BARACK OBAMA FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
|
Posted By: agnes levine on November 08, 2008 All over the place are books, t-shirts, and momentos of all sorts celebrating the landmark, landslide Obama victory for change! We know that we have a lot of work to do and cannot rely on November 4, 2008, to end all of our country's woes. We also know that we have climbed up to a new level of responsibility as African-Americans. A barrier has been brought down and we must take that seriously in the most positive way. Literature! Another responsibility we have is to commit to teaching our children the fundamentals of the values our ancestors left us. We must commit to assuring that our future does not "unintentionally" take us backwards. It is a new day for African-Americans in America and we will not overcome the significance and impact this historic day shall mean forever. African-American literature! We have to write about November 4, 2008, for the children not even here yet. We have to become the driving force to keep them focused on continuing the legacy and not ending it. That is why printed words are absolutely mandatory! Those printed words last forever and we have the responsibility to write those words with love, humanity, hope, and inspiration by telling our stories about this time in America. We are the story tellers in a whole new way! We are the Griots in a whole new way! We must be proud and uninhibited to express our thoughts, feelings, and actions that will hold the key for so many little brothers and sisters to turn for tomorrow. We must entice young minds as well as youthful ones and we must include the power of African-Americans to hold office without limiting them to doctors and lawyers, sports, comedy. We must write about community involvement and brotherly love. We must write to our little sisters about respecting our brothers and uplifting our sons as a team destined to stay on top. We must write and write and write in genres once closed to us and create a legacy of African-American Authors capable of bridging America forever! Can you commit to leaving our sons and daughters literature that shook America up and fostered infinite change? Agnes B.
