Africa'S Cry

THE ENSLAVEMENT AND DIASPORA OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE HAVE MANIFESTED LIGHT ON OUR PAINS, STRUGGLES, SUFFERINGS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. WE WERE BROUGHT AS SLAVES, STRIPPED OF AND STRIPPED FROM EVERYTHING WE KNEW. THE RESILIENCE OF OUR PEOPLE HAS EMPOWERED US TO OVERCOME THE HARDSHIPS OF OUR PAST. IN SPITE OF OUR CONTINOUS OPPRESSION, WE DIDNT BUCKLE UNDER BUT, ROSE WITH DIGNITY AND SELF-REALIZATION TO CHANGE. TO CHANGE NOT THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN BUT, THE WAY WE THINK, ACT AND THEREBY EMPOWER THE CONTENT OF OUR CHARACTER!WE ARE BLACK, STRONG, PROUD, RESOURCEFUL AND INTELLIGENT!OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAME AT THE EXPENSE OF SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN BEATEN, LYNCHED OR KILLED. DONT TAKE FREEDOM FOR GRANTED! I HEAR THE VOICES OF OUR ANCESTORS INSPIRING AND ENCOURAGING ME TO,SPEAK TO OUR PEOPLE FOR AFRICA CRIES!CONSEQUENTLY, MY SPIRIT IS HUMBLED BY THE TASK GIVEN ME.
