In many ways the core of our very problems today are rooted in that same slavery. There are no more dogs and fire hoses beating us back from seeking equality but there is a new form of slavery it is a glossier version the new technologic upgraded edition called economic slavery and comes to us via the new era of technology of incarceration.

We must empower ourselves to create an economic engine and jobs on our own that will provide job opportunities within our community. We must learn the tenderness of giving back and engaging in helping each other. We must reeducate our masses to understand that your neighbor is a part of that extended family they are your brothers and sisters. We must regenerate the thought process that there is a value to life and therefore remind our young people that the taking of a life is wrong and sinful. We must engage our leaders into a harmonious gathering and remind them that we need them to be aligned working together for the common good of our community.

Americas new revolution is one that must be fought in the classrooms of America as we give our children the tools they need to prepare For the world of tomorrow. It must be fought by rejuvenating neighborhoods clearing out abandoned store fronts and opening grocery stores, factories, restaurants, clothing stores and in that vein creating jobs and commerce within our own community. When we take the same drive that our ancestors once had and utilize our energy in a positive manner we can change the course of the future. Th e revolution as they say shall be televised because we should be disseminating information through he use of technology to our people.
