In times like these, seen TOO MANY TIMES in the history of America, racism and injustice against Black Americans in our country still perpetuate our struggle for equality and justice. A united effort will give us the strength to keep fighting until we OVERCOME.
We stand on the shoulders of 400-years of enslaved, persecuted Blacks who endured unimaginable atrocities, suffering and dying without a voice, without dignity, without freedom. Black labor built this country and made America “Great” while those who toiled hoped—century after century—for a better future for their children.
In solidarity with those seeking JUSTICE FOR GEORGE FLOYD and the countless victims of racism, injustice and systemic violence, I kneel and pray for the families and loved ones whose lives have been devastated. I send prayers to those at home, angry, frustrated, disgusted, heartbroken, and those who are courageously standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the front lines of protests across the world.
I admonish our American leaders to take a stand and speak out against the injustices Black Americans continue to face in this country.
As a direct descendent of an enslaved Black man who was bought, sold, and bred out to produce even more slaves for his master, I refuse to remain silent or stand idly by watching my Black brothers and sisters suffer.
The system has to change. As such, I am donating funds to this organization and encourage you to do the same by clicking this LINK.
In the meantime be safe, stay vigilant.
In Power,
