Many Americans are historians without being aware of it. Each of has stories we pass, like family heirlooms, from generations to generations. The stories define us and connect us to distant places and significan events. You can start your own family history with a single old photo, letter, or a family tale that you save as a legacy for generation to come. Lots of people have a grandparent or a cousin who has been promising for years to write down his or her memories. Don’t wait for them, and risk losing part of your family history. KACOM Scrapbooking organizes your pictures, documents and momentoes
in albums and scrapbooks so you may preserve memories of your family for
generations. For more information, click here --

Celebrating the King of Pop - Gone Too Soon
President Barack Obama presents the Medal of
Freedom to Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, during a ceremony in the East Room at the White
House August 12, 2009.
The medal is the country's highest civilian honor..
In June 2008, Negro Leaguers were drafted in a pre-draft ceremony; a tribute formulated
by MLB Great and Hall-of-Famer, Dave Winfield and was embraced by Major League Baseball.
This was Winfield’s way of keeping the memory and dreams of Buck O’Neil alive.
The
living history was embodied in men like Emilio "Millito" Navarro, whom the Yankees
drafted. Navarro, now 102, is the oldest living professional ballplayer. The living
history was embodied in Mamie "Peanut" Johnson (Nationals), one of a handful of African-American
women to play professional baseball. They had the skills to play in the big leagues
but were denied the chance because of their skin color. The draft was held less than
48 hours after presidential candidate Barack Obama secured enough electoral and delegate
votes to clinch the Democratic nomination, and it was clear most people in the room
saw that as another major milestone for African-Americans.
Baseball fans saw Major
League Baseball tie up some of its loose ends, and were brought face to face with
living baseball history.
