TRANSFORMERS OVERCOME
TRANSFORMERS OVERCOME
Under enough pressure, matter transforms; elements transform.
Imagine, then, what such pressure does to humans, has done to black men and black women, historically.
Such perversely intense pressures that were caused by Christian and Islamic enslavements, colonization, or exploitation of Africans forward, from the 15th and/or 9th centuries, respectively, explain many African descendants' current status, due to transformations in part or wholly.
Even so, many such persons of African descent have overcome such transformative traumas.
They have done so, assiduously, by grace, everyday, everywhere in part or wholly. Yet many others have not fully regained their true, noble integrity as children of God.
For those who yet labor, who but see their way darkly, in a gloom of despair: hope, love, faith abound.
They abound for them and for us all of African descent, wherever we may now be situated or ensconced.
As our scattering was, so too our gathering is, the foreordained will of God. We have seeded, fertilized the earth with blood, sweat, tears, ingenuity. Now, our harvest awaits.
Praise God for God and Divine love!
