Missing since early Tuesday 05.29.12 morning. Marisa is a 15 year old biracial young woman. She is 5-5 to 5-7 and about 135lbs. Marisa ran away from home in the early hours of the morning mentioning in her letter that she was going to Cali. She currently attends Atlantic Coast High School and takes all honors and AP classes. Marisa is in a very depressed state of mind and we are all worried. If you see her or hear from her please let us know. I just want to know she is safe and I want her home
the letter just said Cali, thinking L.A. but dont know, she took all her clothes except her softball uniforms and practice gear, she also took her school books with her at least the ones she had at the house.. as far as we know she had $10 and what ever change she had in her 5 gallon piggy bank she also took her Gravity Long Board (a stretched skateboard) last thing I saw her wearing was dark blue shorts and one of her softball tournament shirts but she probably changed before leaving she also has her tan colored pillow pet… Thanks for any help
Hateful to me as are the gates of hell, is he who, hiding one thing in his heart, utters another

Yuri Kochiyama is a Japanese American human rights activist, but often remembered for her work in The Black Panther Party.
In 1960, Kochiyama and her spouse moved to Harlem in New York City and joined the Harlem Parents Committee. She became acquainted with Malcolm X and was a member of his Organization of Afro-American Unity. She was also present at Malcolm X’s assassination on February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, and held him in her arms as he lay dying.
In 1977, Kochiyama joined the group of Puerto Ricans that took over the Statue of Liberty to draw attention to the struggle for Puerto Rican independence.
Over the years, Kochiyama has dedicated herself to various causes, such as the rights of political prisoners, freeing Mumia Abu-Jamal, nuclear disarmament, and reparations to Japanese Americans who were interned during the war.
In 2005, Kochiyama was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize through the “1,000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize 2005” project.
George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower (ca. 1780-1860) was an Afro-Polish classical violinist and composer. He was a child prodigy and made his debut in Paris around age 9 and that same year would perform in 3 cities in England, one of which King George III attended and praised Bridgetower’s skills. At age 11 the Prince of Wales placed him under his patronage and further educated Bridgetower; he would serve as the prince’s orchestra’s first violinist for 14 years and performed in many concert tours all around Europe. During an 1803 concert tour he would meet Beethoven, who was highly impressed by his playing and came to admire him greatly. Bridgetower and Beethoven would soon perform together, and Beethoven originally dedicated his Violin Sonata No. 9 to Bridgetower. In 1811, he graduated from Cambridge with a Bachelor of Music degree and would join several music societies including the Royal Philharmonic Society.
