my mother heard it whine. it's only the wind my grand mother told her. but the clouds above stood still. there was no wind that day. it is almost dawn. she is quiet now. mother, i said, stroking her hair and forehead. she opens her eyes and for a moment creeps me with a blank stare as if i was part of the nightmare. but she smiles and the past restores itself. i kept you up again my mother said. no. it was the heat, i answered softly. inhealing the frayingance of mangos that drifted in from the orchard. and bowed my head to the mercy of the flies. my last piece is about what it was like what it might feel like to be dead. i was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago. luckily i'm here but there were sleepless nights i thought, what would it be like to be dead. so -- >> the dead listened with her ice. their voices heavy with regret drop like grain on deaf pavements where children listen and trace their shadow. they dance memorize steps on wooden stairways. they sleep with their eyes open dreaming of half eaten cake. low hum of a car radio. the feel of wat

a mother of three sons victoria bill mother has never really given much thought as to why her eldest child is so much unlike his parents and siblings of victoria a main concern has always been to make sure that the boys were well fed properly dressed and happy. husband nicholai treated all his sons equally he never played favorites also any of them as an ugly duckling when his son was just two years old nicholas drew this picture on the wall of the house only years later did he realize it had a much deeper significance. once when we already had kids my wife and i were looking at this picture suddenly it dawned upon us the two wives ones where younger children collin invicta both of them are blown and then there was the black swan a dark haired and dark eyed boy on the day how did this happen. peace in the family was nearly shattered when the parents discovered that they had spent the past eighteen years raising someone else's child. it turned out that this one was not hers. it was from another floor. and moment dad told me that i was not their son. there was another one because i. di

best mother contests tested mothers' knowledge. tore through celebrated motherhood as a vital institution, mothers with infants in arms marched, paraded down main street to the applause of the flag-waving townspeople. at the bureau's request, congress declared 1918 to be the year of the child. its campaign to promote good mothering and reduce infant mortality involved that year an amazing 11 million american women. ms. lathrop's greatest policy achievement, passing of the shepherd counter act in 1921. in 1918, maternal deaths in childbirth still numbered 23,000 in the year. up from 16,000 two years earlier. and the infant mortality rate that year still stood at 100 deaths per 1,000 live births. about twice the level found in western europe. shepherd towner would provide funds for state-level programs of instruction in maternal and infant hygiene, prenatal child health clinics and visiting nurses for pregnant and new mothers. in ms. lathrop's words, challenged the americanization of the family. it is not to get the government to do

my family, my mother is first generation i'm second generation.d mother lived in the apartment building with us. i had aunts upstairs. another aunt lived close by. pretty much 4 days a week my great uncle would come in and visit all of these people my uncle, my grand mother and so forth, all were from a town land called outside of robin. when i was growing up i would hear the names. and they would conjure the sense of another world i was no longer a part of but was connected to. i think the -- i came to the brink of this sort of, you know, really quest gradualy by hearing the names. the other experience i had when i was growing up is music in my grand mother's house. my grand mother live on the first floor of the apartment building the door was open. everyone in the apartment building stopped there after work. they would stop for a drink and play polka, not polka, poker. and lynched to john gibbons play an accordion on his wooden leg. you had the sense of people having come over if not in mass by a great number to this other place with a kind of e

i know with the navajos, it's paternal, that you are traced through your mother, and your mother's mother. with the ojibway, is it fraternal or paternal, or is it the same as the northern cheyenne? >> it's the same. basically, all native americans believe in the mother - the mother earth. the females created us; without the females, we wouldn't be here. and that's the same way we believe we have a lot of respect for the female - the females. >> yeah, as you said - and i love this image with the sweat lodge - you're actually moving back into the womb, back into the mother earth. >> yeah, that's grandmother earth's womb. >> yeah, that's an amazing, concept in that area. question? >> yeah. i thought first you said your son was being raised in your wife's religion. >> no. >> now, it's just the opposite i hear. is it usually through the mother's religion, or each family decides which way the children will be raised? >> basically, it goes with the father - the father. and like i say, he's been raised - >> because you're ojibway. >> yeah, ojibway all his life, so he sings - i'm teaching him the

