African American Celebration 2015 Haven of Rest

2/25/2015
Today I must have done something right.  I have a pip appointment; I was able to attend the African American Celebration held at the Heaven of Rests.  This is their 23 celebration, and I was allowed a Large Fried Chicken Breast, a Large Piece of Fried Whiting Fish, and a good portion of Mac, and Cheese like mama made.
It feels a little raw to be outside looking in; but right now this is the safest place to be.  I will concentrate my energies on the University of Akron.  The evil ones look as though they are winning, but do not be dismayed.
Today; one of the people that continually attempts to interact with me, was on stage at the Haven of Rest.  The African American Celebration was an acknowledgement of something; I’m just not sure what it was.  There was drumming, and singing, and speaking.
There was a white drummer, singing was too loud, speaker almost ran out of time before he actually said something worth listening to.  I heard something about African American Celebration, and then God.  Then the celebration was over.
It would have been nice to hear about some kind of African, or Black person, that has done, or is doing something in the community to empower the African.  That did not happen.  We need to educate out people and stop depending on this type of thing.
Don’t get me wrong.  Celebration is good.  Free is good, but our children need to know that we have to work hard for things.  Money is the way, and reason our children don’t have anything.  Free is not good because we will never know our worth.
