The Jessie Jackson celebration brought to the surface, unity, spirituality, cultural closeness, and a rainbow coalition. We never expected the "The Racist in Chief" to attend. If you did not leave feeling hope and self-pride, then you missed the message. RIP Jessie 🙏
Reverend Al Sharpton!
Introduced as the greatest Governor in these United States, Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois. I agree.
Absolutely! 👏👏👏
African American Quotes;
"When I liberate myself, I liberate others. If you don't speak out ain't nobody going to speak out for you."

Here's hoping that Jasmine Crockett maintains that fire in her next endeavor as her voice is needed in today's political arena.
Finally, on this day in 1857 SCOTUS ruled on the "Dred Scott" decision, stating that African Americans cannot be US citizens.
This controversial decision was a precursor for Lincoln's "Emancipation Proclomation" and the Civil War which gave us that right to citizenship.
Also, on this day in 1836 we remember the "Battle of the Alamo" where Mexican soldiers overpowered the Texan defenders inclusive of Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Travis.
Good Morning; On this day in 1831, Edgar Allen Poe was court martialed and dismissed from West Point Military Academy for neglect of duty and disobedience.
Poe followed his own path to become a renowned writer as we all know.
Good Morning Martha. Have a great day. 💕
Have a great evening Martha. 💕
So I understand that Kristi Noem is out? Guess 47 wouldn't hold her up? Let's hope we get a more intelligent individual to run DHS?
For the Texas Democratic voters; what were you thinking?
"Don't aspire to make a living, make a difference."

Today will be the last public Home Going celebration for Reverend Jessie Jackson Sr. Services will be held at "The House of Hope" a huge mega church on the Southside of Chicago.
People will remember his world-wide contribution to life and humanity while fighting for fairness and dignity. 🙏
Finally, on this day in 1960, Elvis Presley ends his 2 years of service in the US Milatary.
So, the "King" served without finding excuses to avoid going into the military but "The Wannabe King" used the excuse of bone spurs while he sends innocent young men and women into harms way today!
Also, on this day in 1858, Abolitionist establishes "Crispus Attucks Day" in Boston.
Abolitionist resided heavily in Massachusetts during the 19th century and was a state of Freed Slaves.
Over the years, what went wrong?
Good Morning; On this day in 1770, "The Boston Masacre" happens when British soldiers kill 5 American men .African American Crispus Attucks is the 1st to die for the cause becoming an early Black martyr.
Nice balanced squad and likeable.
Congratulations to the MIST on their Unrivaled Championship. What an entertaining final.
Great as always, have a fantastic day my beautiful friend. 💕
One more? On this day in 1965, following the Selma to Montgomery marches the calls for the Voting Rights Act intensified.
Here we are again today pushing that same apple cart as "The John Louis Voting Rights Act" is not gaining traction. One only needs to look at the Texas primary and feel its need
Finally, on this day in 1968, Joe Frazier wins his 20th bout with no defeats and captures the vacant Heavyweight title over Buster Mathis in 11 rounds.
RIP Champ. 🙏
Also, on this day in 1968, Martin Luther King Junior announces his plans for the
"Poor People's Campaign." Today, I believe it is operated by Reverend Barber?
Good Morning; On this day in 1789, the first US Congress meets and declares the Constitution in effect with 9 Senators and 13 Represntatives.
GOP was once the party of morals and Christianity now its the party of despicables
So we have shenanigans going on in Dallas County. They are now not extending the voting hours as the Texas Supreme Court has ruled. Voting suppression in major cities of color should be prepared for this come November. They will do their best to disenfranchise the Black vote!
Jasmine Crockett will need at least 75,000 votes from Dallas County to try and pull this off.
Happy Tuesday Martha. Stay well and in good spirits. 💕
No doubt.
What's even sadder is that the Wizzard thinks that we can't see him pulling the strings behind the curtains while he orchestrates the ultimate deflection mode. Maybe if we click our heels 2 times and awaken to a dream? Nah!
