Waching daily Aug 29 2017

- My name is Alix Lynx and I want

to personally thank you all for coming today.

A day I can guarantee will be historic.

She is the woman I believe will shock the world in 2020.

Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Americans,

the next president of the United States of America,

Ms. Cherie DeVille.

(audience claps)

- Today is the day that is very near and dear to my heart.

Something personally that I am so proud of.

Something that I know is going to affect

this country that we live in.

Specifically, the political mess that we,

as Americans, have found ourselves in!

Like millions of other Americans, just like you,

I have had enough!

I am tired of being misrepresented,

and I am tired of being lied to

by the political leaders.

I am fed up with the circus that is the White House today!

We were promised to change for the better in 2016.

That promise has been broken.

(sighs)

I love this country.

I love the beautiful people that make up this country.

I love the diversity in this country.

And I promise you, I will not make America great again.

No.

We will make America

fucking awesome again!

(audience claps)

I'm Cherie DeVille, and I'm proud

to announce that I am running

for president of the United States of America in 2020.

(audience claps)

I'm already in the process of putting together

a team of like-minded people.

I would like to introduce you to a man

that changed my life.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would not be able to do this

without my choice for vice president

of the United States of America.

A Grammy award winning artist and a man

that continues to live the American dream!

I'm proud to call him a friend, Coolio.

(crowd claps)

- My fellow Americans I have to say

this is honestly something

that I thought would never happen.

But in life, as in politics, anything can happen.

I am truly the voice of the voices.

I've traveled every single state of this great country

and almost every country of this,

the mixed, diverse world.

And I've met great Americans and great people

from all walks of life.

All shapes, all sizes, all colors, and all beliefs.

And if we have this won, we can change the world,

we can better the world.

Hell, in 2020, we can shock the world!

(audience claps)

- Allow me to introduce to you

an international model

whose educational background

includes medical school.

Please welcome to the podium,

Ms. DeVille's choice for the future secretary of health,

Kennedy Summers.

(audience claps)

- I have been fortunate enough to travel the world

as an international model.

And during my travels I saw the state of health care systems

all over the world and some of them were

inspiringly good and others were just depressingly bad.

I would like to say that I am also on a personal mission

to get Americans back in shape.

This country's obesity rates are off the charts.

I just wanna say thank you so much for giving me the chance

to be here and letting me have the opportunity

to make America a better, healthier, and stronger country.

(audience claps)

- Ms. DeVille and Coolio have made it a priority

to maintain a positive relationship

with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

They have done this by naming a woman

whose specialty is foreign relations.

The country's next secretary of foreign relations,

Ms. Khloe Terae.

(audience claps)

I've traveled to 40 different countries

and explored the entire world

and have interacted with all sorts of people

and learned about so many different kinds of cultures.

I am a huge believer in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He has helped make America and Canada

closer than they've ever been.

I am confident that Canada and the United States

will stand together and will continue

to make this world a better place.

- Virgil was the body guard for the million dollar man

and a member of the NWO with the legendary Hulk Hogan.

Now, I'd like to bring up to the podium

for a quick word, our head of security, Virgil.

(audience claps)

- Thank you.

Thank you madame.

These two guys are the new tag team of politics.

and I can promise you that.

As for Donald Trump, everyone knows

me and him have history.

Okay?

I had Wrestlemania IV and V at Trump Plaza.

Okay?

So let's say me and Donald

broke a lot of breadsticks together at Olive Garden.

(audience claps)

Yeah, it's like that, okay.

They say everyone has a price.

And I'm will to pay the ultimate price.

That's my life.

Alright, in honoring to serve my country!

Thank you!

(audience claps)

- You sir.

- [Male Voice] Hi, Brendon Straub, Uprocks.

I'm wondering what your stance is on climate change.

- I feel like this has been sincerely mismanaged

in the current government.

Pulling out of the Paris Accord is a disaster.

I feel like America should not just be the leader

in military but should be the genuine leader

in renewable energy sources.

It is a disaster that one of the richest countries

in the world is so desperately far behind.

- We believe in universal health care

and every citizen deserves the right

to be healthy and have medical treatment

in this country without taking anything

from your pocket or your bank account.

You know, looking good is part of feeling good.

We're gonna call it Coolio Care.

(audience claps)

- [Male Voice] Yeah, question for Coolio.

Don't take this the wrong way, but is this a joke?

- You can tell by the answers, our answers

to your questions that it's serious.

We're making it fun, no doubt.

