Statue of Sojourner Truth in Sacramento, CA reportedly damaged on Dr. MLK Jr. birthday
A restless, sleepless night will not help restore the statue of Sojourner Truth. Communication not silence is the key to understanding and a good way forward. This 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation continues in a profound way. Globally, a singular voice of justice against this ongoing methodology of terrorism and probable hate crimes throughout the heart of the California Central Valley can usher a positive new way forward.
Last century the Sacramento Observer reported
Sojourner Truth's Legacy Demands Attention: Organization Continues Fight. For Freedom Warrior's Inclusion In Women's Suffrage Statue
Continuing a battle begun during the final days of the 104th Congress, National Political Congress of Black Women, Inc. (NPCBW) officials declared war, vowing that the Woman Suffrage Statue will not be raised without the inclusion of Sojourner Truth's image.
"Raising the statue for public display without correcting the intentional omission of Sojourner Truth would be an affront to her legacy," said Dr. C. DeLores Tucker, NPCBW national chair and convening founder.
Today, Dr. E.Faye Williams, National Congress of Black Women, Inc. will have a strong statement of what has happened to sista Sojourner...
On Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. birthday, earlier this year 2013, it is reported the vandalism took place...
The word just has been proclaimed of what has occurred... and it is not good.
Stay tuned... a broader response is essential and those of us Grandparents, born in the Sacramento region should know what is really happening again... it is time to ride... once again.

Seems the reported security footage is no longer available, interesting... vandalism or hate crime... from January 6 to May 6, clearly a challenge this 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Thank you.
A positive new way forward remains the goal and opportunity.
