Additions to http://www.geocities.com/inalllherandhisnames/seeing.html Especially In Honor of King and Gandhi and other upcoming Holidays http://www.geocities.com/inalllherandhisnames/seeing.html#3 http://www.geocities.com/inalllherandhisnames/seeing.html#7
HoliDays of EveryKings...and EveryQueens and EveryMahatmas... Female and Male All Are Celebrated as We See More Wholly and Fully: This time, as we remember Martin Luther King Jr. (actual birthday on January 15, celebrated January 20) and other beloved leaders of the civil rights movement and Mohandas K Gandhi and other leaders of freedom from domination and colonialism (on January 31st, India's "Martyr's Day"), and look forward to more holidays of understanding in thinking of the true possibilities of St. Valentines Day on February 14 (which is also the period of Susan B. Anthony's February 15 birthday which falls between two President's Birthdays and thereby reminds us of and honors their then unvoting wives among the millions of unvoting and unrepresented women such as Harriet Tubman, Mary Todd, and both Martha and her slaves as well) this time, many more of us will also be just as importantly thinking of and focussing on their wives and other women who lead with them in the human ascent to freedom and peace. Even more than in the past, we will think equally about the times and lives of Kasturba and Coretta, and the many other women colleagues such as Rosa Parks, the woman poet Laureate of India as well as world supporters like Margaret Bourke-White and Anne Marie Anderssen, of Winnie Mandela and her and Nelson's daughters, and their communities' children, female as well as male, who stood bravely and caringly shoulder to shoulder, saw eye to eye, and loved heart to heart with many men in the non-violent struggles of America, India, South Africa, and in the world's struggle toward freedom and peace for all, of all lands and races. And we remember too, the abolitionist and suffragist leaders long past, who also went to jail, fasted and engaged in non-violent protest, organizing and community building even earlier, in the 1800's and early 1900's, such as Susan B, Anthony, Henry David Thoreau, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady and Henry Stanton, Harriet Tubman, and Alice Paul and many others, and more recently in other countries often unknown to us, such as 1970's womens' sit-ins leaders like Vigdis Finnboggedottir who was one of the early leaders of bringing women into the now gender balanced Scandianvian countries, the Tienamen Square tank-stoppers and protesters female and male, and the men and women of India of week long sit-ins. not covered by Western media, in 1998. for at least 1/3 seats for women's representation in India outlined in the still tabled Women's Reservation Bill, and the long periods of imprisonment of Benazir Bhutto and her husband and many others, and similar stories of people in South America, the Balkans, the Middle East, native Americans and so on and on. Non-violent protest and the path of change has always been gender balanced. It's fulfillment will be gender balanced, as well. So, we will be thinking of both personal and social anniversaries of remarkable couples, and families, as well as births of remarkable individuals, Queens as well as Kings, and women and men Mahatmas of many places on our shared earth. We will remember how many of these women and men married hearts, hopes and ideas. Some of their names will be famous. And some, equally important, may be less known to us, but they have always been known to God. In an age moving beyond genderism and enjoying egalitarian marriage and colleaguehood both, we can think of them, all of them, now. In order to become the full Messengers of Peace, As We Rise this time, We Will All Rise -- together. The false hierarchies of genderism, racism and nationalism divide us. We overcome as we overcome these false dominations, hierarchies and alienations. We respect and enjoy our uniqueness, our differences and shared common ground, in loving mutuality that is unity that unites all men and women, all families and communities. As we do so, we all save the world. The discussion of the importance of geopolitical gender balance and gender cooperation available at http://www.geocities.com/inallherandhisnames/seeing.html now includes or links to information about many of these famous families, and a few of their potential colleagues and successors, of either/both family and/or community, in overcoming. Women and men like Sunanda and Arun Gandhi, authors of The Forgotten Woman, at the Gandhi Institute, and their many family and friends in a rising new Memphis where the Civil Rights Museum also rises; the entire King family, female and male, and their many friends and colleagues in a rising new Atlanta that remembers their father and mothers of the struggle like Coretta and Rosa Parks; and the memory of both Mohandas and Kasturba, their friend Nehru and his wife, their daughter Indira and her husband, their son Rajiv, and their families' and hundreds of millions of Indian's hopes and combined spirit rising again in Sonia Gandhi, her and Rajiv's daughter Priyanda who supports her so, and their many colleagues of a rising New Delhi and India where the multi-party sit-ins of 1998 empowered the gender balance wave that also ignited Agacinski and Jospin in France, and is the kindest and quickest way to change the world and bring peace to everyone; her sisters and brothers in Pakistan such as Benazir Bhutto and her family, and now many others, and the whole Mandela family of Africa, women as well as men, and leaders of gender balance in many lands, such as the many now in Scandinavia, Costa Rica, South Africa, Argentina, Germany, the women leaders and their families of all lands, and the inevitably and exponentially growing list. In honor of these families' and communities' activities, and with an in-sight vision of how their work can be linked to the work of Sweden-born Nane and Ghana-born Kofi Annan (UN), India-born Najma Heptulla and Sweden-born Anders Johnsson (IPU), and all the women as well as men leaders behind the scenes of the Interparliamentary Union/United Nations to rapidly bring a culture of world citizenship and world peace, via gender balance as the underlying condition needed for racial and class reconciliation and a world united by peace, specific additions have been made to the following sections: <A HREF="#3"><P>3.
