The most historic presidential match up for the 2012 elections wouldbe Barack Obama and Herman Cain.

Du Bois and Booker T. Washington on so many levels that it begsa closer examination.
Booker T. Washington was born into slavery, lived through and survivedthe civil war and went on to found Tuskegee Institute realizing thateducation and a marketable skill would be the keys to lifting the newlyfreed slaves from their position of servitude to one of equality withthe white man. He was keenly aware, that in the south, the Democratshad fought not only a war to prevent abolition, but fought to preventthe passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.

Either You Are, Or You Aren't a Renaissance Woman!
A renaissance woman is someone who sets her own agenda for personal achievement and will not allow herself to be manipulated or intimidated by self-proclaimed spokesmen who try and wrap their political philosophies around terms like "equality," "choice," "peace," "tolerance" and "diversity." She understands that she has been created for such a time as this and embraces her destiny as a challenge and not a curse, no matter what her personal circumstances. She is a winner not a whiner, a leader not a follower, a victor, not a victim. She wants to change the paradigm of the feminist movement that has served to marginalize and ridicule women who do not follow their collective agenda.
Millions of women around the country, from all professions, backgrounds and cultures, are courageously picking up the mantel of leadership and virtue, that the feminist movement has squandered. They are providing thoughtful and accurate analysis, on a variety of issues, of where, and who we are as a nation.
Remember, this is not a club. It is a mindset!
