ALL HANDS ON DECK!
ALL HANDS ON DECK!
The battle for citizenship rights for black Americans requires some "all hands on deck" type of dedication. No one of African descent or other, can afford to duck responsibility or "lay up in the cut!". No single politician nor civil rights organization can be trusted to do for us, alone, without our help, support, guidance; nor should they be left to be benevolent burden-bearers, or any volunteer surrogates for your bemusement nor advancement.
This lesson history has often shown. If nobody(ies) with enough money and commitment to the cause arises soon to satisfy you: in law, ministry, medicine, science, sociology, anthropology, sports, finance, business, academia. law enforcement--then bravo!--if none from these disciplines, no one credibly arise to fight the good fight of faith! Then, you must fight it your way!
ALL HANDS ON DECK!
