My Dear Alabama! I'm shining a spotlight on the "hidden figures" of untaught history who deserve to be celebrated for their contributions to the world. Shirley Chisholm, the FIRST African American Woman in Congress and Democratic Party's presidential nominee. #BlackHistoryMonth

My Dear Alabama, Senator Hiram Revels became the first African American Congressman of the United States in 1870. Born in North Carolina, he was an educator in Kansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Also, he was a preacher who served in the Civil War as a chaplain. #BlackHistoryMatters

Good morning, My Dear Alabama! So, our civil government doesn't want Black History taught. Don't wait for them to tell US what to teach our children. Parents of African Descent, teach your children because YOU have the authority to do so and skin that cat! #BlackHistoryMonth

Great evening,My Dear Alabama! Today marks the first day of Black History Month, and we began it reading about the funeral of a young man by the name of Tyre Nichols. I'm wrestling with the atrocious behavior MY Black Nation tends to display daily. It hurts!#BlackHistoryMonth

Good Saturday morning and Happy Sabbath, My Dear Alabama! There's a gospel song entitled, "Oooo Weee, Another Blessing!"by Lee Williams. A simple title so, but the words are powerful. That's how I feel right now. GOD didn't have to do it, but HE did! #GodsPlan #Proverbs3

My Dear Alabama, I couldn't sleep. I found myself speaking into the atmosphere, "God's going to heal you! He's going to make you better! Hang in there! Don't be discouraged! Remember, HE will make your feet like deer's feet, and make you walk on high hills. ❤️ #TruthBeTold

My Dear Alabama, cime in Birmingham is off the scale and so is Gun violence.
Giving permission to carry guns without a permit, when there's no war, is asinine. My people, the Blacks and the poor, are killing each other and Civil Government doesn't care. #GUNviolence

My Dear Alabama! There are too many of our incarcerated citizens dying of "Natural Causes" in our prisons! What is ADOC doing to our people? We, the citizens, need answers. After all, our tax paying dollars insist on it. I hope our government is not responsible. #TruthMatters

Good Sunday morning,My Dear Alabama! FOOD FOR THOUGHT:Why is it important to take frequent inventory of your heart? Because out of the heart come evil thoughts-- murder, adultery, sexual immorality, etc. If we do it, that saves God time. #government #AlabamaFuture

My Dear Alabama, I would like to know how hard is it for the civil government to take control of the gun problems we're having in our country? The Civil Government is to protect the well-being of us all not cater to organizations and parties that deny us protection. #CivilWar3