At the core of what we're doing, this is absolutely real.

- Thank you to everybody.

And I would like to prepare you

because we are getting ready to shock the world!

Together we plan on making America

fucking awesome again!

- Yeah.

(audience claps and cheers)

- Hi America.

I'm Cherie DeVille and I'm running for president.

Palm Signs for a Great Marriage - Duration: 8:20.

Marriage is an important aspect of life.

These days marriages are arranged

according to the Kundali.

Then only is the marriage finalized.

What is important is

in my opinion, that every person

who is entering into the sacred bond of marriage

should study their own and their partner's horoscope

to check for aspects that are auspicious and those that are not. Only after seeing this

should they proceed with the marriage.

Even if the two are compatible, there can be certain incidences where

issues arise after the marriage.

So to make things clear

if there are any doubts, by looking at the Kundali we can see that it is 50-50% percent match

This only happens after seeing the Kundali.

That is why we have made this video, in case we want to get rid of any doubts,

and in many cases people do not have a kundali or do not know their birth date, time, etc.

how will those two get along? Are they even be compatible?

We have made this video to help answer these questions.

In this video I will show you some signs, important lines of the hand,

and the significance of the mounts of the planets.

Then we will examine a husband and wife's hands

who have been together for 40 years with a lot of love and trust.

With their permission, we will show you a live demo

to examine their palms.

With the help of their hands I will inform you on

which mounts and lines are important, and we will find those auspicious signs in their palms.

so we will watch a live demo.

From this video you will be able to understand whether or not you and your partner are compatible.

One important thing is that

if you already married and are seeing any negative signs on your hands

you can still improve upon yourself.

For the negative signs and interpretations you understand

you can improve on them

So any relationships that are in trouble, will become simple and sweet.

Today we are talking about marriage compatibility.

This person has been married for 43 years

and their hands are showing a few good signs

that show that the marriage is very compatible and a successful one.

If these signs are shown on your hand, then you and your partner will have great marriage compatibility.

First we will look at the colour of the hand.

Pink is a common colour which shows that the person does not go to extremes but is balanced in their ways.

Next we look for the heart line. The heart line here

stops a little before the mount of Jupiter.

If the heart line goes too far ahead, the person will be possessive.

If the heart line stops in the middle, like so, the person will be rude

as the line is going in between the mount of Jupiter & Saturn.

So this is an ideal heart line

which shows that the person is rough but also loving.

The person is not very sentimental, nor very rough.

As you can see, the heart line is going in the middle which is a very good sign.

Now we will examine the character of the heart line.

These are both alike. They are deep, pink in colour,

not broken in its area, well coloured and a proper length.

We can see that the line is deep, well cut, not broken

or icelanded, well coloured and with a proper length.

So this person's characteristics, with a strong heart line, are strong in showing affections,

constant and smooth in operations, sympathetic,

relaible in matters of love, and full of confidence for their partner.

He is a good and constant lover.

These characteristics are shown through a good heart line.

and now going forward

You can see here the mount of Venus is protruding quite a lot

On the mount of Venus

you can see that there are not many lines. It is plain.

The mount of Venus is related to marriage and married life.

If there are a lot criss-cross lines on this mount there will be a few problems in the marriage.

But this hand has a very good mount of Venus.

The third thing we need to look for is that the life line

is completely arched. The more the line is arched

the larger the area of the mount of Venus.

So we are looking for a large area and protrusion on the mount of Venus.

These signs are indicative of a good mount of Venus.

So these are the signs to look out for to have a successful marriage.

Now we will look at this, the line of affection.

Here we can see a straight, single line

which indicates that there will be constant faith and love in the marriage partner.

If there is a defect in this line

a good mount of Venus, heart, and life line will correct this.

But despite having these good signs, there is a good line of affection too.

That is why they will complete 43 years of a successful marriage.

Today we are looking at marriage compatibility.

This is a person's hand who is about to successfully complete 43 years of marriage.

We can see this is their heart line

that is completely in the center.

As mentioned earlier, if it goes onto the mount of Jupiter, the person will be possessive.

If it goes over Saturn, the person is a little rough and can be on the rude side.

This however, is going in the complete center which is a good combination.

Sometimes the person is strong, sometimes rough.

If the line is in the center, the person will always compromise.

Then we can see the deepness,

the line is uniform and clear cut without any defects.

This is the first positive sign of the heart line.

Then if we look at the colour of the hand

it is pink. A pink hand is friendly, and always takes the middle path and not extremes.

This is an important sign.

