Dear friends, there's a very important piece of history I'll like to share with you which concerns you.
On December 1, 1955, a middle-aged "negro
woman" in America, Mrs. Rosa Parks, refused to stand up for a young
white man who just entered the segregated bus she was ridding in. If she
did, she would have had to stand all through the journey.
At that time, the bus is segregated in most
parts of America: white people sit in front rows and black people sit
from the back. Blacks would normally pay fare to the driver in the
front, then step out of the bus and go through the back door to find a
place in an already tight area at the back. If the allocated spaces for
blacks are filled, all other blacks joining the bus would have to stand
even when the more than half of the bus spaces reserved for whites are
empty! Such was the injustice and humiliation that black Americans faced
then.
For refusing to stand up for the young white
man, Mrs Rosa Parks was immediately arrested, scheduled for prosecution
on Monday December 5. Then the Rev. Martins Luther King and his NAACP
comrades stepped in. They called out the people. They spoke about the
sad realities of their existence, the terror of an unjust system and
barbaric treatments in the hands of fellow Americans.
In addition to speaking out, these Black
Americans decided to take action to protest that injustice by boycotting
the segregated buses. The boycott began December 6, 1955.
Dear friends, here is the crux of the matter:
Black Americans took action! For 1 year and 16 days, *they trekked to
and from work or boarded improvised pooled taxes, everyday*, until the
US supreme courts declared segregation unconstitutional!
During the struggle, someone offered one
tired black woman a lift in his pool car, but she declined, saying, *"l
ain't trekking for myself, but for my children and grandchildren "*!
So, dear friends, whenever we don’t take
action and we feel unobligated, unconcerned,* we should simply remember
the black Americans and those women. Without them, the freedom that US
enjoys today wouldn't have happened, or happened too late.
Obama may not have become the President of US.
So, the questions before all of us now are:
Are we live slaves to LRC? Are you ready to trek for yourself and your
generation yet unborn as the black Americans did? Are we willing to do
our own little bits to liberate ourselves, children and future
generations and the Republic of Ambazonia from
colonialism,bondage,slavery,servitude, etc? Are we ready to act?
If the answers are in the affirmative, then
the time to act is now.Let's all raise as one man and fight LRC till
total liberation. God is with us.
A LUTA CONTINUA,VICTORIA ASCERTA.
