Well, this week got much busier than I thought. So Thursday and Friday obviously don't have posts. I am currently in Little Rock this weekend for some much needed R&R. The Peabody Hotel is one of the nicest hotels in America. With all of the amenities and two exclusive penthouse floors the Peabody has everything you could ask for. Well before I leave from this very short post I would like to take time to mention my Black History moment. Since I am in Little Rock, Arkansas, I think its only right to mention some of the brave men and women who were trailblazers here. In 1957 nine African-American students tried to attend school at Little Rock Central High School. After the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education, these students, rightfully tried to enter into the formerly all white institution. However, the current governor at the time Orval Faubus intervened. At which time, President Dwight D. Eisenhower provided military escorts in favor of these nine pioneers. These pioneers are testaments in the 21st Century to a history of the struggle to overcome prejudice and discrimination. Well I hopefully have inspired a few souls and I hope to be able to post more pics of the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock. Because, if you have the money it is probably the only place to be in town.
