An African in America 2020: A mother’s hope for social justice
Reflections on the killing of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, by Minneapolis Police
by Remonia A. Bowie
I have a son … an only son … a son with golden, caramel, brown skin – kissed by the sun
I have a son … born in Berkeley, born in California – as I was born in Charleston, born in South Carolina – born in America
What will his 33 years old eyes see, today, in America?
What does his golden, sun kissed, 6-foor-2-inch body feel, as he walks on American shores?
Does he feel safe? … Does he feel free? – born in America … a proud descendant of tall, strong, colorful African Kings and Strategic Warriors!
Does he feel safe? … Does he feel free? – born in America, a descendant of Southern Greed chained and restricted for plantation free labor, the theft of his ancestors’ physical strength.
I have a son … an only son … who turns on the American evening news and sees reflections of his African tribes … on American shores, chained, restricted and NOT free!
