Patricia Stephens Due Memorial Service Sunday, Feb. 19
Florida A&M University (FAMU) alumna Due died two weeks shy of the 52nd anniversary of her leading role in the student sit-ins in Tallahassee, Fla. in February 1960. As a 20-year-old college student and founding member of the local chapter of the inter-racial group Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Due, along with her sister, Priscilla, and three other FAMU students spent 49 days in jail rather than pay fines after being arrested for sitting at a Woolworth lunch-counter, launching the nation’s first “jail-in” during the civil rights movement.
The jail-in became one of the most powerful tactics used during the civil rights movement. While in jail, Due received a telegram from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stating: Going to jail for a righteous cause is a badge of honor and a symbol of dignity. I assure you that your valiant witness is one of the glowing epics of our time and you are bringing all of America [to] the threshold of the world’s bright tomorrows.
In 2006, FAMU bestowed upon her an honorary doctorate degree in humane letters recognizing her five decades of social activism. For Due, receiving the honorary doctorate was a tribute to all of the student foot soldiers who were not able to continue their educations.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made payable to the “John and Patricia Stephens Due Endowed Freedom Scholarship Fund” care of the Florida A&M University Foundation, Inc., Post Office Box 6562, Tallahassee, FL 32314-6562.

International Moving Services
International moving services handles a broad-range of services and have skill sets and knowledge above local and state-wide moves. Moving overseas requires a different type of moving services than would a local move.
When moving international, you must plan your move. You have to decide who is packing up your belonging. Decide to what extent you will be handling or the work of packing and boxing, or are you going to hand it off to the movers. All-inclusive moving services do it all for you. They give you an estimate after surveying your household goods that need to be moved and shipped. From there, they wrap and box each household item to be moved, and place in storage boxes or bins that are transport ready. They are responsible for getting your household to the port for shipping and loading; they handle all shipping paperwork and services. You can also get moving services that will handle all the complicated overseas shipping aspects and transport, but you do the actual packing of your belongings on your own. You’ll save money by packing yourself.
When you move over international waters, certain paperwork is required. When moving overseas you need a moving services company that specializes in this type of move to make sure all the boxes are checked. When you move overseas, each country has its own set of requirements as to entry and customs. Each country has its own laws in regards to moving pets into the country. Each country has its own laws regarding automobiles.
Great overseas moving services will make it possible for you to focus on the things that you need to do…the things that overseas moving services doesn’t do for you. Start searching online with “International moving services” or “shipping companies” and read about their moving services. Choose a reputable international mover who knows the drill and will make sure that all your furnishings and belongings have safe passage. They will ensure your belongings are insured.
It is still up to you to ensure passports and personal documentation is in order…just like you do when you travel. It is up to you to ensure work visas and other employment documentation is in order, as movers will not handle any such personal documentation. When moving overseas, your movers won’t take care of your personal paperwork.
When moving overseas, getting your pets there is up to you. International movers can certainly advise and assist you by giving you instructions or guidelines that you need to follow to safely move your pets, but arranging the pre-move and transportation of pets is up to you. Included in your overseas move, pets will need proper immunization as per your new destination’s requirements. You, and not the overseas moving services, will be responsible for arranging air-transport for your pet.
Choose carefully. The good movers will have a representative in your destination country to help you. These representatives will keep you apprised of your belonging’s status and location; assist in getting it to your new home. The ease of your international move depends on the quality of international moving services.
