We pay
homage to a great a man who embraced an entire nation with an abundance of
patience, passion and persistence. One who fought against “bondage” which is
not a choice in any controlled environment and if you look closer into who held
the front line you will find some women and men of Ivory descent who also took the
water hose and beatings with sticks for taking a united stand to end “a prejudice
system”.
Let all
nations remember the purpose for the dream and who fought for freedom and peace
so that men of all nations would find equality. One day a mother gave birth to
a child who had a dream but who would have known this seed that grew inside of
her wound would change the way we see and live in humanity. Let all nations not
forget Freedom Land.
"A man can't ride your back unless it is BENT".

Colored folks wanted a better life in the midst of master’s thoughts and rations. Colored folks became the owner’s property and worked under controlled observation. And in the midst of our tortured history we look back to remember the African American struggles throughout American History to change the face and systems in a nation of controlled slavery, from existing in our current legacy.

liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.

“Green Flake, Hark Lay and Oscar Crosby the
first slaves honored in Utah were colored servants the original pioneers of
1847”.
Education
was streamlined against the slaves to see what they could learn and children were segregated due to the color of their skin. And because of Black
History we pay honor to Booker T. Washington the founder of Tuskegee University.
On one
ride Rosa Parks was a voice in prejudice times to teach throughout history how to
respect one another black or white to a non prejudice bus ride.
African
America History embraces it's heritage not just because of its brutal past that made courage and strength in places to not ever again be broken in this free land. The slaves in return contributed a legacy of blackness for all nations to learn from:
leadership, dancers, actors and actresses, educators, musicians, pilots, writers, innovators,
visionaries, doctors, lawyers and civil rights activist that will not lose its
place in American History’s legacy because of a resilient people and a leader to whom we forever
will pay Homage to. In a continuing fight of living the dream initiated Dr.
Martin Luther King.
