No I think George ordsprog

No, I think George Johnson had to march to the beat of the drum -- that was very much in the hands of white America at that time.

[Johnson allowed home runs to three consecutive batters for the first time in his major league career and four in all during the fourth inning as the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 6-2 to stop a seven-game losing streak. Johnson allowed the homers over a 16-pitch span.] How do you explain something like that? ... It's the one thing that I'll walk away from this game not really understanding.

[Verdine White would soar aloft on wires. Johnson's drum kit was welded to a riser which rotated through 360 degrees with him still flailing away- a stunt the band devised after watching Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake and Palmer spin his piano. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness. ] I had a lot of fun doing it, ... Never got sick. And I'd do it again.

I always loved to sing so I was going to be the singer. We were looking for a drummer and having problems finding one, so one time, I was messing around on the drums and they just taught me a simple drum beat. Ironically, it was the beat to 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll.' They said 'You can keep a beat and you can sing.' It's funny how things work out.

[The Ku Klux Klan branded Johnson the most hated man in America; wooden crosses were burned on his lawn.] Judge Frank Johnson, ... was denounced as a judicial activist and threatened with impeachment. He had the courage to expand freedom in America. Judge Roberts, I hope that you agree America must never return to those days of discrimination and limitations on our freedom.

Carry with thy voice, O drum, lack of heart, and failure of courage among the enemies! Disagreement, dismay, and fright, do we place into the enemies, beat them down, O drum!

There is not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America -- there is the United States of America,

The drum beat is not as loud and fast as it was two to three weeks ago. I think it's about time. I love making sales, but I hate to see the market go up superficially.

Do I fear for Roy's safety? ... Absolutely. How could you watch him lie still on the canvas for such a long time after getting knocked out by Glen Johnson, watch his feet quiver like that, and not be concerned? He couldn't be any worse than he was against Glen Johnson. I don't rule out that he could beat Antonio Tarver. I just don't think it's worth taking the risk. I would prefer not to see him get hit in the head again.

Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice; say that I was a drum major for peace; I was a drum major for righteousness. I want to leave a committed life behind.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

Any time you come to Charlotte, you've got to beat (Johnson). We've got one up on 'em right now.

That's why we do it. No one wants to put on a wool uniform and march in hot weather and no one wants to carry a 20-pound drum around.

John H. Johnson, what a man, what a legacy. Although his written words were many, his spoken words were few. I'd like to share some of his most poignant taken from his autobiography 'Succeeding Against the Odds.' He says, and I quote, 'I believe that the only failure is failing to try and if my life has meaning, it is because millions of Americans, black and white, have proved through me that the dream is still alive and well and working in America,'

Jim Rose (1956-)

I think Hurricane Katrina has exposed America for what it is, ... I think it's bigger than black and white. I think it has a lot more to do with rich and poor. We've always known that America is a racially driven country. We front like it's all good, but we know the levels of racism that are in America. It shows that America doesn't give a damn about people in the hood, period.
