~Booksigning and Discussion with author Larry Chang. “Two key themes of my life are Anomaly and Synthesis. Since I was born of Chinese parents in Jamaica and grew up there, I’m culturally black which did not sit well with my family, and gay, which is anathema to the majority of my fellow Jamaicans, resulting in my being granted asylum in the US. I’ve known 30 gay men who’ve been killed in Jamaica, so my fear of persecution is a tad more than just academic. Here in the US, I don’t fit into the Asian community, the Jamaicans are wary of anyone who would flee their idealized paradise, and African Americans don’t quite know what to make of me. Hence, I don’t fit anywhere, have become a man without a country, the Eternal Outsider. That perspective, however, has its advantages as my varied identities, ethnicities and experience affords me a wider repertoire of possibilities. I’m able also to blend and meld diverse elements into new combinations. I’m accomplished in many fields, having been blessed with numerous talents, which paradoxically can present a challenge of having too many choices. Being intelligently lazy and laid-back, I do what i can when i can and go with the flow. I’m almost completely self-sufficient, granted my wants and lifestyle are simple, needing only the intimate companionship of a partner. The signs of the times are now telling me to pursue my dream of living in intentional community.” Chang will discuss and sign his books, Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing, and Wisdom for the Soul of Black Folk. http://ecolocity.ning.com/.

Starting in 1965, King began to express doubts
about the United States’ role in the Vietnam War. In an April 4,
1967 appearance at the New York City Riverside Church—exactly one
year before his death—King delivered a speech titled “Beyond
Vietnam”. In the speech, he spoke strongly against the U.S.’s role
in the war, insisting that the U.S. was in Vietnam “to occupy it as
an American colony” and calling the U.S. government “the greatest
purveyor of violence in the world today”. He also argued that the
country needed larger and broader moral changes: A true revolution
of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty
and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas
and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of
money in, and, only to take the profits out with no concern for the
social betterment of the countries, and say…To read more
