Bending the story of history to favor equality: Honoring MLK King Jr.

If any act that discriminates is carried out by the government of the United States of America that is an indicator the time to act is now! My take on what I hear in Trump’s speeches alludes to discrimination and population control. The aim to get rid of people regardless of having sound policy, experienced civil servants and community partners in place is unethical. Not to mention disregarding breaking apart families and not carrying who gets lost in the system. We all have friends , family or someone in our communities whom we would rather not see fall through the cracks or be held up in a government or even financial system when there intention is to do good or simply work. Such compassion must be extended to our people and workers documented or not!

Codify the Equal Rights Amendment into law!




This effort put forth during the last days of President J. Biden's presidency reminds me of many Civil & Voting Rights protections were weakened during politically conservative administrations. To paraphrase where we have come; a minimum  of 38 states have codified the Equal Rights Amendment. I strongly advocate for making it officially (a codified) section of the United States Constitution. - A.T. (Yoda) Brooks

From Darkness to Light!

While listening to this awesome music by a group featuring Gospel Chidi an inspiration came to me based on John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way , the truth and the life; no man cometh cometh unto the father, but by me. Can the word life be changed to light without changing the essence of this Bible verses? Stay blessed this day before the birthday of my role ,model Martin Luther King the Jr :)
