The Road To Palastine Nu Jeru

December 19th Tribal and I will featuring in Paterson, NJ. My home town. The place where the movies based on real life stories like "Lean On Me' and The Hurricane" were filmed.

Our children went to Eastside High. Made famous because of it's absolute inefficiency and Joe Clark.
My family has marched, bled, fought and died in, because of, and for this city since the early 1900s.
It's our first public appearance there since we left in 2001. A week after witnessing 911.

We've done so much and lost/gained so much in this town. Always trying to keep the kids in mind. They were and still are in danger constantly just by living in Paterson. One of the most politically corrupt cities in America.
We always offered them hope.

As a family we made history in Paterson and represented a positive image in deeds.

As activists we brought a city together with advanced communications media and empowered it's citizens by helping to create over 50 small businesses. We helped form educational organizations and sponsored non profit efforts to protect our children. We remembered our slain and honored our lost.

There came a point where we realized a genocide was happening in Paterson. We left to secure our own children who had already been forced to go to school with security guards as protection against kidnapping threats. The mayor was arrested and convicted. The sheriff also, and the housing authority had been under investigation for embezzlement,. This and more all in the same short period surrounding 911. Our kids were being shot in the streets by the very people sworn to protect them with no justice in sight.
Remember Larwence Meyers. Always...
For ten years we have fought from outside Paterson. Fought for a nation instead of a city.
Coming home rarely and watching the steady intentional decimation of the black family and it's rich community. Our families. A steady succession of corrupted officials and deadly confrontations with a criminal system ran by racists and elitist. We've lost children of our own in Paterson. Because of Paterson.
Since 2001 Tribal Raine and I have traveled the length and breadth of this nation multiple times. Ministering through poetry.

Find more videos like this on The New Word Order
We've spoken with world leaders and performed with living legends like Amiri Baraka and The Last Poets

We've had accolades and awards to many to even mention. All of them in agreement. That as Spoken Word artists we have something to say worth hearing and it IS making a difference in peoples lives.

On December 19th, 2009 we return to our home with our message. With our "poetry" for the first time in a decade.
It's probably one of the most personal appearances of our lives. Some family members and life long friends will be seeing us as Spoken Word artists for the very first time.
I think Paterson is about to get some change they really can believe in.
Changed minds.
17 miles from Manhattan. Right in the heart of the city.
If you know someone in the NY/NJ area please invite them to this once in a lifetime event. I would consider it a personal favor. This is a day to share with someone. Simply forward this page with your regards.
