Lincoln Statue Freedmen Memorial Rally! Tomorrow !

New Hope Family Church: Lincoln Statue Freedmen Memorial Rally! Tomorrow !

Jim Boothby July 13, 2020

Dear Friends and New Hope Church,

Please join us TOMORROW, Tues 7/14, for an African-American led Clergy and Christian Activist Rally to Defend the Lincoln Emancipation Memorial. "An effort to promote racial healing and harmony, freedom, and unity, and stave off leftists mobs that vowed to destroy the Freedmen Memorial". (Apologies short notice, things are happening fast!)

"Defend the Lincoln Memorial Emancipation Freedmen's Memorial Statue, Captial Street and12th street SE

***Emancipation Freedmen Memorial paid for by former slaves & dedicated by Frederick Douglas *** Perhaps not the statue one might have done in 2020, but an amazingly important milestone in 1876 nevertheless.

Our friend and partner, African-American Christian activist, Star Parker, rally originator, in her own words, said, "After leftists vowed to destroy the Freedmen Memorial they revealed that racism is not their target. They want to redefine how our country was founded on a truth, they reject. That truth is that God created man to be free. And this truth explains America's

outsized achievements. This monument was paid for by former slaves in 1876 and Frederick Douglass gave a magnificent speech about freedom in front of it when it was unveiled. The left seeks power to transform America. If they obtain it, they will destroy freedom."

Please join us! Clergy and Christians as the "true owners of America" as Mother Moon said 2 years ago. . Urbancure has called on the US Congress to protect this monument. And support our African American Christian activists friends. (Urbancure ..https://urbancure.org/freedmen ) These very Abel-type events unfortunately are quite rare. The norm coast to coast has been historic art and statues of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Colombus, and even Mother Mary have been smashed and desecrated with little audible reaction from the public.

Network, exchange business cards, expand ACLC contacts, meet book recipients, volunteer for registration of security. I will speak briefly along with 8 others. Nice chance to invite your minister contacts, pastor friends, political friends, both black and white. Nice time for the people of God to lead! Hard to guestimate - but , 100-500 people are expected. One major TV network is on board for rally-long coverage and others expected. Peaceful**Ideal Weather** Masks of course ** Social distancing and Fun naturally!

Bring Signs, even small to medium, handheld OK, Flags

Protect The Emancipation Memorial

This Emancipation Memorial, pictured below, was literally paid for by former slaves. Help us preserve this historic statue in Lincoln Park that Black Lives Matter, liberals and Antifa want to destroy. Help us sustain the deep history of African Americans and the freedom they fought and died for. If you agree this is part of the heart and soul of our country, sign our petition right now. Our goal is 10,000 signatures.

BACKGROUND

In 1869, the funding for an Emancipation Memorial after President Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, featuring a statue of Lincoln, had begun with a $5 donation from a former slave, Charlotte Scott, from Virginia. All of the initial funds raised were from donations from former slaves, later matched by donations from The Western Sanitary Commission, a St. Louis-based volunteer war-relief agency. The sculptor, Thomas Ball, had an acceptable model made, but the group of freedmen behind the monument wanted to have a real freedman pose for it. They gave Ball a photo of Archer Alexander (seen below), and he was chosen as the model.

Before Black Lives Matter demands that white folk learn black history, perhaps black folk like DC Mayor Bowser and congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes- Norton need to learn more black history. Archer Alexander is not kneeling, as a track star prepared to run a dash. The kinetic motion in this figure shows him just emancipated to stand and run his race as a free man.

This Freedmen’s Statue should not only remain standing in Lincoln Park, but this is the sacred location where President Trump ought to place the new Memorial Park he envisions to honor great American heroes who worked tirelessly to unify the races -- to be named Unity Park.
