"If you hear the dogs, keep going.
If you see the torches in the woods, keep going.
If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop.
Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going." Harriet Tubman
No Matter What....Keep Going!!

We do not run our community team. We do not profit from our community.. every other group profit and exploit the black community. And they do not live in the black community.
