January's Top 5

1. The Children of Children Keep Coming

Look at the video from The Tower Journal that features school children and our friend Russell Goings, the founder of Essence magazine (and so much more). His epic poem of the African-American experience in America, The Children of Children Keep Coming, is inspiring students from grade school through college. We can't think of a better way to bring in the New Year than to focus on remembrance of things past and hope for a better future. Click on russell's photo to visit his Facebook page.
