Been reading about a black woman who raised her seven children to integrate in the white system in 1970’s Mississippi.
It must have been so hard as the segregation was out right clear as other people were determined to fight tooth and nail against integration of the black people in society.
Just thinking about how many people were not as bold and motivated as she to do their level best to catch up with the top dogs. I am not sure I would have been that determined with everything so against and in the way of any possibilities and yet she did it.
Without thinking about what I should or not have done just want to thank God that I live in a time where there is no segregation where my limitations are not based on race. In addition, am just so grateful for all those men of power you put in place that fought for the redemption of people of colour to be treated just as all people.
Deep within me I can’t help but believe just like the animals in Animal farm put it, “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others” However regardless of my prejudices am thankful that you enabled the times we live in to recognise that all people regardless of race deserve to be treated equally.
