CIVIL WAR ENCAMPMENT

THE MISS-LOU BLACK AND BLUE CIVIL WAR LIVING HISTORY ENCAMPMENT AND CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTMENT

Message From Ser Seshs Ab Heter-CM Boxley

Greetings y'all!

Be aware that our Black and Blue Civil War Encampment presenting the "Black Experience" in the Civil War in our immediate Mississippi and Louisiana areas was a tremendous and resounding success. Thanks to Nana Bennie McRae for the years of research, posting and emailing my person large amounts of factual information directly relating to the "Black Experience" of our Freedom Fighting Ancestors and Foreparents, we were able to present a vast amount of equal history commemorated here May 31, 2008.

David Slay, a young "white man" who teaches history at the community college level in Hinds County (Jackson) Mississippi also has researched and forwarded so much information in the last year. I want both you and Nana Bennie to know that the season "white" re-enactors who set up with us said they learned a lot and did not know there was so much history here. They even ordered two copies of the replica flag "given to the 5th Heavy Colored Artillery Co. C by the Colored Citizens of Natchez" in 1863. They said they will display that flag as part of their Civil War encampment from now on!

Don't want to give away the overall impact of our historical making program completed in a very pleasing to all presentation. Hope to do so later this week after asking folk to email my person their analysis.

As I have said before, African descent folk helping their European descent oppressors, invaders, enslavers and the like is nothing new relative that happening in the Uncivil War. A more holistic look at the whole book of our history on this Divine Earth for the past 300,000 to 500,000 years will provide ya'll with a view and understanding of the problems we did not face until the strangers invaded our racial, cultural and spiritual space in Africa. After that we have had and continue to have plenty, plenty problems. Never start your discussion about the role of enslaved persons here in the America(s) without going back to the front of our story book and seeing how as a people we were seduced into helping strangers all over the past. It starts with invasions, sexual seduction, religious conversing and material and military force. In our late 20th century days awareness, we called it the "three M's." "Missionary, Money and Marines" is how we became a defeated African people.

As I always say, what lessons have we learned from all this? This includes fighting for the United States or the Confederacy. One great lesson, our Foreparents and Ancestors, enslaved and non-enslaved deliberately and successfully turned the Uncivil War into the right opportunity to free us from chattel slavery and set us on the course to make the choices we make today, regardless of the consequences. What are the lessons we learned from self-emancipation actions of the "greatest generations of enslaved and non enslaved African descent persons? What self-determination lessons do we learn from the greatest generations of African descent people in the 20th century all over the world who freed us from the yokes of Jim Crow segregation and colonization-apartheid world wide? "Aluta Continua and the struggle continues"
