explains why urbanites are less prosocial than country people are: urbanites don’t need any more interaction.
Thanks, Laura G. You put me on! Makes a lot of sense, too.

This should be interesting… I hope it doesn’t turn into a zoo, though. Would hate to see a royal family such as theirs, with so much substance and a fine legacy, end up imitating any nonsense to boost ratings, all at the expense of their famed lineage.

“The environment and the economy are really both two sides of the same coin. You cannot sustain the economy if you don’t take care of the environment because we know that the resources that we use whether it is oil, energy, land … all of these are the basis in which development happens. And development is what we say generates a good economy and puts money in our pockets. If we cannot sustain the environment, we can’t not sustain ourselves.”
—Dr. Wangari Muta Maathai (1 April 1940 – 25 September 2011), Nobel Peace Prize Winner

The world has lost another Great One. R.I.P. Dr. Wangari Maathai, your legacy is as memorable & noteworthy as that fighter spirit of yours.
“One of Africa’s illustrious daughters - Wangari Maathai - bid farewell to the mortal world on September 25 after battling with cancer. The Kenyan environmentalist was the first African woman to win the coveted Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. Sometimes described as the “Tree Lady,” the 71-year-old was at the forefront in empowering rural women through her Green Belt Movement to plant trees to save the planet.” - AfricaNews, “Wangari Maathai: Top Five quotes to remember”

Why you looking bitter? I be looking better
The type of bitch that make you wish that you ain’t never met her
The editor, director plus I’m my own boss
So posh, nails fierce with the gold gloss
Which means nobody getting over me
I got the swag and it’s pumping out my ovaries

Little Known Black History Fact (No. 57)
Clarence Muse was a lawyer who developed a thriving career as an actor, screenwriter, director and composer in the early 1900s. He is known as the first African-American to star in a film (“Broken Earth” in 1936). With an all-black amateur cast, the film focused on the incredible hardship of black farmers, with real back-breaking plow scenes to engage the audience.
It’s sad to say, but I feel like these Little Known Black History Facts pieces could easily be renamed or dually entitled Forgotten History. In my history of Africa class (origins to 1600) yesterday, one student, an Eastern European immigrant who’s age ranges anywhere between 25-32, who’s been in America for going on a decade, raised her hand to ask what Black History Month is; she had never heard of it.
Some may claim this to be an extreme case, but who really - white AND black - knows anything about American history from other perspectives aside from the P.O.V. of White America?
