Graham W. Jackson in tears playing “Goin’ Home” for funeral train of President Franklin D. Roosevelt of which he was a close personal friend. ????

Born in 1903, Graham W. Jackson was a writer and performer who was well versed with the organ, the piano, accordion, and as a choral conductor. He rose to prominence after he was featured at the Royal Theatre and at Bailey’s “81.”

Through his performances he went on to join the faculty at Washington High School in Atlanta where he served as its music director until 1940.

He became close personal friends with Eleanor and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Jackson and Roosevelt were even collaborating at the Little White House on a version of Dvorak’s “Goin’ Home” the day before FDR’s death. This photo shows Jackson playing the same song as Roosevelt’s funeral train left Warm Springs. Later, when speaking about the photo Jackson said:

The photographer stumbled over my foot and looked up. He saw my face and saw those tears coming down my cheek, and he just reached around on his shoulder and got one of his cameras and – blip – and thought no more of it.

It’s strange to think that anyone ever believed that Muhammad Ali was truly down for the count. After becoming a vocal defender of civil rights in the 1960s and changing his name to reflect his new Islamic beliefs, America turned on Ali.

When he refused to take part in military service during the Vietnam War he was stripped of his boxing titles and he was banned from taking part in the sport he loved… all for speaking his mind.

Ali re-entered the sport he so loved on October 26, 1970, to face boxer Jerry Quarry. Ali took the man down in three rounds and officially announced that the king was back. Continue reading Muhammad Ali with a young fan in a Florida diner in 1970. (Photo by Danny Lyon)

By: Leslie Cane: One of the most common questions that I get or am asked on my “save my marriage blog” is what are the signs of a husband who wants a divorce. I’m rarely asked for signs indicating the opposite. But, sometimes wives do notice positive changes in their husband’s attitude or stance on the separation or divorce and they’ll ask me how a husband might act when he’s decided that he wants to work things out and save your marriage. It’s important to recognize these signs, because when your husband’s attitude shifts, so should yours. If he’s becoming more receptive to working things out, then you’ll want to place your focus on improving your marriage rather than on changing his mind. So, in the following article, I’ll offer some signs to look for that might indicate that your husband wants to work things out and save your marriage.

He’s Being Attentive And Involved Again: One of the first signs that your husband has checked out of the marriage or might want a separation or divorce is that he will often distance himself from you or your family. He might not even realize (or will acknowledge) that he’s doing this, but creating distance is often the first step toward going his own way. If he’s considering leaving or wants out, you might notice that he’s simply not around as much or, when he is, his mind is a million miles away.

However, if he’s decided that he now wants to work things out, the opposite will be true. You’ll see him making a noticeable attempt to be present both literally, physically, and emotionally.

He’s Showing You Genuine Emotional And Physical Affection: Husbands who want separations or divorces will generally withdraw their affection. Continue reading Signs Your Husband Wants To Work Things Out And Save Your Marriage
