John Lewis taught us that "Freedom is not a state; it is an act." His words remind us that freedom isn't a place we arrive at but something we continuously strive for through our actions. It's about the choices we make every day to build a fairer, more just society for everyone. Lewis's legacy calls us to action, emphasizing that each generation has a role in advancing freedom and justice. This journey towards freedom requires perseverance, courage, and collective effort. Let's take inspiration from his message to actively participate in shaping a world where justice and equality flourish. As we reflect on our journey towards freedom, let's honor John Lewis's memory by embracing our responsibility to contribute to a better society. Every step we take is a step towards a future where freedom is lived and breathed by all. Let's continue the conversation and share how we're contributing to this noble cause. Together, we can keep the spirit of freedom alive for generations to come. #FreedomIsAnAct #JohnLewisWisdom #ActForFreedom #JusticeForAll #BeTheChange

We the people have a responsibility to make America great again. In times like this we need to reflect on the progress we have made down the years. We the people deserve a America that all men are created equal. We deserve an American were opportunities are endless no matter your race creed or political affiliation. We the people deserve leadership that represents our values. We the people deserve an honest leader who can rally and inspire others to want more. We need leadership that can lead. We have become to accustomed to being silent when something happens that clearly isn't right. We can and will raise out of this halls of division and realize we need each other. Hate and disrespect in all forms need not become our norm. We the people denounce violence in all forms. This is a very important election coming up. Let's make sure when we vote that our country will to be great is acknowledge. We are all responsible to make America greater than ever. We can't rest history but we can show history that we the people have evolved from a divided country to a nation that honors democracy.

President Sikeston Missouri American Slaves, Inc. National executive council. media, marketing, entertainment,, chairman.
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. Once I understood how much cultural wealth is really on the table and that black leaders didn't have a clue. I smelled an economic opportunity. When I recognized that black leaders had fallen asleep at the wheel and that the American slave culture was going under for the third time, it became my duty to take over leadership of the American slave culture and save our people. A large part of my business resume is saving companies that are going under. I discussed launching the American Slave Movement with my white mentors, Colonel James Halvatgis, Attorney Marvin Hirn, and Mayor Slone. Whereas I wanted to jumpstart the American Slave Movement from Atlanta, Detroit, or some other aggressive city, they suggested we launch it from Louisville, Kentucky. They said, that since I claimed Louisville as my hometown, it was my duty to put Louisville on the map. I made it clear that because of what I had just gone through with black leaders in Louisville when I was trying to advance American slaves into mainstream America through the manufacturing arena, I thought launching the American Slave Movement from Louisville was a bad idea. My mentors were adamant that the movement should be launched from Louisville. They said I had withstood the gatekeeper barrage and was still standing that I would prevail. I figured there is no sense in having mentors if you are unwilling to take their advice. But on the other hand, my white mentors really didn't understand the slave mentality that has a firm grip on the mindset of the American slave culture as I did. I would never have understood the slave mentality myself had I not risen to the height of "MINORITY ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR IN MANUFACTURING." From that pinnacle, I could see the business playing field more clearly. What I saw caused me to become ashamed of myself---ashamed that I could be so ignorant...for such a long time...Black leaders, not understanding the power of slavery in America, don't want Louisville on the map if the only way to get there is by calling them, American slaves. They would rather keep living high on the hog and let their people starve to death. What I bring to the table is a no-brainer. That is why my white mentors weren't concerned with my plan working. But, as I said, they didn't understand the slave mentality we would be up against in Louisville and I am sure it is the same in all cities. I went ahead and launched the American Slave Movement from Louisville, Kentucky, anyway, and, just like I figured, black leaders attacked in full force. I wound up bankrupt and blackballed.

