Great moment with this family at Tsak Valley in Enga Province

Great moment with this family at Tsak Valley in Enga Province. I can truly say there is alot of good people in Enga Province.

I have never really felt important till I started travelling to the Highlands of Papua New Guinea.

Honestly, pasin em yupla yah.

In most of my trips up the Highlands, I left my own mother and family back at home. But the way my mothers from the Highlands region of the nation could just make me feel at home. I could not easily forget.

No matter the challenges we as a nation are facing. There is so much good in our country.

We just rarely talk about it.

I can't wait to go up the Highlands again and share the beauty of not only the environment but the people too.

Yumi em wan kantry tasol.

Stay blessed.

AFRICAN AMERICAN FIRSTS - MOSES FLEETWOOD WALKER (1857-1924)

Moses Fleetwood Walker, often called Fleet, was the first African American to play major league baseball in the nineteenth century. Born October 7, 1857, in Mount Pleasant, Ohio, Walker was the fifth of six children born to parents, Dr. Moses W. Walker, a physician, and Caroline Walker, a midwife. Oberlin College admitted Walker for the fall 1878 semester. In 1881, he played in all five games of the new varsity baseball team at Oberlin. Before the end of the year, however, Walker left Oberlin to play baseball for the University of Michigan. In July 1882, Walker married Bella Taylor and the couple had three children. Fleetwood Walker was able to earn money as a catcher. He played individual games for the White Sewing Machine Company of Cleveland (August 1881), the New Castle (Pennsylvania) Neshannocks (1882), and with the Toledo Blue Stockings of the Northwestern League (1883). In August 1883, Adrian “Cap” Anson, manager of the Chicago (Illinois) White Stockings, stated his

Half of all U.S. states, specifically 25, have names that originate from Native American languages

Half of all U.S. states, specifically 25, have names that originate from Native American languages or have Native American origins. These names reflect the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indigenous peoples who inhabited these lands before European colonization. The states with Native American names include: 1. Alabama - Derived from the Alabama tribe, a Muskogean-speaking people. 2. Alaska - Derived from the Aleut word "alaxsxaq" or "agunalaksh," meaning "the mainland" or "great land." 3. Arizona - Derived from the O'odham word "Alĭ ṣonak," meaning "small spring" or "place of the small spring." 4. Arkansas - Derived from the French interpretation of the name given to the Quapaw people, a tribe living along the Arkansas River. 5.

R.L. BURNSIDE (1926-2005) was a charismatic singer and guitarist

R.L. BURNSIDE (1926-2005) was a charismatic singer and guitarist, in the deepest Mississippi Hill Country tradition. He learned and was greatly influenced by Fred McDowell, and also played in the style of John Lee Hooker. A lot happened in his 78 years. He was first recorded in 1967 by George Mitchell, and went on to make several records for various European labels. Later in his life, in the 1990s, he was crossover hit with his recordings on the Fat Possum label, with his own band and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. A farmer, fisherman, and family man, he had many children, several of which played music. I met him in the early 1990s, he was very kind, and funny, known for his toasts and jokes as well as his hypnotic, trance-inducing style.
