On this day in 1830, The National Negro Convention, a group of 38 free African Americans from eight states met in Philadelphia, PA with the express purpose of abolishing slavery and improving the social status of African Americans. I thought how ironic that 177 years later we are still fighting for justice and improving the social status of African Americans. I am not in Jena, LA today but my prayers and spirit is with every person that is present and trying to improve our lives. I will have on my Black because, this is truly a Black Thursday in America Today. It makes me proud and sad at the same time to be an African American on this day.
FREE THE JENA SIX!!!!
