| Collapse all
- • I shall lead the charge to create a Recreational Park or Amusement Center for children/youth engagement in the Mississippi Delta—preferably in District 31.
- • I shall lead the movement to create monuments that celebrate and honor the legacy of those who worked from kin-to-k’aint in cotton fields, on plantations, and in the legislature to make a change in the Mississippi Delta, and throughout the American South.
- • I shall continuously advocate for partnership opportunities between ALL educational, museum, church, financial institutions, and potential industry investors. WE must work together on one accord to serve the needs of the deserving constituents of the entire MISSISSIPPI DELTA!
In addition, I shall work passionately to
• Re-establish a cultural arts center dedicated to the history and culture of African American contributions to the American South.
• Create more and better housing opportunities in the MS Delta, particularly for our elders.
• Initiate job readiness and cultural programs to reduce mass incarceration of our youth, particularly in Mississippi.
• My promise is to work tirelessly to help facilitate a true “Mississippi Delta Renaissance.”
I am bold
I am strong
I am well educated
I am committed to creating a Delta Renaissance in the Mississippi Delta for the benefit of our youth
I am a leader with integrity
I am proud of that I overcame all the social and financial barriers to achieve this major accomplishment. I am even more proud to be able to say, "I am a sistah from the "hood" with a PhD."
The second is a Bill that will legislate a Historical Monument that celebrates and honors the legacy of those who worked from kin-to-k’aint (can’t see in the morning to can’t see at night) in cotton fields and on plantations throughout the South, but primarily in the Cotton Kingdom AKA the Mississippi Delta—Monument design developed by Ed Dwight.
