"9"

It's intriguing Humanity is educated in reciting Old History. In a New Generation of Historic debates over accountabilities. And one day ALL children of color will read for their own understandings; to discover of what we labored in of this generation. 

Can we conclude "The North Star" was a direction told to the slaves to find freedom; follow the North Star, and was there really freedom at the end of the direction in which they were appointed; to freedom? The right answer lives in the memoirs of our current human concerns; of what has been written and provided to us in historic literature, if not movie lines of actors & actresses directed in of  “this is a better environment, than where we had to flee for our lives. In order to live as free black men, woman and children”.

We speak about police brutality; and the world screams in aggravation after "I can't breathe". We tap on black on black crime and the world tip toes on egg shells. We are well aware of the systemic profiling in racism; as our black people drive & walk home in their own neighborhoods. Until one day they are stopped and ask "what is your name, where are you going, and let me see your ID". And no every stop made is a reasonable justifiable cause. Although we do appreciate the public services in All neighborhoods; however a dress does not cover-up inequalities through intimidation is the real world world. As ALL children face a struggle in hardships with education & virtual schooling.

In a COVID-19 pandemic world. Which returns us ALL back to the pages of our past history. We continue in a struggle to accept the denial if not another generation of distress

 “The Little Rock Nine was a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas”.

We acknowledge the educators who sacrifice; from 4 text books per class of 29 children. Has it really been over 70 years since outlawed. And how is it possible in this generation that still faces; Equity Gaps in Housing segregation, Income In Equity, Mental & Health services are just a few in inequalities of our next generation of these children that will face it. If we don't deal with the domino affect of Racism/Systematic Prejudices.  

When I address who will lead our children; it applies to what we ourselves lack, choose not to educate & share, if not deny the Truth's of a conversation to speak on Equity in Education. That will determine their history moving forward of what we have accomplished in this generation. 

In Memory & Honor of all our colored children to equal education.
