The Drum Major for Justice - Dr. Martin L. King
Happy Birthday - Dr. Martin Luther King
Drum Major for Justice
It is befitting that I and the world remember this day and honor the name of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - The Drum Major of Justice.
Not only do I honor the name but I call upon the ideas, values, principles, quotes, and beliefs that are so much need in today's society of BITTERNESS, discrimination, bigotry, FEAR and misguided anger.
For African Americans, other People of Color, Work-Challenged and ALL ethnicities, he called for your intelligence, moral will, love, character and willingness to be an adovocate for what is right, even if you have to stand alone. And, you will "standalone" - However, there is a connecting dot, if you are willing to carry the banner, the idea, the discourse to another level, another place and/or another person (s).
Annual Commitment
So, today, Mary Glass, re-commit to another year of vigorous advocacy for the payment of the check that has been sent back NSF - insufficent funding for quality of life and economic development (civil-human and legal rights) of African Americans and all who are disenfranchised on a daily and "in-your-face" way - It allows the default to continue. We must step up an Call for Service and demand justice - to call for accountability of the Emancipation Proclamation of our uninalienable rights. The check that Dr. King spoke about on August 28, 1963 in Washington, DC - in his I Have a Dream Speech.

Glass creates NAACP "Suspenders" Network Website - Members and Branches
Milwaukee, WI - On December 22, 2010, Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association, elected 2010 Nominating Committee Secretary-Milwaukee Branch and NAACP Suspended Member (November 1, 2010, after 83 days of membership), launched a NEW website for gathering of information, data, specifics regarding the suspension of branch members, branch officers, entire branches and recalled elections.
After being suspended by the National President-CEO, Ben Jealous for "trumped-up" and "misrepresentation", Glass set out to investigate the bizarre behavior of Jealous and the national leaders; especially since numerous correspondence to Jealous and Chairwoman Roslyn Brock failed to get a "civil-courteous" reply.
Investigation
Glass investigation immediately revealed similar "arbitrary and capricious" behavior with no regard for members rights; or, the brand of the NAACP- National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In fact, the questionable and sometimes thuggish behavior by hired staff - Roger Vann, Chief of Staff and Rev. Glenn Ford - National staff member was repeated in other cities across the United States. The "lawless" behavior by Vann and Ford was compounded by a similar pattern of lock-step behavior of local branch presidents, state officers and regional officers. The pattern of behavior harvested members of branches, elected members of branches (nominating committee, supervisory committee, branch officers and at-large executive board members) and entire branches being suspended with a dictatorial redress and disregard for "human" or "civil" rights.
The pattern revealed "legal" concerns dealing with membership recordkeeping by local and national payments, operation of the incumbent president (being maintained by national), voiding a bona fide election by the members of a branch, taking over elections without cause and the appearance of extortion, vindictive suspension and impromptu suspensions as a means of "stifling free speech", and a guaranteed election by default.
February Forum
In addition to offering a website and email for communication of unacceptable behavior of the national office.
Glass is in the process of organizing the first forum of the year in Milwaukee during Black History Month for to address an ALL HANDS on DECK, WE, Not Me gathering in February, 2011 to address the enduring concentrated poverty and a BOTTOM-Up Recovery program for which many of the areas of the NAACP is lacking leadership.
It is most definitely to collaboratively look at the NAACP national board, the court of public opinion and the U.S. Court system to address the wrongdoings of members of the NAACP and the desecration of the NAACP brand.
