Chicago lights it up for MLK

So just in case you didn't know, downtown Chicago always lights up the skyscrapers a certain color to create awareness, support a cause or during a playoff run for a Chicago team. Welllllll this year, for the first time, first time done in the country, Chicago will turn the city blue in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Calling all of us to be peacemakers.

I think this is great and that more ppl need to be aware of this...so spread the word and go downtown this weekend....take a look around. It may be the first time you see the sky being blue past 6pm in January.

A Day in the life of an Afghanistan student #wakeup

This is what kids in Afghanistan go though just to go to school. It's sad how we take so much for granted. We must continue to educate ourselves on foreign issues. It will cause us to be more informed and have a better knowlegde about global issues and not just issues on our block or in our hoods.

THIS IS SO ACCURATE! #WAKEUP
