Greetings Sorors and Bruhs,
I had the opportunity to attend the rally last night on the campus of Auburn University. It was very informative and uplifting. The panel and audience had the opportunity to address the president of the university. And I must say that they caught him off gaurd. The horrible incident that sparked this controversy was the not the entire focus of the rally. We (audience) dug deeper and also discussed other race relations on the campus ranging from the recruitment process to the numbers of African- American faculty. Lloyd Jordan, Grand Basileus said some very powerful and encouraging words last night. While there, I felt the love not just among the bruhs but between BGLO's and African-Americans as a whole. Although I am not a student at Auburn ( I attend Alabama State in Montgomery,45 miles from AU), I felt compelled to attend. It's just all part of the black struggle in America. Here we are in the year 2001 and we are still confronted with these issues. We had just found out about the rally at like 4pm. I really enjoyed myself. If you missed it then you missed a VERY VERY moving event.
Thanks
