| Nina Simone Composed over 500 songs, recorded almost 60 albums!!! First woman to win the Jazz Cultural Award "Woman of the Year" 1966, Jazz at Home Club Female Jazz Singer of the Year, 1967, National Association of Television and Radio Announcers!!! Nina Simone is often classified as a jazz singer, but this is what she had to say in 1997 (in an interview with Brantley Bardin): To most white people, jazz means black and jazz means dirt and that's not what I play. I play black classical music. That's why I don't like the term "jazz," and Duke Ellington didn't like it either -- it's a term that's simply used to identify black people."

| "A Daily Inspiration Exercise" Holy spirit you who make me see everything and show me the way to ready my ideal. You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that has been done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Thank you for your love toward me and my loved ones. Amen. |

Sarah Baartman, displayed
as a freak because of her
unusual physical features,
has finally been laid to rest,
187 years after she left
Cape Town
for London. Her remains were buried on Women’s Day, 9 August
2002, in the
area of her birth, the Gamtoos River Valley in the Eastern Cape.
Baartman was
born in 1789. She was working as a slave in Cape Town when she was
