Call to Action!!!!

I pray this reaches you in time.

This is a CALL TO ACTION, it has recently as in the last ten minutes come to
my attention that there is a plan for the unearthing our our ancestors
graves in Hanover to build houses over them. We must honor our ancestors
ya'll, imagine how we would feel 100 years from now if the same people who put us in chains were disgracing our graves? No look at like this, would GEORGE BUSH ALLOW US TO DIG UP THE GRAVE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON TO PUT A HOUSE ON IT? IF HE WOULDN'T LET IT HAPPEN WHY SHOULD WE
LET IT HAPPEN?

Construction Unearths Slave Burial Site in Virginia

An unmarked cemetery of about 150 slaves is being dug up to make way for
housing construction in Hanover County, Va., according to WRIC-TV in
Richmond, Va. Though there are no records of the burial site, local
historians say they knew about the cemetery, which dates back to the 1750s.
Under court order, the developer is digging up the remains and moving them
for burial at another location. Two homes will be built on the property.

When: 7:00 pm
Where: Hanover County County Meeting
What: whether to dig up the graves of our ancestors
Why: To put houses in the place of their remains so some white man can get
richer.

Why should YOU be there: Because you affirm that all your ancestors are here
with you and for you to not try to put a cease to this particular incident
you are disrespecting all your ancestors.

Another Reason why you should be there: There is a white woman, Natalie
Shumanmeier-Horn 804-798-3883, who has been trying to stop this, but there
HAS NOT BEEN ONE BLACK PERSON TO STEP UP TO FIGHT FOR THEIR ANCESTORS!

The meeting will take place at the Hanover Courthouse @ 7 pm TONIGHT
Civil war legacy j.b. stuart's headquarters for coldharbor battle atlee rd.
& route 301, chamberlayne ave, 14 miles north of richmond. Hanover
Courthouse rd. Right side of 301, in the rear of the parking lot, big new
administration building stay riding up chamberlayne ave to get there
