We are about to have a heated Ward 2 Biloxi City Council race! Shout out to all the parties involved! Biloxi needs vigor and fight for their constituents from their elected officials!

The youth are ready to challenge our veterans leaders in Ward 2!

Ward 2 City Councilman Felix Gines has done tremendous work in Ward 2 as well. His work with the Harrison County Democrats and other groups are well documented. He and I have worked together to mentor and register voters in Ward 2.
The problem that local residents are having with Councilman Gines is his inability to create a groundswell for the issues that directly affect the Ward 2 Communities. Infrastructure remains a key element of dissent among Ward 2 Voters.

This is coming on the heels of a failed Mayor Holloway Administration that
allowed Community Development Block Grant Funding after #HurricaneKatrina to be allocated to the Seanger Theater for mixed use development in downtown Biloxi. Councilman Gines was the Ward 2 Councilman during that phase.

Now, the youth have taken matters into their own hands.

Happy birthday to your beloved mother🎊I hope that she will be looking down on your efforts to liberate #ADOS who were economically unable to travel in mass in 1976. #ADOS still remain a #BottomCaste in America.
On January 31, 1966, about 70 African American sharecroppers, tenant farmers, and seasonal workers occupied the empty barracks of the Greenville Air Force Base to protest their desperate economic plight in the MS Delta. They carried blankets, stoves, coal, mops, brooms, and water
“Their demands were simple: land, food, jobs, shelter, and the basic necessities of life. Their wages, averaging $3 for a 12-hour day, made their life unlivable. They lived in shacks, and many were in debt to plantation owners for those shacks.” This was #ADOSLife✊🏾in 1966.

#ADOSActivists in MS have always been a political advocacy organization. We fight for policies on behalf of non profit organizations so that they do not have to depend on charity. Our government works for us. We must demand transformative legislation to build our communities.
The @MississippiRise has been critical in getting vital resources to our communities. One of their board members is my good friend LaRonne Lewis. He is also a member of our @MississippiAdos Organizers circle.
We are both two passionate people. Our organization uses political advocacy for policy initiatives that are specific to #ADOS✊🏾. We were discussing the current exclusion of Black Farmers from the USDA Food Box distribution program.

As far as “ Black Empowerment “ and “Bootstraperism” in the #ADOS communities are concerned academia will also concede to the data that suggest these theories are apart of a concerted effort to disenfranchise #ADOS.
“When viewed as a scientific project; #culteraldeterminism encounters several crippling problems. For Instance, violent crime can be attributed to a culture of violence. We never learn what causes some societies to be violent in the first place”.
“Instead, the outcome is used to explain itself- (which is an exercise in CIRCULAR REASONING) that lacks SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY. According to @SandyDarity, lateral mobility among non-#ADOS races contradict this ideology”. #FHTE

Mississippi is home the Choctaw and Cherokee Indian reservations. They own thousands of acres of land and commercial property in Mississippi Alabama and Louisiana. Casino Gaming and Agriculture are their major sources of income today.
As we celebrate “Thanksgivings” let us all remember the Native #ADOS who predate the “Founding Fathers” of this Country before 1775. #ADOS have been in America well before 1565.

Our #Genocide in America was aided and abetted by Native American Tribes and Chiefs of this land. The town of Greenwood is located in Leflore County, MS at the edge of the Delta farming country. It is named for Chief Greenwood LeFlore. Chief in 1830.

Blacks have always practiced Group Economics. Mound Bayou, MS was founded by former Slave Benjamin Montgomery in 1867. It was one of the earliest Self Governing Black Communities in America. It covered 846 acres of land. #ADOSPolitics npr.org/2017/03/08/515… @NPRmelissablock
The problem that Blacks have had throughout history is a lack of Political Capital that protect their economic interests. Mound Bayou, MS is a perfect example of why a political framework is so important. #ADOSPolitics @BennieGThompson @jerameyanderson mississippitoday.org/2018/01/24/mou…
To add context to the Political repercussions of not having agency, more than half of the 98% Black population in Mound Bayou, MS live below the Poverty Level. They have a population of 1,408.
