Since we have officially embarked upon the campaign season, this Wikizine will focus on the presidential campaign. Included will be thoughts, ideas, articles, and updates on what's happening as we get closer to November 08.
The Wikizine is intended to as a political venue with a focus on African-American women voters. It has been said by CNN, ABC, FOX, CBS, and print media as well, that our vote could very well determine not only the Democratic nominee for president - but the President of the UNITED STATES. That is an awesome challenge - but a challenge that we are no doubt up for.
This Wikizine is also a tribute to the African-American women who fought and even died to make our vote count and possible. Like Sojourner said over 100 years ago "Ain't I a Woman?".
Well, I finally did it! Although I'll still be doing some limited cross and sponsored posts here until my PR increases on the new spot, I've moved Sojourner's Place to her own domain. Yep! Sojourner's Place is now a dot com ! I welcome all Sojourners ~ new and regulars ~ to my new home . You can even enter the new Sojourner's Place through the Front Door over on Wordpress. Guess, you could say that I've been on a roll! While the look and address has changed, the message has not. The... Read Full Story

Why don't they talk to me and share their inner-most secrets? They use to when they were younger? Now that they are older, they have their own lives to which I often attempt to pry in order to be a part. Seems, though, that no matter how much prying or gentle prodding I might do - their openness seems to close just at that very moment when I'm feeling a break through. I look or think about them in wonderment sometimes, hoping and praying that I have given them all that they need to be... Read Full Story

For obvious reasons, I'm still feeling the joy of the recent unveiling of the Sojourner Truth bust in the U.S. Capitol earlier this week. So, ya'll please indulge me for a bit as I continue celebrating with yet another post on this historic event. First, I must admit that I was not familiar with the artist who sculpted the Sojourner Truth bust, Artis Lane . I took a look at her website and was struck by the depth of her sculptures and the emotion that seemed to fill them. But to learn that... Read Full Story
Amnesty International has just released plans for a Global Day of Action for Troy Davis . As I reported here , Troy's latest and last appeal for a new trial was denied and his stay of execution will expire on May 15, 2009. Amnesty International has designated May 19th for groups and individuals around the world to organize demonstrations, vigils, teach-ins or any other public event in an effort to show Georgia that the executing Troy Davis "would be an unacceptable travesty of justice."
