Salute and respect to Brother Dupré Kelly aka @doitalldu and the Honorable #RasJBaraka. Brother Baraka was just re-elected as Mayor of Newark, NJ and Doitall with the West Ward council seat (he has a run-off pending, but he’s good). Brothers will work it out, by presiding over our communities. The inside/outside game is so real. This is historic and groundbreaking, especially for Hip-Hop culture. Du is an emcee through and through and Ras is not a slouch with those poetry bars. A revolution can be a long, arduous process. Respect to both of these Kings. #TBT #alphaphialpha #phrat https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdd7skMlgPQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Charles Douglas Langford (December 9, 1922 – February 11, 2007) was an Alabama state senator who represented Rosa Parks in the famous civil rights case of the 1960s. He served in the Alabama Legislature as a State Representative, in District 77, Montgomery County, from 1976 to 1983, and as a State Senator, in District 26, Montgomery County, from 1983 to 2002. He was the sixth child of Nathan G. and Lucy Brown Langford. He was one of two African American lawyers in Montgomery at this time. He completed two years at Tuskegee Institute before being drafted into the Army during WWII, where he served overseas as a truck driver in the European Theater Operation. He had an honorable discharge from the Army in 1946. He earned his JD at The Catholic University of America. He had earned his BA at Tennessee State University. He was a partner in the law firm of Gray, Langford, Sapp, McGowan, Gray, and Nathanson. He helped end the flying of a Confederate battle flag from the dome of the State Capitol in Montgomery. In 1964 he represented Arlam Carr in a lawsuit against Montgomery's Board of Education that led to the desegregation of the city's public schools. In 1953, he was admitted to the Alabama State Bar, and opened his law office on Monroe Street in Montgomery. He stayed in Montgomery and continued to represent local African-Americans in civil rights cases.

Passar por um problema de saúde já é uma situação muito complexa, geralmente associada a vários custos com medicamentos, exames, dentre outros. Isso acontece muito com os aposentados e pensionistas do INSS. Para ajudar esse grupo de pessoas foi criada a Lei 7713/1988, que lista uma série de doenças que podem isentar o beneficiário da obrigação do IR. Alguma delas são: - Cegueira; - Alienação mental; - Doença de Parkinson; - Tuberculose ativa; - Neoplasia grave (câncer ou tumor maligno); - Hanseníase (antigamente conhecida como lepra); - Síndrome da deficiência imunológica adquirida (AIDS/HIV); - Esclerose múltipla (comorbidade que afeta a coordenação motora e a cognição); - Cardiopatia grave; - Entre outras. #alphaville #alphavillesp #alphaphialpha #carapicuiba #carapicuibaeregião #baruerieregiao #barueri #osascoeregião #osasco #santanadeparnaiba #jandira #jandiraeregiao #itapevi #itapevieregiao https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4bnoEOxd9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
