Black History Month from Angelia Edwards 2nd Vice Chair

Being an Activist we understand that we stand on the back of greatness living in

treacherous times, I am reminded of a few who endured such these as times!

My sista activist Harriet Tubman said: I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed

a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves. We just witness this same

idiotic behavior with presidential elections of 2024. But let’s go a step further my

activist brother Dr. Martin Luther King whose name has being defamed in

unimaginable way’s stated We may have all come on different ships, but we're in

the same boat now, doesn’t matter if we are black or brown, woman, man boy or

girl if you are a foe of our president he has declare war on you as of January 20,

2025 and we see this with over 37 executive orders being signed as of 2pm today.

I understand that this has offered a lot of doom this far in our Black History tract

but this is our first time seeing these Jim Crowe antics in our history but lest not

forgot our first elect United States Black President Barack Obama continued to

gives us the message that Hope is not a blind optimism. It is not ignoring the

enormity of the task ahead of the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting

on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists.

despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have

the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it. Hope is the belief

that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are

not content should be. Remembering the words of the first South African Black

president Nelson Mandela in the midst of apartheid boldly proclaimed to deny

people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity, and was willing to

be jailed for his beliefs alongside my dear sister Rosa Parks who stated knowing

what must be done does away with fear and makes us know that in times like

these we are BLACK HISTORY! Because our rights are being challenged to take us

back to 1960’s and the civil rights era to where you either do like Congresswoman

Jasmine Crockett said with all that sauce Get a Backbone and go to work or watch

them challenge our birthright citizenship! Our History is continuing to unfold…….
