Struggles with the natural character, the strong native bent of the heart, may seem futile and fruitless, but in the end, they do well. They tend, however slightly, to give the actions, the conduct, that turn which Reason approves, and which Feeling, perhaps, too often opposes; they certainly make a difference in the general tenor of life, and enable it to be better regulated, more equable, quitter on the surface; and it is on the surface only the common gauge will fall. As to what lies below, leave that with God. Cultural triumphs are among some of the most beneficial developments for Americans, and there has been a cultural regeneration, in every American collective, with a substantial success in the African American community. Ideas, careers, and talent, from African Americans, has proliferated the consciousness of the World and especially America, and has allowed African Americans to excel; major leaps and bounds have been made in education, career, music, history, science, technology, festivals, writing and publishing, in TV and the news media. To further illustrate this point, there are more than 200 books, which produced by African Americans, and that is up from a few dozen just a few years ago. There are more than seventy-five African American publishing companies, and there is now a National Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent opened at Chicago State University. The purpose is to foster and sustain an interest in Literature, Music, and the Fine Arts by identifying and encouraging individual artists. This is allowing America to get to know successful African Americans and enjoy their life, energy, and culture, which is American culture. While we are speaking about the success and prominence of African Americans, I would like to take the time to recognize one of the most credible and prominent journalist, in Sacramento, California, Tia Ewing.

Tia Ewing is an amazing journalist; she is an employee, at the prestigious station, FOX40 News. FOX40 has a lot of wonderful journalist and photojournalist, and Tia Ewing is one of them. Tia loves her career and audience and the material she presents. Not only is Tia Ewing i not only successful, but she is also kind and always tries to see the best and others and look out for people who may need a little help. Recently, Tia Ewing recently won an award, for being an Exceptional Woman of Color, in Communications and Public Affairs. The award was presented by the Sac Hub Media Foundation. We would like to take the time to congratulate Journalist Tia Ewing for being an inspiration for not only women, but also for men and all Americans. She is really a sweetheart and is serious about her career. If you get a chance, tune into FOX40 News, on Saturday and Sunday, at 5pm and 10pm to see Tia Anchor the news. She always works during the week, too. After having yesterday off, to receive her award, Tia Ewing reports, “Loved my Saturday, but duty calls. Join me, back on the anchor desk today right after the 49ers game on FOX40. See you then!” We are all also looking forward to seeing you, Miss Tia, and I know being honor and recognized feels good. Therefore, I want the rest of you to keep in mind, dreams do come true, and just because you may not have been recognized yet, keep doing what you are good at (this advice actually came from Miss Tia Ewing). Every bright star is heard somewhere. There is many a way to win in this World, but none of them is worth much without good hard work to back it.
