It was a day of pomp and pagentry as some of Southern California’s best bands and drill teams marched in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “Kingdom Day” parade Monday. Hundreds of spectators clapped and cheered along the parade route as the youth displayed showmanship and sass. Teams participating in the parade included the Audubon Middle School band and drum squad; Compton’s Centennial High School; the Mudtown Drill and Drum Squad; spectators; and Crenshaw High School marching band./OW Photos by Shirley Hawkins.

The Bible is another form of literature that establishes that the ancient Kamites (Egyptians) were black, but racist scholars attempted to twist the story to suggest black people were cursed.

According to the Bible, the Hamites (Ham’s descendants), originally settled the Nile Valley. Ham’s four sons settled specific areas: Cush (Ethiopia); Mizraim (Egypt); Phut (Libya); and Canaan (Palestine), all of who were black. Let’s establish that before moving on.

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday

 If Aesop’s moral holds true, then the race for black equality and social justice which started nearly forty years ago should be nearing its end by now. But it’s not. In the 1960s, a great leader, whose birthday we celebrate today, started a successful movement to mobilize those treated unjustly on the basis of skin color. If Dr. King were alive today, he would realize that the civil rights race is far from being complete.
