HEY, EVERYBODY!
IT IS JUNETEENTH SEASON.
MPA LLC SENDS THIS
FIRST OF MANY MESSAGES THE NEXT 15 DAYS.
IT IS THE SEASON TO
REMEMBER A TIME "WE SHOULD VISIT" TO REMEMBER FOR/FROM WHENCE WE CAME
- AFRICAN AMERICANS AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO PARTICIPATED DURING THAT TIME.
FOR YOU AFRICAN AMERICANS,
IT IS TAKING THE SWEET JUICE OF SUCCESS THAT WAS SNATCHED FROM THE SLAVE OWNERS
BACK THEN - AND REMEMBERING YOU MUST DO THE SAME TODAY - YES. TODAY - AND IS STILL BEING REALIZED BY THOSE
OF US THAT KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS - AND WILLING TO SHARE WITH THOSE WHO KNOW NOT
- WHETHER THEY CARE TO KNOW OR NOT.
CAN YOU IMAGINE
HOW OUR ANCESTORS - REAL FOUNDING FATHERS AND MOTHERS FELT WHEN THEY WERE GIVEN
THE NEWS OF "FREEDOM". I WOULD IMAGE IT WAS A MIXTURE OF GLEE
AND MUCH FEAR - TO HORROR. DEPENDING ON
WHAT PLANTATION - FARM THEY WERE ON. CAN
YOU IMAGINE THE MOTHERS AND FATHERS, WONDERING WHERE THEIR "SOLD"
CHILDREN WERE - AND WONDERING IF THEY WOULD EVER SEE THEM AGAIN.
CHECK IT OUT. YOU FIND A WEBSITE - TEXT OR YOUTUBE – AND LISTEN
AND/OR READ ABOUT J U N E T E E N T H.
I WILL BE BACK.
EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION
- STILL BEING REALIZED.
Mary Glass - 70
years young and I remember - I remember my training of history - I remember
living through the SEGREGATION DOWN SOUTH IN TENNESSEE - HEARING ABOUT OUR
BLACK MEN BEING LYNCHED, BEATEN AND DISRESPECTED - SOUNDS LIKE TODAY.
SO, I REJOICE IN
KNOWING NO MATTER
WHAT MY FOREHONOREES WENT THROUGH - THEY ROSE - THEY ROSE BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
THEREFORE, I DARE NOT FORGET - AND I WANT LET YOU FORGET.
IT IS
JUNETEENTH SEASON.
