Mom Who Had Baby Snatched Away, Released

[Kind of Blue]

3. Thanks again for the update, spicysista!

Now it makes sense and I'm hopeful, too, that she has a good case. I just hope that the baby will recover completely from the brutality.

Yes, I was absolutely fascinated by Ms. Baker's life and she was my inspiration to be fearless and to travel. I remember as a girl, her last concert after years away from the U.S. was such a huge deal and a clip was shown on 60 Minutes or something. Then she was found in a coma and passed shortly afterward with newspapers of glowing reviews about the concert all over her bed.

From what I understand, she was the only female speaker at the March on Washington. And after Dr. King's death, Ms. Coretta asked Ms. Baker to lead the movement. I adore her, too, spiceysista, and hope that she'll always be remembered not just as a glamorous woman but also a fighter throughout her life against anti-blackness. But her fun and beautiful side keeps me going, too

“I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad. And when I get mad, you know that I open my big mouth. And then look out, ’cause when Josephine opens her mouth, they hear it all over the world. . . .

I am not a young woman now, friends. My life is behind me. There is not too much fire burning inside me. And before it goes out, I want you to use what is left to light the fire in you.”
