I'm from New Jersey and have always been fascinated with history. I don't think I've ever seen that statue but I may have as a kid. What a great post!!

I am glad that the Alexander Hamilton Institute was established. And AH's statue still stands today. It's sad that AH lost his life to Aaron Burr in the duel. I am glad that today politicians hold debates and no more duels. I like the historical background and introduction. I am glad that the Alexander Hamilton Institute was established.

Sigh. This is a great film--I've purchased it for several people in my life. I first saw it at a church John Dau was there. Beautiful. Amazing. :) I smile just thinking about the end of this film. You'd think that more African-Americans would have this amazing tie to our continent--but, working with kids and parents and people--there's relatively nothing. I am so blessed to be in their lives with a spirit of joy--to share. Public schools are not helping kids walk taller--at worst they're just holding cells/babysitting institutions and at best no child is left behind? I say that the forefathers of these United States must be ecstatic at how their brainwashing has lived on. I remember growing up learning that Africa was nothing but starvation, desert and flies. Luckily God had a plan for me. By making me investigative and aware of deception He made me seek truth. I see why it's so buried--it's rather ugly and it's face is of those people in power from essentially one continent: EUROPE. He also gave me HIS eye of Africa--I see nothing but family there. And it hurts to see family suffering. Amen. And oh, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Your kids are blessed to have you! I feel a spiel coming on (apologies in advance)
