We became a new people after our involuntary transportation to the Americas from Africa from the 15th century through the 19th century.
Coming from diverse African tribes with different tongues, religions, histories, and cultures, we merged into "new creatures," after assuming the shapes, textures, and the characters of the domineering European colonists that became masters of our new homes: the Christians: Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French, and English.
When the United States of America was formally established in 1789, we became African Americans after having formerly been simply called Africans. We achieved our national independence as a race on April 9, 1865, when the South surrendered to the North ending the Civil War.
In Western Missouri since the year 2000, on or about April 9 of each following year, we have joyfully celebrated our resilient race's resurrection from slavery and legal subjugation with a religious and historical commemorative program commonly known as THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PASSOVER.
We do this in remembrance of those who birthed us, loved us, trained us--our foreparents! We do this also to sing praises to our God who tested us, severely,, and who found us to be worthy of renewal!
Our seventy-six years of American captivity, 1789-1865, is also a glorious Bible case-study of grace abounding in us, encompassing the tales of Jonah and the whale; Joseph and the coat of many colors; Gideon and his minority 's victory over many; Ezra and Nehemiah's standing upon the wall; Moses' burning bush and Red Sea crossing; David and Saul's battles and Jonathan 's love; Mary; Jesus Christ's birth, flight into Egypt, life, crucifixion and resurrection ; and lastly the Comforter whom Christ foretold would teach us all things!
Wherever, or whoever you are, please be inspired to celebrate THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PASSOVER in peace! And love with food and joy!
Celebrate our "passing over from slavery to freedom of African American people" near April 9, 2016. Won't you? Why don't you?
