     What Is A Poll Tax?

•    Poll taxes were fixed fees assessed upon eligible voters as a condition of casting a ballot.
•    Originally, poll taxes were government revenue-raising measures not directly linked to restricting voting rights.
•    Beginning during Reconstruction, the poll tax in the United States was used to prevent Black Americans from voting, especially in Southern states.
•    Ratified in 1964, the Twenty-fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution declared the poll tax unconstitutional in  federal elections.
•    In 1966 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the states could not levy a poll tax as a prerequisite for voting in state a

REMEMBER, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE TODAY IS WAITING TO READ WHAT YOU WILL DONATE.

BLACK HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY

Pioneering Olympic Medalist - Wilma Rudolph
Nicknamed "Skeeter" for her famous speed, Rudolph qualified for the 1956 Summer Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia. The youngest member of the U.S. track and field team at age 16, she won a bronze medal in the 400-meter relay. After finishing high school, Rudolph enrolled at Tennessee State University, where she studied education. She also trained hard for the next Olympics.

Held in Rome, Italy, the 1960 Olympic Games were a golden time for Rudolph. After tying a world record with her time of 11.3 seconds in the 100-meter semifinals, she won the event with her wind-aided mark of 11.0 seconds in the final. Similarly, Rudolph broke the Olympic record in the 200-meter dash (23.2 seconds) in the heats before claiming another gold medal with her time of 24.0 seconds. She was also part of the U.S. team that established the world record in the 400-meter relay (44.4 seconds) before going on to win gold with a time of 44.5 seconds. As a result, Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field at a single Olympic Games. The first-class sprinter instantly became one of the most popular athletes of the Rome Games as well as an international superstar, lauded around the world for her groundbreaking achievements.

Other Olympic Firsts -
•    In 1908, after winning the 4 x 400 meter relay, John Taylor became the first African American to win gold in the Olympics.
•    And in 1948, Alice Coachman became the first Black woman in the world to win an Olympic gold medal while competing in the high jump.
•    George Coleman Poage became the first Black person to earn a medal at the Olympic Games in 1904. He was a hurdler.

Sweet, Sweet Spirit

 
There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place
And I know that it's the spirit of the Lord

There are sweet expressions on each face
And I know that it's the presence of the Lord

Sweet Holy Spirit
Sweet Heavenly Dove
Stay right here with us
Filling us with Your love
And for these blessings
We lift our hearts in praise (hearts in praise)
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived
When we shall leave this place
