June 4, 1865...

It was June ---the summer --- the 4th of June --- to be exact --- 1865 --- UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Millions of people were let out of the shackles of slavery.

"...Where do we go?"


2006. I am going to see as much of the world as possible. "How you like that!?" great ancestors. "Am I doing you proud?" Just gonna live day by day doing what I want to do! "How's that!?"

You know for a while I was never all that proud to say I am of slave ancestry but I am now, I so am! I am a living breathing fruit of the tenacity, strength, and power of a great people. What's wrong with that?! If I were Latin I would be waving a flag every chance I got too! Unfortunately, we have no flag to wave. Well, the USA flag -- which even though it (the US)has its faults. It is built by millions of immigrants and a large portion the labor of my people. It didnt turn out bad, huh?

I dont want to go on and on about this. Just suffuce to say that instead of trying to figure out how much white I have in my bloodstream, or what native american runs thru me -- I now am more interested in how Black I am and how can I find out who my Black (African) ancestors were. Is it impossible to know exactly? Maybe. But I will forever continue to live their dreams. I will travel the world, love without fear, and LIVE, just LIVE....LIVE with reckless abandon...
