Hi, To the New Year "2004" I hope this year will be as good as or better than last year. What I want for the New Year? 1. Give to GOD my life. Not just in words but acts, that means something to my faith. 2. Go to therapy 2 times a week. 3. Call my mother on Thursday. 4. Have money all month long. 5. Finish working with my weight and walking 2 to 3 times a week. 6. Work hard at all you do. 7. Show love to everything and everybody you meet.

What to do. Now that Christmas Is over.
Yes, Christmas is now over, you do not know what to do next well send all the Christmas money to me, and I will make you so proud on how I spend it. If not well, next year is almost here and you will have to do this again anyway in 354 days so think on this and send me your Christmas money to Daniel for things to do. Until next time. OK. I just wanted you to smile some and feel the energy come back into to you, so you can get into doing your jobs again before Monday comes around. The end of the year is the time you take to think of the things you did this year and find out if you have any thing you want to talk to GOD about before the next year comes round. You must do this now for GOD has a way to make you hear him and you may not like what you hear. For I know what I am talking about. Make your plans for next year now before it comes. Don't wait until the last minute to do this for your life is more important, than going to parties and having fun. See you Next YEAR 2004

My Father: Frank D. Reeves
Hi to all, This blog is going to about my frank D. Reeves his Life and Works. I am going to use the words of Dr. J. Clay Smith, Jr. Professor at the Howard University School of Law to make my point that this man needs to be remembered.I have put him on my web site at https://dankimtree311.tripod.com/. The person I want to talk about is my Father: Frank Daniel Reeves:
" Mr. Reeves was born on March 23, 1916 in Montreal, Canada. He moved to New York City in 1928, where he received his education. He earned both his undergraduate and law degrees from Howard University. Reeves graduated in the same class that produced Spottswood William Robinson III, James Aaron Washington, Jr., and twenty other lawyers, who like Mr. Reeves, would enter the legal profession throughout the United States. He was a member of the class of 1939.After receiving his law degree; Mr. Reeves went to New York City to work for the NAACP. Thurgood Marshall, who recognized his substantial interpretative intellect, relied on his legal skills. The 1950's proved to be a busy period in Mr. Reeves' life. During this time, Mr. Reeves was a key operative in helping to shape the landmark Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) (Brown I) and Brown v. Board of Education, 349 U.S. 294 (Brown II) (1955) which held that "separate but equal" in public schools based on race was unconstitutional (Brown I) and that desegregation should take place with all deliberate speed (Brown II).Reeves, like others, has earned an honored place in legal history. He joins a distinguished group of legal crusaders including Thurgood Marshall, Robert L. Carter, Louis Redding, Jack Greenberg, Spottswood W. Robinson, III, James Madison Nabrit, Jr., Constance Baker Motley, and Oliver Hill... He was the first African American appointed to the District of Columbia Board of Commissioners, an appointment that he declined (perhaps because he had higher political aspirations). In 1960, He became the first African American to serve on the Democratic National Committee and as an advisor on minority affairs to John F. Kennedy, who was then a Senator and the Democratic nominee for president. Frank Reeves' life was fully occupied with public service while teaching full time (Constitutional Law) at the Howard University School of Law during the 1960s. During this time, he also was counsel to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and helped negotiate the historic March on Washington in 1963 and the Poor Peoples Campaign in 1967-1968. Perhaps, one of the most important cases that Professor Reeves was involved was the landmark case of Powell v. McCormick, 395 U.S. 486 (1969), a case challenging the refusal by Congress to seat Congressman Adam Clayton Powell of New York (Harlem). In Powell v. McCormick, the Court agreed with the arguments presented by Reeves and ruled in favor of Congressman Powell, holding that the House of Representatives was without power to exclude from its membership any person who was duly elected and met the age, citizenship and residential requirements stated in the U.S. Constitution."
