You see, 41 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: mind over matter. You know you can set your intention 42 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: for for today, make it a good day, instead of 43 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: letting the circumstances hold you down and weigh you down. 44 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: Therefore you're perpetually learning.

He 51 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: knows he's got the least you know, a few And meanwhile, man, 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: better late than never, hears the better late than never news. 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's good, if your heart isn't 54 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: in it. 55 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 2: But President Donald Trump issued a Martin Luther King Day 56 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: proclamation after much criticism from civil rights groups. He in 57 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: the past presidents, of course, issued statements about doctor King 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: even before the federal holiday. 59 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 1: But yeah, and you know, let me join me because 60 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: and what they do too, they show it's a day 61 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: of service. So they'll do something to honor doctor King, 62 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: whether it be you know, helping the homeless, like a sister. 63 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: Christina's going to tell so what she does twenty four 64 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: to seven, or serving food to the hungary, or doing 65 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: something in service of doctor King to you know, and 66 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: it'll be covered on TV. What Donald Trump did. He 67 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: waited to the late possible as he could, so it 68 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't make the evening news for the for the 69 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: East coast, you know, the network news. So he did it. 70 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: I think it was released close to sevenas something, and 71 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: he did it on X. He didn't make it a proclamation, 72 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: He just tweeted it. And so you have to be 73 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: a follow of him to know that he actually treated 74 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: tweeted it. Some people say it was closer to eight 75 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: o'clock east East coast time. You know, people are monitoring 76 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: these things, and it was sort of a sort of 77 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: little backhanded you know, you know, salute to doctor King. 78 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: But anyway, right, because usually presidents attend parades and commemra 79 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: yeah services and they make the proclamation days usually days 80 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: before at the federal holiday. 81 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: But this and it gets a lot of coverage on TV. 82 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: That's you know, you know, Donald Trump. The part of 83 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: it is a show man. He knows exactly what time 84 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: the networks, you know, the deadline is to make stories 85 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: for the networks. So the majority of the people, of 86 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: course live on the East Coast, so that he wants 87 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: that make that you know, make that news. And of 88 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: course you didn't make the news because it was too late. 89 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 2: His kind in the newspaper even for that matter, you know, 90 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 2: so right, the story wasn't even above the fold. 91 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: They say above the fold is important. 92 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: But he says that he honored doctor King last year 93 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: by declassifying documents related to his assassination, and several noted 94 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: historians said, however, that there was little of note in 95 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 2: those documents, and most of doctor King's family had opposed 96 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: the release. 97 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I still haven't released all of them. He just released, 98 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, just a look. You know, people say, well, 99 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: you know, you keep the king files for a minute. 100 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: Just released the Apstein files for us, you know, so 101 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: just release Apstein files. You can hold Kingdom for another 102 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: day or so. But look today, can you imagine the 103 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: court has told them to release the files and they 104 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: still ignore what the court is saying. You know, he's 105 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: been missed. It's justice. Upon has been told, you know, 106 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: release the files, and they just ignore what the court says. 107 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: They do whatever they want. But anyway, yeah, right. 108 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: Their strength and holding out collectively, I suppose you know, 109 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 2: you know, there's a whole group of them holding out. 110 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: So we're in a new world, which one do you hear? 111 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? Right, hey, look in this proclamation. 112 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: He said, Doctor King's extraordinary resolve stands as an enduring 113 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: testament to the unstoppable fire of freedom, and tragically ultimately 114 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: cost him his life. 115 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: That's how. 116 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: And so then he continues to say, today we honored 117 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: the brave men and women who remains that fast in 118 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 2: their commitment to law, order, liberty, and justice for all. 119 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: We renew our resolve, to honor our heritage, reclaim our freedom, 120 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: and recommit to the truth that America is, was, and 121 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: forever real be a great nation. 122 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: So you see what he did there. 123 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: You see, he started with doctor King and then went 124 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: into his own diatribe. Yeah, you see, but you know, 125 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: so it's a it's a bad thing that he waited, 126 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 2: and it's a good thing that he said it. 127 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 3: But if your heart isn't in it, you know, why 128 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 3: why go there? 129 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 4: You know? 130 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he was trying to thread the neil. He 131 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: wanted to show his people that, you know, it's still 132 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: he wasn't He still wanted to show his people that, 133 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, I really don't care for those folks. So, 134 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: you know, so most of his feets will understand how 135 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: he figured it was a political move that he had 136 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: to do. But uh, they liked it, were probably they 137 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: happy with the way he did it. You know, didn't 138 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: give it as much as a high sign as he 139 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: could go to a civil rights meeting like you mentioned, 140 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: to help the homeless or something, feed the people who 141 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: need it, because once, you know, he just wanted to 142 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: admit the we've got we've got those kind of problems 143 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: in this country. That's the first thing with him being 144 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: the leader. So you know, helping the homeless or feeding 145 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: the hungry, he doesn't want to admit that that that's 146 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: that's happening on to his watch as it's needy. So 147 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: that's another issue too. 148 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: Well, let's stay on code. 149 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: Let's say that he said he made a proclamation for 150 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: doctor Martin Luther King, the President of the United States, 151 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: made a proclamation. Okay, let's give it out as the 152 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: as the good news that it really is.

