  1. Why is ABLP new Cathedral and Indoctrination Center on Nuggent Ave built on Our Ancestors Burial Ground?
    Gaston and our government only give lip service and photo ops to the memories of Our African Ancestors and their stories.
    ORAL HUSTORY MUST be a part of pre-K to High School, taught in other languages of Our Ancestors besides English!

    Dem Jumbee shuddah haunt de Labour Church.
    Theyโ€™re #FAKESTERS!
