: “11 Annual Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Candlelight Vigil!”If you have a question, comment or just want to listen, give us a call: (347) 826-9600. Press #1 to speak.11 Annual Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Candlelight VigilThe Candlelight Vigil is an event to continually share Dr. King's message to inspire us to do more and better. This year's theme,”Humanity Tied in a Single Garment of Destiny.”We use the Kwanzaa principal of Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), to produce this event. We have speakers and occasionally performers sharing conscious words. It came about 11 years ago when we noticed younger people didn't seem to know much about Dr. King, his accomplishments, and movements that he led. We wanted something right in the community that was free to attendees. It was not meant to replace anything but to be in addition to.It was also an opportunity to introduce some to our Dr. King statue. We are blessed to not only have a larger than life size statue and to have a street named after Dr. King but we have the statue on the street. That is rare. Even rarer is to have Coretta Scott King Roses. Thanks to the suggestion by Franklyn G. Verley and the support of Commissioner Lawrence Weekly.If you have a question, comment or just want to listen, give us a call: (347) 826-9600.