I don't care if it's 317 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 7: getting involved writing your local council people a letter or 318 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 7: calling them just to get them to the point to 319 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 7: understand that we as a people, no matter what city 320 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 7: we're in, we have a concern a lot of people, 321 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 7: not as consumed as I am, but at least we 322 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 7: can have a concern for humanity, our homeless sisters and brothers. 323 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 7: So that's going to be house built two two sixty six, 324 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 7: and that house built is for supportive and emergency housing call. 325 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 7: And when I think about the emergency housing part, that's 326 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 7: the part that we do at Velvedere as well. Emergency 327 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 7: housing is like a substitute in between even if shelter 328 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 7: is not available, Like we have providers, we have service 329 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 7: providers that provide services, whether it's emergency housing, temporary housing, 330 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 7: or overnight stay. And this is something that we kind 331 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 7: of develop within my organization because it helps people that 332 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 7: have different housing programs to be able to fill their spaces. 333 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 7: Because technically, when you call and people say, you know, 334 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 7: the shelters are full, there's no beds, I mean, that 335 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 7: doesn't stop the emergency for that homeless individual, that mom, 336 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 7: that child, that senior. That's experience and homelessness. So this 337 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 7: is a bill you know again calling in to Annapolis 338 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 7: to do hearings or write letters. That's House Built again 339 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 7: two two six six, And that's that emergency housing piece. 340 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 7: You know, everybody can have an emergency space that they 341 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 7: may want to accommodate someone that is homeless and experience 342 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 7: and homelessness. And our second bill call it is House 343 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 7: Built two four eight nine, and it talks about the 344 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 7: public spaces like encampments, the tents where people decide to 345 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 7: collaborate or live at in the meantime when people say, 346 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 7: and again there's no shelter, then you have organizations now 347 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 7: that will give people a tent, I mean, give them 348 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 7: a tent just so they can be safe or out 349 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 7: of the weather. Or out of the endangerment of the weather. 350 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 7: So you know, when I think about those two house bills, 351 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 7: I definitely want to put it out there because again, 352 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 7: it can help us as a people to get involved 353 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 7: without you know, strenuously. If you don't do the feeding, 354 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 7: if you don't do the clothing, least have some way 355 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 7: to get involved, to let your voice be heard for humanity. 356 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 7: Because Car, right now, humanity is suffering greatly. And when 357 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 7: I say this, and I start and Broughtimore. 358 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 5: City, we are still dealing with increasing numbers of homelessness, 359 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 5: and it's hitting people from evictions, it's hitting people from. 360 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 7: The lack of affordable housing that they can't afford to pas. 361 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 7: So again, we constantly have to work on developing and 362 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 7: creating different housing models. And that's where the people voice 363 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 7: will sound the largest alarms, because when you're talking about 364 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 7: housing our homeless population, there should be no discrimination, Kyle, 365 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 7: there should be no discrimination when people are living in 366 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 7: some of the most inhumane conditions. 367 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 5: We have to help people. 368 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 7: You know, it doesn't matter if their background, what they did, 369 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 7: it's sex offenders. Every type of housing need to be 370 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 7: developed in our cities and in our states to sustain 371 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 7: our homeless population because again we know this population extends 372 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 7: from substance abuse, mental health, you know, loss of employment. 373 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 7: It's just really now, you know, like your previous callers said, 374 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 7: it's so much happening in the area of homelessness, Like 375 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 7: I don't you know, we have a typical day, you know, yesterday, 376 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 7: you know, shout out to Martin Luther King birthday and 377 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 7: just to be serving people or meeting their needs or 378 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 7: you know, helping them where they're at, you know, and 379 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 7: it doesn't stop. You know, yesterday we were servicing a 380 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 7: mother with two boy twins like homeless right now and 381 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 7: just getting her somewhere safe. Because again when people say 382 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 7: there's no shelter space, it doesn't stop the emergency or 383 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 7: the situation that that individual is experiencing. So you know, 384 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 7: we had velvetere We pray to reach out to people 385 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 7: to give them the outlets that they need to get 386 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 7: involved because I know a lot of people they're not 387 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 7: going under the bridges, they're not going on a homeless encampment. 388 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 7: You know, they may not even be feeding or thinking 389 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 7: about the homeless individuals. But we want to be that 390 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 7: part of your thought process because it really takes a 391 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 7: village to engage and help this situation. That's why I'm 392 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 7: excited about the Annapolis bills. I'm excited about some of 393 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 7: the housing providers that we have been meeting with since 394 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,479 Speaker 7: this New Year's we have more resources in our city 395 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 7: of independent and the private sector of housing from assistant living. 396 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 7: You know, we have a big market of people in 397 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 7: our city that's willing and ready to open their doors 398 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 7: to help our homeless population. But I think we all 399 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 7: know what the barriers are when it comes to that 400 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 7: level of engagement. 401 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: Well, after, mister Flowers, are you seeing an increase now 402 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: of on housed homeless folks on the streets of Baltimore 403 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: City or is it sort of living out or is 404 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: it the same?

So when you're talking 410 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 7: about an increase, we are definitely looking at an increase 411 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 7: and Broughtimore City because a lot of the situations that 412 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 7: people are experiencing.

