0:00. . . Hey, hey, WBCL, LV102.9 up in Boston, a solid moment, this is what this is going to be. We have some fantastic people coming in here today. My name is Hayward Penelope, this program is brought to you by Triad Veterans League. Veterans are overlooked and underused communities. We saw this, but we disagree with them, and we try to be as active as possible, getting the word out about veterans and their benefits and whatever their needs are.

1:048572045312 is for you to call. And nobody answers, leave your name and number. And a brief message, and we'll get back to you today. We have here two outstanding, contributing citizens of the city of Boston living in the district called seven. We have the grant to here today. And we have his wife, Kai, and we have the brother Christopher here. Welcome to two of you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you for taking time to come in and talk about the work that you are doing, and whatever else you think you need to say to alert our community to whatever it is that they need to be alerted about. I'll leave that up to you, but I just want our listening audience to know and understand the importance of the work,

2:09the sacrifices that you have made for our community to begin to realize that they can do some things themselves. But we have to be a fist and not a finger when we move forward. We have to be able to keep our word as you kept your word and brought events to our community that long had long been forgotten. You researched that energy and brought people to your events. And I'm so proud to be affiliated with you as I'm sure that our listening audience will be more appreciative of knowing who it was that invoked the spirit. And we've got to keep that spirit out there. We've got to grow with that spirit and grow in that spirit. And that's why you hear the day, and I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful to meet your parents and your mother and understand where it's coming from.

3:14Yes. You know, we ought to always look at our ancestors and be so appreciative of our ability to come together for things like the black market and other things that you have produced and created or reinvented. Amen. How you doing today? Little emotional. So I'm talking about a whole lot of talking and barking. I was you guys. We can't deal with that, folks. You know, we got to deal with the now, not the then. See? Yes. I'm talking to the people out there now. You know, we got to deal with that. You know, when it's mistakes of me, don't try to cover them up. Don't do that. Because you haven't corrected them and you're bearing them and it might not need a whole lot of correcting. You know, you just might need to talk to some people like Kaya and Christopher.

4:14And see, they didn't bring you to the table because you're able. They want to make you weak and weak. We can't have that. We will not have that. This is the other page radio program. And we're so happy to have two voices that I want to talk about what we are doing and how we can do it. Tell us what's the latest thing Christopher, if you don't mind. I think that, you know, to start up with maybe like an introduction of ourselves. Just to kind of give some understanding of our mindset. You know, we come out of, like you mentioned, some pretty good parents. And it's a good experience that we grew up in in terms of being children of the 60s. And children of the civil rights movement and seeing a lot of things

5:19that you don't see now anymore, which is one of the things that's disheartening to us. And as we don't see those things that we used to see, we are using one of the phrases that we have is, you know, we want to be the change that we want to see. You'll be the change you want to see. And always looking for somebody else to be that change. But the change lies within ourselves. So we stand on that. And what we've done is we've set out to kind of deal with some issues as residents of Roxbury to deal with some things that we are seeing disappear. And one of those things is the people and the shoulders that we stand on, those kinds of people. You know, we're looking for those kinds of people. And we're looking within ourselves to represent the kinds of people, which the shoulders that we stand on. And so we set out to embark on an adventure and journey with this business called Black Market,

6:28which is a new being square. My wife is very good at giving the actual history of how it started. How are you getting on the spot? Because you're so good at it. I don't want to be put on the spot, but you're so good at it. Just a small introduction for Black Market. Well, I thought we were introducing ourselves. I gave a little bit, you know, in terms of who we are, in terms of where we come from, you know. Listen, I know one thing is that I'm the fruit of the berry. And the berry has been my family's home for over 100 years. We call Roxbury the berry. And that's how it was set forward in my childhood. I come from educators and Black liberators and freedom fighters and orators and abolitionists and folks that were civically engaged and also served this country and helped to liberate population of enslaved Africans during the Civil War and perhaps even Black loyalists.

