Harlanites,
If I Were you, I would not miss
these programs of Thread the Needle.
October the 5th.... In
Dedication Of --- takes our hats
off to teachers in the public sector who have given their lives to
make certain the self actualization of
African American Students...
In deference to this, one caller complained that too few
African Americans
take advantage of
Catholic
schooling. This program describes
public schooling
as an inherent right of its citizenry and militates for its
upgrading. Our program on October 26th takes up our response...
October 12th .... Successful Schools --- presents discussions
about
John Marshall Harlan and
Whitney Young
Magnet, Members of the JMHAA NFP, are featured as are
seven of the eight African American Judges, who sit on the bench here in
Cook County...
October 19th..... Success in Schools... follows successful
schools applauding students, teachers and parents who organize and
work hard and achieve.
October 26th.... One caller asserted that Thread the Needle
refuses to advise its public about the benefits of
Catholic schooling.
Our argument here is that public schooling is an inherent right of all
citizens. "We here at Thread The Needle Militates For Change In The
Manners Public Schools Are Funded And Operated".. { This program will be
repeated on November 2,
2008. )
Educators and parents and students, such as, Richard Thompson,
Ed Robinson,
Mary Bates, Judge John Steele are applauded for what they have done.
These all validate the fact that Black Children Learn When They Are
Taught!!! Our students could not have taken the places they have taken in
society, had they not been both able to learn and had they not been
taught...You need to see the programs.. "I am Byron"

On 31 AUG. I did an overview to motivate students when they shall have
returned to school --- to set goals and to achieve
This Sunday 07 SEPT... I deal with the concept of successful schools
Harlan and Whitney Young
being among those where African
American Student's have achieved.. Seth McCormick, Sharon
Massey, Mr. "T" and the Eight Judges are featured.. [ some teachers are
cited for their preparation and their dedication. ]
On the 14th of September, we deal with the concept of success in schools.
On the 21st of September, the program is dedicated to those
students who taught us more than we taught them ... we will name
names.
One of the above programs will be repeated the last Sunday in
September. I will explain why in the program for the 21st...
Each program seeks to motivate the general assembly to provide more
opportunity for excellence in education
for people of color.

Eight Cook County judges came from same school
