Dark Youth of the U.S.A.
"Dark Youth of the U.S.A."
Sturdy I stand, books in my hand--
Today's dark child, tomorrow's strong man:
The hope of may race
To mould a place
In America's magic land.
American am I, none can deny:
He who Oppresses me, him I defy!
I am Dark Youth
Seeking the truth
Of a free life beneath our great sky.
Long a part of the Union's heart-
Years ago at the nation's start
Attucks died
That right might abide
And strength to our land impart.
To be wise and strong, then, studying long,
Seeking the knowledge that rights all wrong-
That is my mission
Lifting my race to its rightful place
Till Beauty and pride fills each dark face
Is my ambition.
So I climb toward tomorrow, out of the past sorrow,
Treading the modern way
With the White and the Black whom nothing holds back
The American Youth of Today.
-Langston Hughes

"The Mission"
While we are here we must be committed to change. The initial change must be within, then change our external actions and perceptions, and then reach out to the current and future generations to change the perceived image of our youth. All of the knowledge we have been deprived of as kids and adolescents, but were able to acquire as young adults we must share with those who are lacking and uninformed. The goal is to create an informative Renaissance of music, poetry, art, photography, writing and other artistic talents. Along with being able to spread knowledge of money management, STD awareness, higher education and many more things effecting the youth of America.

Save Now or Sink later.
Saving money is something we all know about, but rarely do. Now more than ever with the economy and Government in turmoil, we as Young People NEED to save money. Most people think you need $1,000,000 to save money or be filthy rich... right? wrong! Check out this scenario: If you eat a $5 footlong sub everyday (excluding tax, drink, or combo) monday through friday for an entire month (30 days) that is $150. Now take that $150 x 12 months =$1,800. Now do this for the next 40 years and you have $72,000. Thats crazy right? All off of $5 a day! So the next time you go to spend money think about SAVING it!