7:31I think that in terms of Black market and the establishment of that venue, it's a social enterprise. It is a mission driven for profit. We are for profit because our community is in dire need of capital and of investment. And we try to highlight Black cooperative economics over capitalism. We also try our best to make sure that we take dollars that are made and reinvest them inside of Roxbury, Nubian Square and keep people and remind people that we can collectively actually make impact. Well, I got to say this, you know, my experience is one that shows the importance of the work that you're doing despite the doubt that we have in ourselves

8:38and being able to accomplish things, you have not allowed that to become a part of your strategy by doubting what you can do. You have done it. And, you know, when I see the work that you've done, when I've seen the seeds that you have planted, I understand now even more so about botany and plants and seeds. I understand that a seed is not a tree, a seed is an orchard. You see, that's what you have been doing. It may not look like that because the seed doesn't just pop up. There are some things that the seed has to go through while it's hidden before it takes root to become a plant. Right. You have been able to do that in a lot of different ways and that to some people is unsettling.

9:40And we have to understand the conditions of growth includes rains, storms, and all of those things that take place and the move about of the rocks that protect the plants is open to the sunshine. And the growth begins on another level. See, you are now in the sunshine state of the growth of black market. The sunshine state of the growth of black market. That's where you are as individuals with a mission. Yes. We have in life cycles. You are in one cycle for 20 years and then you move from that cycle to another cycle. You can't go back in the second cycle and redo the first cycle. You have to be able to make the necessary adjustments so that you can blend the two to go to the third cycle.

10:45Amen. You are now in a position of decision-making and you are not alone in that decision-making process. You are here today to talk about the necessity of working together. It is very important that we understand where we are in this city. And right now, we got to stop talking, stop barking and take some action that's supportive of that, which you are building. You have the infrastructure for a small empire and we all start small before we get larger. And we haven't had that. I don't think until I've seen the work that you guys have done. I know we had male king, you know, and around that time I think that the thinking stopped.

11:54They thought that they had reached a level of accomplishment in Manhattan and they've been barking and they've been talking. And they've been walking away. But you didn't walk away. The two of you have stayed. I remember we were up there doing the thing on the Sunday with the people with the sewing. At the Roxbury Heritage State Park. That's right. Yes. And those people that were there were fed confidence. And they need to understand that you are just two people that love your community and they should love their community as you do. Even around me for six hours.

12:55I got something from there. I looked at their faces in those places. I was so happy. I said, why are they doing this to? And the other thing that you've done is being community oriented. We are not beggars. You let them know that. You know, it's okay to want to have something for yourself. It's okay to push back on writing proposals and being competitive with your neighbor for a few crumbs. You're not a bum. We don't need no peanuts. We're not monkeys. You have shown them. You and Christopher have shown them that dedication, commitment, with your sons, where other family members can work. I say.

13:57I don't know what it is, but I know it is. And we got to follow that. We got to follow that trail. I see them. They see me. Community development corporations that don't do nothing for our veterans. I see all the houses they got here, there, everywhere. Condos coming up. Not really taking care of the community as they should. Nobody asks them questions. When they do things and somebody should. I look at different things in the city that's supposed to represent progress. And the only thing I see is black market.

15:02And I'm not saying that because you're here, because you're my guest, because I know you live black market. And I had a friend tell me one time he was in the lifestyle that I used to be in, and how people wanted to be involved. You have to live what you say you are. If you tell me that you're going to put up a building, I'm with you. Why am I with you? Because I know your work. I know your capabilities. And I know that when I look back, I see all those seeds that were doing things and had merchandise. And a little table set up that came about because of black market. You cannot refute the truth. You must live with it. You must live with it.

16:03This is the other page where the other name is saved for now. I'll get today. Other grant too. Kai and Christopher. We are talking about a few things. We're going to go to commercial break. And we'll be right back. The Triad Veterans League is a community-based education and cultural enrichment program that is seeking U.S. military veterans interested in the arts and literacy enhancement. Interested? You can check out our website at Triad Veterans League Boston. That is Triad Veterans League Boston all one word dot com. Veterans are an overlooked and underused community resource. And thank you for your service. Back again folks, you know, I don't use a whole lot of this time talking about other things. But I must tell you that this morning I had a call down to the commission of veteran services for the city of Boston. And he'll be on May the 13th.

