Social Media and the Law of Three - Ramon's Blog: Evolve or Die:
But back to the Law of Threes, because Jobs wasn’t the only person of note to pass away yesterday, and thanks to Social Media, I don’t have to be left in the dark. Surprising as it may be, not EVERYONE knew who Steve Jobs was. My own wife, God bless her soul, wasn’t sure who Steve Jobs was, meanwhile, I practically worship the guy and have based my career on using his inventions. By the same token, not EVERYONE knew who the Rev. Shuttlesworth was, nor who Mr. Derrick Bell was. Actually, some people found Rev. Shuttlesworth death, or even Derrick Bell’s death to be more significant than Job’s passing. But can you really measure how ‘significant’ a man’s death is by the legacy he left behind? I went and clicked some of these other links, and learned that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once called Shuttlesworth, "the most courageous civil rights fighter in the South." I also went onto learn that in 1957 Shuttlesworth was beaten with chains and whips as he sought to integrate an all-white public school. He also participated in organizing the Freedom Rides against segregated interstate buses in the South when he joined forces with the Congress On Racial Equality
