| "The backdrop of my poetry comes from the 1970's. After the 1965 Watts Riot seven years later there was a concert that was held in Los Angeles, CA called Wattstax. Over 100,000 were in attendance to witness this display of Black Pride at its best. I had the wonderful opportunity of growing up in the seventies when men referred to women as Queens and women referred to men as Kings. That is the sole basis of my poetry to remember how it was and how it should be".

It certainly was successful, as EWF combined high-caliber musicianship, wide-ranging musical genre eclecticism, and '70s multicultural spiritualism. "I wanted to do something that hadn't been done before," Maurice explains. "Although we were basically jazz musicians, we played soul, funk, gospel, blues, jazz, rock and dance music...which somehow ended up becoming pop.

QUOTES "When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire . . . Or preserve his freedom." By Malcolm X "We all go through life and we wonder what our purpose is. The bible says to be fruitful and populate the earth. Then you have ones that change the world forever and leave their mark in history. I have been encompassed with the ability to write and make a person look within to find something that has been hibernating. I have prayed about it and I want to walk in the foot steps of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Barack Obama, Chuck D, Michael Jackson and Spike Lee. I want my words to be felt from the West Indies to East of the equator. I want to leave a permanent stain in the brain of many and everyone. If I offend you then you don’t understand me but if I inspire you then you will learn to love me". By Brother Hypnotic "I’m not going to lie and act like I always thought all hip hop or rap was the world’s greatest thing but PUBLIC ENEMY made me realize that all rap is not the same. They made the world listen; they articulated the frustrations and anger of the black community. More importantly they changed the perception of what hip hop could be. Chuck D said that rap was the CNN of the black community and no one broadcast louder than PUBLIC ENEMY". By Reverend Al Sharpton "ROSA PARKS SAT SO MARTIN LUTHER KING COULD WALK...MARTIN LUTHER KING WALKED SO BARACK OBAMA COULD RUN.... BARACK OBAMA RAN SO WE ALL CAN FLY!" {On the front of an Obama T-shirt} "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) "Maybe if we were still slaves we would be closer but however, picking cotton was bad but we picked it together." Heavy D "Before we can see, we feel and before we can see, we hear." Stevie Wonder (Live on Larry King 2010) “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games, 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan SPEECH I HAVE A DREAM And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. SONG LIFT EV'RY VOICE AND SING Also known as "The Black National Anthem" by JamesWeldon Johnson Lift ev'ry voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring. Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, High as the list'ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast'ning rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee, Shadowed beneath thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land. HISTORY WATTS RIOT With the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, race relations seemed to be headed in the right direction. However, states acted to circumvent the new federal law, including California that created Proposition 14, which moved to block the fair housing section of the Act. This created anger and a feeling of injustice within the inner cities. On August 11, 1965, Los Angeles's South Central neighborhood of Watts became a scene of the greatest example of racial tension America had seen. August 13-16, 1965, the blacks of Los Angeles revolted. An incident between traffic police and pedestrians developed into two days of spontaneous riots. Despite increasing reinforcements, the forces of order were unable to regain control of the streets. By the third day the blacks had armed themselves by looting accessible gun stores, enabling them to fire even on police helicopters. It took thousands of police and soldiers, including an entire infantry division supported by tanks, to confine the riot to the Watts area, and several more days of street fighting to finally bring it under control. Stores were massively plundered and many were burned. Official sources listed 32 dead (including 27 blacks), more than 800 wounded and 3000 arrests. ORIGIN OF BOOKS Antiquity- ancient history, especially the period of time during which the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations flourished Sumerian language cuneiform script clay tablet, 2400–2200 BC When writing systems were invented in ancient civilizations, nearly everything that could be written upon—stone, clay, tree bark, metal sheets—was used for writing. Alphabetic writing emerged in Egypt about 5,000 years ago. The Ancient Egyptians would often