Sherry Wolf : Socialism and Civil Rights

Through a young lady in our Creative Non-Fiction workshop, I was invited to my second National Civil Rights Conference this week. Now please understand that this writer is a Sephardic Jew and a Republican. We tend to assume that all rights are civil after WWII and the 1960’s in the States. Once again, my eyes have been wide shut. Because I truly had no idea that what our community members are going through. Sherry Wolf, author of “Sexuality and Socialism: History, Politics, and Theory of LGBT Liberation.” Ms. Wolf was flown in by the English Department. A very interesting producer for a wholly Political theory and philosophy event.
The bottom line is that the current LGBT Agenda is fully bathed in the Civil Rights Movement lead by Martin Luther King in the 1960’s, nationally. Women seem to be the most vocal, the most active, and the most unstoppable force in their demand for nothing more than the opportunity to live their private lives in a loving and supportive manner, with dignity and respect.
The movement is based and supported by the same socialist blueprint that fostered and supported Martin Luther King’s Civil rights Progression in the 1960’s. GLBT Rights have come a hell of a long way since the 1960’s, and the Stonewall Riots. There have been few notable events since the original MLK Civil Rights Marches, which included a dramatic number of GLBT Activists.
The most interesting discovery for me as a more Conservative Hebrew, Latino, Darker Pigmented, British-West Indian; is that I can’t disagree with an Agenda that includes Civil Liberty, Housing Equality, Health Care, and Estate Rights in Probate, and Marital Unions, although they are self-described socialists, they clearly mirror ‘Family Values Campaigns’ waged by Reaganites in the 1980’s.
Sherry Wolf makes entirely too much sense. “It’s nobody’s business what I do in my bedroom.” Sex is not the issue. Nobody knows what anyone else does is the Heterosexual Bedrooms.’ She shan’t get any argument from me on this point either. Treat them like we treat any other constituency? Skip the deviant rhetoric and allow Americans to be moral, upstanding, and productive citizens? Support them with the same support given participants in our Capital Marketplace.
Allow them to live, work, die, and pay taxes like all the other couples. Allow them to adopt hold property their property jointly, live in a secure, nurturing, loving environment. Budiling a life together for a future of stability, growth, peace, love, happiness, and fidelity. Sounds like the Republican National Convention Platform of the middle 1980’s. ‘Return to our Core Family Values.”
As an avid student and active participant of political science, I am astounded at how little attention we pay to the LGBT population, which is a huge percentage of American business, American families, American Military, and American Dollars. I wrongly assumed that they were happy with their progress over the last 40 years. Their standing in the community, and their support by the State. Clearly the self avowed GLBT participant is not yet supported in the manner in which they need to be, or why would they speak up ?? It is clearly not an easy thing to do, nor would it see to benefit the individuals that are coming out to support their community’s Agenda.\

Thank God for the Ohio State University. Twice in one week, I have been directly exposed to stellar technology and research topics, supported in fact by the scholars and activists that I been reading about and validating data with Research tools, ie WIKI, Google Chrome, OCLC Database, PDFs, and confirming the references directly. I have received these experiences on Civil Rights at a time when I thought , “Everyone is covered there’s a Black Dude on Pennsylvania Avenue.”

Largest Peace Breakfast in the Country

I spent the most amazing holiday morning in memory. My sister called from work at 10TV at six ten a.m. to ask me how my timing was. Naturally, I said, “Great! What’s Up ?” ‘Mom is on her way into the Columbus Convention Center for the 25th Annual Commemorative Breakfast, ‘meet her there ‘, said Sherri Robinson, my sister.’ “Okay, I said, I’ll do my best ?.” Fifty minutes later at seven a.m., I arrived to our landmark Columbus Convention Center. The Columbus Convention Center, the single largest space under one roof in the region, is an awesome facility for our community to be most proud of.
At seven am on their day off, more than 4,000 members of our community arrived for breakfast with their neighbors in our community to hear choirs, mimes, and dignitaries from all over the United States. The 25th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Breakfast was well underway. The Battelle Grand Ball room was christened with this one of a kind event. The largest commemorative celebration for peace in the United States of America, celebrating the message of the three P’s: “Peace, Pigmentation, and Poverty. Right here on High Street in our community, this state of the art Ball Room can easily fit, 4,000 people for full meals, or 10,000 for dancing and reception. Digital screens, professional digital sound and lighting, white glass illuminated dais, white glass 240 degree balcony was opened just this morning for this one of a kind event produced by Bert Castle and Dorothy Alexander.
Ohio State University was well represented and mentioned on the dais, no less than three times by the event’s founder, Dr. Amos H. Lynch Sr.(the godfather of on the ground journalism in Columbus, Ohio), the Master of Ceremonies, Jerry Revish, 10 TV (co-MC Tracy Townsend, 10TV), , and the Keynote Speaker, Dr. William J. Shaw (past President of the National Baptist Conference). Many members of our Ohio State Community, students, professors, and staff members in attendance, on their morning off from classes; from all religious backgrounds, various countries of origin, and many women leaders were represented as well. Rabbi Idit Jacques (female) gave the Blessing of the meal in Hebrew from the Torah and English, the Rev. Leon Troy, Sr. gave the Invocation, and Lama Kathleen Wesley gave the Benediction, culminating the event with the most diverse crowd in the 25 year history of the Commemorative Breakfast.
The students ran the show from fifth grade to Universities around the country, singing, speaking from the dais, miming, and sign language interpretation; the Keynote Speaker, Dr. Shaw, acknowledged our students as , “I defer to the real keynote speakers, the students, I am only here as a speaker.” Our students collectively represented 35% of the audience, and represent the best of the best for our future as Americans.
The climactic moment occurred as the Commemorative Choir, more than 200 voices, sang Yolanda Adams’, ”NEVER GIVE UP” Directed by Joyce McKinley-Robinson, accompanied by Bobby Floyd, Keyboard and Reggie Jackson, Drums. The Columbus Children’ Choir (Dr. Sandra Mathias), led the song backed up by the Adult, Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Choir. 50% of the voices are under 21 years of age and sang as professionally as any show you can see on a road tour. The students from all ethnic origins display the best of our future American Community.
We have come a long way as a country, through crisis, war, protest, and mass layoffs. We have a long way to go, and as Mayor Michael B. Coleman stated, ‘I invite every one of you to make a difference today. 4 pm today at City Hall we are raising awareness and finances for Haitian Relief, during our annual march across Broad Street. This Thursday all competitive media outlets in the region are coming out to team up to raise funds for Haitian Relief. Let our Columbus community bring our resources together and Let’s Make a difference today!’
