This is wonderful- an animated film based on the life of Usain Bolt.

This is a great web site featuring all things Jamaican Olympics. It seems to be an independent group of “Jamaican sports enthusiasts” who have put together an attractive, comprehensive web site leading up to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. Check it out here.

Congratulations to Lady Jessica, who is at the International Aids Conference in Durban, South Africa. She is representing the Colour Pink Foundation.

Happy Friday! Check out this article on Bolt in Sports Illustrated. (IMAGE from SI)

We are doing some light reading.

I saw someone post this on social media the other day, accompanied by some disapproving comments. Which I agree with. How does going out and dancing and drinking show support for such a monumental movement, one that will likely change the course of the U.S., for the better? Do these people not think of the actual lives lost? The men bleeding to death from gunshot wounds at the hands of authorities, those trusted to protect their lives?

I would like to talk to the organizers and see what was going through their heads. Did they have a moment of silence? Hand out any educational material? Leave any room for discussion? I doubt it…Did they also think of the lives lost in Jamaica that matter just as much? It seems they thought more about the dress code- All black, of course…I hope everyone enjoyed themselves…

This is worth a read, from Michael Brown’s mother, who was killed by police in Ferguson almost two years ago. There’s not much more we can say anymore…
