As we rememberthe legacy of Dr. MartinLuther King, Jr. in Januaryand people like PhillipPayton, Leonard Cooke,Maggie Walker, William“Bill” Darden, and others,let us also remember theresponsibility that each oneof us has to bequeath to thenext generation a worldmore perfect than the onewe inherited. Make history,365 days of the year.

“365Black” is notjust a slogan used byMcDonald’s, but it is state-ment which reflects thedaily contributions thatpeople of African ancestryhave made and continue tomake to the nation and tothe world. The statement isalso indicative of the resil-iency of people who haveovercome obstacles seldomexperienced in all of humanhistory.

In a recent inter-view I conducted with theHonorable Keith L.T.

Wright, Member of Assem-bly, 70th Assembly District,I asked him how the districthe represents, Central Har-lem, would be different ifblacks had greater accessto wealth. He said, lookwhat blacks have accom-plished without having much

access to wealth! Headded, today blacks areserving as Chief ExecutiveOfficers. He noted, blacksare serving in some of thehighest positions in govern-ment, including the mostpowerful position in thefree world, President of theUnited States. Imaginewhat blacks could do ifthey had wealth?

The experience ofblacks in America is one ofstruggle, but it is also oneof resistance and persever-ance. Three hundred and

sixty five days of the year,every year, blacks aremaking history. They arenot only making history,they are making a differ-ence. They are remember-ing the past, working in thepresent, and shaping thefuture.

Celebrate King at2:00 pm on Monday, Janu-ary 17, 2011 at PilgrimBaptist Church, 80 NorthFranklin Street, New York10960, and everyday bymaking or renewing a com-mitment to social justice.

The Reverend Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr., isremembered for his famousI Have a Dream speech.King was much more than adreamer. He was a revolu-tionary. He was a vision-ary. He did not what waspopular, but what was

right. Despite being de-spised and rejected bymany of his contemporaries,including some blacks andmembers of the clergy, hefought valiantly for thecreation of nation that hewould not live to see.

Fresh: The Movie

As a pest control professional, I’m concerned with all aspects of environmental sustainability including individual and

corporate responsibilities. I recently was afforded an opportunity to view an agriculture film entitled, FRESH the Movie as a

class assignment. In a word, WOW! For many years, I’ve heard about the mistreatment of animals, done in the name of feed-

ing the world. I’ve heard stories of science experiments that cloned animals with accelerated growth and even some animals

having mutating attributes to ensure larger than normal portions. All which seem to be no more than over thought and para-

noid conspiracy theories. I’ve talked and debated with Agricultural Economist about the use of antibiotics and bio genetics in

our food sources to ensure sustainable crops and enough food for the world. In my mind, let the farmers and food processors

do what they do best: provide an abundance of food. I spoke about agriculture concepts and formed opinions based on mis-

information, lack of research and an unwillingness to see with an open mind. I generally wavered in the direction of the path

with the least resistant or rather the path that required the least amount of work on my part. While the precautionary state-

ment insisted that this film was not meant to preach or persuade in one way or another; it did persuade me to become re-

leased from a close minded mentality.

As the first scene opens on the pig farm, I was taken back to my days working in a slaughter house. The smell, the

sights and the horrors flooded my brain as though I were right there again. I can remember thinking, “Why are we killing so

many pigs in one day? Can America actually be consuming this much pork to justify killing 7,500 hogs five days a week?

Does the world really need 10,000 hogs killed daily between November 1st and December 23rd? Is this what nature really

intended?” I was in awe at how the Virginia pig farmer, Joel Salatin (Swoope, VA), incorporated all the animals into a cycle

that provided natural food, fertilizing and rest for the fields. Referring back to a September 2010 round table discussion,

Alex Byrd (Virginia 4H Specialist) suggested that some farmers are in such dire straits that their environmental and agricul-

tural beliefs are heavily outweighed by the need to survive and succumb to industry standards. During the film, Alex’s senti-

ment was more than evident when a couple who run a Missouri chicken farm was being interviewed. Their responses made it

obvious and impossible to conceal that an unseen corporation was mandating their everyday operations. Although there were

no indications or statements that suggested they would do things differently; their droid like answers and stiff body language

screamed, “this practice is not our belief.”



I actually wanted to stand and applaud Mr. Russ Kremir (Frankenstein, MO) for his awakening. I think many Americans have

the mentality of finding a way to produce more for less. Ideally it is the foundation of businesses to increase profits, but at what cost?

The experience he had with antibiotics in his body helped him realize the adverse effects antibiotics were having on his livestock. I

believe Russ took a gigantic gamble by killing his entire inventory but in the end it was worth it to ensure his family and friends did not

consume these products. Compassion and ethics should always win over greed, but unfortunately that’s not always the case. Those in

Missouri have hope now with the Ozark Mountain Pork Cooperative setting above average standards to ensure safe products for

consumption.

As the movie progressed I was being overwhelmed and unsure as to how I could become an advocate and partner. That’s

about the time that we were introduced to Will Allen of the Growing Power Community Food Center (Milwaukee, WI). Living in New

York has left me feeling rundown and displaced from agriculture. Seeing Will Allen’s urban garden relit the candle of hope. Not

only have I wanted a garden here in New York but now I’m encouraged to grow my own vegetables and not conform to this fast

paced society and compromise my family’s health.

This is the reason I chose to run my own companies (Global Pest Solutions and Environmental & Consumer Educators) while

pursuing a degree in Extension Education from Virginia Tech. I wanted to learn new ideas, concepts and strategies and then convey

them to those who either don’t have time to fully research or those who feel a bit intimidated by research. This film is definitely an

eye opener and motivator that should be viewed by all. I watched the movie three times and want share it with as many people as

possible. My hope is not to preach but to provide a healthy and informed option. Far too much of what we receive agriculturally is

one sided, heavily influenced and brutally coheresed by corporations fueling and orchestrating Industrial Agriculture. The movie

raised intelligent questions while presenting real facts and solid solutions. To search locations and show times use this link: http://