17:03But my question to him is housing. Let's find out what the city council is doing, which is nothing. We're also going to talk about food. How do we get food to our veterans in need of food? And early I wanted to talk to him when he comes on our show and I have a continuing conversation about people that have dementia and symptoms of Alzheimer's. And the importance of providing care for them and we reached out to have a conversation with some folks. And they agreed to talk with the commissioner of our providing facilities for our veterans in need. They have mental English. Mental English, I said, you know, I didn't I didn't miss use that word. No, they were walking around here in the VA based on a study. A scientific survey study short, but we did it. Tried veterans league did it.

18:04And we did the survey to show that because the lack of coastal sensitivity. African American veterans do not do not go in the numbers that they should to the VA hospital. And so we got to try to do something for our veterans. That includes getting some food and food information where they can get food from me. Have these people standing in these lines and never serve the country. Never wore a uniform. And they and they make a daily thing to get food. So we want to try to take care of our veterans. So remember 8572045312. That's for you to call if you're a veteran or no veteran in need of service. But let me just say another thing about the black market. We need the black market in our community. It's biggest they want it. You have to come down there when they actively start in the warm part of the season.

19:06Or whenever they do something for the community. You got to say, why do they do this? Why are they doing that? And then you have to look at it and simply say because they care. Because they care. And I want you to care. Because if we don't care about ourselves, nobody's going to care about us. The black market is symbolic of care. Doing things together. They extended. They allowed the Oscar Michelle Family Theater Program Company come to the black market facility. So you've got to remember that the black market is not a facility. It is a mindset. You got to think like that folks. You know what we say black market? We got to go to Sniper South, think it right.

20:06And getting things done. But if you think the black market is just a building then you better talk to Kai. You better talk to Christopher. It's a lifestyle. It's what it is. I mean they do things so arranged that you think that it's a whole lot of people doing it. But it's a whole lot of people benefiting from what they do. You know, we got to understand the analogy of thinking so that we don't be stinking around here. With them old ideas. Talking about what it was back in the 70s and 60s. And they didn't do nothing but what they're doing now talking. So Christopher tell me a little bit more about your involvement in the black market please. I'm one of the founders, one of the half of other founders. And basically like she's the mother, I'm the father. Okay.

21:06A black market. And you know it's our child. It's family. It's growing family. And something that we put our heart and we invested our mind, our bodies, our souls, our blood, our sweat, our tears, our money. You know, if you know I often tell people you want to know what somebody's heart is, see what they spend their money. That's what we spend our money. Christopher you did something this morning though came to my attention to a friend that knows you and appreciates you, you know him. And it has something to do with April date. You talk a little bit about that. I'm sorry. Who's it? You wrote something on your page on Facebook. So April 30th is the date that the option to purchase our building expires.

22:10We are currently in a process of raising a certain amount in terms of down payment and purchase of the actual edifice. They're building the actual building where we're black market resides, which is at 2136 Washington Street in Nubian square, formally deadly. I think that's what you're referring to brother Haywood. We launched a campaign called they thought they could bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds. We are the food of the berry and we understand harvesting, we understand sowing and reaping. We understand that that is probably one of the most understood, what are we calling it a law sowing and reaping.

23:19We're in a spiritual battle right now. We called on our community, our people, our tribe, and we were fortunate enough for folks to answer that call. We've had over 100,000 views within 48 hours. We have a petition and it will fund me and people have been sharing the word and we feel loved, we feel seen. But it is timely. This is time sensitive. We're on day 15 before we're doing a countdown. But we're also people of faith and we are believing in America and things will open, indoors will open, portals will open, windows will open, roofs will come off.

24:27We want to make sure that we can see our community and we'll be in the market this weekend and all throughout. People can go to our social platforms and check out what we will be posting calendars and more information around this campaign called they thought they could bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds. We're going to do right now, Lord God is going to call on you, Father, because we know God that does nothing that you can't do, won't do any time, any place or anywhere. All we have to do is say the six word prayer, Lord, six words, God, the first three being help us, Lord, and when the help comes, Lord God, we've got three more words, Father, thank you, Lord. Six words that we send this moment in this time. For guy, for Christopher, for their health, for their building, for their strategy to include people, because we know God that there's nothing that you can't do, won't do any time or any place or anywhere.

