Watching this trial is beyond traumatic. Black people, take care of each other. We are worthy of care and compassion. Our presence is a miracle and a living testament of our ancestor’s power.

Patch up the bucket! Familyhood is driven by two motto's 1) Every school shall have a functioning Student Gov't Assoc, Parent Teacher Assoc, and Alumni Assoc. Let these organizations function and train new members! Patch up the bucket with functioning membership based org's!

Why do we close our schools? They should stay open 24/7. Between the student leaders, alumni, parents, community partners, schools have enough people engaged to administer classes/lectures day and night for the entire community. My book outlines this: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/02…

After learning the alphabet, all students should learn democracy. Not from just a book, but hands on! Let them elect officers. Let them campaign /share their ideas for positive change. Let them hear the concerns of those they represent. Tomorrow, they will be prepared to lead.

Why invent a new wheel? Schools have the org's already there. But in our communities we hardly use them. Yes, this by design. But we have to re-design it. Traditionally, African people have moved forward inter-generationally. Youth, Parents, Grand -parents together! #Familyhood