write on papyrus, a plant grown along the Nile River. At first the words were not separated from each other (scriptura continua) and there was no punctuation. Texts were written from right to left, left to right, and even so that alternate lines read in opposite directions. The technical term for this type of writing is 'boustrophedon,' which means literally 'ox-turning' for the way a farmer drives an ox to plough his fields. Scroll- a roll of paper, parchment, leather, or other material, used for a written document, or a document written on such a roll Egyptian papyrus showing the god Osiris and the weighing of the heart. Papyrus, a thick paper-like material made by weaving the stems of the papyrus plant, then pounding the woven sheet with a hammer-like tool, was used for writing in Ancient Egypt, perhaps as early as the First Dynasty, although the first evidence is from the account books of King Neferirkare Kakai of the Fifth Dynasty (about 2400 BC).[3] Papyrus sheets were glued together to form a scroll. Tree bark such as lime (Latin liber, from which also comes library) and other materials were also used. According to Herodotus (History 5:58), the Phoenicians brought writing and papyrus to Greece around the tenth or ninth century BC. The Greek word for papyrus as writing material (biblion) and book (biblos) come from the Phoenician port town Byblos, through which papyrus was exported to Greece. From Greek we also derive the word tome (Greek: τόμος), which originally meant a slice or piece and from there began to denote "a roll of papyrus". Tomus was used by the Latins with exactly the same meaning as volumen; Whether made from papyrus, parchment, or paper, scrolls were the dominant form of book in the Hellenistic, Roman, Chinese, and Hebrew cultures. The more modern codex book format form took over the Roman world by late antiquity, but the scroll format persisted much longer in Asia. Codex- a collection of ancient manuscript texts, especially of the Biblical Scriptures, in book form Woman holding a book (or wax tablets) in the form of the codex. Wall painting from Pompeii, before 79 AD. Papyrus scrolls were still dominant in the first century AD, as witnessed by the findings in Pompeii. The first written mention of the codex as a form of book is from Martial, in his Apophoreta CLXXXIV at the end of the century, where he praises its compactness. However the codex never gained much popularity in the pagan Hellenistic world, and only within the Christian community did it gain widespread use. This change happened gradually during the third and fourth centuries, and the reasons for adopting the codex form of the book are several: the format is more economical, as both sides of the writing material can be used; and it is portable, searchable, and easy to conceal. The Christian authors may also have wanted to distinguish their writings from the pagan texts written on scrolls. A Chinese bamboo book Wax tablets were the normal writing material in schools, in accounting, and for taking notes. They had the advantage of being reusable: the wax could be melted, and reformed into a blank. The custom of binding several wax tablets together (Roman pugillares) is a possible precursor for modern books (i.e. codex). The etymology of the word codex (block of wood) also suggests that it may have developed from wooden wax tablets. In the 5th century, Isidore of Seville explained the relation between codex, book and scroll in his Etymologiae (VI.13): "A codex is composed of many books; a book is of one scroll. It is called codex by way of metaphor from the trunks (codex) of trees or vines, as if it were a wooden stock, because it contains in itself a multitude of books, as it were of branches." Library- a room, building, or institution where a collection of books or other research materials is kept Celsus Library was built in 135 A.D. and could house around 12,000 scrolls. Private or personal libraries made up of non-fiction and fiction books, (as opposed to the state or institutional records kept in archives) first appeared in classical Greece. In ancient world the maintaining of a library was usually (but not exclusively) the privilege of a wealthy individual. These libraries could have been either private or public, i.e. for people who were interested in using them. The difference from a modern public library lies in the fact that they were usually not funded from public sources. It is estimated that in the city of Rome at the end of the third century there were around 30 public libraries. Public libraries also existed in other cities of the ancient Mediterranean region (e.g. Library of Alexandria). Later, in the Middle Ages, monasteries and universities had also libraries that could be accessible to general public. Typically not the whole collection was available to public, the books could not be borrowed and often were chained to reading stands to prevent theft. The beginning of modern public library begins around 15th century