United State President George W Bush Address to the Nation, 8:30PM September, 11 2001. Good evening. Today our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, business men and women, military and Federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our Nation into chaos and retreat, but they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining. Today our Nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescueworkers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could. Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our Government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, DC, to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks. The functions of our Government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well. The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. I appreciate so very much the Members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance. America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism. Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me." This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world. Thank you. Good night, and God bless America. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=58057

215. Jennifer Lentini, 31, was shaking as she embraced 56 year old Vicki Brannon the mother of the heart transplant donor who saved her life 18 years ago for the first time. Brannon is seen here listening to her son's heart beat inside of Lentini. A mother got to hear her son’s heart beat for the first time in nearly two decades and a Long Island woman got to say “thank you” during an emotional Valentine’s Day meeting. The tear filled meeting at Tampa International Airport had special meaning as Saturday also marked National Donor Day. Lentini had suffered from heart muscle disease as a teen and was hospitalized for months waiting for a transplant in 1996.“I finally get to say thank you,” Lentini said Saturday after embracing Brannon.“I grew up with it. I’ve had my transplant longer than I didn’t have it.”Brannon’s son, Matthew McIntyre, was mortally wounded by a friend who accidentally fired a .380-caliber handgun, and the grieving mother made the decision to donate her son’s organs.The two women wept and held hands after they hugged near the airport’s baggage claim.Brannon, 56, couldn’t contain her tears as she recalled her fear that the transplant wouldn’t take.“I want her in my life and I think she wants the same,” Brannon said, barely able to get the words out.“I was in fear of if it didn’t work, if she passed, I would go through another loss of my son.”Lentini assured Brannon that she has been taking good care of herself to ensure that, “Matthew’s heart keeps beating.” http://m.nydailynews.com/new-york/woman-meets-mother-donated-slain-son-heart-article-1.2115872 Amefrica Ishilove justwise 7 Likes 1 Share

Black people did not "come to this country seeking a better life." They were kidnapped from their homes in Africa, dragged in chains and loaded onto slave ships, treated not like human beings but like things, commodities to be traded and used to enrich others. Tens of millions of enslaved Africans died before even reaching America, so terrible were the conditions on the slave ships. Those who survived the trip and were then sold to plantation owners were treated like pieces of machinery. Slaveowners commonly referred to the slaves as "talking tools." That is how Black people were treated for the first 250 years of their experience in America. Revolution Magazine. Picked from Pinterest .com