Then we can see that the life line is arched

and the mount of Venus is also good.

The mount of Venus, a good life line, a good heart line and pink colour;

these indicate a successful marriage.

Here we can see the marriage line.

The marriage line is single and clear, like you can see.

So these good signs and this marriage line

all together indicate a successful marriage.

Skipper Manuel Neuer Available for Offenbach Friendly! - Duration: 1:12.

Bayern's training pitches at Säbener Street were as full as they could be on Tuesday.

Sure, upon closer inspection you could see that a large portion of the players were from the academy,

but that is understandable, given 14 of Bayern's first team are away on international duty.

Among the first-team players on the pitch was Jerome Boateng,

who returned to training today after recovering from injury.

He took part in the first half of the session, before disappearing to the gym to do some work individually.

Bayern's charity match in Offenbach will come too soon for Jerome,

however, though Carlo Ancelotti will have goalkeepers Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich at his disposal,

as well as Javi Martinez, Frank Ribery and Rafinha.

The Offenbach Kickers charity game at Bayern Münich begins tomorrow at 18:00

and can be watched live on our channel, FC Bayern.tv live!

Medvedev's Remarks on Education System's Readiness for New Academic Year - Duration: 6:00.

We met on the eve of September 1.

And, of course,

we will discuss the readiness of the education system for the new school year.

In all regions,

the verification commissions have completed the inspection of schools.

Now the last preparations are being made.

We will estimate the situation on the ground.

We will listen to some regional leaders,

where there are problems and some suggestions

on how to eliminate them.

This year,

a huge number of children will arrive

and a total of about 30 million young people.

Only 15.5 million schoolchildren sit for school desks,

which is almost a million more than a year ago.

Of these, 1.8 million children will go to the first class.

Also, this year the first-graders are 100 thousand more than last year.

The number of children who go to kindergartens also increases

and will amount to almost 7.3 million people.

And more young people will go to colleges and technical schools.

With all this, we must provide them with a quality education.

It is necessary that it was interesting to learn,

it was comfortable to study.

The results of the whole system of education and specific students

depend on the conditions for education for children, schoolchildren, and students.

We have almost 94 thousand educational institutions in our country.

Of which 42 thousand schools.

By September 1, we are opening 76 new schools,

and by the end of the year, 94 more.

Almost 100 thousand people will be able to study in them.

The dynamics are very good.

As many schools as we built in the last two years,

we have never built.

In addition,

this is really a new generation of schools,

in which advanced teaching methods and technologies,

including digital ones, are introduced.

Such unique schools appear in many regions,

I have visited some of them and, of course,

this practice will continue.

We are now giving so much energy to the construction of new schools,

it does not mean, of course,

that we should forget about the old ones already operating,

they require no less attention.

Many of them need not only current,

but also major repairs.

And such work is conducted.

Therefore, our program to update school buildings,

in general school infrastructure,

includes not only the construction of new schools,

but also the overhaul of existing ones.

In recent years,

we have reduced the number of schools that are in disrepair.

Since 2009,

if we take this benchmark, almost four times.

Unfortunately, there are many such schools.

There are a number of regions with a more acute situation:

these are Dagestan, and Yakutia, and the Krasnoyarsk Territory,

and the Rostov Region, and the Chechen Republic, and some others.

This summer some schools suffered as a result of emergency situations - fires, floods.

This happened in the Primorsky, Krasnoyarsk and Stavropol regions,

in Yakutia, Buryatia, Kabardino-Balkaria and the Rostov region.

We need to do everything to ensure that children from the affected regions

go to school on September 1.

I would like to hear a report on this.

The state of schools is, of course, the personal responsibility of the heads of regions.

You must carefully monitor the creation of appropriate conditions in schools,

both in terms of convenience and safety,

compliance with sanitary norms, fire regulations.

Schools, no matter where they are, old or new, should not need anything -

from trifles to more serious things.

I mean learning tools, textbooks, computers, high-speed Internet,

and more fundamental, complex things,

such as modern gyms, canteens, transportation,

including school buses.

Let me remind you that only this year

the Government allocated 3 billion rubles for these purposes.

And last year we actively promoted this program.

If we talk about other levels of education,

then there is also the beginning of work and study from September 1.

As for preschool institutions,

more than 1.25 million seats have been created since 2013.

Today we have almost no queues for children from three to seven years.

There are certain regions where difficulties remain.

This work needs to be completed, including in another segment -

by age group up to three years.

This work is now underway.

