    Enslaved, Educated and Uplifted!

     
    Slavery is non-reality to me, though everyday we hear, see and sometimes experience its effects.

    Our awareness of those around us that have lived within it, in our contemporary times is eye-opening and sickening. Through the lens of life we get to see mans' in-humanity to Man, Woman and Child, and wonder what has gone wrong?

    What drives one to subsume another in the name of what thing, what thought, what value.. What could be so great as to justify the impoverished destruction of human potential in the name of another's cause or need. Greed, powerless mental fanaticism and infantilism drives a sick mind to make these choices.

    As we all reach out and say Nahana Maakum - We Are With You!.. we strike against the ignorance, and raise up a new educated body, to live, learn and teach a new way to survive and thrive in the Twenty-First Century.
