Listen "Father's Day Prayers/Juneteenth"
Episode Synopsis
Opening our morning, we began with purposeful prayer in celebration of Father’s Day. Joined by Pastor Roderick Zak, we spoke with several pastors who shared their words and devotions. We prayed for the safety, discipline, and good health of the men in our community, as well as voiced the recognition and appreciation of fathers. Thank you to Pastor’s Roderick Zak, Willie C. Barnes, and David Jacques, Bishop’s Allen Wiggins and Derrick McRae, and Reverend Terence Gray for the prayers and blessings on this Father’s Day.
In the second hour we spoke with State Senator Geraldine Thompson, our “historian”, who discussed the unfolding and history of Juneteenth. As a community we must take responsibility for educating our people. Curator of the Wells’Built Museum, State Senator Thompson find its important to showcase our history and have the necessary spaces to educate. In favor of teaching, we spoke about SB 1008 requires the instruction of the History of the Holocaust and the history of African Americans in school districts. https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1008
