Unity is Progress

Greetings, The reason I joined Black Planet was to make contacts like you. I am interested in receiving feedback and suggestions on how to display and market this flag I have designed, which is a tribute to the achievements and accomplishments African Americans have made in America. The Flag is one of the most unifying symbols through out history and in light of the surfacing racial issues plaguing America today, I believe this is the optimum time to reintroduce this attribute. Youth have been the lighting force behind social change throughout time.

The Flag's symbolism can be used to honor someone in your community or organization for present and past contributions made into the community. As a fund raiser the reproductions of the Flag can be sold to financially support those entities serving the community.

I chose not to narrate or to add music, so that as you read you are not distracted from your own impressions. Redemption Song, by Bob Marley, would have been the song I would have chosen.

Flag of Progress, Unity is Progress. Video descriptive presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =DjzITSGqwz8

Thank you, Ivan Butcher II

My Name is Freedom, by Oyoko Loving.

This is a story of a little girl on St.Croix, whose name is Freedom. Freedom has two sisters Unity and Justice. When I was first asked to illustrate this story, I felt challenged. How was I going to instill the virtues of Freedom, Unity and Justice in three little girls? I used their hair.

Leave Only Your Footprints

This is the video I made addressing the littering and illegal dumping problem here in the islands.

Global warming is a major issue that we have very little control over accept for our personal energy consumption. But, the illegal dumping and littering, we as a civilization can have a major impact on the Global environment.

It has been suggested to make the video into a public broadcasting announcement. I submitted it to EPA, but I never received a response. I have had it sitting for too long, maybe by showing it on you tube the video may get the support to bring it to the Media.

I hope it is as point full to you and others Everywhere.
