She:kon! ( pronounced say gon) Means Hello! in Mohawk.

We hope this email finds you well and in good spirits. This month of November is Native American Heritage Month. Last week's topic was Native American and Black Solidarity against Oppression and Control. We briefly examined the historical similarities, coalitions and divisions that existed between Native Americans and Black People from the time Columbus set foot on land in the Western Hemisphere. The tears, sorrow, joy and victories that we jointly shared in our quest to free ourselves from Oppression and slavery. How can we talk about reparations unless we include our Indigenous brothers and sisters?? Something to think about.

This week we are honored to have the Former Minister of Culture of the Black Panther Party and Cultural Artist Extraordinaire Emory Douglas as our guest presenter. Emery has engaged with people all over the world. He will share his amazing journey with us. Emory has received a lifetime achievement award and has created PR posters for some major motion pictures that you may be familiar with. I am not going to divulge the details until the session on Saturday!! Get ready for an unbelievable session of knowledge growth and sharing. If you want to invite family and friends please let us know so they can join us. See you Saturday!
