thank you,for posting this. I saw alot of change in the 60's and 70's. my mother owned a recored store across the street from the Black Panthers in Seattle Wa. She taught me all about equality and kindness to all of gods children. She was a single black woman who raised two mixed raced kids myself and my brother and taught us compassion and tollerance. This is the first song I remember knowing by heart. It brings a smile to my face!

RIP C M . . . You are truelly missed in this world ! ! ! The Black Panthers burned down my school when I was 12 yrs old. The Lincoln Memorial JR High School in the birth place of the KKK in the city of Forrest City, Arkansas. Done in protest for the right to be free and equal to all mankind and for the right to be non-segregated or not. Then came the Hells Angels, hired by the USA Government to come in and Try to put anyone down low who was not White /Right. The angels got their axes shipped and deservingly so. They were once considered elite military unit sworn to uphold the USA Constitution, instead they became some of the lowest of the low. I watched that town riot out and an Indian dude and a black dude was hung to death from a pole for being in mixed race relationships. It got much worse before it got better ! ! ! The National Guard ended those days of human self destruction and carnage, but I believe it was GOD who ended those days and happenings ! ! ! You know that General Nathan Bedford Forrest created the KKK and he also came to renounce it and all it's EViL ! ! ! Is the world and people's in it really any better these days as in any other times before them ? ? ? I am Native American, European and Afrikan, some 23 & me information there, but I am so much more, a work always in progress just as is those in the future to come . . . They tried to make me be a who what where when why and how come at their say so and command, but I held and still hold to my rights as set fourth in the USA Constitution and the Bill Of Rights as upheld by the USA Supreme Court which what is bound on Earth is bound in Heaven . . . FREEDOM, Noone nor Nothing will ever be able to take my soul, for it belongs only to GOD, my Pledge Of Allegiance, AMEN ! ! ! 😎🎸🌹DDH 12-2-2019.
