A MOTHER AND HER CHILD




A Mother and her Child is a co-existence that no one can understand. It is a co-existence that begins at the time of conception and continues until her last breath is taken. She holds that Child in her womb, nurturing, loving, and caring for it's life until the day that life makes it's introduction into the world.
From that Earth Day forward, a Mother does her best to continue to nurture, love and care for that Child with all that she has. She prays through the trials and tribulations and awaits the milestones, cherishing all accomplishments and accolades, Giving Thanks to the Creator consistently. 
No Mother is ever prepared to have their Child transition before she does, especially the way that Trayvon Martin's has.
I ask the Creator Divine and the African Ancestors to guide, strengthen, carry, and hold close the Parents, Family, Friends, and Supporters of Trayvon, as we fight to see Justice in his tragic death. 

In the meantime, let us ALL hold our children near and dear to our hearts as we Stand Up for Trayvon Martin!

OATH TO OUR ANCESTORS
By Pastor Ray Hagins


O Ancestors! Blacker than a thousand midnights…
Afrikan Ancestors! It is to YOU that we, your children, give respect and honor.


O Ancestors! We call upon YOU and welcome you in this place…
Afrikan Ancestors! Let your presence fill this place.


O Ancestors! Who have been purposely excluded from the history books, so that the world would not know of your greatness…


Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave civilization to the world…
Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave the arts to the world…
Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave music to the world…
Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave the sciences to the world…
Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave mathematics to the world…
Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave medicine to the world…
Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave literature to the world…
Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave philosophy to the world…
Our Afrikan Ancestors! Who gave God consciousness to the world…


O Ancestors! We thank you for devoting your life to make a future for us, your children, grand children, and great grandchildren.


Now, stand with us; strengthen us; guide us; teach us, and protect us from the snare of our enemies!


Rise up, O Afrikan Ancestors, and let our enemies be scattered! And give us the wisdom and the boldness to deal with our oppressors and those who would hinder the liberation and empowerment of our people.


Rise up, O Afrikan Ancestors, and live in us.


We will not fail to honor you;
We will not fail to respect you;
We will not fail to hear you;
And we will NOT betray you!
