NNPA NEWSWIRE — Given the fact that today in America, Black Americans and other communities of color are being told to shut up, stay asleep, don’t stay woke, keep quiet, enjoy the benefits of enslavement, don’t vote, engage in self-destruction, be hopeless, and to accept consignment to poverty, police brutality, racial hatred and indignity, l believe that Joann Watson’s reverberant call on Detroiters to “Wake Up,” should be extrapolated to a national call to all Americans to “Wake Up.”
