"Go and tell John what you have seen and heard" [Luke] A new generation of curious youth want to know. Send your good news to: editor@bradyresearch.com Two centuries before the mulatto existence of Barack Obama, .... William (Billy) Lee and Elizabeth (Betty) Hemings (both mulattos) born in the 18th century were among the few most well known persons of African heritage courageously in service to the world changing American Revolution. They were better known than Crispus Attucks, Richard Allen, Phillis Wheatley, & Benjamin Baneker, ... and both the Lee and Hemings families demonstrated courage and patriotism. Yet they have been ignored by 19th-20th century artists, historians, & writers. And, even some descendents who have denied their relationships? The question and challenge is why and how the virtues of courage and faith among people of African heritage is historically denigrated? It could be that we the living have not told the stories we have seen and heard, ... and by default leave it to others without our interests or inputs. Or, the stories have been told, but deleted by publishers? The internet affords a new enlightenment.
This is my portal website for access to a network of Jeffersonian websites. It is about stories by the many artists, scholars and writers of past and current generations, and what they "have seen and heard." Sites are designed to help youth interested in facts, fictions and images about people, places and events that helped or help ... "the least of us" in pursuit of goodness via integration of many useful and helpful functions. The internet affords enlightenment of others as a scholarly virtue. This site might help gifted and talented youth of all races understand who, how, when, where and why? I am publishing part of my family's story on this site as an example to encourage others up from past denigrations to do likewise. With dozens of ancestors that preceded you, find one whose story you can love to tell. It is important that enlightened and educated souls not remain silent in the face of modern Hellenism. "No one lights a lamp and hides it under a basket." [Luke 11 Educated replacement generations are "biting at our heels" for "good information", ... that elderly persons (Black and White) are urged to research and publish in their remaining years. Sites accessed via this portal are:
I hope sites will help enlighten youth of faith among those millions and tens of millions up from generations of polygamy, tribalism, slavery, colonialism and neo-colonialism ... with minds, souls and names of inherent moral worth! But unlike the Jacobus Elisa Johannes Capitein and Clarence Thomas legacies of distorting the Messianic faith, ... let us not ignore the many millions in nameless and shameless denigration and despair. Change is needed! The "least of us" who have not risen need affirmative action by enlightened believers in health, education and economic self-sufficiency to generate goodness. I welcome an opportunity to publish and republish other stories as to what other believers have seen and heard. Think about it, and let me know if I can be helpful.