Basically, our mayor need to understand that 635 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 7: the solutions on the streets and the resources that we 636 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 7: are gathering and developing are from everyday people that's just concerned, 637 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 7: Like we need to have an opportunity to hear some 638 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 7: of the solutions that we operate and perform in every day. 639 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 7: You know, we just housed a mother with two little 640 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 7: boys yesterday, Like everything happens like not with them understanding 641 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 7: that it really takes a village. So when he gets 642 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 7: to the point of bringing people in and having his 643 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 7: set groups, you know, that's where the problem is at 644 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 7: because he's not engaging or allowing other resources to come 645 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 7: in to be a part of the solution. 646 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 5: For all people. 647 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 7: You know, I take my hat off to boots on 648 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 7: the ground. The work you guys do, we are us. 649 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 7: Like you said, it takes an effort, and for some reason, 650 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 7: we have a mayor that is isolated to building his 651 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 7: own little circle, and that doesn't work in a city 652 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 7: like Baltimore. That's why we having so many issues and 653 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 7: so many nonprofits are suffering right now, closing their doors 654 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 7: in the midst of an administration already about to take 655 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 7: funds from different cities. If you're a sanctuary city, you're 656 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 7: about to lose funds, you're about to lose money. Well, 657 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 7: Baltimore City we have closed I know at least three 658 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 7: programs this far is struggling and closing their doors, not 659 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 7: only because of the lack of the funds, but they're 660 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 7: not getting their invoices paid. 661 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 6: They're not getting paid from city Hall. 662 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 7: So when you're looking at this level of corruption, our 663 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 7: man need to sit down and have a conversation with 664 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 7: those of us who are the boots on the ground, 665 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 7: because that's where the real work begins. Because the harvest 666 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 7: is all over the place. Mark so a lot of 667 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 7: people staying real busy. I don't care if as we 668 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 7: are us safe streets. I'm sure they're busy, but when 669 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 7: it comes to really narrowing it down and prioritizing things, 670 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,439 Speaker 7: we need a man that's able to engage us as 671 00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 7: advocates and the specialists that we are and Broughtimore City. 672 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: All right ten away from the top of a minister 673 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: Christina Flowers and mister Flowers, are you seeing an increase 674 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: in women and children now on the streets? 675 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 7: Yes, the women and children, you know, Mark, and you 676 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 7: could call it the baby boomers, the young mothers. It's 677 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 7: just a lot in that area. And it's due to 678 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 7: a lot of neglect as well. And I say that 679 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 7: because we are dealing with a lot of young mothers 680 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:36,280 Speaker 7: with one, two, three children experiencing homelessness here in Baltimore 681 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 7: City now, because you know, it could be anything from 682 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,760 Speaker 7: the trauma that they are experiencing from some unhealthy relationships. 683 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 7: It could be from the trauma that you can't live 684 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,919 Speaker 7: with your mother or your father, you can't go around 685 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 7: your family, you know. I ask questions like that when 686 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 7: I see little babies and young mothers being homeless now, 687 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 7: like how is your relationship? You got to ask them 688 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 7: questions because sometimes, yes, they damage their own relationships, but 689 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 7: then at the same time, there are not enough resources 690 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 7: in our city when it comes to our homeless youth, 691 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 7: nor the homeless mothers and children. Like these are specially 692 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 7: designed programs that need to operate and function. And yes, 693 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 7: we deal basically with the encampments that are unsheltered and 694 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 7: all the population, But when I'm looking at the mothers 695 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 7: and children and working with them is really heartbreaking because 696 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 7: we do have a lot of programs and Baltimore City 697 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 7: that publicly talk about working with this population, but at 698 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 7: the same time, a lot of them are falling on 699 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 7: our doorstep because they experience and homelessness on top of 700 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 7: the neglect of other things, healthy relationships, family units are broken. 701 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 7: Like when I'm looking at these mothers that are experiencing 702 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 7: homelessness and getting evicted from places, like you know, I 703 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 7: went to a place the other day, I'm like, I 704 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 7: can't even believe nobody living here. Children lived in that place. 705 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 7: So this is where we start looking for accountability from 706 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 7: all of these boots on the ground organizations here in 707 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,760 Speaker 7: Baltimore City that should be, you know, working on healthy 708 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 7: starts for children, Like it's names of programs here that's 709 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 7: getting funding, and I'm wondering, like, how are these mothers 710 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 7: and children suffering so much to be falling to the 711 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 7: level of I'm just at Miss Flowers door because I'm homeless. 712 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 7: What about the other programs that's operating and functioning that 713 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 7: should be resolving and helping these families. So accountability is 714 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 7: a real serious issue in Baltimore City. So when you 715 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 7: talk about an administration coming and taking funds and pulling 716 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,720 Speaker 7: out the plank out of people lives, it's because our city, 717 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 7: by design operate and a misappropriated in a mismanageable way 718 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 7: when it comes to funding. You know, when you hear 719 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 7: Mark talk about the schools, I don't care if it's 720 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 7: the schools that's dealing with homelessness and children a lot. 721 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 7: You know, we got a lot of money last year 722 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 7: when it came to the mckinnity funds, and a lot 723 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 7: of that money did not go to helping these homeless 724 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 7: school aged kids that's in school every day or half 725 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 7: of the time in school because they can't get a 726 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 7: ride from the shelter. When you look at some of 727 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 7: these circumstances that these families are facing, Mark, it is 728 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 7: nothing but neglect. And this is a sign of oppression 729 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 7: to me when I'm looking at these young mothers not 730 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 7: being able to access to sources, nor being able to 731 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 7: provide for their family. 732 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: And six away from the top of our family, just 733 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 1: checking in, I guess is Minister's Christina Flowers, her slice 734 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: of the pies, helping the house the homeless people in 735 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: her city of Baltimore. And I got to ask you 736 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: this question though, the the all these boarded up buildings 737 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 1: that I saw when I was in Baltimore, this and 738 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 1: we got people sleeping on the streets, And again I 739 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: got to ask you about those sisters I always asked 740 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: you about when I was there. That was that left 741 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: a lasting impression on me because this is this, This 742 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: is somebody's mother's grandma's sisters laying on the concrete family 743 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,399 Speaker 1: And we told me it was the day too. It 744 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: was bitterly cold. And when I'm saying bitterly cold, it 745 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: was It's one of them days. The hawk was go 746 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: out there as well as it was just the temperatures 747 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: were really probably in the single digits. But Minister Flowers, first, 748 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: the boarded up building still there, any movement to open 749 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: them up to to the to the on house too. 750 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,439 Speaker 1: Are those those elderly sisters, are they is any step 751 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: to help them? 752 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 7: So let me let me ask the vote for those questions, 753 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 7: brother Carl. The first thing is by design. Again, in 754 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 7: Baltimore City, we still have a lot of vacant buildings, 755 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 7: a lot of vacant boarded up houses, and you have 756 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 7: a lot of people with personal agendas for these houses. 757 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:28,399 Speaker 7: And I say that because everything, when it's dealing with humanity, 758 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 7: turns into a bureaucratic issue. We have these vacant houses, 759 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 7: we have buildings that's big enough, we have school houses, 760 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 7: We have so many solutions in Baltimore City for them 761 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 7: to work with the grassroots homeless advocates. But again, when 762 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 7: we don't get that invitation or have that invite to 763 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 7: engage our political leaders for solutions, you know we're still 764 00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 7: facing this type of issue. And that's another meeting that 765 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 7: we have coming up with our Commission of Housing. 766 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 1: Because oh, hopefully we haven't lost minister Flowers. Sound like 767 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: a phone job, but I'll tell you, well, we got 768 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: to check the trafficking weather anyway, Kevin, So you can 769 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 1: get that Minister Christina Flowers back.