25:44We say these things, Lord God, because we believe in you, Father, we know you hear this prayer, Lord God, and we ask that you be there, Lord, for these two, Father, that are doing the work that you would have them do, God, in the name of your son, Jesus. We pray, we stay, we stay and say again, amen, amen, hallelujah, hallelujah, amen. For the God, we know God that you hear this prayer, Father. You've heard my petitions for so long, Lord God, and I'm so grateful to know that you heard them, and I see the results, Lord God, of you hear my prayer, and I ask that you hear this prayer, Lord, this time, for guy, for Christopher, for the world. For the work that you've allowed them to do, we pray, we say, we stay and say again, amen, amen, hallelujah, amen, amen. Nobody told me that the road would be easy, and I don't believe you brought me this bar to leave me. Amen, hallelujah.

27:00You know, I want to comfort the people in the community and let them know that it's okay to support. It's okay to support the work that they're doing. And I'm going to ask you, I'm going to ask you, you can go to their place, and I'm going to ask guy to give them the information for you so you can go to. Kai, can you give us the contact information, please? Sure. People can go to our Black Market page and find out more information about our change.org petition and go find me on Facebook. On our Black Market Nubian Facebook page, or Black Market Nubian Instagram page, more information will be up on blackmarketnubian.com.

28:06Soon, this weekend, people can attend events this upcoming marathon weekend, we're actually going to be having DJ Marathons. And some Black Market content, and videos, and interviews, and dancing, and connecting, and some food. We want to be able to gather in our space. And bring them in now. Hey, listen, the ancestors are very strongly rooted, and we want our culture to continue as it once did with A Nubian notion. The concept came out of, yeah, it came out of, out of brother Melik, Abdel Halex, you know, vision.

29:10We are the notion, you know, we are the notion that he had. And, you know, brother Jake, his son, and his other family members have been a part of our marketplace and been a part of the Black Market family since launch in 2017. Next year will be 10 years. I just had a thought that if I was to equate our inspiration from Nubian notion as the soul of what we do, that the inspiration of Kenneth Guscott's tower was the spirit of what we do. Because he was leading in such a way that you could see that the neighborhood was going to be transformed, if that had continued. Versus. Versus, it not continuing, which is what happened. But versus what is specifically taken, what was able to take root because that did that transformation of Afro-centered thought didn't was not able to move forward.

30:21But we were so much aware and in tune with it, I truly believe that. And especially, I know for myself that I was inspired by what he was doing. You know what doing? I'm going to tell you something. He was a veteran, by the way. Yes, I know. He was in the Navy with Admiral Burry. Thank you so much for bringing that up. I did interview Mr. Guscott before he passed. And I was writing for a newspaper in Western part of Massachusetts, but look. We know that manure, M-A-N-U-R-E, is fertilizer. We just don't need too much to grow. And when I say that, I'm talking about the, you know, the plenty of manure in the growing process is kind of productive. People do a lot of talking and you brought up a good point when you mentioned Mr. Guscott and his building of a system where the employees benefited from the rental property.

31:33And eventually he was able to do that. He built the state of bank building downtown and he looked out for people, you know, that work for him. And somewhere along the line, again, the thinking stopped. You know, we can never, ever stop thinking, or we'll be sinking. And we can't have that. We have here today two good friends of the community, long line family involvement. And all they say to you is we want to continue the work that we have been doing with the purchase of a building. And all you have to do is go to the places that you are directed to go to and be supportive. Come out this weekend. She said things about activities of whether it's breaking up.

32:38Remember, remember the parades and the days of having cultural significant events down on Washington Street and in the park there, this parking lot, if you will. Brought on by black market concept. We got to spread that like we do peanut butter and jelly smoothly. So it can be enjoyed. Nobody like no bumpy peanut butter sandwiches. You know, I want you to understand that Kai and Christopher, they don't have no schedule. They do things when they feel the need to do them when they put that flag up in Gordon Memorial Park. They put the flag up over there and it stayed up there. The liberation flag, red, black and green.

