At The End of Our Day

One of the most annoying phrases in the English language is "at the end of the day." Why? In all actuality at the end of the day one should be able to take something away from it. What was the theme or lesson for the day? Did you meet or see anyone or anything interesting? Were you bale to change someone's life today? A few weeks ago NKU's NAACP chapter did a theatrical reinactment of certain events that shaped NAACP's history. Do you know how NAACP began? Do you know what motivated Rosa Parks to sit on the bus? Can you name some of Julian Bond's accomplishments? Does the name Fannie Lou Hammer ring a bell? What's the irony in the Jena Six case? It was those events and many activists that have helped shaped our day. So maybe you are not going to spend everyday stopping injustices but please know that the things you do will reap certain benefits and or consequences in the future. Even better is if you can tell ones that back in "our day" we able to appreciate the past, make the present a present and strived to make a strong impact on the future.
