Atlanta has a new statue honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Located in the Rodney Cook Sr. Peace Park, the statue was inspired by Dr. King’s “I Have Been to the Mountaintop” speech. It stands as a reminder of Dr. King’s message of peace and justice.
This week marks the 55th anniversary of Dr. King’s untimely death. He lived a mere 39 years yet left one of the greatest legacies of all time. We celebrate and remember his life and legacy.
Our beloved Coach Mike "Big MIke" Jennings, was a gem to our community. He was a baseball coach to many having been a part of starting the Baseball program at Adams Park and was a proud Mays High Alumni Benjamin E. Mays Raiders Alumni Class of 1991. Please show up for our leader and brother and share.
It has been quite the close of my bEarthday. Thankh You For The Wishes.
Condolences to all of those who has experienced losses recently. I join this listing with many more to the ancestral call. 4 Greats!
1) Mrs. Griggs - Jackson - Our community mama. Always on cool, and gone make sure you full. I'll miss our conversations and check-ins, and reminders that I am always welcome to come by and say "hello", as I was usually always on the run. Even when I couldn't eat the food she prepared, she made sure I left with something for somebody in my house. Truly will be a flare missing in the community, and I am keeping my promise, your/my family are good.
2) Big Mike / Coach Jennings - Our community coach. Mays High & SWATS Baseball Community, We have lost one of our biggest advocates. Much love to him and his family for all the work he has done in building and expanding the game of baseball in our community. Not to mention, The good brother was our biggest advocate with Benjamin E. Mays Raiders Alumni Mays Alumni Association and our developing work with Alumni and Students. Brutha played no games and always kept his word - without him there would not have been a Mays Alumni Tailgate.
3) Khalil Phillips - My brutha. My fellow KHALI bearer. My fellow darkskin brutha. My fellow track mate (for that stint of time) and gloriously watch him sail to gold. Always ready for a good laugh, and always ready to help when he could. I caught him with the peddlers once and we caught up. I appreciate that others got to share in your glorious light - as we were separated we could keep up as -- We are the one of few with our names in these similar communities, and its always good love when your name comes. Thank you Dope Pedalers for light on our brutha! B.E. Mays High Raiders Class of 2004
4) Rev. Dr. Helen Johnson - My matriarch, My Granny, my pastor, my spiritual seer, my rebel. Most that sat with me to catch a clip of my story know that I grew up in the church, literally. I also grew up in a store. She was the first major entrepreneur I would meet and see the possibilities of where we can take ourselves when we apply ourselves. She also was my living example of what happens when you give your all and you receive little to less back. She mothered many in Vine CIty controlling an entire corner at the top of Magnolia and Griffin where she watched nearly 60 years of ATL skyline change. She partied with the best of em of her time in her restaurant/bar. She planned with the powerful and righteous for the changes of Atlanta that we have today. From SNCC to Black Police Officers to Black Folks in the Senate to Black Folks being able to sell liquor/have bars to being one of if not the first black female pastors and reverends in Atlanta, Georgia to fighting against the first GA Dome being built. All any one could do was listen to her loud roar and louder laugh. I lost her on the day of the year she was born on the weekend of my bEarthday. [Her story shall be continued on another posts] If You Would Like To Donate To Her Funeral, Please call Willie Watkins Funeral Home 4047581731, ask for the Accounting Office, and give to the Rev. Dr. Helen Johnson Funeral.
