What a POWERFUL woman. More girls and women need to read about her.<BR/>What do you and the people you know think about Obama's win? I know he actually lived in Indonesia for a while. What are the people there saying?<BR/>Peace,<BR/>AliciaCappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-77576596325682068122008-11-17T17:06:00.000-05:002008-11-17T17:06:00.000-05:00Great post!It's interesting to know people with no...Great post!<BR/>It's interesting to know people with noble-heart. Here in Indonesia, we also have "Ibu Kartini" (in English "mother Kartini"). Long years ago, she did a campaign for the women's right (women equality with man) and now become our nation's hero.Tiknohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05733973438543735098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-53577869448588169942008-11-12T10:28:00.000-05:002008-11-12T10:28:00.000-05:00Neversad,I'm very happy that you've finally found ...Neversad,<BR/>I'm very happy that you've finally found Mama Makeba.

The other morning my alarm clock radio activated to the time that is programmed (4:50AM) to hear the news of Miriam Makeba's death. I have to say that her music for my 57 years has not graced my ears, until now. My loss then, my gain now. The comments from the radio announcers about "Mama Africa's" history and legacy were intriguing and fascinating. As a course of gaining knowledge, I checked Ms. Makeba's internet connections. She was a great woman and now I am grateful to have her among my spiritual friends. Life is indeed a learning experience.neversadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029364939469431264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-45199850443257170072008-11-11T17:24:00.000-05:002008-11-11T17:24:00.000-05:00An awesome loss...when I was young my mother would...An awesome loss...<BR/>when I was young my mother would play her albums and I was spellbound by her voice. Too me someone who would sacrifice living in her own homeland to speak out about injustice is worthy of so much honor. There seem to be so many who did not even know of her...very sad.<BR/>Thanks for the great post.<BR/>Blessings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537995627507688916noreply@blogger.com