We're going to speak 777 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: with doctor a coua chi k. But first listen of 778 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 1: wrapper with Minister Flowers, because I think a line dropped 779 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 1: my questions. Minister Flowers, I know you're back, so you 780 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: want to finish responding to those questions. And I got 781 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: a tweet question. 782 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 7: For you as well, and I think we were just 783 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 7: winding up the facts of our vacant houses, and again, 784 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,880 Speaker 7: you know, it just led me to saying that we 785 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 7: have to come to that place of requesting. I don't 786 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 7: want to use the word demand, because sometimes demand gives 787 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 7: people the thought of being more guarded and being more 788 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 7: defensive towards us. So you know, we just request the 789 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 7: things that we have here in our city to be 790 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 7: utilized more to protect and help humanity and the vacant 791 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 7: buildings is one of them. 792 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: And also I asked you about the elderly sisters that 793 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: I saw when I was in Baltimore. They were sleeping 794 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,319 Speaker 1: on the streets, and you know. 795 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 7: That's on Cathedral. What they have done, Carl, the little 796 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 7: the center that was sitting there that kind of harbored 797 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,240 Speaker 7: and drew everybody to them was the My Sister Place 798 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 7: drop in center. It's a dropping center that sits at 799 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 7: the corner of that alley. You still have about five 800 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 7: tenths out there because you do have those women, those 801 00:46:54,680 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 7: elderly women that you know, whether mentally or you know physically, 802 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 7: they're not going to be a part. 803 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 5: Of no shelter. 804 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 7: Has it been a housing solution for them, No, it 805 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 7: has not. So they are still drifting around the main 806 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 7: library and that alley. Again, like I said earlier, you know, 807 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 7: we got to do more than just show up with 808 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 7: a gift card or trying to get a number from them. 809 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 7: We need to show up with a solution. And our 810 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 7: solution is available here in our city. Again, if we 811 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 7: just had the opportunity to engage our local officials with 812 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 7: the solutions that we utilize every day and what has 813 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 7: been sustaining us for fourteen years in this. 814 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: City, right, And I got a tweet question for you. 815 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: A tweeter says, mister Flowers, how many homeless people are 816 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: there on the streets of Baltimore. Are the families aware 817 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 1: that many of the loved ones are living on the streets? 818 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: Is there a way for folks to find them? And 819 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: let me just add since the person tweeted this, is 820 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: there a mechanism set up that you know, there's somebody's 821 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: homeless that you know ivin you and people are, you know, 822 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 1: looking for their loved ones and don't know if they're 823 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 1: on the streets. It's sort of repository where where the 824 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 1: city has or somebody has that knows that they're at 825 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: this shelter or this shelter or that. So I'll let 826 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,799 Speaker 1: you respond that question, and that my question at the bank. 827 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 7: So one of the things that we utilize, Carl, is 828 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 7: the homeless system, you know, because I have family calling 829 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 7: me looking for their loved ones, and the first thing 830 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,240 Speaker 7: I tell them is, let's reach out to the homeless 831 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 7: services portal. And when you think about the homeless services 832 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,879 Speaker 7: portal that should be more available. You could look at 833 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 7: the opportunity of people signing their name for bus tokens 834 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 7: for food, a dropping center. You know, I found that 835 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 7: to be a way of really helping families look for 836 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 7: their loved ones. And again, we don't always know the 837 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 7: trauma or the experience in that family that caused these 838 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 7: vigils to be out on the streets. And I say 839 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 7: that literally as a lived inspurious you know, I didn't 840 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 7: live under the bridge with some of these personalities and behaviors. 841 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 7: So sometime, you know, you're dealing with a generation of millenniums. 842 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,919 Speaker 7: You know, they've done things, attitudes, you know, made mind 843 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 7: running from home, or they feel like they want a 844 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 7: certain amount of independence, and then reality hits in real 845 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 7: quick when they find theirself and that shelter really not 846 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 7: being able to mend their family back. 847 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 3: Yeah. 848 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: But Minister Flowers, I just want to thank you for 849 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: the work that you do, but also your group needs help. 850 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: You're doing this alone. You're trying to feed the homeless, 851 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,959 Speaker 1: fine places for them to stay at night. It's got 852 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: to be taxing on you. So let me put the 853 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: bag on the family A family. You're out there and 854 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: you want to help, Minister Christina Flowers and start the 855 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,839 Speaker 1: year off, Well, this is what you should do.

It could be food, 858 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 1: it could be closed to help the people who look 859 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 1: like us, who are being ignored by the people who 860 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 1: we support, who represent us, whether it be at city 861 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 1: Hall or whether it be in Annapolis. And this happens 862 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 1: all over the country. By the way, you look at 863 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: the homeless money of it, many of them in different cities. 864 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,320 Speaker 1: I've been in LA.