We will also talk about the readiness for the academic year of universities,

organizations of secondary vocational education.

We forecast an increase in the flow of students entering colleges and technical schools.

We need to support regional programs for the development of secondary vocational education,

bearing in mind our need for highly skilled workforce.

And, of course, do not ignore higher education.

There is another problem that I wanted to draw attention to,

it concerns the wages of teachers.

In some regions there are problems with this.

I would like to hear from regional leaders and the Minister of Education

about what is being done to repay the debt in the shortest possible time.

Education reform in Africa - with George Werner, Liberian Minister for Education | VIEWPOINT - Duration: 14:01.

George: When I looked at school infrastructure, particularly water, sanitation, and hygiene,

I was struck.

We could not rebuild what was.

We needed to do something radically different.

Nat: George Werner, Minister of Education for Liberia.

Thank you for coming into AEI to talk to us today.

George: Thank you, Nat, for the invitation.

Nat: So, early in 2016, you announced a bold plan of reform for Liberian public education,

the Partnership Schools for Liberia.

But for an American audience, I think it's useful to have a little context.

So, could you sort of give us the groundwork?

When you started as the Minister of Education in Liberia in 2015, what was sort of the status

of public education in Liberia?

George: So I got to the Ministry of Education when Ebola was waning, so to speak.

We had gotten help from the United States government to eradicate Ebola.

And after that, I was charged with the responsibility, after schools had been closed for almost a

year, to reopen schools and get the system going again.

So the first thing I did was to assess what the issues were.

So I took a listening tour of the entire country and what I found, what I heard was not so

good.

There was chronic absenteeism and these teachers were on payroll, but many of them not showing

up to teach.

The learning outcomes were not very good, more so for girls than for boys.

The diversity in the teaching faculty was not that good either and the gap was too wide,

24% female, the rest, male.

And when I looked at school infrastructure, particularly, water, sanitation, and hygiene,

I was struck.

We could not rebuild what was.

We needed to do something radically different.

And so, PSL was thought of as a way to partner with proven private providers, to accelerate

the improvement of learning outcomes for Liberian children.

Nat: And so, when you went to look for these providers, you looked inside Liberia and outside

Liberia.

What were you looking for, for the providers to bring to the table?

George: Look, I had taught in several countries.

In Liberia, in Nigeria, in South Africa, in Ghana, in Kenya, and here in the U.S.

And I became powerfully conscious of what existed elsewhere and how my country had fallen

behind.

And so, the first thing I wanted to know was what in the world there was about low cost

education, the focus being on quality.

And so, somebody suggested Bridge International Academies to me.

So I flew to East Africa to see what Bridge was doing there.

I went to Kenya, I went to Uganda.

I saw their schools.

I spoke to parents, I spoke to school administrators, to community heads.

And I visited the classrooms and I saw firsthand that children were actually reading at grade

level in these poor slum areas, as we call them.

And these schools existed side by side to public schools that in many ways, were in

better conditions, but parents were opting for the Bridge schools in comparison to the

public schools.

And what I saw wowed in terms of the quality of learning outcomes for kids.

So when I went back to Liberia, I thought to myself, I needed a hybrid of a partnership.

The best of what proven providers do in the private sector and what government was capable

of doing, be the regulator, provide the policy platform, and let these private providers

manage the schools efficiently.

And so, that's what we decided to do.

Nat: So, what are some of the things that the operators that you've brought on have

been able to do, that you think demonstrate their potential for changing Liberian education?

George: So, there are...we have commissioned an international evaluation through the Innovations

for Poverty Action, IPA, and with the Center for Global Development.

So, we have the baseline now.

The midline is coming out sometime in August this year.

So we're working for that scientific evidence.

What I see as I go around is behavioral change.

I see teachers who are committed.

I see communities that care about their schools.

I see parents who have increased interest in what their children are doing.

I see students that are present and want to learn.

We've added instructional time and so it's an extended day now, and that is being used

well.

We know that this behavioral change is not only in the partnership schools, but is beginning

to affect the non-partnership schools too.

So, this is part of what we have been searching for and we know that when the results come

out, they will prove the point that, in this day and age...I got to give you a context,

420 million young Africans between the ages of 15 and 35.

In Liberia, 60% of our population under 35.

What is a blessing could be a curse if we do not focus on education.

And in Liberia, for the first time, we have a generation of children that doesn't know

war.

