A Joyful Christmas

Anglican Priest No "O Little Town of Bethlehem”

By HRM Deborah

Anglican priest named Reverend Stephen Coulter, vicar in Blandford Forum in Dorset, England resounded his opinion of life in modern Bethlehem due to the apparent high security to protect Christians, Jews and Muslims from being attacked; which is a bit ironic due to the Christmas story of over two thousands years ago.

During the war I will admit I did not on this instance think of logistics‘, which in actuality if one thinks about it is actually very profound.

In the time period that Jesus was born, the country was under occupation by the Romans and the tyrannical thumb of Herod the great, to further being a time of extreme hardships for the citizens of Palestine, let alone Bethlehem.

As the Christmas story unfolds, Joseph was to take his family to the city of his kinship Bethlehem for a census so that the Roman Army could have stronger control and had a count of how many people was actually citizens of the country; so this is how this particular family and many other's came to be in this city in number at all.

Then when the birth of this child came within Christian tradition a stable, which to my memory is in modern times termed a grotto; nevertheless, the child is born to very happy parents.

Then we have a visit by the three wise men of the East baring gifts termed to be of great value for the child and also a coming of Palestinian Shepherd’s from the fields; not Canaanite for even in this time they bore Allah”s (G-d‘s) curse. It would be just as easy in Jesus’ time to modern times, for these two set of people to enter Bethlehem and what is more profound they would have been safer from Herod, then the time they actually lived and furthermore; this goes with the Prophet Jesus because through Herod’s jealously, chances are he would have been more safe from harm, because the army that not only came to attack him, but murder all Jewish children from two years down with there mother’s wouldn’t have occurred; for the armies wouldn’t have entered the city, but have been held back by the military of Palestine.

So if one thinks of the instances of the two time period’s, in our more modern time’s with the security measures, all three religions have such a greater of opportunity of safety than what occurred when the birth of Prophet Jesus occurred.

As to the Anglican priest, in Prophet Jesus time especially he may had trouble’s being in Bethlehem due to the fact people such as himself did not exist yet and due to the fact someone from England in this time period would have been very interesting, to no disrespect a bit of an oddity to even see.

Nevertheless, the three wise men and the shepherd’s would have an easier time entering the city then Anglican priest Reverend Stephen Coulter with his not wishing people to sing this year "O Little Town of Bethlehem.”

All Christians should have a joyful Christmas without the politics of the time, for this is what should enter not.

Criminal Illegal Abbas's Empty Threats

by HRM Deborah

Global terrorist, Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas is making empty threats towards the populace of Palestine, for he has no legal capacity to initiate anything concerning government or any other capacity in Palestine especially since Abbas is not a citizen; but a criminal illegal in the country.

So Abbas’s threats about early elections or any other rabbit he thinks he has hidden in his shirt, means absolutely nothing.

The main thing Abbas need’s to be concerned most heatedly now, is his removal from the country along with the other criminal illegal Canaanites and as to listening to his threats towards his current illegal activities will be treated just as high crimes and strong actions will be taken towards him as a common criminal terrorist goon; as well as the rest of his terrorist organization.

It is a well known fact that there is not such thing as elections or unity talks with illegal criminal's in Palestine nor these other idea’s that Abbas’s keeps playing within his own crazed mind.

The bottom line is Abbas shut-up, get out of Palestine.

Nevertheless, it should be understood that Palestine is no longer cut-up like a three piece pie, it is one single country. For a little time now, there has been no occupied areas or territories, formally called West Bank or Gaza Strip, the bulk of the country is unified with a populace of very happy people made up of the three major religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity; excluding criminal illegal‘s within the country who are bent on nothing but stealing, lying, murder, terrorism etc; with there Canaanite leader known as Global terrorist, Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas.

Also, the only group calling themselves by any name is Abbas’s terrorist organization of either PLO, Fatah and like; there is no such group with the name of Hamas anywhere in Palestine, these people do not exist. The only people in Palestine are true Palestinians, which include Christians, Muslims, Jews (Biblical or Tanach Israeli), Samaritans; for example.

As to our economy, we are doing very good with the ever increasing of employment, housing, tourism, commodities etc.; that the US for example, is in the water well going deeper by the day with no forth coming light towards there future.

