Freedom, Justice and Equality

May God’s peace and blessing be upon you. My name is Maurice D. Muhammad and I am ready to serve our community and then our larger community to help make Jackson a better place, and in so doing it will help make Tennessee better which in turn will make America better so we will make America a more perfect union like the founding fathers wrote in the constitution of the United States of America.

Each person brings to the table unique concepts and skills to the Liberation Struggle that are intrinsic to effectively breakdown the barriers in our communities to bring about mobilization for change. Being apart of the struggle would be advantageous for those who have an earnest desire and leadership cleverness to make change in our world. Being apart of the struggle is not only for those who vocalize change but also are for those who are about the business of creating change.

We as people can no longer sit back and wait for change. The sweat and blood of our fore fathers have soaked the soils of this country. The election of President Barack Obama has given us all a new hope for the entire world. The demand of the time is to effect change and change is now, for the kingdom of God is at hand.

Take this new energy and channel that energy to make our communities better. Be an advocate for change with this simple creed “No More Excuses”. To our young black men, too many of whom have been allowed to embrace the sin of low expectation: No more excuses. To black professionals lamenting racism on the job while worshiping daily at the alter of personal mediocrity: No more excuses. To those obsessed with the trappings of wealth, yet who refuse to invest in their own financial education or to exercise fiscal discipline: No more excuses. To those who complain about the ills of our community, yet who are unwilling to invest their time, or energy to bring about solutions: No more excuses. The question is only whether or not we are committed to doing what needs to be done to be the best we can be, to achieve our fullest potential as individuals and as a people. I am not saying it is going to be easy, after all racism is still alive. But Martin Luther King Jr. was killed lest than 45 minutes form Jackson what are we doing to help make his dream our dream a reality. Too many people have died to make America good but she is not good yet. We have to pick up the mission to make America good. I ask you to join me as torchlight for America