education is a top issue for latina mothers and as for most mothers. i live in d.c.ave two children in a bilingual charter school. i heard you talking about this earlier. there are no quick fixes. there is not one thing that is going to make everything better. we really do need to look at what all of the options are. my family is lucky in that we have this great charter school, but we're also inbound for a public school that is one of the best public schools in the country, where michelle rhee sent her kids and is bilingual. i think what latina mothers and frankly again all mothers look at is, what is the effect of the school, the environment, the teacher, the programs? what is going to be the effect of all of that on the kids? and that i think is the comprehensive evaluation we all need to make as a community. >> absolutely. mr. blackwell you were saying earlier talking about voting, voters don't go for just one thing. it's always comprehensive. talk to me about where you stood. this has been maybe not that tense but a tense part of the your kitchen table conversati

i'm father to some, and i'm mother to others.sound nuts to people that don't know, but for us it's something -- it's a normal thing. >> like you can talk to your house mother about things that, you know, maybe your biological mother just wouldn't want to hear. >> our pretend family is just as important as our real family. >> i don't like being referred to as a male or he. >> i want curves. >> i want to dress. i didn't want no hips, i didn't want no butt. i wanted breasts. hit 'em, with roundup extended control. one application kills weeds, and stops new ones for up to four months. roundup extended control. >>> a few days before the latex ball, angelika is shopping for a gown that will make her look like the queen of the world 2050. clothes are essential to passing as a woman. >> i definitely want people to know that i don't like being referred to as a male or he. that, you know, i prefer the pronoun she, that i am a female. i feel as though i'm a female, and you know, that's how i want to be looked at. that's how i want to be per

mother to mother i spoke with his mother and she just said, i'm not looking for eye for an eye but justice for my son. that was my son on the videotape, my baby. i told her i share her anger and anguish as the mother of a son and i got to tell you i don't even know that it's racial at this point. i think all mothers should be outraged about the fact that you can send your kid to get skittles and he may never come back. >> leigh anne, you have two sons, one black and one white. do you as a mother of those two boys, are there different sets of realities as a mother of those kids that you have to accept? that you are resigned to or rebel against? >> first of all, anybody that thinks racism is not alive and well in this country you need to turn around because you're missing the point. it is. my family sees it day in and day out. it is amazing the looks and stares and opinions that we get. obviously if you've seen the movie you know i don't care what your opinion is about me or my family. we know what counts. the fact this young man was perceived and stereotyped and pigeon holed because he had

my mother was in high school when the march on washington occurred. the weeks leading up to the march, my mother participated in many peaceful demonstrations and picket lines in front of the white house. again, this is another example of unshakable persistence and sacrifice. she did this being afraid and not reacting when the white agitators were spitting on her and her girlfriend. it was important for her to peacefully continue in her fight for justice and civil rights. i mother was the first to obtain a college degree and went on to an education in education that lasted for decades. my work ethic was derived from her. when you are the daughter of a teacher and administrator i had a front row seat to watching a woman at work in the classroom. most of all, i would -- i truly mean this and the gravity of this hit me last week when i was before commission -- rules committee. i'm humbled and thankful for the many african-american women here who have paved the way for me, naomi kelly. supervisor kennedy who is here in the audience with us. supervisor dori

[laughter] now he said to daisy you are beautiful, you are charming so i think it was an important timing to understand the relationship. i think she really loved him and as far as i know he truly loved her. they were married in 1886. this was the day that as the wedding couple got in a carriage are well-wisher threw rice and a piece of rice lodged in juliette low's y

it was the second miracle attributed to mother theodore guerin.f providence were hopeful, but the bills were adding up. the pressure was on. it was 2005. the sisters knew they were in an era of saint making. john paul ii himself was a saint maker. he made the process easier, cutting down the number of miracles needed to make a saint from three to just two and allowing lay people, not just priests, to petition causes. back in terre haute, indiana, it was all coming together, 100 years of work, and a pope who could pave the way to sainthood for mother guerin. then on april 2nd, 2005, pope john paul ii died. did you think, oh, no? oh, no. we might have to start over? >> no. >> you didn't have that? >> no. god will provide. that's what providence is. god will provide. >> reporter: two months after john paul died on june 5th, 2005, doctor andrea ambrosi returned to the congregation of saints for what would be a pivotal meeting. nearly 100 years of work, hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, and it would all come down to one vote. ambrosi was in the h