Join Our Nation United in Prayer -- Nov. 3rd Election Eve at 3pm

This day of prayer is actually non-denominational and should be considered something everyone should take the time to do, because God does make a difference and we need Him now more then ever before.

So if you’re Muslim, Jewish, Christian or what ever one may be; please do not forget to pray 3 November for the betterment of not just the country, but its future; to include who will be the next president of the US.

All American’s deserve a country that is actually livable and free from oppression, slavery, immorality, poverty, too sorrow; which instead of God being angry, too one He would be happy to see. For when God is happy, mankind prospers and a good taste of Paradise can actually be seen on earth. -HRM Deborah

DALLAS, Nov. 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- Christian-based organizations throughout the country are inviting the entire country to unite for 3 PM National Prayer on Election Eve, Monday, November 3rd, 2008, with the purpose of praying for repentance and God's Mercy, as we vote to select the next President of the United States of America. Pastor Mark Gonzalez, The Call Board Member and Latino Outreach Director says, "People are crying out for change, rather than crying out for Mercy! What God is asking us is to pray, "Father, Have mercy. God have mercy on America!"

On Monday, November 3rd, there will be 24 hours of continuous prayer in our country, with special prayers asking for God's Mercy prayers at 3 PM. These prayers are suggested to take place in all churches in the United States, at a time most convenient for each church. Church leadership is encouraged to invite youth and young adults to take active roles in this national prayer day to bolster the participation of young people. Hospital and home-bound individuals are also encouraged to participate.

Michael DePrimo, spokesperson for American Family Association, Inc., said, "Fifty years ago America distinguished right from wrong by looking at what God said was right and wrong. Not anymore. Today we do what is right in our own eyes. We therefore are morally blind as a nation, unable to see that we our destroying ourselves and our children."

DePrimo adds, "Our descent into spiritual darkness began in the early 1960's when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Bible reading and prayer in public schools were unconstitutional. A few years later the High Court tossed out the Ten Commandments. Then came the constitutional rights to kill babies through abortion, to possess and distribute hardcore pornography, and to engage in every manner of deviant sexual conduct. And now courts are declaring that homosexual marriage is constitutionally protected. These court decisions reflect the pitiful state of our national soul. Our only hope for national renewal is to cry out to God for mercy and to ask Him to change the heart of the American people one by one. This is a call to prayer. A call to repentance. That's the only thing that will save our country. And time is running out."

Eduardo Verastegui, actor, producer, singer and star of the award-winning 2007 movie "Bella," who recently produced a graphic video about the truth of abortion (www.DuraRealidad.com) said our country needs prayer to stop abortions, "As a Latino, I was also shocked to learn that most abortion centers are located in neighborhoods where Hispanics and minorities live. It broke my heart when I discovered that more than 650 Latino babies are killed every day by abortion in the US. We need to put an end to abortion – and political candidates play a very important role in this matter."

EHTV Esperanza-Hope Entertainment President, Suzette Chaires says, "Let's get on our knees, especially on Monday, Election Eve. And, let's keep it going." Chaires adds, "This is a call to prayer for all; it is a call to all churches to hold times of prayer or candlelight prayer vigils. All people of faith are encouraged to join us in this prayer asking for God's mercy. This is a unique and important opportunity in the history of the United States of America to bring our country back to God, and ask Him to give us a fresh start. (Lamentations 5:21). In this election, so crucial for our children – and our children's children – let's unite to pray! It will make a tremendous difference in the lives of all Americans – and our entire country."

A Pakistani Man Carries Belongings through Earthquake Rubble

A man carries his belongings through the rubble of his house after an earthquake in Balochistan, Pakistan; on 31 October 2008.

This particular earthquake untold thousands are displaced and the death toll at this time is 300.

By certain people, this earthquake is being considered apart of the upheaval that is affecting the whole earth. Which this is just one the many events that have been foretold in prophesy; to not just Islam, but Judaism and Christianity.

As to why this particular area in Pakistan received this earthquake, I only have a theory of cause; which nevertheless, something of this manner is very sad to me.

Bullying powers near collapse: Ahmadinejad

30 October 2008

Tehran-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday that bullying powers are on the verge of collapse as they are hated by the world nations.

