Hi! I love your work, BLACK POWER!!! I talked to a kid from Ghana for ten years until he entered university. Together, we faced all sorts of milestones. He braved ants to talk to me because he had to climb a sand dune to get adequate reception at night. I saw his mother taking care of several families. We talked by video. He finally found his father who is the chief of a major tribe and now owns a milling store which he gave his son charge over! His name is Ransford Adomah and he needed a new cell phone but said the African government is so corrupt, he was afraid they might confiscate it. BUT we went through MANY MANY "safe" avenues to prevent and he did finally receive! He told me of many black heroes not known in America nor anywhere else and I realized we HAVE to FREE Africa from their corrupt system! The people gather by hundreds at a table outside just to charge their cell phones on certain days! I've lost all from Ransford during a hard reset and since he has graduated from university, I want him to live his life independently. I still have sketches of him I drew he laughed at but loved. If I was rich I would have adopted him but by our standards, I am poor as well. HAPPY BLACK HISTORY LIFE! It's not just a month or day or week!
Much love and respect to the freedom fighters that have come and gone. And the civil rights activists all over the world. To the visionaries - past, present and future. Great tribute Belle79.
