Gentle-hearted, not easily provoked, slow to anger, ready to forgive. Being meek, as defined in Judeo-Christian scripture, differs from its common understanding outside of its biblical interpretation. Its understanding in scripture is connected with one of the qualities of being the sons and daughters of God. Its scriptural application from the LORD describes the word as being gentle of heart unto others, submissive unto God, and humble in all of ones ways; an intelligently, aware understanding that is outwardly good and inwardly producing continued peace in the heart and mind. Moses was well-known for being meek. George Washington, though he was a soldier all his life, was meek, as can be directly understood from his writings. Abigail Adams was meek. Frederick Douglass was meek. Abraham Lincoln was meek. George Washington Carver was exceedingly meek. Ronald Reagan was meek. What is written is said as a placement of a landmark; a position to proclaim within our schools, family homes, a...

      And so as a national community, we do not have the peace of mind & heart that should be and we don’t have momentum as it should be on making America a more perfect union because the passion to do so ebbs and flows only in so much as individual application of defending liberty occurs,  both, in the lesser and greater matters of caring for community  As it was since the time of the Revolutionary War and that generation of 1776, the dismissal of a vibrant awareness of the principle factor of the right to life has continued to anchor our humanity in elementary harbors of narrow-mindedness. It was in the American colonist call of “no taxation, without representation” in what was then the English Commons of America, that legal ‘jurisprudence’ was established amongst chosen, good, and upright representatives of the united colonies, to determine legal claim unto the natural right of man to live safely within a community that establishes a system of law...

1. Who can understand economic oppression without the benefit of a solid education? Who can know how to see opportunity in the absence of an educational curriculum that shapes a lop-sided professional?  2. How can the quality of education, differing across America, lead to different individual outcomes for people?  3. Is it possible that not all education is of the same quality, leading towards the same purpose, and that their are advantageous gains for students in elite, private schools, as compared to inner city public schools?  4. What are powerful, positive actions that can accelerate the social and economic realities of an American citizenry, wherein all are afforded the finest educational supports needed to fully access the opportunities?  5. How would the raising of outspoken, critically-minded citizens be deemed beneficial to society? 6. Should we not have more citizens in tune, in participation, and in conversation regarding how the country move...

“What I have said respecting and against religion, I mean strictly to apply to the slaveholding religion of this land, and with no possible reference to Christianity proper; for, between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference— so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ.” Frederick Douglass ‘A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave,’ 1845 I find it not robbery to call this man of black skin color, a great-grandfather of the American spirit, as it is one nation under God. I find it not robbery to call him a spiritual brother. Having passed away in 1895, Frederick Douglass’s legacy is only now beginning to surface from beneath the historical record piling; surfacing unscathe...

How and why can the practice of critical thinking and public speaking instruction turn the tables on the quality of men and women we are producing in America? Is it not evident that inner city public school systems in the United States skew towards racial segregation?  Are we looking to increase and maintain local and national economy, or should we be interested in developing objective, critical thinkers who are also professionals? Does the singular focus on teaching science, technology, math, and engineering in the American public school system create a professional labor force of followers? The valuing and shaping of individuals who employ critical thinking as an academic focus equal to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics may never happen in America. It would be downright dangerous to the established political power order to have citizens de-tribalizing from the current culture system ‘modus operandi’ and becoming a nation of free-thinkers. If you...
