If y’all been paying attention to what’s happening in the USA right now, you know we have a lot work to do:

Racism and white supremacy is alive and kicking in the USA and Canada. Let’s work to make sure love conquers hate and good overcomes evil.

Bob Marley and the Wailer’s song:  War / No More Trouble  based on Haile Selassie I Speech to the United Nations

An excerpt from H.I.M Haile Selassie I’s speech to the UN,
New York City, NY October 4, 1963
