     On January 6, 2023, community leaders in 70 cities held events planned nationwide to highlight the ongoing threats to our freedoms and our vote. Bipartisan investigations by the U.S. House January 6 Select Committee have demonstrated that former President Donald Trump and his allies engaged in criminal conspiracy.

     In describing how those three evils crush opportunity for people in this country and abroad, Dr. King exposed the destructive ideas that have subsidized the American Experiment – that groups of people were disposable and that our wilderness was just as disposable. As a nation, we’re still dealing with the cost of that destruction of people and of forests, rivers, and air that was accepted for most of our history.

When inquiring about the poor attendance, I learned that Pompano and Deerfield Beach community members optioned not to attend because they believe Cartwright did not do what she was charged to do. Cartwright was specifically charged to meet with the Pompano and Deerfield Beach communities, yet she scheduled a meeting of the entire District 7.

   Now what comes before us amid all the chaos, confusion, lies, soul selling and in some cases the joys and pains over tumultuous shouts of Jubilees? But you know what rises above all of that? The question that rings like the clarion call of a bell on a buoy out in the sea beckoning the lost to bring them to safety is: “Who will be King?” Please, don’t think too far ahead of me. I’m using our celebrated hero as the representation by his accomplishments of which the question asks. Nothing more, nothing to the attachment of what the cognitive association to the subjective of King vs peasant is. 

     With January being Human Trafficking Prevention Month, state Attorney General Ashley Moody is highlighting initiatives and tools for Floridians to learn about the signs and dangers of human trafficking.

     The cemetery is believed to contain the remains of people enslaved on Hardscrabble Plantation in the 1800s – and it was nearly lost to history as the landowners considered developing.
