Happy Memorial Day and thank you for your service, veterans! Here is a friendly reminder that Memorial Day was created by Gullah Geechee African Americans in Charleston, South Carolina in 1866.

“Pride of place as the first large scale ritual of Decoration Day, therefore, goes to African Americans in Charleston. By their labor, their words, their songs, and their solemn parade of flowers and marching feet on their former owners’ race course, they created for themselves, and for us, the Independence Day of the Second American Revolution.”

What a wonderful journey to take A Trip Off the Old Block with these lovely ladies! They had THE worst travel experience I had ever encountered but I ushered them along the way, they finally made it to Ghana 🇬🇭 and we had a whirlwind of a great time together! It was a pleasure to serve them and I will be sharing more memories to come!

We also have a private group on Facebook! ❤️

A great article featuring Rabbi Halevi!

This is horrific and it’s all political, far beyond the display of a cartoon. Nice, France 🇫🇷 is a beautiful place, though and the visit to the Notre Dame is amazing. It is the highest point of the city and so does assert Christian dominance, so that’s why the Muslim attacker chose to murder (even behead) three people there. 😔

The attack comes less than two weeks after a gruesome beheading related to cartoons deemed sacrilegious to some Muslims.

Ella Little-Collins, Malcolm X’s sister who paid for his Hajj pilgrimage as well as his funeral expenses also served as his guardian for years.