33:42We got to understand the significance of when people raised their culture to the level that they're doing. We running around here, saluting the flag that they was using like a rag to hang on people. I wore the uniform they call me in the uniform. But I knew who I was and I knew these two good people are. And I want you to consider what they're doing and why you shouldn't be doing something to. This is the other page radio. My name is Hey, who for now, this program, WBC. A L P 102.9 FM Boston Boston Community Radio Station. And we're talking about veterans and we're talking about some wonderful people doing some wonderful work. And we don't want it to stop and we want you to help us.

34:42We want you to help us. I mean, I've been around them. I see what they do. Not just for you, not just for me, but for the entire community. How about that? How about coming out this Saturday? How about finding out about the different things that they're going to be doing throughout the month to help them reach the goal that they need to? Help them reach the goal that they need to because I'm going to tell you something. The work that they are doing has brought a lot of identity to people that were walking and running around that didn't have no connection to their culture. None at all. They were them. They were not us. When you go to an event that honors your people, your culture, like the one that I went to at Black Market with them young people in there.

35:47That was a real good experience. I really enjoyed myself. I see them talking with each other. Chris, we've got to have more of that. We've got to have more of that and in order for us to do that, we've got to get you where you need to go. Folks, come on out. Show up. Enjoy yourself. It's going to be a lot of activities. You know that stuff soaks in. People are going to appreciate what I went there a couple of times. People are tired of reading. You are tired of reading. Coming from the hospital, working on this rehabilitation. His spirit got lifted and it's still being lifted. And the people that were there were new to the Black Market. And they enjoyed the reception that Chris and Kai gave the people from the community.

36:48It's so important that we give back and they notice and they say, Brother Hayward, we'll do it. Not the only one that's benefited from the Black Market, but I want those that have benefited from the Black Market. I want you to consider doing some things for the Black Market now. I don't think I'm wrong in asking you to support them. So come on out and do something. Let them know you care about the work that they're doing. Putting all those things up, you know, for the cultural events that you have down there. I'm rocking down there, boy. They be making waves so they can get the people in there. We need that. We need that. I'm still going to add the weather is changing. I hope it stays this way, by the way. You know, we can only pray for the weather because it's different between the weatherman and the weatherman. You know, we want to be on track. We want to be on track. Kai said a little bit more about these coming days and what we got to look forward to, please.

37:52Sure. Before I say that folks can come to certain things. I just wanted to highlight and underscore that this is way bigger than Black Market. Our communities across the nation are being really ravaged and, you know, our history is under attack. There's a lot of intimidation, you know, and folks are, you know, finding themselves jobless at rates that I don't think we've seen in decades, you know, business shuttering and closures. And these are Black owned typically and women owned and, you know, as a result, you see households struggling beyond reason and without cushion and without the support systems that we used to have in our communities prior to segregation.

39:01I think that, you know, that was the trick of the enemy is to, you know, for us to believe that we needed to move out of our communities and into someone else's. But there was also so many different factors that contributed. I'm not going to get into. Not right now anyway. Not right now. I think it's important to think about ways of keeping, you know, a tightly knit and woven quilted kind of story in the physical and in the spiritual. People can find out more information about events again on our Facebook Black Market page and Instagram. This weekend in particular, we're having DJ Marathons for Marathon because the boss of Marathon is this weekend from 12 noon to 12 a.m. midnight.

40:05All different genres of music and different activities inside of the market. Next Sunday, people can attend a call to prayer on Sunday, April the 26th. I think it's going to be important, you know, they can find out more information and, you know, maybe it will start around eight or so, but there's more information that you can find on our social platforms. The importance of us coming together in Brother Haywood, you know, you got to be there. You got to, you got to be there. This is, this is a moment in time that we have to cry out and we have to, you know, put on the full armor and go out there as spiritual veterans and as folks that understand that we fight against, you know, principalities and wickedness and high places.

41:07And what we do, we do the work of manifestation into the physical realm. That's part of our gifts and part of what our families have passed down to us and what we have hopefully been able to pass down to our seed. So thank you for bringing those things to attention, but folks can go and get more information. Our event list will be out by tonight, no later than tomorrow morning. So make sure you send those things to me so that we can get them on our YouTube page. We have a YouTube page. Let me let people know. But the wonderful work that Tyree S Brown with the knee is doing for Triad Veterans League. Our website is tryadveteransleagueboston.com. Tryadveteransleagueboston.com. You can go there and get all the information and I'm going to ask Tyree when Kai sends me her information to get it up.

