UP YOU MIGHTY FOLK - WE CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE WILL!

UP YOU MIGHTY FOLK - WE CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE WILL!

If not now - when? If not with Obama - with whom?

"This is Elder Educator Carol Taylor, America's First Black Flight Attendant, Mother, Grand Mother, calling on all people of good will and good conscience to help us erase racism/colorism. Now's the best time we ever had to: back up bigotry, kick out the KKK, reverse racism/colorism, destroy discrimination!

Barack Obama's appointed Barbadian Eric Holder as the top law enforcer - now's the time for us to organize like Stokely Kame Ture repeatedly told us - do diligence, stop the cops from killing our kids, join with our journey 4 justice, drop in on www.Discussrace.com - experience the excitement of taking the test - www.racismtest.org, share the sureness that we'll get there together.

Remember

MARCUS
MARTIN
MALCOM
MEDGAR
McCLEOD
MARLEY &
MANDELA!

We the people will prevail

NOW'S THE TIME TO RALLY 'ROUND THE RIGHTEOUSNESS!

Let's talk: Call me, Carol, at 856 1271 - right here in the Republic of Brooklyn!"