"All nations are looking for a new way as they lost their hope on big powers," said the president who is currently in Lorestan province in western Iran.

Addressing a meeting with provincial ulema and clergymen, he said that the present situation "is a great chance to introduce pure Islamic thoughts and ideals as well as Iran's Islamic Revolution." Stressing the need for implementing justice in an Islamic system, the president said promotion of justice in the society was a major priority of his government.

President Ahmadinejad and his cabinet members arrived in the provincial capital of Khorramabad, Wednesday on the second round of his provincial tours to follow up implementation of the projects that had been approved during the first round of his provincial visits which began since he took office in 2005.

Commentary:

What the world is seeing is changes that such as this to last occur, was about 1437 years ago or usually when a Prophet appears, nevertheless, while the changes are not small things; but rather changes which affect every element from economy to society even to the smallest thread, which something with such momentum as this, only comes by Allah (God) himself.

While one could elaborate on the different changes, things such as this could be more found in writings from the Quran, to the Torah, to even the Christian Bible; it is this profound.

Mankind is in a time when Allah (God) as to what it is written in prophesies, before He is finished; no stone will be the same ever again. This also comes at a time when the armies of light and darkness are in numerous heated battles, for the sake of mankind; which is considered as numerous end of time events.

This also reminds of something I read the day before yesterday and was able to finish yesterday, about the Prophet Jesus (PBUH) mentioning two Prophets at the end of time. I first started reading on this from the Quran, which took me of all places to the Christian Bible, while the Christian part was mistranslated into English; I was still able to get the understanding which was assured meant to be conveyed.

The mistranslation part as I think came about because of the past that all the previous Prophets where men and it is sure that people would have a hard understanding that the first Prophet at the end of time is a woman and the only name given for her is Deborahor while she has this name is sometimes conveyed by her attributes.

Bushonomics Poll: President Bush should cancel White House Christmas parties

17 October 2008
By PAUL BEDARD

In our latest Washington Whispers poll, Americans seem to be voicing their anger with the plight of the economy and the huge Dow drop that's impacting their 401(k)'s.

This week, we asked what one symbolic move President Bush could make to show that he understands the hard financial choices Americans have to face every day.

And the top answer: Cancel the lavish annual Christmas parties.

That, of course, isn't going to happen, but your voice is being heard.

The next choice: Ground Air Force One.

Fortunately, though, our polling sample had a heart when it came to the First Pups. Asked if the president should shift dog foods to a cheaper brand, only 3 percent said that Barney and Miss Beasley should go on Wal-Mart's Ol' Roy.

The Whispers Poll

In these economically challenging times, what one symbolic move could President Bush make in the White House to show that he understands the hard financial choices Americans have to make every day?

Cancel lavish annual Christmas parties 49%

Ground Air Force One 25%

Pump his own gasoline 12%

Open a West Wing soup kitchen 10%

Put his dogs on Wal-Mart's Ol' Roy food 3%

Source: The Synovate eNation Internet poll was conducted October 9-13 among 1,000 nationally representative households by global market research firm Synovate.

Commentary:
When one starts seeing economic type polls such as this one especially geared towards US President George W. Bush and his history of lavish spending, it is a sign of the sad state of affairs for a country.

If one takes a few minutes to look out there door in the US, one can see the economic rabid breakdown; to the step by step suffering of the American people.

Yesterday I went to the market, while people where having to be so careful what they purchased it seemed because of cost, it was heartbreaking seeing people giving back things to a clerk because they could not afford them. Like one American mother with twins, wishing to buy an educational gift for her children and had to say no; because of the cost of the gift or food, to feed her family which included two more children.

A Muslim Woman for US President?

By HRM Deborah

Being a political hostage in what can be termed a foreign country for lack of a better definition and what makes it interesting that I was born into this situation makes for an unusual situation to say the least towards my status of what I can and can not do.

For one from my understanding, with the November elections coming, I am not allowed to vote because of being considered a Palestinian National, let alone a diplomat of a foreign country, namely Palestine. Which apparently with this coming election has made a down turned sigh for many Americans, who wish I could vote and more.

While I have never campaigned for an office, for as far as my home country is concerned it is not acceptable or necessary, but to have Americans by and overwhelming margin wish I could or would have, is so very kind.

