The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, once told
us to heal the world, but Americans turned a deaf ear. The first Black
President of America, President Obama, just made his first official trip to the
Slave Castles of Ghana in Africa, but Americans ignored it. Now, a celebrated
Black Scholar, Professor Gates, of Harvard is arrested in his home by a White
police, Sgt. Crowley, for demanding his right in the land of freedom.
Many Blacks are calling for a law suit,
many Whites are calling Gates an elitist who provoked the officer, Gates demand
an apology, but Crowley says never. These reactions are obvious evidence that
racism, the American cancer, is still eating at the soul of America in 2009. We
have tried the civil rights movement, participated in city riots, elected a
Black President, have Black millionaires, but the cancer of America still
continues to be a proud heritage of economic inequality. What must America do
to unify our great nation?
In December 2007, the Paul Bogle Foundation
and Edofolks.com planned the first "African Slavery and Holocaust Memorial" for
October 19, 2008 to unify Americans by killing the cancer that hinders American
progress. The goal was to light at least 1000 candles in Atlanta, Washington DC,
and the United Nations every October. President Bush, Julian Bond (NAACP),
Louis Farrakhan (NOI), Al. Sharpton (NAN), Rev. Jesse Jackson, Darrell Elligan (CBC),
Mayor Shirley Franklin (ATL), Speaker Pelosi, Rev. Joseph Lowery, and Charles
Steele (SCLC) all turned down our invitation. Only Senator Chambliss (GA) and
Mayor Fenty (DC) made an attempt to attend. Almost all members of the Senate
received an invitation and I believe this is one of the reasons why the congress
eventually apologized for Slavery in July 2008. The event was successfully
covered by the Washington Times and CBS, and many foreigners attended the
Washington DC event (see YouTube).
Since the government and the courts have
reject the necessity to heal racism legally by eliminating the utilization of
old slave laws in our courts today, I am calling on Professor Gates and Sgt.
Crowley to lead the unification of America. Since history and destiny has
brought them together, they should agree on behalf of their service to their
countrymen to light a candle at the event in Boston at 6:00PM on Sunday, October
18, 2009. Every other citizen will light their candles at 6:05PM at their
State Capitol Building on that day across the nation. This is a celebration that
must be done annually to commemorate and stand against the continuous effects of
slavery and racism that still plagues America today.
I believe the flames of at least 1000
candles at 6:00PM every October beside all 50 State Capitol Buildings will send
a message to all Americans and the world that Americans are not only serious
about democracy, freedom, and equality, but are also determined to practice our
values in our law enforcement, our courts, and our daily lives. Professor Gates
and Sgt. Crowley should inform America if they are interested in participating
in the healing and unification of America on Sunday, October 18, 2009.
