The strong and staunch civil rights champion. It is good to see the progress and that America still has a long way to reckon with its past, to claim it, and know that until the Negros are free, it will not be. It will not be able to sleep at night.
The peace and security of black people are what secures America’s fate. And until it can do that, it remains a disillusioned state and one that has not lived up to its potential.
I love BLM, they should keep it up. The fight for justice for humanness for black people is a long one. I want you all to know that I am rooting for you and that one day this too shall pass.
Stand strong, stay steady, and keep the fight going. Blessing to all my childrens, to dem children for we cannot rest until freedom rings loudly for us colored folks.