And if we don't focus on them as quickly, as efficiently as we can to improve the quality

of teaching and teacher training, and to make sure that incentives are there for everyone

involved, with students, with parents, with teachers, to be able to deliver quality education,

we'll miss a once in a lifetime opportunity for those kids.

Nat: Right.

Now, something that is hard for Western viewers and Americans to understand is the cost structure

that you're working on in Liberia.

In America, we average about $12,000 per pupil per year.

And in Liberia, the government spends $50 per pupil per year.

So that's a 240X difference, which is hard to believe.

So, I wonder, two things about this.

First of all, how on earth do you get quality education for $50 per year, even with a tremendously

different cost of living, but also how do Western providers work at that cost point?

George: So, let me give you a context here.

The education budget for Liberia is, at least last year's was around 41 million, right?

Of that 41 million, 35 million is devoted to salaries.

So, actually, you've got nothing left for all the things that contribute to quality

in the classroom.

So, what we do is pay teachers.

Some of those teachers don't show up, right?

So that is the $50 component.

With the partnership schools through donors, particularly, private foundations and all

of these, we've added $50 to $60 for innovations in the system.

So they get an extra $50 to $60.

$50 if you're working near the capital city where you have road access.

$60 when you lived in the countryside where infrastructure is poorer.

That is nothing still to give us what we want.

Ideally, we should be able to spend pretty close to $150 per child per year to have everything

we need.

The teachers being there, the school quality, in terms of infrastructure, WASH, which is

water, sanitation, and hygiene, in the context of Ebola.

Making sure there are textbooks and the teachers are trained and paid on time where they work.

If you want all these things to happening, you need to operate around $150 per year.

The providers, they're mixed.

We have eight of them.

Some for profit, others not for profit.

I don't know any of them making a profit at this point, operating at $50, which is government

contribution, and another $50, which is philanthropic contribution.

Nat: As with any bold reform agenda, you have people who praise you and you have your detractors.

And this has garnered some controversy.

So, my question to you is, of the concerns that sort of the detractors of the PSL program

bring up, what concerns do you find that you share them and what concerns do they bring

up that you don't find compelling?

George: The education reform is very conservative in the sense that it's stubborn to change.

The language we all speak for education reform is more progressive than the actual reform

itself because you're dealing with human capacity development, and there's a lot at stake as

with health reform.

So, it's understandably so.

I have had a barrage of opposition emails from the teachers unions, more so from the

international community than from within Liberia, driven by people who don't really understand

what we're trying to accomplish.

Here is an opportunity for once to make good on the promise of free education.

The 27,000 kids in this school don't pay a damn thing.

And it is making good on what the law says should be free, compulsory, primary, basic

education.

And that is happening.

Teachers are showing up in these schools and they are being held accountable.

They're trained, they have extended instructional time.

Everything you want the public school system to be at its ideal is happening in these schools.

But the mischaracterization was that, we were privatizing government schools.

No.

This is a partnership between proven private providers and the government to improve learning

outcomes for children, who would otherwise go to classrooms that are empty and just spend

the whole day there, hungry, without any teacher in front of them.

Nat: In the American media, in a number of times, people have compared this to charter

schools in the developing world or charter schools in Liberia.

Now, that's something that Americans understand, but it's not quite right.

Can you just help me understand some of the fundamental differences between the partnership

schools and charters?

George: The money issue.

You know what the charter schools here get.

That's not the issue.

Our teachers in Liberia are government trained and government certified, and they're government

paid.

Our schools are government owned, they're government maintained.

And so you see those differences.

What we've contracted the providers to do is to manage those schools on behalf of government.

And the teachers unions began by first, mischaracterizing, saying that contract that companies like Bridge

would bring teachers from outside of Liberia to flood the system, which wasn't true.

Liberia's got talent.

We use the public system to vet that talent with the providers and place them in the classroom.

So, there are some differences between what we do in Liberia and what is done here.

And we don't do the choice thing and all that.

What I dreamt about and what I hope will happen, and there are many countries looking at Liberia

is, look, we live in an era where we can no longer shy away from the fact that there's

so much demand of public services for education and for health.

And in spaces where...in countries where the governments struggle to provide the physical

space needed to grow the economy to form these services, we can't continue to think as we

used to.

You have to think as if you were outside of the box.

Leverage blended funding to bring to a sector that needs it very urgently.

Nat: In five years, what do you hope to see become of the partnership schools for Liberia?

George: Children in age appropriate grades and reading at grade level.

And teachers are trained, showing up every day, they are paid on time, and their profession

is honored and they consider teaching as an honorable career.

