There was a season in our youth when our nation once unified as a body of humanity for the very first time - a time of war in Vietnam - Jim Crow in the southern states - a time of ERA and Harvey milk and burning crosses and segregation and coughing skies when a young Brit with long hair and strange round glasses begged our humanity to “give peace a chance “ - and now we stand on the precipice of annihilation when the only cry that will save a global body of humanity and it’s inhabitants is no longer that same plea- for now peace across all category is a global imperative

An imperative is humankind is going to survive.

That peace starts in the souls and hearts of man

Our struggles in the flesh have been their greatest teachers.

From Tubman to King to those whose blood runs through our veins

Our unification has ALWAYS been wrought with the anointed mission of “let my people go!”-

But our hearts must heal so we can heed the call as one. Only love can move that mountain within.

This mission is about the entire human race and all of its inhabitants.

And it starts at home-

Home is where the heart is.

Together is the only way home at this perilous junction.

There is only one race

The rest is the lie of man. all of our blood is crying from the earth. Am I my brother's keeper?”

How we answer that will be the road we traverse.
