With Unity, Hope and Peace at the Helm

" The March on Washington" 

must continue through the 21st Century

with that same message firmly

grounded in those inalienable

rights that should justly

extend to all Americans:

"jobs, freedom and equal rights!"

None can deny the fact that the majority

of African-Americans (as a people of

"post-Slavery") have long been

overlooked, set aside and

disadvantaged by means of

"INSTITUTIONALIZED

DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES."

Since the 13th Amendment abolished slavery

in the United States (December 6, 1865),

 a host of preferenced individuals and

groups from Around the World

increasingly continue to gather

in the 'melting pot of diversity'

with secured advantages

orchestrated to enjoy

"The American Way of Life." 

 

While scores of newcomers seeking 

to "live the American dream" are extended privileged pathways 

paved with means

and opportunities that enable

a foundation upon which a far 

more favorable and prosperous

quality of life can be pursued

and sustained, "African-

Americans" are yet 

treated (rather, mis-treated) like

second-class Citizens of no importance.

Such unjust practices MUST END!

 REMINDER:

'Voting rights' granted to the

"Descendants of Slaves"

for the purpose of

participation in the 'political' 

process DOES NOT mask the

"continued enslavement"

of the majority of "African-

Americans" who are yet

subjected to systemic

oppressions by an 

array of institutionalized

INJUSTICES.

The city of Jacksonville, Florida, is reeling from

the "racist killing" of three Black citizens

at a store in a historically Black

neighborhood with weapons

emblazoned with

[Nazi] swastikas.

Is this a "Crime Against Humanity?"

DOLLAR GENERAL SHOOTING 1ab.jpg

YES! A heinous, hate-filled crime indeed!

FLORIDA DOLLAR GENERAL SHOOTING 8.27.2023 1ab.webp

Deepest Condolences for "Loved Ones"

lost when each precious, "life-filled 

Soul" should be vibrantly

flourishing!

Now, instead of the vibrancy of life, deep 

mourning and heartfelt grief because

of 'racial, hate-filled'

lawless gun violence yet not silenced!

More than 60 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

embarked upon his historic, arduous and

non-violent journey known as the 

"Civil Rights Movement" 

to abolish legalized 

racial segregation, 

discrimination, and 

disenfranchisement - all

wrongful injustices "institutionally" 

upheld against the "post-Slavery" 

people of African descent.

 

As "The March on Washington" for

"jobs, freedom and equal rights"

celebrates its 60th Anniversary,

all Citizens should be reminded

that the famous "March" is

yet a work in progress as

THE SPECTRE OF RACIAL HATRED AND

INSTITUTIONALIZED INJUSTICES

CONTINUE TO TAKE CENTER

STAGE THROUGHOUT THE 

GREATEST NATION ON EARTH.

MARCH ON WASHINGTON 30ab.jpg

May the "True Citizenry of The People We" who "dare to care"

boldly cross every color line and man-made barrier which

divide as "The March Continues" upon that "path of

peaceful non-violence" that Dr. King 

demonstrated to the Whole World!

Never forget that . . . "The True Citizenry of We the People"

is in reality "The True Citizenry of Humanity!"