Nat: And you're on your way.

Fantastic.

Well, George, thank you for coming in...

George: Thank you, Nat.

Thank you.

Nat: ...and talking with us.

George: Thank you.

Chelsea 'agree fee with Leicester for Drinkwater' while Foxes line up PSG ace Gregorz Krychowiak - Duration: 3:30.

Chelsea 'agree fee with Leicester for Drinkwater' while Foxes line up PSG ace Gregorz Krychowiak

CHELSEAS remarkable day keeps getting better, as French reports suggest they have agreed a £28million fee with Leicester for Danny Drinkwater.

The Blues have been desperate to bolster their midfield before the close of the transfer window, and look poised to bring in the Foxes star to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have reportedly agreed a fee with Leicester over the signing of Danny Drinkwater.

The 27-year-old is yet to feature for the Foxes this Premier League campaign. According to SFR Sport, Antonio Conte looks to have finally got his man after weeks of negotiating with the 2015/16 Premier League champions.

The West London side saw an offer of £15m knocked back by Craig Shakespeare earlier on in the window, but have been keen to nab the 27-year-old to replace Nemanja Matic who was sold to Manchester United.

In what is turning out to be a fantastic day for Chelsea fans, the Blues are closing in on the signing of Arsenals contract rebel Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after agreeing a £35m deal.

Chelsea are determined not to suffer the same fate they endured after they won the league in 2015 after their opening day defeat to Burnley.

Drinkwater will compete with Cesc Fabregas, NGolo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko in the middle of the park should he link up with the Community Shield runners-up. Leicester have already identified the England internationals replacement – Paris Saint-Germain stalwart Gregorz Krychowiak.

Paris-Saint Germain midfielder Gregorz Krychowiak has emerged as a target for Craig Shakespeare.

Antonio Conte is desperate to bring in the England international to Stamford Bridge. The Polish defensive midfielder joined the Ligue 1 outfit last summer from Sevilla for £30m, but struggled to assert himself in the starting XI.

He featured just 19 times in all competitions – just 11 in the French top-flight – and is now likely to be heading out the Parc des Princes door.

PSG need to offload players to reduce their wage bill after bringing in Neymar for £198m, where he is raking in £500,000-a-week. While Monacos teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe is close to sealing a move to sign for Unai Emerys men.

#APeoplesJourney: African American Women and the Struggle for Equality - Duration: 2:59.

Today we hear the call for full equality for women and distinctly for women of

color from a multiplicity of perspectives.

Intersectionality is a term we often hear

but what does it mean?

Kimberlé Crenshaw, who coined the term in 1989 explains it with a metaphor,

"Consider an intersection made up of many roads. The roads are the structures of race, gender, gender identity, class,

sexuality, disability, and the traffic running through those roads are the

practices and policies that discriminate against people. Now if an accident

happens it can be caused by cars traveling from any number of directions

and sometimes from all of them. So if a black woman is harmed because she

is in an intersection her injury could result from discrimination from any or all directions

intersectionality in all discussions of

the rights of African American women today is built on the work of previous

generations who have always been a part of the fight for full equality

Sojourner Truth escaped slavery in 1827 and became one of the most powerful

women's rights activists of her time. She emphasized her identity as both African

American and Woman in her famous "Ain't I A Woman" speech at the women's convention in 1851.

In 1893 Anna Julia Cooper addressed the World Congress of

Representatives women saying "the white woman could at least plead for her own

emancipation, the black woman, doubly enslaved, could but suffer and struggle and be silent."

They demanded recognition of both the femaleness and blackness of

african-american women in the struggle for political and social advancement.

In 1951 the Soujourners For Truth put a call out to Negro women to convene in

Washington DC for a soujourn for truth and justice.

A hundred and thirty-two women from 14 States responded.

During the Soujourners last eastern seaboard conference they discussed the organizational tenets of fighting

against triple' depression facing working-class black women - of racism,

sexism and classism. Their efforts were a precursor to the black freedom activism

of the Black Power era and the black feminist movement.

Named for a raid led by Harriet Tubman which freed more than 750 slaves, The Combahee River collective

was founded in 1974 by a group of self-identified queer black feminists.

Their Combahee River Collective Statement was one of the earliest explorations of

the intersection of multiple oppressions to include sexuality.

They stated our politics initially sprang from shared belief that black women are inherently valuable.

The words and actions of these leaders continue to contribute to

today's discussion around intersectionality, feminism and civil

rights that demand equality and inclusion for all.