Before we do that, uh, doctor Chiku, 934 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 1: we we have to we have to pay homage to 935 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: one of our one of our great inspirational leaders who 936 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: left us last week. And of course I'm talking about 937 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: doctor Charles Finch, who inspired a lot of work that 938 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,840 Speaker 1: y'all know that you do. He was he was a 939 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 1: repositive for a lot of information chematology. He was one 940 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: of these brilliant brothers. He was a medical doctor and 941 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 1: also a chematologist. Your thoughts on doctor Finch. 942 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 6: Oh Man, truly a master teacher, a saber and a 943 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 6: jugment and the best tradition of our ancestors who has 944 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 6: now come forth by day and made this transition into 945 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 6: the light. Doctor Finch was a monumental African. To use 946 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 6: the words of doctor Renoko Rashidi, Doctor Finch was a 947 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,439 Speaker 6: medical doctor by training, but he was so much more 948 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 6: than that. He wrote some of his early writings include 949 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:58,319 Speaker 6: the African Background of Medical Science, which he wrote that 950 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 6: and a number of other articles for doctor Ivan van 951 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:08,319 Speaker 6: Sertima's journal called the Journal of African Civilizations. Not only that, 952 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 6: but doctor Finch was a He was the director of 953 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,800 Speaker 6: International Medicine at Morehouse School of Medicine here in Atlanta 954 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 6: for many many years, and he was focused on traditional 955 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:24,959 Speaker 6: African healing, and so he brought traditional African healers from 956 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 6: Senegal to the United States for the first time and 957 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 6: had a huge healing ceremony in the Sea Islands of 958 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 6: South Carolina. In addition to that, the way that I 959 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 6: came to know doctor Finch was through the Jugna Collective, 960 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 6: which was a black educator state tank that was convened 961 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,399 Speaker 6: by doctor Asa Hilliard and doctor E. T. Hari Terre, 962 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 6: and so through that they would bring in different African 963 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 6: scholars like doctor Finch, and it was through that that 964 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,799 Speaker 6: I really got to know him and got to know 965 00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:02,359 Speaker 6: his work. Some of his eminal books include The Star 966 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,919 Speaker 6: of Deep Beginnings, The African Genesis of Science and Technology, 967 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 6: Echoes of the Old Dark Land, and then more recently 968 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:16,240 Speaker 6: before his passing, he wrote a four hundred page book 969 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:21,879 Speaker 6: called Now Valley Civilization, a ten thousand year history, and 970 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,399 Speaker 6: then lastly his last book that came out last year, 971 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 6: it was called African Medicine. But we are tremendously indebted 972 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 6: to his focus, to his scholarship, and he was just 973 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:41,400 Speaker 6: a wonderful person, very accessible and always willing to share 974 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 6: what he knew and point you in the direction that 975 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 6: you needed to go. 976 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I need shared with us too, he meant, shaken 977 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: to Jopp into car, tell us about that mean i' 978 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 1: let me just shout out brother Tony Braddle as well, 979 00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: because Brother Tony brought a Doctor Finch to one of 980 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:03,400 Speaker 1: our power Talk conversation and the crowd was just you know, 981 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 1: they just went crazy when they heard, many of them 982 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 1: seeing him for the first time they probably heard him 983 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 1: read it and read his books with actually see him 984 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 1: for the first time and hear what he had to say, So, 985 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 1: I want to shout out brother Tony for doing that, 986 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 1: because I know doctor Finch had a lot of influence 987 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: on his and his career as well. But tell us 988 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 1: about his meeting Shake on the Shop and and for 989 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 1: an expanded folks too who are un'tfamiliar with Shake on 990 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:27,280 Speaker 1: the Shop. 991 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 6: Absolutely they shout out to brother Tony Brown as well. 992 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 6: He has impacted millions studios work. Certainly he has had 993 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 6: a profound impact on me. But in terms of doctor 994 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 6: Shakedown to Dab, he was a singing Belize multi scholar. 995 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 6: So he was from the west coast of African Senegal, 996 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 6: and he was known for developing the melon in dosage test, 997 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 6: which allowed him to determine the fact that the royal 998 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:59,000 Speaker 6: mummies of ancient Kmmate or Egypt were in fact black people. 999 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 6: Uh And so as a part of his doctoral studies 1000 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 6: at the Sorbonne in Paris, he requested access to the 1001 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 6: royal mummies of Kimmid. They denied him for two years, 1002 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 6: but finally they relented and they gave him access to 1003 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 6: the royal mummies. And he said, I will take a 1004 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 6: skin sample, and I will take that skin sample put 1005 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:23,040 Speaker 6: it in a solution of applebenzoid, and when you shine 1006 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 6: a light upon it, it causes the melanocytes, the melanocytes 1007 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 6: are the cells that hold the melanin. It causes those 1008 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 6: melanocytes to become fluorescent. And you can literally look under 1009 00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 6: a microscope and count the number of melanicites to determine 1010 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,919 Speaker 6: the shade or skin tone of the person whose skin 1011 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 6: you're analyzing, because melanin doesn't degrade over time the last 1012 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 6: thousands and thousands of years, and so of course, through 1013 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 6: that he was able to determine that the ancient Kmetic 1014 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 6: people or ancient Egyptians were in fact black people. But 1015 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 6: what he also found was that when he was finally 1016 00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 6: given access to the mummies, that the skin of many 1017 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 6: of them had almost been completely scraped, meaning that the 1018 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 6: French had already performed the same experiment and come to 1019 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 6: the same conclusion, but they didn't publish their finding. That's 1020 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 6: why they didn't want to give him access to the 1021 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:23,400 Speaker 6: royal mummies. And so doctor Diapp was a multidisciplinarian. He 1022 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 6: was a master of many different subjects. He was a historian, 1023 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:33,120 Speaker 6: he was a linguist, he was a political scientist. He 1024 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,920 Speaker 6: was an activist who was actually thrown in jail for 1025 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 6: some of his political activism. He was a physicist, just 1026 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 6: a multidisciplinary genius in the same tradition of m Hotep, 1027 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 6: and doctor Charles Finch had the opportunity went out of 1028 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 6: his way to schedule a meeting with him. I want 1029 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 6: to say this was back in the eighties, and doctor 1030 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 6: Diopp was able to give doctor Finch a linguistic key 1031 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:06,040 Speaker 6: that allowed him to translate many words from Hebrew back 1032 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 6: into the original language of ancient Chemic, which was meta NEETI. 1033 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:15,120 Speaker 6: This allowed doctor Finch to read the Bible from a 1034 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 6: completely different perspective, understanding that many of the names actually 1035 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 6: derived from ancient comedic or Egyptian sources because of the 1036 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 6: linguistic key that doctor Finch gave him. So he records 1037 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 6: all of this in his book Echoes of the Old 1038 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 6: Dark Land. And so doctor Finch, I've used his research 1039 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 6: in so much of my work, from my doctoral dissertation 1040 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 6: to many of the books that I've written, I've been 1041 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:52,160 Speaker 6: able to cite his research to back up the claims 1042 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 6: that I'm making. So he was just a monumental African 1043 01:00:56,320 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 6: who was solely dedicated to our spiritual, scientific and technological 1044 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 6: uplift dose people. 1045 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 1: All right, hold that thought right there, we guys take 1046 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: a show when we come back there. I want you 1047 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 1: to tell the family what inspired you to write the 1048 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: African Origins of Our Faith? And how's it?