As far as I know from history, the office of a president has always been Christian and as far as I know the criteria that they have to be a US citizen. The only acceptation I know of and I always thought, was Roman Catholicism was Christianity; nevertheless I still remember what was said when John F. Kennedy became president.

While in the history too of the US, one woman ran for president and lost, to now one running for vice president with what some term as very questionable background.

For so many Americans to think so kind of me is also interesting not just because of me being a woman, but the fact I am not Christian, but Muslim and I can still remember too remarks many years ago about a person from the Jewish religion wishing to run for the office of president and many Americans with a bit of a noise said, no.

What many American’s seem to being looking for in this particular US election, is a person that would honestly care about them, that has impeccable integrity and would actually be honest, like some people use to say about Abraham Lincoln, with him having the nickname of “honest Abe,” and this is just a few examples for an idea; for it seems Americans no longer find many of there politicians especially with the two current ones, of Sen.’s John McCain and Barack Obama to fit there ideal bill as presidential material; to even the extreme souring of there current US President.

As for Americans wishing to know my situation towards this coming election, this I hope would more answer the numerous questions and I do hope they find one day a person that fit’s what they truly wish for this particular elected office.

Furthermore, I am very flattered and grateful that some many people would hold me in such high esteem.

Christian Church Property Law and other Deed Claims

By HRM Deborah

There has been a question of Christian Churches ownership to land that not only houses there churches, but in retrospect of there claims of ownership to other properties or certain other land ownerships.

Actually, the original law and it is still the law today, of any Christian churches, is they do not have outright ownership of any properties in Palestine; but old agreements, that only pertain to church building property and they can not claim ownership of other properties as valid.

These church building agreements could be voided at any time, if any of the Churches did not respect the Jewish and Muslim Palestinian populace or committed any criminal activities within the country.

As to those that claim to have deeds issued by the terrorist organization that has called themselves, “Palestinian Authority,” these are all illegal documents and are not valid in any part lawfully within any manner, in Palestine nor have they ever been valid.

All property in Palestine actually is in ownership of the Palestine Royal family in a form of trust; to not only protect the country itself, but the two religions of Judaism and Islam for their longevity.

"Holy War Against the Infidels"

This crusade would be the first of nine total crusades that Christians would carry out as they attempted to control Palestine.

Many in the West mistakenly equate the word Jihad, to mean "Holy War against the infidels" or war against non-Muslims.

Where did this concept come from if it is foreign to Islam, the following is a Medieval definition pertaining to the Crusades.

Crusade
A holy war, utilizing the CROSS as a rallying symbol. From the eleventh through thirteenth centuries, each crusade was a military foray to recapture Jerusalem from the infidels or to surpass local heresy such as the Albigensian*; or to fight against Muslims in Spain or Prussian heathen in Eastern Europe.

So the idea of a "Holy War against the infidels," is a Medieval Christian concept; not one from Islam nor has it ever been, but rather, an early version of Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism or conquest against Muslims.

Less we also not forget that many Jews where living in Palestine at this time, that they too where being subjected to slaughter; by the Crusaders, the same as Muslims.

*Albigensian (definition): Christian religious group in southern France during the 12th and 13th centuries. They believed that everything in the material world is evil.

No Religious Persecution in Palestine

A Jewish woman walks towards an army base in the city of Hebron, where she lives with her family, on 30 July 2008.

by HRM Deborah

I am hearing anti-semantic remarks and I do not care if it is coming from within Palestine or from outside the country towards Palestine, it is not acceptable; for we will not have any form of religious persecution or racism in any form, in or towards Palestine or her citizens.

For example, if one happened to be the only Christian in a country, they have the right to be just that, a Christian in that country.

For Palestine is a predominate Semitic country and has been for thousands of years, with regards to three major monotheistic religions within this country and Allah willing, it will remain so for many more thousands of years; without anyone being subjected to any kind of insufferable mistreatment.

What some people may not realize when they make an anti-semantic remark thinking it is just a manner to insult just the Jewish people, but to the contrary; the Arab Palestinians are also Semantic and just happen to be of the Islamic faith. Then you have Christians in the country, which also happen to be of Semantic ancestry.

So my idea of thinking, when anyone makes an anti-semantic slur, they are insulting a lot of people from more then one religion; gives one something to chew on.

