Take A Stroll with Cecile Emeke and the African Diaspora 2024

Back in 2015 I made this post.

 Cecile Emeke is still at it. The Young Black Voice. 

The Strolling series by the young producer Cecile Emeke is, in my opinion,
one of the best things to happen in Black media in recent years. Ms Emeke is in the
act of combining the power of social media with her knack for video storytelling
and presenting the voices of young articulate and efflorescent Black people from
various localities (so far in Europe). She is giving them the opportunity to
freely express their feelings with regard to the various cultures that they find
themselves at once immersed in and excluded from. The series is not only one of
the few outlets that allows these young people to vent their feelings but at the
same time it demonstrates clearly their diversity. Each subject has his or her
own unique story about their impressions and experiences in their particular
society which, I feel, were very well told. I see that this is a work in
progress and I hope we will all recognize and support this effort for the
valuable service that it brings to the people of the African diaspora wherever
we find ourselves. I also hope that the series will stimulate others to share
their talents with us while creating works that unify us to the same degree as
Cecile Emeke is doing. I am so impressed with the work this young woman is
doing. I hope we are sharing these videos to the max.
It looks like you will have a chance to experience this series on youtube.
It appears that she wants to relaunch the series.

To Fred Hampton

Fredrick Allen Hampton Sr. (August 30, 1948 – December 4, 1969)

In the Tumultuous Embrace 

 

 In the heart of Chicago, where dreams meet strife, 

 A leader emerged, a voice for black life. 

 Fred Hampton, his name, a symbol of might, 

 The Chairman of Panthers, the beacon of light. 

 Born '48, in Baton Rouge's land, 

 Where a seed of purpose took root and did stand. 

 From humble beginnings, his spirit did rise, 

 To challenge injustice with unyielding eyes. 

 A charismatic orator, words flowed like a stream, 

 Inspiring the masses to rise from the dream. 

 Organizing the people, awakening the soul, 

 Fred Hampton's fire engulfed the whole. 

 In the concrete jungles, where hope was unseen, 

 He fought for equality, a vision so keen. 

 He fed the hungry, uplifted the poor, 

 For justice and freedom, he opened the door. 

 With the Black Panther Party by his side, 

 Fred Hampton fought tirelessly, never to hide. 

 He spoke of unity, across colors and creeds, 

 Championing justice, planting empowering seeds. 

 But forces unseen felt threatened by his power, 

 The establishment's fear grew with each passing hour. 

 On a fateful December night, darkness befell, 

 As tragedy struck, a story too cruel to tell. 

 In the depths of slumber, innocence embraced, 

 An act of betrayal shattered the sacred space. 

 The life of a leader, cut short in its prime, 

 Silenced by bullets in the hands of a crime. 

 But his spirit, unyielding, continued to soar, 

 Inspiring generations, forevermore. 

 Fred Hampton's legacy, in the annals of time, 

 A reminder of courage, in the face of the crime. 

 In the echoes of struggle, his voice shall remain, 

 A call for justice, an eternal refrain. 

 We honor his memory, as we march hand in hand, 

 For the dreams he ignited, shall forever withstand. 

 Though stolen from us, in the prime of his might, 

 Fred Hampton's flame burns ever so bright. 

 In the fight for freedom, we carry his name, 

 In the pursuit of justice, we'll never be tamed. 

 In the tumultuous embrace of history's plight, 

 Fred Hampton's spirit shall forever take flight. 

 And as we march onward, in the quest to be free, 

 We'll remember his vision, for unity we decree.

Poverty, racism and militarism. It seems like America still has a way to go.