THE wall i actually have a background. 1084 01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 6: In ministry education is actually, my ministry so THAT'S why 1085 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 6: i don't tend to lead. With That but i've been 1086 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,600 Speaker 6: involved in ministry for over thirty, years now and so 1087 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 6: it kind of began.

Quest 1095 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 6: liberation and so we had brothers and sisters Who, were 1096 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 6: rastafarians we had some Who, were christians we had some Who. 1097 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,560 Speaker 6: Were muslims we had some who were more into The 1098 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 6: ancient kmetic tradition And traditional. African spirituality, and THEN like, 1099 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,000 Speaker 6: i said who weren't any?

The way and so it 1112 01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:04,120 Speaker 6: was a very interesting exchange and a very interesting dialogue 1113 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 6: that really imprinted on my heart and my spirit that 1114 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,960 Speaker 6: we needed to Have Some pan african principles of spiritual 1115 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 6: unity that allow us to work together, toward liberation regardless 1116 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:21,560 Speaker 6: of the religion or spiritual path that. We've chosen another 1117 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,960 Speaker 6: thing that inspired me to write the book is Doctor 1118 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,720 Speaker 6: Is Shaka, musaber shango who's written a number of wonderful 1119 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:32,760 Speaker 6: Books Like african People And european Holidays And, Mental Genocide, 1120 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 6: african Woman The Original.

