Is it possible to reverse this phenomenon? Is it important that we try to regain the black hair industry? What do you suggest we do to make this happen? ]]><![CDATA[Indiana Town Experimented on Black Children]]>Thu, 13 Feb 2014 14:19:07 GMThttps://www.anniemalonehistoricalsociety.org/blog/indiana-town-experimented-on-black-childrenWe have heard of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, now we are hearing about a fake ringworm cure that involved young black children whose ringworms went untreated.  Do you trust the government to use you or your family in a test trial?  This is not an anti-government campaign, but a discussion on the subject.  Read the story at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/a-call-to-conscience ]]><![CDATA[Research Your Family History]]>Mon, 21 Oct 2013 03:09:49 GMThttps://www.anniemalonehistoricalsociety.org/blog/research-your-family-historyHow many people have tried to research your family history?  How far back could you go?

How do you propose we reach our youth and turn them away from this apathy
toward education to a realization that education is the means by which they gain
power and control over their own life and destiny?

Weekend box office gave '42' - the Jackie Robinson Story, the victory with a total sales of $27.3 million on opening weekend.  As painful as it was to watch, do you think it is still necessary to continue to make movies about heroes of our past like Jackie Robinson, Annie Turnbo Malone, Thurgood Marshall, and Col. John C. Robinson?
