Janet Gimores via Roland J Parkers powerful and beautiful words about Curtis Mayfield, Reginald Torian Sr., All Things Mayfield and Keeping The Dream Alive, #marchon #curtismayfield #peoplegetready #allthingsmayfield #oprahwinfrey WHY ALL THINGS MAYFIELD: This event has social significance because. Curtis Mayfields music and its lasting legacy…was a contribution of [QUIET DIGNITY]. That, helped to make the (60’s) struggle for equality.one of the most socially significant and memorable events of Our time. Though Mr. Mayfield did not blow a loud horn and announce his participation in the civil rights movement; or his undying support for Martin Luther King’s Dream, he was front and center in that effort. King brought the Human Drama and the Spirit, Curtis Mayfield brought the Sound Track. The movement could have died or been high-jacked by the more militant, activist of the time…The Black Panthers…The Weatherman Faction, with their solutions of violence. .But hearing the soulful music of restraint being massaged into your being and the essence of who we are as a people, by Mayfields backdrop of Rhythm & Blues, helped to reinforce the message of King. We don’t win this struggle by engaging in violence and mayhem The message was we win by putting or; determination and [DIGNITY] on display. And that’s the tie-in…that’s what makes “THE ALL THINGS MAYFIELD REVUE an event worth going to and socially significant at the same time. As we all await Oprah’s Harpo production of SELMA… and digest the Ferguson…Grand Jury decision still fresh in our minds…following on the heals, of the Trevon Martin case as-well as the chocking incident in New York, it is evident to all that we have taken one step forward and two steps back, in the struggle for equality. The Struggle for equality and recognition as a people is alive in the 21st Century. And once again the Call To Arms is the same…We won’t win by exercising our Right To Bear Arms but by Locking our Arms together and letting our QUIET…DIGNITY speak for us as a people. By showing that we have matured, that we are resilient, that we know that the struggle is an ongoing proposition; that we are ready and willing to see through to the end. We will defeat the enemies of humanity that would deny us the Rights To Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. So all who attend the “ALL THINGS MAYFIELD REVUE” …Produced by Reginald Torian SR… Will be in attendance to refresh their DIGNITY. And renew their strength for the struggle ahead. They attend knowing that when we let our guard down… when we decide to rest on our laurels we run the risk of losing all that we’ve gained. We jeopardize the true fulfillment of The Dream…and prolong its becoming a solid entrenched reality. So by all means don’t miss this note worth and very significant social happening. And don’t just show up yourself, buy a friend a ticket, and when the show is over wear your QUIET DIGNITY WITH PRIDE. THE ALL THINGS MAYFIELD REVUE… Don’t miss the GENIUS OF CURTIS MAYFIELD
