“SOOOOOO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT SOMEONE DOWN YOUR ANCESTRY LINE SURVIVED BEING CHAINED TO OTHER HUMAN BODIES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS IN THE BOTTOM OF A DISEASE-INFESTED SHIP DURING THE MIDDLE PASSAGE, LOST THEIR LANGUAGE, CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS, PICKED UP THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AS BEST THEY COULD WHILE WORKING FREE OF CHANGEF ROM SUNUP TO SUNDOWN AS THEY WATCHED BABIES SOLD FROM OUT OF THEIR ARMS AND WOMEN RAPED BY RUTHLESS SLAVE OWNERS. TOOK NAMES WITH NO LAST NAMES, NO BIRTH CERTIFICATES, NO HERITAGE OF ANY KIND, BRAVED THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, SURVIVED THE CIVIL WAR TO ENTER INTO SHARECROPPING. LEARNED TO READ AND WERITE OUT OF SHEER WILL AND DETERMINATION, FACED THE BURING CROSSED OF THE KKK, AVERTED THEIR EYS AT THE BLACK BODIES SWINIGING FROM ROPES HUNG ON TREES. FOUGHT IN WORLD WARS AS SOLDIERS TO RETURN TO AMERICA AS BOYS, MARCHED IN BIRMINGHAM, HOSED IN SELMA, JAILED IN WILMINGTON, ASSASSINATED IN MEMPHIS, SEGREGATED IN THE SOUTH, GHETTOED IN THE NORTH, INGNORED IN HISTORY BOOKS, STEREOTYPED IN HOLLYWOOD. AND IN SPITE OF ALL SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY LINE ENDURED EVERY ERA TO MAKE SURE YOU WOULD GET HERE AND YOU RECEIVE ONE REJECTION, FACE ONE OBTACLE, LOSE ONE FRIEND, GET OVERLOOKED, ANND YOU WANT TO QUIT? HOW DARE YOU ENTERTAIN THE VERY THOUGHT OF QUITTING. PEOPLE YO UWILL NEVER KNOW SURVIVED FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION SO YOU COULD SUCCEED. DON’T YOU DARE LET THEM DOWN.” DR. CLAUD ANDERSON
