Greetings Jeanne, I was so happy to see you my "revolutionary petunia"...It was indeed a day to remember but it still smacks of structural violence, nevertheless I did participate so......

Anyway, friend, mentor, sister, I really thought these two quotes were appropriate:

  • "Up you mighty race, you can accomplish what you will." - Marcus Garvey

  • "To struggle and battle and overcome and absolutely defeat every force designed against us is the only way to achieve." - Nanny Burroughs

The first is for all of us, regardless of race, creed or color. The second is symbolic of the battles you've fought and taught us to fight. Have a wonderful summer...by the way will you be around next semester?

Peace and Blessings,
Malika
