When James Brown died on Christmas Day of 2006,
a little bit of all us died with him. The spirit in him was the spirit

I believe it is safe to say, and that most will agree with the simple
fact that there are more children being born outside of marriages.
There are also fewer marriages to begin with. But, sadly, what we probably won’t agree upon is the root cause of

We’ve started a new tradition for Father’s Day and are inviting all Fathers, Step-Fathers, Adopted Fathers, Foster Fathers, Surrogate Fathers and any other type of Fathers to participate with us. Ordinarily, on Father’s Day, Dads are expected to receive gifts and other pleasures from their offspring. Of course, we have never gotten anywhere near the level of goodies that Mothers get on their day, (our lobby isn’t as powerful as theirs), but that’s not what this is about. What we’re proposing is something entirely different. We’re starting a tradition of Dads giving their children a gift on Father’s Day: a photograph of themselves.

thousand ships," then Richard Pryor is the voice that launched a
thousand comedians and artists of every hue.