Furthermore, the only problem I have ever had, is some political ideology that hurts people instead of help them.

I am thinking someone is going to make a remark about the Canaanites, they have never actually had citizenship in Palestine for about the 9,000 years they have been in the country; if even they may try to make people think, otherwise and up to our modern times they have always been, even when people over the centuries had tried to make better for them; they are still just the same people who have tried to steal a host country, rob the country, murder and so forth all the time they have been in Palestine.

Just in our modern times, they finally got a label for these century old type of crimes, calling it Terrorism and as for religious belief’s, they have always been considered idolaters, because the first idols in Palestine came from them and religion is a mark on a shirt sleeve; as verified with historical facts.

Nevertheless, if my memory serves me correctly, they are also the only people in Palestine that is not Semantic in origin.

As far as consideration on racism, this is also not a factor in this case, because it also has been recorded with historical facts; that the Canaanites have always been condemned by Allah (God) for there numerous crimes and insults towards Him.

The Canaanite’s 9,000 years of Attempted Theft of a Country

Palestinian security forces with Palestine legal government (R) disperse demonstrators from Hizb al-Tahrir, a non-citizen Canaanite political movement that calls for the theft of Palestine to create a Canaanite state in the Middle East, who were also protesting that the illegal terrorist organization of the Palestinian Authority under the global terrorist, Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas; that he had to be the leader of this illegal new state, on 29 July 2008 in the city of Hebron.

Palestinian security forces with Palestine legal government(R) dispersing non-citizen Canaanite female demonstrators from Hizb al-Tahrir.

It is understood through historical documentation, the Canaanite’s acted in this similar manner when they where ousted out of the country that later became known as Turkey and later was not seen by the then Queen of Palestine, when she saw these people wandering the countryside and offered to help them; against what later became against her better judgment.

For 9,000 years and many events which are also historically recorded, that the Canaanite people have diligently been trying to murder all non-Canaanite people and steal the whole country of Palestine.

Furthermore, while the Canaanite’s may appear to dress as Muslims in some cases, it has been recorded in the Quran, the Torah and even in the Christian Bible; that Allah (God) always refers to these people as the idolaters.

And that the day would come, when the idolaters rain of terror; would come to a final end, for the sake of all who are true to Allah (God).

Palestinian Citizens Advisory

Jewish soldiers maintain order as Palestinians try to cross a checkpoint at the entrance of the city of Hebron, on 27 July 2008, after the military closed all checkpoints for security.

It is advised, that all Palestinian civilians, excluding the military, return to there homes, stay at home; until further notified. This is strictly for your protection.

Five Killed in Abbas's terrorist Beach Explosion

Palestinians wheel a wounded man into the Al-Shifa hospital, after he was injured by an ambiguous explosion in a summer rest place on the beach, on 25 July 2008 in Gaza city, Gaza strip.

Safadi and four others people, were killed when an explosion blew up in the Al-Hilal summer rest place where 15 others were wounded.

A Palestinian man carries the body of 5 years-old Seren Safadi, into the Al-Shifa hospital, after she was killed in the explosion.

According to security and the medical officials, the bomb was planted in a place where police cars park near the rest place on the beach.

It has been further reported that Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization has not just targeted Muslim Palestinians, but the Jewish people, as well as Christians.

To reaffirm, until this bloody rampage by Abbas’s terrorist is subdued, no one in Palestine is safe.

Abbas Terrorist Kill's One in Latest Attack

U.S. Senator Barak Obama (L) shakes hands with global terrorist Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas, on 23 July 2008 in city of Ramallah.

25 July 2008

Bomb blasts rocked a cafe and a Palestine legal government politician's home in the Gaza Strip on Friday, killing at least one Palestinian in a terrorist attack by Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization.

Security forces said the first bomb went off outside a popular cafe in the center of Gaza City, killing a passer-by whose identity was not immediately known.

The military is at this time, trying to subdue these latest terrorist attacks; by Abbas’s terrorist organization.

There was further mention of the Canaanite blood feud, this situation is about 9,000 years old now and it was always between the Canaanite‘s on one side trying to steal the country. On the other side, were always the Palestinians and the Jewish people; otherwise everyone else.

