Frederick Douglass"If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation…want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters…. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."Jackson-MS N'CobraThose who profess to want reparations and yet undervalue demanding it are people who want a handout rather than economic justice. They want freedom without the responsibilities of a free man. They self determination without a nation to call their own. Afrikans must demand reparations in all its forms before our oppressors will acknowledge their crimes against our humanity.Join the postcard/letter campaign to Prez. Obama demanding that america owe-up to its responsibilities to Justice and Moral Character of a nation. here what we are saying out of mississippi. you can frame your own wording but we must all make the demamd!President Barack Obama1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500Dear President Obama:For the descendants of enslaved Africans in America, Reparations is an issue of ethical and moral justice for this country and its Blacks in particular, as well as an issue of social, economic and political justice. Black People in this country passionately want to believe that the words of the founding-fathers of American at last apply to us. But words are hollow without deeds to support them.Historically, America’s deeds have not mirrored its words as it relates to Black People. Your election to the Presidency of this country has given many of us hope for a more equitable and just society. However, we wholeheartedly believe that such a society can come about only when and if the old society atones for all of its past atrocities and indiscretions against enslaved Africans and their descendants.Therefore, I implore you to support the Call for Reparations (HR40) for the descendants of enslaved Africans in America and to support any and all Conferences and Tribunals Against Racism.
