ABSTRACT
“We are the last generation who remember the power of viable Black communities. We were raised near or by grandparents who did not buy into desegregation and the quest for wealth, because they couldn’t. They were from another time. Ironically, it was for them that our parents fought against the system, and later it was for us. But who are we fighting for? We need to wake up and realize that those that come after us do not have the privilege of our ancestral knowledge. Why are we content to let them wander in the dark?”
