"Suppose I don't make any quicker times in the 100, I would love to be able to run 18-something seconds in the 200, even if it was an 18.99 race," [Bolt] said in his 291-page book. "I don't think it's totally out of reach in the next season or so. Seriously, who would be surprised if I did it? Who's going to stop me from going faster?" Bolt asked. 'The only man who can bring an end to my status as a star of track and field in the next couple of years is me, and I'm a phenomenon, a serious competitor - a legend for my generation. Believe me, my time isn't up just yet."
[Carolyn Cooper] said there is a dissonance between "the brand" and the "representation of the brand" and that "until in Jamaica we come to acknowledge Jamaica is not an "out of many, one people" country but it is really a country of black people with small numbers of ethnic minorities, we're not going to get the brand right." 'At Independence, Emancipation Day just disappeared. Because if you have Emancipation Day, then you have to ask yourself what you were emancipated from. And then certain people would have to say, well, we were mixed up in it. Slavery, that is. So Emancipation Day was just erased,"she said. "But Garveyites and Rastafari kept the tradition of celebrating Emancipation Day. And it's now back on the national calendar. We even have an Emancipation Park!" "This book is a celebration of Brand Jamaica, the authentic Brand Jamaica and I hope that as you read it, you'll understand why I'm so passionate about the subject," said Cooper as she ended her remarks.
[Alcorn] began collecting books for the school in October with a goal of accumulating 1,000 books. Faculty, staff, alumni, students and surrounding communities have contributed all kind of resources, exceeding Alcorn's goal of 1,000 books. ''I'm impressed and thankful that the Alcorn family has been so generous," [M. Christopher Brown II] said. "We are not a rich university, but Alcorn demonstrates our commitment to continuously invest in the knowledge and economic prosperity in our nation and beyond our borders, one of Alcorn's founding missions." To donate hooks or money to Alcorn's Zumbi dos Palmares University book drive, Call the Alcorn State University Foundation at 601.877.6296.
According to Bolt, Mills once said to him : "I don't worry about you when you're unfit. It's when you're strong that I stress because your testosterone goes high - through the roof. You have the potential to get yourself into trouble." "Going out occasionally, dancing and chilling with friends was a release valve from the pressures of living in the spotlight," [Bolt] added. "It helped me to work properly on the track and nobody, nobody was going to tell me otherwise."
