Photo by Tunothy Ramsey Patricia Sadler reads a biography of honoree Mildred Peppers and prepares to present an award to Peppers' daughter Joniece Pledger on Friday, Jan 1. Community celebrates 4 Imani' Former Chronicle columnist Mildred Peppers honored BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY FOR THE CHRONICLE The final day of Kwanzaa cele brates the seventh principle, "Imani" or faith, which means to believe in our parents, our leaders, our teachers, our God, our community, and the righteousness and the victory of our struggle. Emmanuel Baptist Church culmi nated the community-wide, weeklong s Kwanzaa event with excerpts from an original play "When Courage Becomes Contagious." Adapted from the struggle in Selma, Alabama, dur ing the civil rights movement, the play was written hy church member Felecia Piggott-Long and honored Mildred Peppers, former columnist for the Chronicle. "It means that not only is she a role model for my sisters and I, but she is a role model to her church and her community and God is good and she will keep on teaching in whatever fashion God has her to do. She will teach the word of God because that's what she truly enjoys," said Joniece Pledger, daughter of Mildred Peppers, who accepted the award in the absence of her mother, who is again battling cancer and was not able to attend. Songs and chants that required audience participation from the onset of the celebration got everyone excit ed and engaged. The children were involved in the event as well by light ing the Kwanzaa candles and giving an example of the principles of Kwanzaa. ?The excerpts from the play were '.an adaptation of the voter rights efforts for African-Americans in* Selma and were shown to elaborate on the principle of faith. The partici pation of the youth and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were highlighted in See Imani on B6 The Most Beautiful Bride 1 ?

Reflect on romantic relationships and the way to nurture them. Seek ways to recog nize and express appreci ation, in appropriate ways, for inner and phys ical beauty. Background: The Old Testament is classi fied based on subject matter as follows: Pentateuch . (Genesis - Deuteronomy), Historical Books (Joshua - Esther), Poetical Books (Job - Song of Solomon, Lamentations), Major Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel), and Minor Prophets (Hosea - Malachi). The Song of Solomon then is a poem also referred to as "Song of Songs" and is thought to be an exchange between David's son Solomon during his reign and the Shulamite woman who captured his heart. Also in the mix were other women from the palace known as "daughters of Jerusalem." Solomon's harem was documented to number upwards of 1000 women; 700 wives and 300 concu bines (Kings 11:3). This book is a collection of poetry or songs that art fully represents the drama and passion of human love. "Scholars have interpreted the allegorical meanings to God's fierce love for Israel, as well as the church as the ravishing bride of Christ." (UM1 Precepts for Living, 2015-16). Lesson: "One of the main lessons to be learned from a study of Solomon's song is that God intends for rock |> See Lcaaono^M