The Canaanite’s when they first came into Palestine as was said before, were because they where removed from there home country of now Turkey, for being beggars and thieves.

In this time period, my very great grandmother not knowing they where criminals, but thought they where just people in need, offered to help them and Palestine has had nothing but troubles with these criminals ever since.

Furthermore, they have no rights are say towards anything that has to do with Palestine; for they have been disowned, they are also know longer classified as Palestinian citizens.

Update:
The above picture is from Maan, one of Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist news agencies, showing the car bombing that killed four people. Usually picture’s like this from Abbas’s news agencies, is more gloating then news.

Four are dead and twenty injured after the car of a Palestine legal government leader in Gaza exploded west of Gaza City Friday evening.

It was originally thought, that the target’s where numerous attacks throughout Gaza City and the vicinity; most of the targets where Palestine legal government personal, by terrorist from global terrorist Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization; but it was later reported, that Abbas’s terrorists are attempting to create a bloody rampage throughout Palestine and the targets could be any religion.

The only terrorist organization in Palestine is Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization.

All Palestinians citizens regardless of there religion should make every effort to protect themselves, from Abbas’s terrorist organizations, latest bloody rampage.

Twal New Latin Patriarch inaugurated in Jerusalem

Archbishop Fuad Twal waves during a procession to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, part of his inauguration ceremony as the new Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem on 22 June 2008 in Jerusalem's Old City.

Twal was an assistant to the former patriarch Michel Sabbah, who announced he was retiring at the age of 75 and named his successor in a pastoral letter in March.

Twal was born into a Bedouin Christian tribe on 23 October 1949, at Madaba in Jordan.

African-American Muslims

The Slavery Years
(1517-1865)

Introduction

It was a reminder of a remarkable book that I read several years ago called, “Roots,” by Alex Haley and the fact he wrote that his family when they where in Africa where Muslim and over time apparently in America, they eventually became Christian and myself being Muslim and having had some people try to force me to Christianity, of the possibility that the same happened in history, before me.

Islamphobia as it is coined since 9/11 was a situation that had it roots, long before and this is a historical fact with numerous writings and verbal narratives passed from generation to generation among families who have been subjected to this situation.

Below is a small portion of the early history of Islam in America and one large group of people (Estimated in 1860, as nearly 4 million) in American history subjected to these pressures through slavery. It has been questioned numerous times over the years, if the enforcement of Christianity in America is just another way to Americanize and destroy the beauty and identity of people; who have came from other parts of the globe.

Muslims have been part of the American landscape since pre-Columbus times. Indeed, early explorers used maps that were derived from the work of Muslims, with their advanced geographical and navigational information of the time.

It is known among many Islamic scholars that about 90 percent of the slaves brought from Africa were Muslims. The film Amistad recognized this fact, portraying Muslims aboard this slave vessel, trying to perform their prayers while chained together on deck as they crossed the Atlantic. Below are four examples of personal stories that have been passed down:

Omar Ibn Said (ca. 1770-1864) was born in the Muslim state of Futa Toro in Western Africa, in present-day Senegal. He was a Muslim scholar and trader who was captured and enslaved. He arrived in South Carolina in 1807, and was sold to James Owen of North Carolina.

Sali-Bul Ali was a slave on a plantation. His owner James Cooper wrote: "He is a strict Mahometan; abstains from spirituous liquors, and keeps various fasts, particularly that of the Ramadan..."

Lamen Kebe was a slave who used to be a school teacher in Africa. He shared information about the texts and teaching methods used in the Islamic schools of his country.

Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Sori spent 40 years in slavery before he returned to Africa to die. He wrote two autobiographies, and signed a charcoal sketch of himself by Henry Inman, which was featured on the cover of "Freedman's Journal" and is on display in the Library of Congress.

Many of the Muslim slaves were encouraged or forced to convert to Christianity.

Many of the first-generation slaves retained much of their Muslim identity, but in the slave conditions at the time, this identity was largely lost in some cases among their descendants.

Needless to say, those who where forced into this heinous situation in history, should always be remembered for there courage and in too many cases there martyrdom.

Even in the twenty-first century, the African-American community deserves human rights and the respect, they so rightly deserve; from the time they where first forced upon American soil and the countless others who have suffered the same or similar indignities.
