Have you ever been up close with a person whose very
much into architecture? Meet Archie Alexander, a black
man known for his prolific structures. Alexander is one
of those successful engineers. He has led the way with
his company. Through his company, he has constructed
more than 300 major construction projects in America
such as several bridges, dams, and road ways. These
roadways include K Street highway and Tidal Basin
Bridge in Washington DC.

People around the world see buildings. Yet, Archie
Alexander is constructing buildings of value that
are being used.

The world needs to create more architects. They will
certainly be the most mathematically precise and definitely
entertain folks and give us places to jump up and run
to.

When there are empty buildings, the world is half
empty. And why should it be? Alexander is the
exact opposite of emptiness. He is there to FILL
a role and FILL in those spots the world needs
filling at. Alexander is a leader and builder.
With him in charge, the world can have more
grandiose contributions. We as a people need
to voice our opinions on this. Alexander deserves
much applause for his efforts.

Don’t let another black person go unnoticed for their
work. If you have a mouth to speak with, you need
to brag! Thank you lots! Questions? Comments?

Maybe I don't always get my nails done.
You know some people even bite their nails,
a bad habit. But I have always had long nails
cause I don't bite them. I'm not really into
fake nails. I love natural nails like I love
natural hair. Some nails can be so long it
looks impossible to handle things. But If I
was to get any type of design on my own nails
it would be these.

A gallery of the most elegant and
fashionable nail designs! Enjoy!

African American ballerina Lauren Anderson shows off her moves!

African American ballerina Lauren Anderson shows off her moves!

How graceful it is to be a ballerina!
It’s great workout for the
body and relaxing to watch.
We hear about Ballerinas,
but what stands out most
is the African American
ballerina.

African American Lauren Anderson is a ballerina.
She resides in the area of HOuston. Her years of
dancing Houson Ballet is from 1983 to 2006. She
has taken leading roles in great classical ballets, and
becoming HOuston Ballet’s most beloved stars.

By January 2007, Ms. Anderson began her new role
as outreach associate in Houston Ballet education
department where she taught ballet classes
at Houston Ballet’s Ben Stevenson Academy.
Also, she conducts master classes at
area schools and lectures to students on
dance and she talks about her historic
career as an African American ballerina.

From the young age of 7, she trained at Houston
Ballet’s Ben Stevenson Academy. She
joined Houston Ballet in 1983 and in 1990
became the first African American to be
principal dancer at Houston Ballet.
And to add to that, she was one of the few
African American ballerinas at the head of a
major ballet company throughout the world.

To top that off, she received the Special
Jury Award at the 1990 International Ballet
Competition as well as the International
Critics Award in CHile.

Ms. Anderson danced with the top roles
in many classical ballets. You can find
her in works by George Balanchine, Sir
Kenneth MacMillan, Christopher Bruce,
James Kudelka, and Trey MCINtyre.
Ms. Anderson came up with the title
role in Ben Stevenson’s Cleopatra,
and her performance as Cleopatra
received so many praises from
international critics.

A note on Cleopatra, the Egyptians
were Black people anyways, so how
fitting of her to get that part. Christine Temin
of the Boston Globe described her as a
powerhouse in interpreting the role she
took. Lauren strutted her stuff in New YOrk,
Chile, Moscow, and Chicago.

By April 1999, Lauren was featured on the cover
of Dance Magazine. She’s been featured in
magazines like People and Pointe and tv
programs like A&E Breakfast With the Arts,
CBS News SUnday Morning, the Game Show
to Tell the Truth.

Her honors come from the Martin Luther King
Foundation, Coalition of 100 Black Women,
YWCA, by the Urban League, Delta Gamma
Foundation, Texas WOman’s Chamber of
COmmerce, HOuston City Council, and
the Texas Legislature.

Ms. Anderson is an honorary member of
ALpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. She
has even been appointed Artist in Residence
of the Fine Arts Department at Texas Southern
University.

African American Inventor Develops Computer Program
for Biometric Access Television
 
Well tv can be very entertaining if you care about the
story and characters. There are certain shows that
we just don’t want to miss. Thank God for cable.
They play some of the same shows over as we know.
But let’s take some time to look at tv cable in
another light. I was researching black inventors
to learn more about OUr Black history. The site
says this:
 
 
         A Black man named John Dixon invented a
computer program to access and control tv
functions through biometric technology.
One of the computer program instructions will
let people have the option of scanning their
biometric image such as a fingerprint< so they
can access and control their tv set>

Another instruction will store and make a user profile,

giving the viewer a selection of their favorite stations.
The computer program has aspects like parental
control which blocks out specific stations that only
parents can get to with their  biometric image.
Sounds like something that’s good for a kid’s
needs. WOnderful, its’great that they support
the needs of the youth.
 
The Biometric images are scanned by either an
attached or remote scanning device that scans
and authorizes biometric images like fingerprints,
eyes or hand prints that will help access a secure
database.
 
John has started a company called BIometric
Access Entertainment Group. IT also
created myoliogos,com, an entertainment
and information website that shows off
biometric security that will let people
download copyrighted material such
as music, movies, and ringtones.
 
We already know so far that he invented the
Computer Program

for Biometric Access Television. But this was
not his stopping point. He went further and
he is the perfect example of what happens
when you self motivate.
 