Sacred, texts now that 1125 01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,040 Speaker 6: wasn't the subject of. His lecture he just mentioned it and. 1126 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,200 Speaker 6: Kept GOING but i got. STUCK there i, was on wait, 1127 01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 6: A minute i never heard that to all of the 1128 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 6: stories In the bible can be traced back To ancient african. 1129 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,880 Speaker 6: Sacred texts AND so i started doing some bigger than 1130 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,000 Speaker 6: doing some research and found that what he said. Was 1131 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 6: true and so In The african origins Of our, FAITH 1132 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:19,560 Speaker 6: book i have a comparative Table where i've taken fifty 1133 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 6: Five ancient african sacred texts and put them right Alongside 1134 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 6: the biblical scriptures that are saying the exact same thing 1135 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:34,720 Speaker 6: or sharing a, similar sentiment similar. Spiritual sentiment the difference 1136 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 6: is These ancient african sacred texts Predate the bible by 1137 01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 6: five hundred to one thousand or. More years AND while 1138 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 6: i took fifty five examples For, THE carl, i Literally 1139 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,560 Speaker 6: and i'm, NOT exaggerating i literally could have taken a. 1140 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 6: Thousand examples it was just. That EXTENSIVE but i didn't 1141 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 6: want to have, some big thick book that people wouldn't 1142 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,560 Speaker 6: read a one to keep it to a certain. Page 1143 01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 6: count and so what we've done is we, compiled that 1144 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 6: and then we gave some essays and some commentary on 1145 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 6: how these spiritual concepts were changed, over time how they 1146 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 6: were obscured and even buried in. Some cases and so 1147 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 6: it's been great eye opening for. The community many people 1148 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,240 Speaker 6: In The african center community were already aware, of this 1149 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,600 Speaker 6: but they didn't know. The details my book has. The 1150 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 6: details many of them may have been aware of it 1151 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:34,360 Speaker 6: but didn't have. The evidence my book has. The evidence 1152 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,040 Speaker 6: and then you have people Who are christian who He 1153 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,439 Speaker 6: gri israelites Who are muslims and, so forth who it's 1154 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,880 Speaker 6: helpful for them as well to see where many of 1155 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 6: these ideas originated that later show up in their. Sacred 1156 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,880 Speaker 6: texts and so it's been a wonderful exchange and again 1157 01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,960 Speaker 6: an opportunity for us to come together based on spiritual 1158 01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 6: principles that we can all. Agree on and so it's 1159 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,919 Speaker 6: it's been a blessing to see how. It's flourished even 1160 01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,960 Speaker 6: received a call last night from Down in texas uh 1161 01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 6: an invitation to come down there and share some information 1162 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 6: about it. 1163 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:15,280 Speaker 1: As well i'm happy that people are having an open 1164 01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,519 Speaker 1: mind when it comes to, this discussion because many people 1165 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 1: are so so wedded to. Their religion THAT'S the gk 1166 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 1: that they will not you know anything that, deviates that 1167 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 1: or tell them please have an. Open mind, you know 1168 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 1: our ancestors wrote many of the stuff that you're reading In, 1169 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,799 Speaker 1: the bible and it Predates, the bible predates the. Printing 1170 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 1: press so what, you're hearing we're not saying for you 1171 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:37,880 Speaker 1: to abandon. Your religion this IS what i, tell him 1172 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 1: and correct me if i'm we're not telling you about 1173 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 1: whether you Mentioned The high Faith or rastafarian or some 1174 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,640 Speaker 1: of the other FRINGE and i call, them fringe and 1175 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 1: they'll be probably upset me for calling them that that kind. 1176 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 1: Of religion because we Have The faith brothers who come 1177 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 1: on here regularly and one, Of Them, dr edmonds he, 1178 01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,800 Speaker 1: teaches religion so he's versed in all the, really religions 1179 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: including he Knows about ISAs and peru and all. Of 1180 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,599 Speaker 1: that he knows About. Ancient egyptians but he still Clings. 1181 01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 1: To christianity he's still and that's, you know but. That's 1182 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: cool that's. His THING and i, always say if it works, 1183 01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,080 Speaker 1: for you please don't. Leave it, you KNOW when i 1184 01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,000 Speaker 1: tell you to adopt the, new religion we just want 1185 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 1: you to be aware of where it all. Started FROM 1186 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 1: am i correct in saying that to some. 1187 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:30,160 Speaker 6: Their, Listeners yes so this is where my training as 1188 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 6: a teacher is, very helpful because how you teach something 1189 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 6: is as important as what. You're teaching, and, so yeah 1190 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,240 Speaker 6: there are a lot of people who would immediately be 1191 01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 6: turned off if you don't present this in a manner 1192 01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 6: that they can, receive it and so how we do 1193 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 6: that is. Very important one of the first things is 1194 01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,880 Speaker 6: not to weaponize. This information i've seen where some people 1195 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,759 Speaker 6: take this knowledge and information and kind of beat people 1196 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 6: over the head with it and make them feel bad 1197 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,559 Speaker 6: for what they believe in different things. Like that that's 1198 01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 6: not my approach because we like for people to have. 1199 01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 6: Their dignity. 1200 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 4: I'll. 1201 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,360 Speaker 6: NEVER forget i once heard a lecture By Doctor milana 1202 01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,960 Speaker 6: kringa where he said it's more important to win the 1203 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:23,639 Speaker 6: person than, the point because if you win, the person 1204 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,400 Speaker 6: you can always come back and discuss. The point but 1205 01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 6: if you lose, the person then you'll never get a 1206 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 6: chance to make. The point and the whole purpose is 1207 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,920 Speaker 6: to win. The person And so i'm not after agreement by, 1208 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:42,360 Speaker 6: The car i'm. After understanding i'm gonna say that AGAIN 1209 01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,120 Speaker 6: because i really want people to. Hear this i'm not 1210 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:49,360 Speaker 6: expecting people to agree with EVERYTHING that. I say i'm not. 1211 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:55,280 Speaker 6: After agreement i'm, after understanding because if you just take 1212 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:59,400 Speaker 6: the time to listen and understand, my perspective you may 1213 01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 6: not agree, with it but, you say, YOU know i 1214 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,360 Speaker 6: hear what the brother, is SAYING and i in turn 1215 01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,800 Speaker 6: have to have that same understanding to be able to 1216 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 6: listen to people, and say, you know that's an. Interesting 1217 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 6: perspective here's. My perspective but AT least i understand where 1218 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,440 Speaker 6: you're coming from and why you're coming from. This perspective 1219 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 6: so that's a very very important part of this kind 1220 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 6: of dialogue because people are very serious about what they 1221 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:28,160 Speaker 6: believe and why they, believe IT and i have a 1222 01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 6: lot of energy and emotion tied. Into that so we're 1223 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:35,760 Speaker 6: not trying to take away with what. Anybody believes i'll 1224 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 6: give you another quick example of how it kind of 1225 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 6: became clear, from Me. 1226 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,200 Speaker 11: Brother carl in. 1227 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 6: My early walk As, A christian i was told to 1228 01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,320 Speaker 6: Read The, new testament and so THAT'S what.

Old testament so a lot 1232 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,920 Speaker 6: of saying a lot of things, that yes You're or 1233 01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,000 Speaker 6: jesus says In The, new testament he's actually Quoting The. 1234 01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:14,960 Speaker 6: Old testament so to fully Understand The, new testament you 1235 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 6: have to Understand The.

