ONE THOUGHT OR TWO
“A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”
Congratulations on your 101 years of excellence!
Respect and honor Mrs. Theresa Therese Dublin, SGOE (Senior Grandparent Order of Excellence)!
Our native, venerable, noble Centenarians, descendants of our enslaved, heroic African ancestors had few and no choices within the economic and education systems of colonialism and slavery to earn a living:”Washing, cleaning, working in the canefield and picking cotton.”
Their labor produced the economic wealth and cultural benefits of our colonizers who purposely propagated their social ‘superiority’ behavior.
Our Centenarians survived by practicing the fundamental economic principle: “Eat a little, save a little, spend a little.”
And, their African spirituality internalized hope of a better life, faith, by using the church’s organized religion.
We often ask about the longevity and health of our Centenarians.
The Council of Centenarians declare unequivocally they ate daily traditional foods of ‘ground provisions, herbs and fruits’ and observed the mental and physical health benefits from their ‘clinical trials.’
They confirmed for themselves that plant-heavy foods from the soil, medicinal herbs, fruits, daily activity – exercise – sleep were needed to survive. They are our survivors!
“The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth and he that is wise will not abhor them.”
Let us interact with humility, grace, honesty, good intentions!…..Be nice to each other!
Save our Humanity, Save our Youths, Save our Environment, Save our Soil!!!
Respect
