Page 8 AC Phoenix, June/July 1994 The Black Woman Mother of Civilization by Willie Bryant The Black Woman, as we honor her today, is the Mother of Creation. She deserves our honor. Over the decades, the black woman has lost much self respect and has degraded herself in rank and standards. If black women seek to bear good fruit, they must plant good seeds. It is the woman's responsibility to plant her seed in fertile soil. The seed of knowledge must be planted in the minds of our children. We need to learn to respect and protect women, regardless of class, creed or color. Honoring that only women have the gift of reproduction. The ability to bear fruit. The woman is so very unique in her creation being given the God-granted ability to bear children. Her womanhood is often misused and taken for granted. She is deprived of her importance, pride, dignity, and respect in the manner in which she is due. She is often misused and shown disrespect by her counterpart; the black man. Women who are mothers have a special obligation to society. The moral characteristics that they instill in the minds of children will be the same image that your children will grow up and portray to society. Therefore, it is of great importance to instill good moral character in the minds of your children. Give them the knowledge and understanding that one must work in order to support oneself. This is a moral standard of survival and well being. This must be molded into your child's inner- being. On this day, I lift up not just black women, but all women. If we are ever to be a just people, we must be just to one another, and learn to love, protect, and respect ourselves and others. The Uprising by Willie Bryant The Uprising is a collection of Manuscripts geared towards the uprising of Afro Americans 20 million strong plagued, with the wounds and scars of m isunderstanding and the inability to unite amongst oneself before seeking unity. If we are ever to rise as a people, we must unite in that cause. If we are to rise, let us rise in wisdom, let us rise in knowledge. Let us come together under one common bond- justice. Justice is none other than a legal yardstick measurement of correction, and if it is to DANVILLE TOYOTA TOYOTA Ppra : . : Only a short drive for a great deal!

NC be rendered, we plead that it be rendered and or measured equally. This has become a nationwide issue. If you have not been just to your fellow man how can you plead for justice. Within Americas Judicial system, no one can save us from one another. Our young black men come into our community as death merchants. We must save our youth; those that have fallen under the wrath of the gun. The gun is not the problem. It's the man behind the gun. Who is he? What immoral image does he portray? "An individual who wants to be feared wherever he goes, wants to be respected for his disrespect to others." True respect is earned morally not physically. Physical respect promotes none other than fear of the man behind the gun, who has no concern for life, and he will still yours in the blink of an eye. If the man is taken away from the gun, the gun has no control, until it falls within the reach of another individual like himself. A man can still kill without a gun, therefore, both the gun and the man must come under justice. If we seek an uprising, we must wake up the m asses of negroes nationwide. We must make them aware of the problems scarring our country today (youth violence, crime, acism, poverty, homelessness, and —cont. to page 16 New Jerusalem Baptist Church 1212 N.
