		<description><![CDATA[My father walked off a boat in 1923 and checked in at Ellis Island. He was a black man. His path to citizenship couldn&#8217;t have been easy. But he wasn&#8217;t forced to hide in the shadows, worrying that he might be deported to Barbados. He was able to pursue his dream and become an American [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ebenezerray.com&#038;blog=13922120&#038;post=4079&#038;subd=elainecarolynray&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley signed legislation that paves the way for posthumous pardons of the Scottsboro Boys, nine black teenagers falsely accused in 1931 of raping two white women. For nearly a decade, my father used his New York Age column to remind his readers of what he called a travesty of justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr. could only have dreamed it. Yet their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are witnessing it under sunny skies in DC and on the airwaves across the nation.

In 1934, 1936 and 1938, he wrote about the Pilgrim fathers, who in 1623 faced &#8220;their second winter of hunger, cold and peril&#8221; until, after a day of prayer, sighted &#8220;a ship loaded with friends and supplies.&#8221; He ended every one of these columns [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ebenezerray.com&#038;blog=13922120&#038;post=3841&#038;subd=elainecarolynray&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m re-posting an entry I originally published in February of 2011, which seems like ages ago. Last Tuesday, We The People overcame voter suppression campaigns, lies, bungled debates and obscene amounts of campaign spending to reelect President Barack Obama and to put down efforts to make him a one-term president. Now that the Florida vote [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ebenezerray.com&#038;blog=13922120&#038;post=1628&#038;subd=elainecarolynray&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
