From: SF Bay View <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It is because "the trauma (of the Middle Passage) still lives in our collective psyche" that Maafa was commemorated for the 10th year at Ocean Beach, drawing hundreds of participants, explains Maafa organizer and Bay View Arts Editor Wanda Sabir. And the trauma continues, Joe Williams writes, with the vicious police beating in New Orleans' French Quarter of a Black 64-year-old retired teacher and with the recommendation by a former U.S. secretary of education that every Black baby in America should be aborted.
As the trauma intensifies, so does the determination to survive, fight back and create a better world. Read in this week's Bay View (<http://www.sfbayview.com>www.sfbayview.com) about Brother Malcolm dispensing courage from his wheelchair on a Berkeley street, about young Dr. Mark Grevious becoming a brilliant surgeon because his family fought school "tracking," about the fight by Black New Orleanians for the right to return and rebuild their homes and their city, about the Millions More Movement as "a nationwide catalyst for African American cohesion and civic action" and much, much more. News bulletin: The bail was raised through the hard work and astounding generosity of Bay View readers, and young Tyrelle Taylor, shot repeatedly in the back by the police on Sept. 9, was released late Thursday night to the loving arms of his family. Read all about it in next week's Bay View ... and thank you, one and all; you are a force to be reckoned with!