Mr. Dixon was the first to invent a collection of
technologies like the convertible top for
motorcycles, cable tv regulator, formula
for pet coffee, disposable shower head,
lucky numbers alarm clock, retractable
barbeque grill and a the whole sha bang
of other copyrights. He is quite the
overacheiver just like SO many of OUR
Black people!
 
I can’t stop thinking about other black inventions.
I want to know more.

How African American hair and math tie in together!

How African American hair and math tie in together!

pineapple

Hairstyles that look good make us women
feel great as we know. There’s just something about
 hair that dominates a look. Even a person with
 
average clothes can still look great if they have
a stunning hairstyle.
 
But most of the time we want the hairstyle and clothes to match.
 
SO it’s super super special! With all the hairstyles there is we
 
can be choosy.  My mother told me a Woman’s hair is her glory.
 
This is the truth to the upmost. Men care about their hair too as you
 
already know.
 
          IT’s a Given that hair has been looked upon

 
the most from a scientific viewpoint. Do you ever think about how
 
hair ties into math? Here it is: I’m going to lay this out like
 
a deck of cards.
 
               Just like there are patterns in a beehive, there is patterns
 
in hair. The black woman is modeling braids in the form of a
 
Beehive look. THe beehive look is just the way its parted.
 
But my opinion of this hairstyle, it’s pulchritudinous (beauteous).
 
Then you know what? This hairstyle can also be seen as
 
similar to a pineapple because of the parting.
 
                  Moving on to box braids. The tesselations you will see on the
 
site have boxes shapped like rectangles. The pattern looks like the
 
brical wall beginning two boxes at the nape of hte neck. They are
 
increasing by one box at each level further away from the neck area.
 
The hair inside the box was drawn to the point of
 
where it intersects diagonals of the box. Braids where braided there.
 
 
                          Next, triangular braids were in the form of equilateral
 
triangles and the pattern is similar to the one in figure 3b on the website.
 
THe hair in the triangle was drawn to a place where intersection
 
of the bisectors of the angles of the triangle.
 
             Hair is so interchangeable in style. I know the hairstylist
 
must feel jovial because they get paid to do others hair and
 
can do their own. That just makes everything much easier.

Black students at the African centered school has better scores than state averages!

Black students at the African centered school has better scores than state averages!

Kwanzaa Barbie Doll

There’s just NOT enough BlackSchools. I mean they have plenty down

south, but I wish there were more Black

Schools all over the world. Plus if

they had these kind of schools everywhere

they are more encouraged to us bLack

people.

JS Chick elementary school is a school

where

 

African Americans

see themselvesas leaders. At that African School, test

scores go beyond state averages.

They raise their right hands

and guarantee that they will do their

very best to honor Malcolm X. They

create a collage and essay about him
that involves his life as a civil

rights leader,Muslim,etc.

There is a student leader. They

march in place with one of their arms

lifted.They pledge an Affirmation of unity.

Working together will help them win.

The curriculum as well as interactions

with teachers and parents involves

Black History and the Diaspora.

The success of the school is

based on test scores, which are ABOVE

state average. That I just had to

mention again. Their success is also

from the fact that they see themselves

as entrepreneurs and contributos to

the community. This school relies

on

 

family involvement

and developingcurriculum and

 

teaching skills

toshow students strengths.

And with the thrown together Black

history all these other schools give

us, this really helps us Black people.

Their curriculum involves the Ancient
Black African civilizations.

Teachers announce those students

who hae gotten rosettes, which are

awards for attendance, academics, and

great behavior. So that shows off their

 

 

self determination

.The purple rosette is the highest

level, which was earned by one of the

Students named Aliyah. Parents

even talk about their children growing

here, getting confidence, and coming home

ready and excited to work.

ITs best not to Support the Fools at Planned Parenthood, BECAUSE they specifically aim abortion at BLACK BABIES!

ITs best not to Support the Fools at Planned Parenthood, BECAUSE they specifically aim abortion at BLACK BABIES!
Posted April 16, 2008 06:21 PM
oh yeah, they wish they had such

beautiful babies. The best looking

baby in the world is a BLACK BABY.

They even show the conversation

they had talking about giving

money to specifically abort Black

babies. So you know Planned Parenthood

is targeting abortion for Black babies.

And I want this word to get around

so that BLACK people do NOT go

to Planned Parenthood. THe children
are the future and we keep

the black babies safe from that

sick racist crap! People with

those motives against Black babies

don’t know what could happen to them!
Karma! Just for their sick behavior

They could have something come back
on them 1 billion times as worse

as what they sent out. I think

they just MAD because the white

population count is falling but

there’s NO REASON in the world
to take it out on Black babies.

Black men playing xylophones-Giving that Island Vibe!

Black men playing xylophones-Giving that Island Vibe!

Trinidad babe

Am I on the islands? No, not right now. lol. I wish.

But I sure to do get that island

vibe just listen to these marvelous

and supertalented people playing

xylophones. THey are black Africans

playing the xylophones and giving

so much joy to my ears. I love

that sound in my ears. Music does

stick with you. Videos such as these

let me know I got so much to see

in person. It looks exciting. More and more,

I see that  I have

to figure out the things I’m missing

out on and that’s happening in other

states and countries. I’m so glad

I had the opportunity to find

this lovely video. When I think

of xylophones such as the ones

in this video, I think about the scale

of life (ups and downs of life). This music

has the perfect atmosphere for any place,

but especially the islands Jamaica,

Hawaii with all the fruit trees around.

    See these Black men playing xylophones:
