Support Judge William Thomas: Call Senator Bill Nelson

Please support Judge William Thomas. We really need you, your family and friends to  call Senator Nelson and Senator Rubio's office this week.  Your approach can be as simple as one of the following statements:

****I am a registered voter in Miami-Dade County and I am calling to find out when the Senator is going to return his "blue slip" to the White House so Judge William Thomas' nomination to the federal bench can move forward.

****I'm calling to let the Senator know that I'm very upset that he has not returned his "blue slip" to the White House so that President Obama's nomination of Judge William Thomas to become a Federal Judge can move forward. All reviews have been completed...what is the Senator waiting for? 

PLEASE READ BELOW FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION & PHONE NUMBERS.

Judge William Thomas has been nominated by President Barack Obama to become a Federal District Court Judge in the Southern District of Florida.  President Obama nominated Judge Thomas in November of 2012.  Judge Thomas' nomination has been pending for over six months and Judge Thomas is still awaiting a confirmation hearing.   This is unacceptable and we need to urge both Senator Nelson and Senator Rubio to move forward with Judge Thomas' nomination without further delay.  

Senator Nelson has publicly stated that he fully supports Judge Thomas's nomination yet he has failed to return his "blue  slip," the form required before Judge Thomas's nomination can go forward.  When asked why he has yet to return his blue slip, Senator Nelson responded that he was waiting for the Senate Judiciary Committee to complete Judge Thomas' background investigation.  However, in a recent article, it was revealed that Senator Leahy, the ranking Democratic leader of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has completed his review of Judge Thomas' background and fully briefed Senator Nelson.  Yet, Senator Nelson has failed to act.  Normally, the home state senator will return his blue slip after  being briefed by his party's ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee.  For reasons that are unknown to us, Senator Nelson has chosen not to follow this long established tradition when it comes to Judge Thomas' nomination. 

Senator Rubio has offered no rational reason for his delay.  Please note that a return of the blue slip by the home state Senator(s) does not mean that the senator supports the nomination.  It merely allows the nomination to proceed for consideration before the full Senate Judiciary Committee.  We are simply asking that the process move forward and that Judge Thomas's nomination be treated the same as others who have preceded him.     

Please take a few moments out of your busy schedule and call Senator Nelson's and Senator Rubio's office to encourage them to act NOW.  We are asking everyone to call during the week of July 22, 2013.  Please don't simply read this email.  We need you to call. We understand everyone is busy but a call to Senator's Nelson and Senator Rubio will only take a few minutes of your time.  

Senator Nelson's Washington DC number is 202-224-5274

Senator Nelson's Miami regional office number is 305-536-5999

Senator Nelson can be emailed by hitting the following link:

Celebrations at Virginia Key Beach Park: May 19, 2012

Royal Visit, Malcolm X Birthday, and "Memory Day"

at Virginia Key Beach Park

By Gene Tinnie

Not many days come along quite like Saturday, May 19, 2012, in Miami, Florida, when, on the birth date of the late Malcolm X (who would have been 87), a special “Memory Day” for the sharing of oral histories and memorabilia at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park (HVKBP), 4020 Virginia Beach Drive, off Rickenbacker Causeway, will begin with a traditional symbolic Leaf Ceremony of reconciliation and healing, conducted by a visiting African king at 10:00 a.m.

"Memory Days,” were a vital part of the broad community effort which began more than a decade ago to reclaim and restore the historic beach, saving it from exclusive private development and establishing it as a historic and environmental landmark.  These were special days set aside at the park (which was still closed down) for the sharing of recollections, reminiscences, and articles of memorabilia (snapshots, brochures, etc.) of the park, particularly in its heyday as Miami’s only “Colored Beach,” which were recorded on video  as a permanent record of important history which is documented nowhere else.

Saturday’s Memory Day renews this popular event, which also provides the fun and surprises of a “family reunion” atmosphere, and is designed to include the oral histories of younger generations as well.  These valuable stories, from spiritual rebirths (baptisms) to first kisses, to historic gatherings, to Splashdown parties, are all more valuable than ever today, as the entire Historic Beach Park is about to become the “indoor/outdoor museum” which the community envisioned more than ten years ago, beginning with displays and features which require as much accurate information as possible.

Oral history gathering will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Providentially, the day is also an opportunity for people to share their memories of Malcolm X as well.  Malcolm X did not enjoy the same kind of widespread acceptance as his fellow fallen hero Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but this in some ways made him an even stronger and more credible voice in the African American community, and he was certainly no less of an important historic figure.  His remarkable rise from family tragedy and the life of a street hustler to a globally respected and dedicated activist for human rights is a story that has been too little known and too often misunderstood or misrepresented, as so often happens with some of the most inspired and inspiring leaders.

It is therefore only fitting that a day with so much meaning and so much to offer should be launched in such a special way, as an African King, H.M. Nii Dr. Kpobi Tettey Tsuru, III, of the Traditional Area of La, Ghana, West Africa, which includes the capital city of Accra, culminates his third goodwill visit to South Florida at HVKBP, where he has long desired to pay tribute to the local history and community, bringing a message of reconciliation and reconnection as we strive to overcome the continuing consequences of more than four centuries of the Atlantic “slave trade,” slavery, and colonialism. 

Finally, certainly not to be overlooked, this special day, and this important ritual invocation of ancestral strength, knowledge, and spiritual guidance (the King is also a Christian minister) will all start by honoring and giving thanks to the land itself and its original inhabitants with a Native American Opening of the Way ceremony conducted Carib Tribal Indan Queen Mrs. Catherine Hummingbird Ramirez, who played a key role in the saving of the Miami Circle sacred site, where she continues to hold weekly prayer vigils on Tuesday evenings. 

As a day of history, reconnection, and fun, Saturday, May 19 at Historic Virginia Key Beach park will be history-making in itself and is sure to be fondly remembered by generations to come.

Jourdan Anderson: A Letter to His Old Master

On August 7, 1865,  Jourdon Anderson, a former slave of Colonel P.H. Anderson, respoded to his former master's request to return to work on the farm for a wage.


Here is  Jourdon Anderson's reply, which was published in The New York Daily Tribune.


LETTER FROM A FREEDMAN TO HIS OLD MASTER.


[Written just as he dictated it.]


Dayton, Ohio, August 7, 1865.




To my old Master, Colonel P. H. Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee.


Sir: I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. I thought the Yankees would have hung you long before this, for harboring Rebs they found at your house. I suppose they never heard about your going to Colonel Martin's to kill the Union soldier that was left by his company in their stable. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt, and am glad you are still living. It would do me good to go back to the dear old home again, and see Miss Mary and Miss Martha and Allen, Esther, Green, and Lee. Give my love to them all, and tell them I hope we will meet in the better world, if not in this. I would have gone back to see you all when I was working in the Nashville Hospital, but one of the neighbors told me that Henry intended to shoot me if he ever got a chance.


I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here. I get twenty-five dollars a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy,—the[266] folks call her Mrs. Anderson,—and the children—Milly, Jane, and Grundy—go to school and are learning well. The teacher says Grundy has a head for a preacher. They go to Sunday school, and Mandy and me attend church regularly. We are kindly treated. Sometimes we overhear others saying, "Them colored people were slaves" down in Tennessee. The children feel hurt when they hear such remarks; but I tell them it was no disgrace in Tennessee to belong to Colonel Anderson. Many darkeys would have been proud, as I used to be, to call you master. Now if you will write and say what wages you will give me, I will be better able to decide whether it would be to my advantage to move back again.


As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free papers in 1864 from the Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of Nashville. Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you were disposed to treat us justly and kindly; and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores, and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At twenty-five dollars a month for me, and two dollars a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to eleven thousand six hundred and eighty dollars. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor's visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy, and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to. Please send the money by Adams's Express, in care of V. Winters, Esq.,[267] Dayton, Ohio. If you fail to pay us for faithful labors in the past, we can have little faith in your promises in the future. We trust the good Maker has opened your eyes to the wrongs which you and your fathers have done to me and my fathers, in making us toil for you for generations without recompense. Here I draw my wages every Saturday night; but in Tennessee there was never any pay-day for the negroes any more than for the horses and cows. Surely there will be a day of reckoning for those who defraud the laborer of his hire.


In answering this letter, please state if there would be any safety for my Milly and Jane, who are now grown up, and both good-looking girls. You know how it was with poor Matilda and Catherine. I would rather stay here and starve—and die, if it come to that—than have my girls brought to shame by the violence and wickedness of their young masters. You will also please state if there has been any schools opened for the colored children in your neighborhood. The great desire of my life now is to give my children an education, and have them form virtuous habits.


Say howdy to George Carter, and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.


From your old servant,
Jourdon Anderson.

11/11/11 in American History

By Dinizulu Gene Tinnie

 

November 11 in the United States is a legal holiday, a day off work for many, with some even being paid, as we honor America’s veterans.  However, it is much more than that, particularly this year, as we shall see.  Veterans' Day was established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954, as the new name for what had been previously observed as Armistice Day, marking the date in 1918 of the Treaty of Versailles in Paris which ended “The Great War” (World War I), at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.  That horrific war in Europe was finally ended when the United States entered it on the side of the western allies and tipped the balance which ended the long stalemate.

 

In yet another of those grand illusions of ships too big to sink, or banks too large to fail, “The Great War” was thought to be “The War to End All Wars,” but, would only prove instead to be only the beginning of what President Eisenhower would call “the military-industrial complex,”  as he warned the nation against its power.  He knew, from first-hand experience,  what that power can do, as the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in World War II, which was an even more deadly and more global conflict, and the first in which more civilians (in the millions) were killed than military personnel on the battlefield, culminating with the invention and deployment of nuclear bombs.

 

Like President Wilson who established Armistice Day as a holiday in 1919, Eisenhower initiated the name change to honor even more overtly the sacrifices and courage of the many soldiers who have fought in the defense of freedom, in all wars, including the then-recent Korea conflict (yet another war) of the early 1950s.  Veterans Day garners even more recognition than ever this year, as it takes place on 11/11/11, and thus should be a time when, more than ever, we pause to recognize those who fought and sacrificed for the defense of freedom.

 

That recognition, however, goes far beyond one day of easy platitudes about “our brave men and women in uniform,” who are all too often sent into harm’s way by questionable political policies, and, truth to be told, who are all too often NOT treated with the fairness and respect they deserve when those who survive return home, by the very government they served.  Veterans Day in 2011 challenges us, as a nation, to right these wrongs and to honor those who served 365 days a year.

 

Yet, this is only the beginning of the challenges, and opportunities, that this date presents in 2011, which, unbeknownst to most of us, has been declared by the United Nations General Assembly as the International Year for People of African Descent, a global call to the human family to recognize the centuries of injustices still being done to some of its members, and a call to people of the African World to “show ourselves strong” in all of our struggles and achievements.  In this light, November 11, 2011 has an even greater significance for America, in many ways, because of what occurred right here in the U.S., not in Europe or elsewhere, 170 years ago, on Friday, November 11, 1831, at 12:00 noon, in Jerusalem, Virginia.




That was the day and time that Nat Turner, leader of the most infamous slave insurrection in the nation’s history, which had been launched in August of that year, was hanged, and his body skinned and dismembered, with pieces handed out to onlookers as souvenirs.  (One person is reported to have made a wallet from a piece of the skin.)  Nat Turner led a fight for freedom of the enslaved, against slave owners who had no intention of ever ending the crime of slavery (which they made legal, while escape or resistance was illegal).  While there may be nothing to be glorified in the rampage which killed some 60 whites, including women and children, as they slept, there is even less to glorify in the conditions which caused this revolt in the first place, or in the torture and rampant murders of hundreds of Black people at random, as far away as in surrounding states by racist militias and vigilantes in retaliation.

Crossing the Sahara and Back: African Feminisms in Dialogue

“Out of Many, One People” @ African American Research Library and Cultural Center

by Philip Curtis

Philip Curtis is known for his works in pastels, acrylic and oils, portraying a variety of scenes including essential Jamaican life, sports figures as well as jazz scenes.

Louis Davis’ work will showcase his social activist images referencing fast food, immigration, black on black violence, and the perception of the angry and violent black man.

David Muir’s photographs capture a wide range of vivid Jamaican scenes.

The African American Research Library and Cultural Center  is located at 2650 Sistrunk Blvd, Fl 33311, on the corner of NW 27^th Ave and Sistrunk Blvd (NW 6^thSt).