Team: On the eve of Memorial Day and not much more than a week from the 80th Anniversary of the beginning of Operation Overlord is a good time to reflect on the powerful gift we have been bestowed through the sacrifice of others. Specifically, the opportunity to effectively govern ourselves as free people. With that inheritance comes the compelling obligation to pass it on. Effective self-governance is not entertainment, or sport, or theater, and celebrity is not leadership. Representative democracy is tough work that demands curiosity, the respect for the rule-of-law, and citizens who can disagree agreeably on matters of policy knowing that they share a great many common concerns. Similarly, leaders of character understand their own accountability and the duty to others that comes with authority. As I see it, we owe future generations no less than the opportunity that has been given to us at great cost to so many. Keep pounding…W/r, 🦅🦅

The last two sentences of this article resonated with me the most: "Neither a divisive, identitarian worldview nor a baby-out-with-the-bathwater nihilism will do. Today, let’s strive to clasp hands and walk together down a peaceful road to reconciliation." We can't continue to use divisive tactics to advocate and drive DEI programs. We need to take a more truly inclusive approach that identifies ways that all of us can benefit from these programs. #betterbizculture

So, what are we to do and how do we do it? In 2009 I drafted The American Slaves, Inc. Renaissance Plan. Once ASI is funded, all we have to do is follow the written plan. It tells us what to do. It works the same as the military and includes everyone. It tells the leader what to do; the leader tells his lieutenants what to do; and the lieutenants tell to the followers what to do. The problem with descendants of American slaves moving forward is slaves aren't programmed to do anything on our own, or move in any direction, unless whites tell us what to do and which way to move; and I can live with that, because whites will tell us to do what gatekeepers tell them needs to be done. Whites in leadership positions are programmed to rely on gatekeepers to tell them what to do regarding black folk. Norris Shelton is not respected in the gatekeeper circle; therefore, white folks won't heed my direction, simply because gatekeepers won't tell them to heed my direction. My job is to teach so-called black leaders how to move our culture forward. It doesn't matter who gives the command, so long as everyone follow the leader and he or she is following a well-thought out advancement plan. It is my job to teach black leaders how to use the positions we hold at our places of occupation to help our people advance. If black leaders are holding a specified position, inside or outside of ASI, and if that position comes in contact with the Renaissance Plan, we must function effectively according to what the plan demands of that position. Question: Since ASI hasn't been funded, and can't afford to pay leaders, what happens if a black leader doesn't do his or her job according to the plan? In business, you are fired! We all know that. In the American Slave Movement, probably nothing except black leaders becoming angry at the leader for telling them what to do and descendants of Americans slaves becoming more divided. I can't fire useless, black leaders, but they can be penalized by other means. Starting in 2017, the American Slave Movement and its activities will be transparent, exposed for all America to see, scrutinize and examine. Even though the public is hoodwinked, at some point, people need to know what is going on in the American Slaves Movement. We need to know what happened in the past that caused us to wind up in this mess and what we are presently doing to structure the American Slave Nation into a functioning people. ASI will therefore give regular updates of what specific leaders are doing to help the plan and delineate those who are hurting the plan. www.Slaves-USA.com

CEO l SIA Global Power Women 150 l SIA DE&I Influencer l Confronts Workforce Equity Gaps I Skills-Based Hiring Champion
On April 4, 1968, when he tragically lost his life in Memphis, Dr. King was there not just for civil rights but to stand in solidarity with African American garbage workers. These individuals, carrying signs proclaiming "I Am A Man," were on strike, bravely protesting unsafe conditions, abusive supervisors, and inadequate wages. While his advocacy for labor might not be as widely recognized, it was undeniably significant. In 1965, Dr. King emphasized the collective strength of the labor and civil rights movements, stating, “The two most dynamic movements that reshaped the nation during the past three decades are the labor and civil rights movements. Our combined strength is potentially enormous.” Looking back on Dr. King's life, his tireless efforts to connect civil rights with the labor movement left an enduring legacy of legal advancements in the workforce. King's core values—equality and justice for all—are not relics of the past but guiding principles shaping our employment landscape today. As we reflect on King's vision and compare it to the present, there's no denying the progress we've made. Yet, progress isn't just about how far we've come; it's a continuous journey toward a destination. YUPRO Placement was born from the belief that every individual deserves equal opportunities in the workforce, irrespective of race, gender, socioeconomic status, or zip code. We exist to build a workforce that is inclusive, future- ready, diverse and skills first. For us at YUPRO Placement and countless other DEI-driven organizations, the destination is clear—we aim to shatter stereotypes and break down barriers, seeing people for the richness of their experiences, skills, and diverse perspectives. As we continue the fight for equitable access to job opportunities based on skills, let's remember Dr. King's wisdom—our collective voice holds immense power, and together, we can make a lasting impact. #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #Equity #DEI #Equality
