This son-of-a-preacher-man's life transcended race and nationality. His dream for a colorblind society, shaped his beliefs. He spoke out against the Holocaust, visited the Warsaw ghettos in Poland and co-founded the OAU (Organization for African Unity) with Web Dubois. Blacklisted by the H.U.A.C. Hearings, he received numerous awards and a mountain in Moscow was named in his honor.

Toilet discounts up to $165 for water-saving toilets won't be around much longer. Homeowners who want to reduce their water use and expense can change to high-efficiency toilets and receive a voucher discount worth up to $165 off the price of qualifying models. But you need to act soon, the discount incentive for single-family property owners ends 3/31/07.
The toilet replacement program has been the Water Authority's flagship conservation effort since 1991. It has been a key to regional water savings. “Conservation efforts have resulted in more than 102 billion gallons of water saved since 1991”, said Cindy Hansen, a senior water resources specialist for the San Diego County Water Authority. Much of that savings comes from the more than 518,600 toilets replaced in San Diego county homes.
Another household water-saving opportunity is high-efficiency clothes washers and vouchers are also available for them. By teaming with San Diego Gas & Electric to offer one convenient incentive, the Water Authority now offers a $175 discount available at nearly all retail appliance stores.