For people so one of the things 1483 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,400 Speaker 6: that's very very important to understand anytime we talk About 1484 01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,760 Speaker 6: ancient kimate Or. Ancient egypt. 1485 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:12,200 Speaker 3: AS. 1486 01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:16,000 Speaker 6: DOCTOR. A s hillier, taught us The Entire nile Valley 1487 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:20,679 Speaker 6: of africa was. High, tech okay so You, Had, kimmitt 1488 01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 6: Nubia and cush what Today, Is, Egypt, Sudan egypt Sudan. And, 1489 01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:34,439 Speaker 6: ethiopia okay what Makes kimm It significant since all of 1490 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,679 Speaker 6: the entire non valley empires were high tech and. Deeply 1491 01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:42,440 Speaker 6: spiritual Is that kimmit did the best job of preserving 1492 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:47,960 Speaker 6: that knowledge through, their writings through, their monuments through the 1493 01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 6: inscriptions on the, temple walls and different things of. That Nature. 1494 01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:53,680 Speaker 15: So, kimmit. 1495 01:27:55,439 --> 01:28:01,439 Speaker 6: So, For Example george massi Says that africa is, the 1496 01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:06,200 Speaker 6: Birthplace but egypt is. The mouthpiece kimmit is. The, mouthpiece 1497 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:10,600 Speaker 6: However kimm it couldn't be the mouthpiece were it Not, 1498 01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:15,280 Speaker 6: for ethiopia which in ancient times Is called Kush and 1499 01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,880 Speaker 6: nubia Present. Day sudan very very important that we understand 1500 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:25,479 Speaker 6: how Critical these african origins are as a matter. 1501 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:26,120 Speaker 9: Of fact. 1502 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,000 Speaker 6: And this is why the lens with which we Read 1503 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:35,160 Speaker 6: the bible is so very. Very important because when you 1504 01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:40,519 Speaker 6: look in the second Chapter, of genesis, it said and 1505 01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 6: a river went Out of eden to water. The garden 1506 01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:48,920 Speaker 6: the name of the first River. Is, pishan well that 1507 01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:51,800 Speaker 6: might not mean much to people until you realize That 1508 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 6: the pishan is Really The White. Nile river it's one 1509 01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 6: of the tributaries Of The, nile river which of course 1510 01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:00,960 Speaker 6: is the longest river in the world and runs through Chemic. 1511 01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:04,400 Speaker 6: Or egypt the name of the second River. Is, Gihan 1512 01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,559 Speaker 6: again giehan doesn't mean much until you realize that it's 1513 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:12,240 Speaker 6: referring To The, blue nile another tributary Of. The nile 1514 01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:15,200 Speaker 6: and then it says the same as that which compasses 1515 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:19,720 Speaker 6: the whole Land. Of ethiopia So the biblical scriptures in 1516 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:25,760 Speaker 6: and of themselves situate us and start Us. In africa this, 1517 01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:29,160 Speaker 6: is very very different than the PICTURES that i saw 1518 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 6: in The children's bible that my grandmother sent ME when 1519 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,559 Speaker 6: i was six. Years OLD and i loved, my GRANDMOTHER 1520 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,719 Speaker 6: and i give thanks and poor livation for. My grandmother 1521 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,479 Speaker 6: that's what she had at, that time and that's what she, 1522 01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:45,479 Speaker 6: passed on that was what. She knew and she said 1523 01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:49,720 Speaker 6: she taught us that no person is educated until they Know. 1524 01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,519 Speaker 6: The bible AND so i took. That seriously AND when 1525 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 6: i started digging Into, the bible it took me back to. 1526 01:29:56,280 --> 01:30:00,240 Speaker 6: The motherland and so it's very very important that we 1527 01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:04,000 Speaker 6: do our. Due diligence and here Again the bible says 1528 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:08,639 Speaker 6: study to show. Thyself, approved right a lot of times 1529 01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:11,160 Speaker 6: we're not doing.

Called in but we 1531 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:19,560 Speaker 6: really need to help our people to see themselves in 1532 01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 6: the text that, they're reading and to critically examine. Those 1533 01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:28,240 Speaker 6: texts don't just accept them as, space value but to 1534 01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:32,880 Speaker 6: See what spirit is saying to us uniquely as a 1535 01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:35,200 Speaker 6: people in these times that we're. 1536 01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 1: LIVING in i think that's deep what you.

The 1612 01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:49,240 Speaker 6: world so when you talk, about canon that's more Of 1613 01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:54,160 Speaker 6: a european construct. Or idea but there were a number 1614 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 6: of sacred texts In ancient kenmid that were that were 1615 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:01,680 Speaker 6: agreed upon to be. Sacred texts we just have to 1616 01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:05,440 Speaker 6: be very very careful in our comparisons To what europeans 1617 01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:10,280 Speaker 6: did with what they regarded as. Sacred texts i'm reminding 1618 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:16,439 Speaker 6: the Words Of, jomo kenyata Or the President, of kenya 1619 01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:21,160 Speaker 6: who said When the, Europeans came when the, missionaries came 1620 01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 6: they Had the bible and we had. The land they 1621 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:29,519 Speaker 6: taught us to pray with our, eyes closed and when 1622 01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:33,639 Speaker 6: we opened, our eyes we Had the bible and they had. 1623 01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:35,479 Speaker 10: The land i'm. 1624 01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:37,040 Speaker 6: Gonna say that AGAIN because i want to make sure 1625 01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:40,599 Speaker 6: that people. Got this So when kenyada Said, in kenya 1626 01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:47,120 Speaker 6: When the european, missionaries came that they Had the bible 1627 01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,080 Speaker 6: and we had. The land they taught us to pray 1628 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:53,680 Speaker 6: with our. Eyes closed when we opened, our eyes we 1629 01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,880 Speaker 6: Had the bible and they had. The land so we 1630 01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,439 Speaker 6: have to recognize how religion has been used as a 1631 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:05,639 Speaker 6: tool of suppression and white. Supremacy ideology that doesn't mean 1632 01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 6: throw Away. The bible that means go back to the 1633 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:13,479 Speaker 6: origins of it to find out who wrote it and 1634 01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:16,599 Speaker 6: what in it belongs. To us and a great deal 1635 01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 6: of it does belong. To us so these are some 1636 01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,080 Speaker 6: of the things that we need to be made, aware 1637 01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:27,439 Speaker 6: of otherwise we continue to serve other people's interests rather 1638 01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:28,799 Speaker 6: than the most highs interest. 1639 01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:29,479 Speaker 4: In us. 1640 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:33,320 Speaker 1: Ah shay to that that sums.

Jury to hear IT so that's why. I 1976 01:55:51,680 --> 01:55:56,000 Speaker 4: anticipate winning this whether whether or not a trial court 1977 01:55:56,160 --> 01:55:59,560 Speaker 4: can can permit or dismiss a case. Where there's enough 1978 01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:03,120 Speaker 4: evidence that's where jury can decide and where a judge should. 1979 01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:06,000 Speaker 4: Not be stepping in and that's why you know we 1980 01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:12,720 Speaker 4: as civil and constitutional, or police brutality lawyers.
