VERY iMPRESSIVE THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING jR LIBRARYLABRATORY HAS BEEN
ESTABLISHED. Never Say Never. What to Do, Add Pages to WikiPedia. Group
Photos' & Names, for One. Historical, Peoples, Socialogy & Statistics. Just
plain Old Photos & Recording, into WikiPedia, for Long Term Preserving.
ChinaTown At Night Is Great Photo Op. Success Stories of All Types.

Retail Areas, Government Locations, Neighborhoods. WaterFronts. old
Sections, New Developements, All come to mind. Safe City with Many
Opportunities for Media & Article Building. Interlinking Pages into Digital
Volumne for intrested. Interview Politicians. Noticed on FaceBook, Huge
Names, With Movies Made as Biography, H Marion Barry, NO Real Intrest from
public, yet Movie: 9 Lives of Marion Barry on Hulu shows Powerful & Dynamic
Leader. People Are Far Better Off, Yet Story of Most politicians Goes
UnStated. Hummmm,Subject Matter.
