My Destiny's Child Videography

The reason I chose Destiny's Child is because I love mostly all their music. Some of their music are relate-able to real life situations. Destiny's Child has always stood up for women and their rights through their music. Their music will never get old and will always remain a hit. Destiny's Child will always be the best girl group of all time including TLC in my opinion.

Destiny's Child was an American girl group whose final and best known line-up comprised Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Formed in 1997, in Houston, Texas, Destiny's Child members began their musical endeavors as Girl's Tyme comprising, formed in 1990, among others, Knowles, Rowland, La'Tavia Roberson and Le'Toya Luckett. After years of limited success, they were signed in 1997 to Columbia Records and Music World Entertainment as Destiny's Child. Destiny's Child was launched into mainstream recognition following the 1999 release of their best selling second album, The Writing's On The Wall, which contained the number one singles Bills, Bills, Bills and Say My Name. Despite critical and commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict and legal turmoil, as Roberson and Luckett attempted to split from the group's manager Mathew Knowles, citing favoritism of Knowles and Rowland.

Lowell Milken For Unsung Heroes Project

Daisy Bates

Born: November 11, 1914

Died: November 4, 1999

Unsung Heroes: One who has created positive change in history by improving the lives of others and has yet to be recognized. The individual’s impact must have stood the test of time.

I chose Daisy Bates because she's very powerful and fought for her rights. She was an American civil rights activist, publisher, journalist, and lecturer who played a leading role in the Little Rock Integration Crisis of 1957. Bates played a major role in the fight in segregation. In 1957, she helped nine African American students to become the first to attend all-white Central High School in Little Rock, who became known as the Little Rock Nine.The group first tried to go to the school on September 4 but was quickly turned down. As a teenager, Bates met Lucious Christopher “L.C.” Bates, an insurance agent and an experienced journalist.

The couple married in the early 1940s and moved to Little Rock, Arkansas. Together they operated the Arkansas State Press, a weekly African-American newspaper. The paper championed civil rights, and Bates joined in the civil rights movement. She became the president of Arkansas chapter of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1952. Her house became the headquarters for the battle to integrate Central High School and she served as a personal advocate and supporter to the students. The first day of school was on September 25, 1957.

Bates also received numerous threats, but this would not stop her from her work. The newspaper she and her husband worked on was closed in 1959 because of low adverting revenue. Three years later, her account of the school integration battle was published as The Long Shadow of Little Rock. For a few years, she moved to Washington, D.C., to work for the Democratic National Committee and on antipoverty projects for the Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration.