42:18You know, because we want to get your information, which will become that information to as many people as we can because the work that you're doing cannot be stopped. We will not allow it to be stopped and it won't be because of just money, it will be because of the power of prayer. You must believe that our prayers are stronger than we are because we are sending them to a higher power called God. And we will be fine. While you were talking, it just hit me like that, Kai. You know, so let's continue to work in the path that we're on. That's not Tyree Dali with those that will try to hold us up on the fake side. You know, because we know that they don't know, but we do. And so like you said, we're not going to lay down. We're not going to sit down or be around.

43:18We're going to do the job, which is to continue to build the spirit of our people through the work that is being done by you and your husband. Thank you. Don't thank me. Thank the Lord because I never see myself so much involved in good things. You know, I've been in the streets all my life. I've been hustling all my life, man. And one thing or another, but these last 30 years have been so meaningful to me to have the kind of people in my life and God allowed me to have a life. You got to see the minister. You got to see the minister. Yeah, you are the man. Detroit brand. We got that right there. Continue to believe in God. Yes, because God believes in us. That's why you're sitting here and telling people about the importance of your work.

44:18If you don't claim your work, who gonna claim it? You either day to claim your work and let them know that we ain't going nowhere. This is the other page radio program folks, but we are in the community and we have two leaders from our community. There's no reason why you should not be a part of something good. Here's a man and a woman, a husband and a wife that have dedicated themselves to making a change in how we think. I wish you could see the expression on the faces of those people that do the vendering at your tables, but so many of them, you can't look at all of them, but I took time to look at those people, their eyes. See, it's a different between I was talking about the coast for earlier. It's a different between looking and seeing. See, I was seeing the joy of somebody holding something in their hand and offering it to a person that had money in their hands and was buying it.

45:30That's a good feeling. When you see somebody that look like you, they're taking their money out of their pocket, while you wrap up their gift, that they might be buying for somebody else. You got all kinds of products they had there, and they even had the vestuance calendar. I think that's the first time I met you, right? Yeah, about that time and now. And now, today, I talked to a young man who sent me some information from the office of United States Congress and Jim McGovern, who suggested that we create a proposal to create a United States commemorative stamp proposal to go to the United States Postal Service, and that's what we're doing, and he gave me the information. I had to go to Jim McGovern because he's the one that kicked it off the idea. And we've been able to collect signatures and be able to collect petitions from City Council, from Cambridge, and different people and everything, because that's the truth.

46:38So when you look at the black market and what's going on with them, that's the truth. That's the way our ancestors did things, is the way that they're doing things today. You know what's interesting, Brother Haywood, is that you mentioned the marketplace. The marketplace is how we launched, and the way I look at marketplace is that it is energy of exchange. The reason why we established the marketplace is because we had gone to several countries on the continent of Africa. And I noticed the trend, even throughout the diaspora in the islands, that there's always a marketplace. It's central to our culture, to have a place of exchange. It's cultural exchange, it's exchange of ideas, it's exchange of energies, it's exchange of monies. And what I think about in terms of money, as I look at money, like it's a seed, we are planting seeds inside of each other for our dreams to grow, and to be nourished, and to be watered, and to be nurtured, and a safe environment.

47:51And I feel as though that energy is necessary to keep the newbie and inubian. You have to think about things, I mean, I think that's the hard part, is there may not be a lot of thought about this geographical part of the city. There seems to be more thought about other places in and around our more investment, right? So when I say more thought, saying there's intentional investment in places, and then there's intentional disinvestment in other places. And so I think it's been our mantle to kind of keep the energy of an inubian notion, and Ujima Mart, and international roots, and the black rep theater and providence, like because we've also opened up space for theater and oratory inside of black market. It's a part of being a planter, it's a part of being a farmer, it's a part of being someone who knows how to cultivate.