when individuals started to donate books to towns. The growth of a public library system in the United States started in the late 19th century and was much helped by donations from Andrew Carnegie. This reflected classes in a society: The poor or the middle class had to access most books through a public library or by other means while the rich could afford to have a private library built in their homes. The advent of paperback books in the 20th century led to an explosion of popular publishing. Paperback books made owning books affordable for many people. Paperback books often included works from genres that had previously been published mostly in pulp magazines. As a result of the low cost of such books and the spread of bookstores filled with them (in addition to the creation of a smaller market of extremely cheap used paperbacks) owning a private library ceased to be a status symbol for the rich. In library and booksellers' catalogues, it is common to include an abbreviation such as "Crown 8vo" to indicate the paper size from which the book is made. When rows of books are lined on a book holder, bookends are sometimes needed to keep them from slanting. |

Antwine It was a cold winter night on 12/7/09 myself and Charles Young Sr. sat down with a tape recorder running to converse and grasp on tape this wonderful captivating story of one mans life. It was traditional that every Monday night I would come over for Monday night football. His son Charles Young Jr. and I graduated together so we have been friends for over twenty five years plus. Every Monday night Charles Jr. his father and two uncles would sit around and we would all break bread and socialize. One particular night Charles Sr. and I were discussing the Vietnam War and he told me some remarkable stories and situations that he was involved in. I had no idea he was even in the war at Vietnam until that night. One of the stories I remembered is the one he told me about linking him and his wristwatch and his survival in Vietnam. The story was simple but at the same time compelling. I had just finished my second book UPGRADED NEGRO 20.0 and I was looking for new material. I went home that night and I couldn’t get that story out of my head about the wristwatch. Then it hit me, wow! I just found my new story. Knowing that most soldiers don’t like talking about what happen over in Vietnam, I was very nervous to ask him about doing the story of his life and what took place over in Vietnam. I talked to Charles Jr. about it and he simply said just ask my dad and see what he says. A week later I did and now here we are together recording this conversation. The rest as they say is history, so now please sit back and enjoy this marvelous story of one mans life. I hereby announce and give to you the true story-WRISTWATCH.

FOUR SIXTEEN P.M. SHE ONLY HAS EIGHT HOURS TO SAVE A LIFE COMING SOON By Tina Long Co-written by Tajiye L. Antwine November, 23rd 2009 as the sun sets the wind chill factor is about thirty degrees outside. The city of Sacramento is in a valley an hour and a half from the Bay Area so the winters here feels like the East coast. Walking down the street in Downtown Sacramento during this time of year can be a challenge when accompanied by work associates or friends. Imagine holding a conversation in a Chicago like wind while crossing the cross walk. Literally the wind is a living breathing element that seems to hide behind buildings and structures and can’t wait to jump out and surprise its victims when passing through. Try biting into an ice cream in a cone with your front bottom and top teeth. Then turn to you friend and hold an intellectual conversation. Trust me it’s not going to happen, all you want to do is cover your mouth with your scarf and attempt to speak through it. Today was that type of day and the last place you want to be is in Downtown Sacramento. At 4:16 P.M. the business office of medical and psychological therapy located in Downtown Sacramento will receive a phone call that will change the life of Jessica Jimenez forever. You see, Mrs. Jimenez is a head doctor, shrink, or healer of the mind. It’s not about the money for this prestigious psychologist but it’s about family values and inner acceptance and happiness. Everyone has decisions to make and dilemmas to face. Even a good hearted person with morals can be pushed to the limit when it comes to family, work and ethics. It’s a proven fact that loneliness causing death and suicides are up during the holiday seasons. With Thanksgiving right around the corner the average family is preparing for a day of thankfulness and togetherness, the lonely and unstable are thinking of ways to end all the pain. It is now 4:16 P.M. the phone rings, the dilemma begins………………… BLACK GENESIS "LET IT BE RE-WRITTEN" COMING 2014 By BROTHER HYPNOTIC Early Press release by an Editor at Eber & Wein Publishing This poem enraptures the reader with sentimental reflections, expressing the true language of emotion.
