inventions, accomplishments, or activism have a huge impact on making this world a much better place. For some, it goes far beyond this to being able to finally tell their

past, present, and future descendants of African American slaves. Can you imagine a place where your rights are based on the color of your skin?

In the United States in the 1950's and earlier, if you had black skin, you could not stay in hotels and could not eat inside restaurants. If you were a Black child you could only go to a special school set aside just for Black children. You could not go to the public

ESCAPE PLAITS How did smart, courageous Colombia, South America people use what God had given them growing right there on their own heads to outsmart slave holders and escape? This is exactly what the first free Black township in all the Americans is known for doing way back then.

This was the escape by plaits braids plan that worked! There was no reading and writing. But people sent secret signal messages, made escape maps, and stored survival things like gold and seeds in a cornrow braids plaits style called “departes.”

Slave holders never noticed, never touched a black slave’s hair. Therefore, escape plans were pretty much safe, and lead to freedom. The city of San Basilio de Palenque created by the escaped slaves and their descendants still exists.

NEW NORMAL KINGS Kings from ancient times sometimes were given special names that tell what they were like. Richard the Lion-Hearted was said to be very brave. Ivan the Terrible, a Russian prince, was said to be very mean.

Today Jesus is still called the prince of peace and King of kings. Jesus is still in the business of friending, protecting, and saving humankind. This is one of the reasons why people form a relationship with Jesus like they would with a caring best friend.

In addition to Jesus, God still blesses us with a good king(s): The kind of king who listens to God and impacts the world in ways that help everyone.

Ever heard of Dr. Martin Luther King?

Do you know any new normal kings like King Saysay or other people who could be possible future new normal king(s)? I Am Every Good Thing, is a good book for a possible future new normal king or queen to read.