49:00It's a plan. That's the energy that we need more of cultivation. Let me just say something to you, you know, because when you talk about planning, you know, you really got to know what you're talking about, you know, and I know you know what you're talking about, right? Now you've been putting the same plants in the same space without any stop. You know, every year you go to save, you drop the same crop, and then the crop begins to wither, and there is no surplus. What you have done, you and your husband have done, is to re-energize the planning soil. Yes. So that we not only understand the mechanics of planning, we have brought in other fruits to be planted, like in confidence, insurance, tenacity, and belief in ourselves.

50:12Because we can no longer allow other people to tell us what's good for our culture and what's not good for our culture. Black market is good for our culture. You have proven that. You've come from families that taught you that. People that I've met in your family, your blood, and that's a wonderful thing. That helps people understand why you are the black market and not just my market. You know, we are so grateful to the two of you for your continuance, your every now and then stopping to say to people, this is what we are doing for our community. And that's what you're doing. And we can never stop loving you, we can never stop honoring you, because we need to have you where you want to be.

51:19And that's what we're talking about today. Folks, don't just hear, listen to what they have done and what they want to do with your help. We can accomplish what they want to accomplish. We can get that money up together. We can't talk about it like that on this particular station. But since the guy has given you the information of how you can go and see what you can do for this project, and that's all we're asking you to do. Take a look and be a winner. Don't wonder what happened, make something happen. You know, we got a lot of people saying, I wonder what that was, how did that happen? Black market can tell you what will happen if you get in line of support for them.

52:20This is the other page radio program brought to you by Chia's Veterans League. And we just want to thank the cast of Chia's Veterans League for their performing on March the 28th in Cambridge at the Cambridge Ridge in Latin School in the Fitzgerald Auditorium. They liked us. We liked them, but we will be doing something else later on this year. And we want to talk and thank Kai and Christopher for giving us such an opportunity to honor Chia Reid as Brown who is dealing with our YouTube page, you know. And I want to make sure that we get the information from Kai so that we can put that information on our YouTube page. We want to do all that we can for the grants because they are doing a phenomenal job.

53:25It's like they obligated. And if they're obligated, I'm obligated. It's part of the life's purpose, you know, like it's beyond, it's not a traditional, you know. This is the work that we, it's part of our calling, you know, it's part of, it's part of the station in life. It's ministry. Yeah, it's ministry. It is absolute ministry. And, you know, we believe in the word and we believe, you know, that the parable of the sower and what, you know, the good work that God has started within us, he will complete. Yeah, you got, yeah, there's no question about that. Yeah. You already know that part. Yeah. So we don't believe this is the end. I think this might be a new beginning. Yeah. I think it might be a new beginning. We're talking about, we're talking about an involvement. Right. Evolution.

54:25Yeah. It's the evolution of the revolution. No question. No question. Of course, we're riding down now. I'm about to put that down now. Evolution. That's a, that's a brother Haywood statement right now. The evolution of the revolution. Yes. We're going to do this, man. We can't play around. If we're going to stay around. Oh. We're going to get you into the rap studio. We're going to get you into the rap studio. Yeah. We're going to play around and stay around. Listen. But we ain't going to play around because we ain't got time for that. Mm-hmm. Fixed stuff. Mm-hmm. Come on now. Folks, this is really a great day today for me. Among other things. My friends who are here today, they took time. And thank you so much. God. Thank you so much, Christopher, for taking time from your business schedule. Thank you. No, we need to thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We need to, we need to listen. We're celebrating you. We call, we call each other. And I know that's just a guy back in there somewhere.

55:27You know, she's going to have to talk, but I know she isn't there somewhere. Because we need to be comforted by the words that come out your mouth. And the word that you do in the community is real. Mm-hmm. Not to spell R-E-E-L-S-B-R-E-A-L. Mm-hmm. You know, you continue in the lineage that we thought was over with. No. It's a new lineage, but it's in the same direction. It's the other lineage. I know everybody enjoyed this show because I did. And here's the other thing. They'll be back. There's no way that the grants can't get back up in this program. We're coming back with good news. Yeah, we're going to come. We're coming back with the good news. We're coming back. Coming back with the good news. We can come back and report. We got the good news. This has been the other page.
